Description: I am not writing about Micky’s Place because of its high cuisine, its creative interior design or its stylish setting. It’s in this journal because we were just craving basic food served in a nice clean, not clinical, setting.
Micky’s place was down a very short entrance alley way off one of the main streets and it looked like it would satisfy our dietary needs
There was an uneasy mix of interior design, I use that term loosely, with classic Chinese restaurant regalia mixed with splashes of Afro-Caribbean. Some might say eclectic furnishings! Red fabric roses were displayed on each table with small plastic teddy bears hanging on to the stems. Not sure what that was about but I guess it was a source of amusement.
We saw Cheese burger and French fries on the menu and decided that would do nicely. The serving lady was soon taking our order (well they were hardly that busy) and looked a little surprised when we suggested that we wanted to share. However, they look of surprise was only momentary as she headed off to the kitchen to place our order. Our "coffee" was served fairly quickly and I was just relieved that we’d also been served iced water. The coffee was awful and despite our best efforts we couldn’t face finishing it off. Perhaps the cost of 2 Belizean dollars should have given us a clue as to the quality especially when the serving was a large mug of the stuff.
The burger was slow in coming but a faint ringing heralded its arrival as our server moved ponderously slow towards the serving bar. When it arrived, accompanied by a huge serving of fries, we were pleased that we’d opted to share. It was absolutely delicious and it was a strain to fit the burger into our mouths. In the end we used knife and fork to eat with. Tasty and very satisfying!
Another table with 4 diners seemed to be tucking into huge platefuls of food and they also seemed happy with the food quality.
This isn’t the place to go for an evening dinner but as snack places go it was perfectly acceptable. But don’t bother with the coffee!
