Incredible burgers, fork tender NY Strip, delicious bread, and great shrimp appetizer! All Angus steaks cooked over charcoal after a quick dip in Dale's. If you're tired of fish, Mike's will hit the spot!

This is an old-school steakhouse - not a ton of frills and they put their effort into doing a few things the right way rather than 1000 things mediocre. The steaks were very well cooked and tender, I would prefer just a bit more salt/seasoning, but keeping it simple as good also. for sides you get either a baked potato or french fries and a house salad, very traditional. They do have some other sides you can choose from. We got the char grill oysters, which were also very delicious. For dessert, we got the bread, pudding, and I highly recommend getting the ice cream as the waiter suggested. It was very good and enough to feed the 3 of us. They don't take reservations so the wait can be a while, we got there about 30 minutes after they opened and only had a 10 minute wait. If you are looking for a good authentic steakhouse, this is a great choice.

Food is amazing me and my wife got that 24 oz they cook it perfect. This restaurant is a family friendly it is a bit pricy but it is worthy to eat. A little disappointed no calamari. Service is not bad once the food is serve make sure you get your drinks because they will not come back and check you except when you pay.

I wanted to go to Big Mike's solely because it looks like a place that has a loaded baked potato. They indeed have a potato casserole which I did not try, but the regular loaded potato gave me the hit I needed. I also had a ribeye which was perfection and it was 24 oz so it lasted me a few more meals. Big Mike's dining room is a vibe. On this night we saw ladies in stilettos, men in suits, a group of mennonite women, and rag tag families in shorts and tshirts (we fell into the last category). Everyone was treated with the same amount of love.

the restaurant is typical "steakhouse " decor, casual but comfortable. service was very good but not exceptional. food was also good. we each had the ribeye and thought it was flavorful and cooked perfectly. what i did like is that for 8.50 you can split a steak and add two additional sides. we typically split an entree and will do this in future visits.

The food here is always good. I have never had a bad meal. The service is also always good. The prices are high, and have gotten higher than my last visit. But considering we're at the end of the Biden regime's reign, that's understandable. Heck, everything is higher now. Maybe, next week, we'll get Trump back and make things affordable again. There's always a crowd here, so you need to go early and expect to wait, especially during the summer.

Wow! Drove by this on our way in for the week and the place was PACKED- put it on the list to try. Expect longer wait times, but it's worth it! (Our wait was 1 hour/1.5 hours on Monday night at 7pm... and Line halfway out the parking lot at 5pm on a Tuesday when driving past again). Food options for everyone- steaks, seafood, combos, salads, chicken, etc. They start you out with warm bread and the best butter to top- think homemade butter with honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Yum! I got the filet, with sweet potatoes and asparagus. I got the added topper of smothered- which was herb butter with caramelized onions and mushrooms. The rest of the group did the ribeye and did the "split" option, to have their own sides. They have other toppers they tried that was lump crap in a creamy sauce. They homemake their ranch and thousand island for the salad dressings. The steaks were so flavorful and grilled to perfection. The filet melted in your mouth. Sweet potato was topped with butter and brown sugar. Asparagus was buttered and cooked perfect! Sad I didn't snap more pictures but I didn't have a chance! Wanted to dive in!
