Always crowded no matter when you come, all-brick Mike's (another offering from the Great American Restaurants chain that includes Artie's, Carlyle and Sweetwater Tavern) is the epitome of the casual American eatery where mighty portions rule. You can choose to pass the time in the lively downstairs bar, but if you want to eat seriously, you'll be escorted to an upstairs table. If you're lucky, you'll secure a table near the kitchen where you can get a close-up of the cooks at work. (The restaurant, which averages long wait times, doesn't take reservations; but it's strongly recommended you call ahead to be put on a list shortly before you arrive.)
The menu features a variety of food, like the Tex-Mex egg rolls. The bacon-cheddar burger is a must; the steaks are good, too. Other homey foods include grilled pork chops and the deep-dish apple pie.
Kids are welcomed here (and pampered by the friendly servers), and they'll love the crispy French fries that accompany almost every dish.

Awesome
TGentrup - 06/30/2008A friend introduced us to Mike's American Grill a little more than two years ago. They are always busy! It is a 3 story restaurant. Bathrooms in the basement and the 1st and 2nd floors each have their own kitchen. Great service! Great food! It is a little pricey, but worth it. We go for special occasions and when visitors are in town. The Carlyle is good but Sweetwaters is just ok. They are all a little noisy. So, don't think you are going to have a "quiet meal"

SeaGzr - 06/29/2008We ate there about a year and half ago for the first (and last) time. My niece's chicken was bloody on the inside and she sent it back. She tried to order another meal but was told it would take another 40 minutes. The rest of us already got ours. Luckily, she didnt share my salmon. I was violently ill 2 hours after leaving the restaurant. We have never been back and we definitely dont recommend it to others.
