"Best restaurant in Athens. Great food, always on point. Chicken is better than Thomas Pit. BLT is loaded. Very delicious. Jumbo dog is the best I have ever tasted. Love their rib eyes, always grilled to perfection. Wonderful assortment of sides. Deviled eggs, sweet corn, mashed potatoes, greens etc. Never canned, always fresh. Prices are lower than anywhere else in town. Mike is a great chef. So glad I found this place."

"Great food with an easy to digest price. We were working in the area and our customer recommended Mike's, and I'm glad we decided to stop in before starting the long drive home. I was impressed by the friendly atmosphere as well as the tantalizing menu selection. The cuts of meat are high quality and well cooked. I hope we are back in the region soon so we can try more!"

"If you are in the area, stop by Mike's for a meal. They have the absolute BEST Philly Cheesesteak that I've ever had! Their onion rings are perfect! They also have plate lunches that vary each day. They even have ice cream and other deserts to cure your sweet tooth. You won't be disappointed with this place. Mike will make sure you leave without being hungry."
