I went here twice while visiting in Thunder Bay. The decor/atmosphere is amazing. They serve 34oz beer which was good and cold ? the Buffalo Butter wings were awesome, I had to have them a 2nd time. Stacey was my bartender/server, she was great, friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go again next time I'm in Thunder Bay.
After three weeks on the road and headed home one of our last stops was hotel located beside Mikes (Holiday Inn Express).We walked over and had an exceptional patio experience. Server super friendly and knowledgeable. Pointed out the best dinners, which were exceptional. We were very pleased and can honestly say one of best meals we enjoyed on the trip which included stops in Jasper and Banff.Really enjoyed our meal and the experience.
Great experience all around. In my two visits I had 1. Cheeseburger which was fine and not too big (which happens too often these days where restaurants think we should all be eating for two) and at $13 (with fries) is priced right. 2. Ribs - it was half off so took them up on the offer and they were very good. 3. Beet salad - so good I had it both times and so big I took home the leftovers and had them the next night. Beer - tried two excellent local brews. Service - outstanding, both times. It's also a nice-looking, modern and airy space. Glad also to have found out this is not a chain and there really is a Mike! Nice work, Mike.
Great Food.... Service not so muchHere on a business trip and came twice during my stay. First time it started well but by the middle and end we felt like there were more important things like talking to the hostesses. The waitress wasn't very personable, did check on us for re-drinks till the end of our meal and when she brought the bill she did even ask if we needed the machine. As we got up to approach her she told us to have a good night and we could of just walked out and not paid (we paid fyi) lolSecond attempt again the food was amazing, but again was late on checking up, had to get the hostesses attention so I could get sault and pepper, when telling me sides she did explain that sweet potatoes were actually fries.Again we all have off nights but there's a bit of a pattern here. Hope they can get some training in :) like I said the food was solid.Cheers
We ate at Mike’s last night to celebrate a birthday. Service was good, table good for conversation. Three out of Five us us enjoyed their meals. My friend and I ordered the fettuccine with shrimp. Shrimp were fine but the fettuccine sauce had no taste. I ate the shrimp and only a few bites of the pasta. Our server did not ask how our meals were. Very disappointed.
Fantasic service. Fantastic food, Fantastic place. Loved every bite. I had the top sirloin steak and my boyfriend had Mike's Burger. Both were excellent. Fries were amazing. Well Done Mike's Roadhouse.
I really had hopes this place would have better food than the previous Shoeless Joe's that was here. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The burgers are not much better than what you'd find at a fast food joint. And the ribs are atrocious. They're small and taste just like a McRib. Next thing to try is the fish and chips, which I hope are good as they looked good and was recommended by one of the servers. The only redeeming quality here is the service. Been here plenty of times and never had a bad experience. The servers and hostesses are always courteous and will check up on things regularly without being overwhelming. I'll be back and I hope the food gets better.
If I could give less stars I would. Ribs were boiled, flavourless and completely a waste of money, fries tasted like they were freezer burnt. Would definitely not recommend as a bbq restaurant. Very disappointed for how much we spent
Spectacular food and very good service! Strongly recommend!
Be careful 'Enjoy a free appetizer'... coupon... in the fine print that isn't true.. completely It is a choice of 3 appetizers in small font at the bottom of the coupon. When I told the server I wanted to use the coupon and I ordered more than $40 of food which you need to do .. I then chose something that wasn't on the coupon (which I didn't know) and wasn't told that wouldn't be free. At the end of the mean they wouldn't comp it... says "They are sorry" "They can't do it"... Even after I explained... They aren't sorry and this coupon is something of a mis-leading advertising.
