I feel this place needed a 3.5 but sadly I can not give half stars. The renovated pub is very nice. The food was good, however I felt as though it was overpriced. I am a frequent shopper at the Bread Garden (which I love by the way) and as much as I love their meat and bread I was disappointed to see it used here. I ordered the Italian beef and it was good, but again I buy boars head Italian beef weekly as well as bread garden bread and I could have made this sandwich at home, and have. I would love to see this place make their own bread and roast their own meats, THEN I would be satisfied with paying $10 for it.
On a side note, I love the atmosphere.
Stopped in impulsivley for breakfast with a couple friends this past weekend and was not too impressed with the food and drinks. We ordered bloody marys and they were not that tasty and the celery stick they give with your drink was this massive log of celery i.e the part you throw away. The breakfast choices were minimal. I had a traditional breakfast of eggs, hashbrowns and toast. I ordered my eggs fried but they came poached and overcooked and the hashbrowns were thick potato slices that could have stood another 15 minutes cooking (a little too crunchy for me). Even though the place started to get busy as we left, I probably wouldn't come back here for food or drink.
Review Source:Meh, this place was totally not doing it for me. Co-workers and I went here after long day of work. We all ordered something different and were not pleased with much of it.
I order clam chowder soup and it didnt taste like clam chowder, I didnt eat it. I order fettucine alfredo, it was ok, I have had way better though.
This place just did nothing for me.
I would have given them a four, but my last experience drops them.
I had two great cheeseburgers in a row, one cooked medium and one cooked medium rare, both cooked perfectly. Also, in general Micky's has great french fries, some of the best you can get downtown.
Last time, I ordered the burger medium, and it came well, and the fries were under-done. This is the exact inverse of how things should be done -- fries on the well side, good ground beef on the rare side.
Staff is attentive and friendly, they get quite a cross-section of the community for lunch. I'll re-visit the review if I get the burger cooked right next time and last time was an aberration.
Much better than Short's, IMO, which overcooks their fries and their beef.
Probably my favorite meal stop on the drive from Chicago to San Jose. Â Very yummy pub-style sandwiches. Â And hearty sides! Â My brother got a heaping cup of french onion soup.
Yum yum yum.
They had a banner up for drink specials I WISH we could've taken advantage of. Â Really made me miss college towns.
Gotta love Mickey's! Â One of the things I love best about Mickey's is that the theme of their menu has stayed tried and true to "Pub"-style eatery. Â Another thing that I love is that over the years I have been able to watch that evolve as they try new things and add their own flavor to pub food. Â While the conditions can easily become crowded the atmosphere stays friendly and casual. Â Take the time to read the story in the menu about the history of the wooden bar you may be sitting at. Â The best feature: they make the best bloody marys in town, and have so for the past 15 years I've been going there.
Review Source:Visiting IC for the first time and not knowing where to go to grab a quick lunch with the pops, we just walked by this place and decided to try it out. Â The food was tasty, nothing spectacular, but definitely good. Â I know everyone around these parts serves Fat Tire, but since there isn't any in Boston, I was psyched to find it on tap and at a reasonable price. Â Only minus a star for their tiny bathroom.
Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised, and my dad even took my mom the next weekend when she came to visit! Â Glad to know there's one place that is good whenever I'm in town.
Their food is a standard, lazy bar food. If you think standard, lazy bar food is good, then their food is good. I've had better standard lazy bar food, and I think you can get better standard lazy bar food in town. It's not inexpensive, either, I might add, for standard lazy bar food. I'm surprised so many people are taken with their offerings.
As per the post that said this is the best burger in IC? That's simply delusion. Short's are a mile better. If you say Short's is to expensive, I'd rather pay $3 at George's Buffet.
Micky's offers great deals on American pub food in the afternoons and evenings - perfect for walking out of class! Â A great place for groups to snack on free popcorn and finish it off with delicious burgers (my husband likes to top his with cream cheese). Â If you ask nicely, they'll put a shot of vodka in your chocolate milkshake, too - a combination that tastes great.
Review Source:Now this is a fantastic bar with food. Â Good selection of alcohol but what I really like here are their burgers. Â I always think I should try something else but the blue cheese bacon burger calls out to me like a lover. Â Drawing me into a delicious burger, fantastic fries, and beer.
Their weekly specials are always a good thing to keep in mind and it's right downtown so pretty much close to anything.
I agree with Megan's post, it can DEFINITELY get loud in there as the evening passes and it gets more crowded. Â Even so, it's pretty much fantastic.
I went here for the food once - big mistake! Â I had a salad and the worst salad I've ever had (besides Vito's). Â Honestly, I didn't know you could mess one up until I went here.
Then, I started going on Tuesday/Wednesday for Margarita night. Â $1.50 (now $2) margaritas on the rocks (soooo good and strong) and free chips & salsa. Â I loved it! Â Great music, chill atmosphere and you never knew who would be there for a night. Â I was able to go with one person and have a conversation or go with a group of 6 and have a blast.
