Mike's American Grill

Mike's consistently delivers a great experience. Everything on the menu that I've tried has been good; favorite dishes include the salmon filet, pork chops, Monterey salad, and Ozzie rolls. Service is excellent and a model that other restaurants should follow. I dine here every chance that I get.

I've been coming here for years and years. It never fails to deliver incredible food done fast and right.

It can be a little pricey, a salmon salad and Diet Coke with tip ran me $20. That's a little high, but everything was fresh and delicious.

My favorite thing is the little donut bread (just shaped like it, doesn't taste sweet) with sweet butter. Yummy.

I usually get the pasta with beef tips, but I am trying to stay away from meat at the moment. That dish is to DIE for. It's a nice size, almost too much, but I'm sure you'll be okay. If not, bag it up, I'll take it home for you.

The only complaint I really have about this restaurant is the waitstaff. We had a girl who waited on us who was just totally unprofessional. I asked her for an ahi tuna salad that I'd had when I'd been there a few years ago. She said 'oh, we've NEVER had that.' I informed her that I'd been coming to this restaurant for 10 years and she STILL argued with me. Even if I'm wrong, don't let me know I'm wrong, your tip depends on it. Seriously.

She was just really abrupt and rude. I wish I'd gotten her name because she totally needed to be put on blast. I would never allow her to wait on me again.

Other than that, Mike's is still good old Mike's. It has a great bar, lots on tap, festive atmosphere and the food is heavenly. You can't go wrong with anything at this bar (except some of the staff - and you know who you are!), I've loved it for years.

They have been serving it up here for over 20 years.
I remember when this place was built here in Springfield, seemed like they built it from the ground up in only a few weeks. It's pretty large with 2 levels.

I went back for the first time in over 10 years last week.
It's well kept, you would have no idea that it is as old as it is.
GAR really knows how to do service right.
The place was packed, but we had no problem getting our food quickly.
Another thing I like about this place is that it isn't overly noisy like Coastal Flats or Arties. Those 2 places are horrible if you want to be able to hear yourself think, just forget about it, they blast the music as loud as possible to make sure you won't think straight.

The menu of Mikes is pretty much the same as Sweet Water Tavern, standard American Fare.
