Mike's Grill & Tap

Went last night, we were with a group of about 20 people, told our server 3 times that we were ready to order, first drinks, then we said appetizers and drinks, then we said dinner and drinks, each time he said he would be right back, but never came back to take our order.  After an hour, we left without ever getting a drink or any food.  Very disappointed.  We kept trying to flag down a girl from the kitchen, we were seated in front of the kitchen doors, but the 2 girls just kept ignoring us.  It was busy, but not that busy, they seated 3 tables after us, and they all got waited on.  I don't think we will go back, really sorry, we really try to support the locally owned establishments.

Really awesome burgers!!  Real beef. .i.e. not from Sysco. Huge Bourbon and whiskey selection. Quality food. met the owner Mike. Very personable guy and  he obviously really cares about what comes out of the kitchen.  

I was a little disappointed that their single malt selection appeared to be considerably less than their bourbon and whiskey selections.  However, I'm probably a minority as a scotch drinker.  

Like I said, the burgers were awesome and from what I could see at the other tables everyone seemed to be digging the food.  Put this one on the must try list.

Excellent food and excellent service! Really, if Mike's were judged alone in these qualities, then it is the best restaurant in O'Fallon and probably one of the best STL. I wish more could be said for the ambiance, which is sterile and cold and lifeless (to be generous). Craft beers are served at the bar at great prices though the bar and floor plan aren't exactly inviting.  The bartenders are very friendly. The menu..well..there isn't much not to love. Try the sourdough bowl with artichoke dip and try not to eat the bowl. You cannot resist. Were do they get this sourdough? Heaven? Then the rest of the menu too? Did Mike make a deal with the devil for the recipes? If only the same could be said for the designer, which he should have fired. Seriously. Hopefully this stellar restaurant will be around for the long term- O'Fallon is LONG OVERDUE. Adding some warmth to Mike's is really all that is needed.
