Its always wonderful to find a place that actually knows how to cook a steak and has Fried Mushrooms too! Last August my wife and family celebrated my 65th Birthday at Big Mike's. We returned from San Diego and one of our stops is of course Big Mike's where we enjoyed a perfect Rib Eye, Baked Potato and Salad. Folks in our party had the Blacken Grouper, a Oysters Rockefeller. Our waitress did a great job made us feel special. Thank you Big Mike's for making our visit memorable not just with ambiance but the way we were greeted, wait staff. read more

Good food, great service, decent drinks. Chili over baked potato is a must ( not on the menu order a la carte). Have never gad a bad meal in all the times we have been. Will continue to keep going. read more

Nice and classy restaurant great for dates or night drinks, friendly staff, very busy and has a great selection of food and drinks. Also they look after the kids with crayons and big paper to let them color on. read more

The servers and workers were great, very friendly and helpful. The restaurant ambiance was pleasant, cold but was manageable. Now... the reason for the single star. For the price they charge I was expecting it to be much higher quality, flavor and attention to detail. My food came out cold. Now lukewarm warm, cold. I sent it back to get hot food. The food was VERY over salted when it came from the kitchen while sitting in a pool of oil. The table next to me had an ice cream scoop of butter on their steak that never even melted either. Indicating it was pretty cold too. The pride for price does not justify the overall culinary experience. I would not recommend spending the high price for low poor quality. But there's also not a lot of options in town so they have that going to them. read more

Drinks came quickly. My steak was a weird texture. I think over tenderized so much so that it wasn't juicy but almost mealy. The waitress said two sides but did not say that there was an up charge on each item. She also didn't ask if we wanted dessert before bringing our check. I have no problem spending money on a good meal but when it's not ....I have a problem. A ribeye with mushy broccoli and a raw sweet potato plus an iced tea being over $60.00 . The building is nice and has a full bar . The tables are not too close together which was nice. Definitely not a meal that I was expecting to be disappointed in... but I can say that I was. read more

First things first, the bathroom (because I have worked in restaurants and the cleanliness of the bathroom is a direct reflection of the cleanliness of the kitchen): Grade B- see photos. I grabbed the menu. Steaks are 40 dollars plus. I got a booth. The waitress, Tina, wins the promptness award. She brought Bavarian bread with cinnamon butter immediately. A+ on this bread. Meal in and off itself. Almost like cake. See photo. She was back in no time with my beverage and took my order. Just as fast she brought my my salad. B- See photo. Very salty Italian dressing in plastic solo servings with lids. It's a practical approach to salads on a mass production scale and this place gets busy because it's the go to restaurant in Andalusia. The table is covered with brown paper which I actually like. If anything it shows me how sloppy of an eater I am. That's on me. See photo. The Ribeye medium rare arrived within 7 minutes of me ordering. It's medium rare as ordered. It's heavily over-salted. If not for that it would be perfect. Not sure what all the salt is about on the steak. The baked potato is perfect. Tina was over the moment I finished the steak about desserts. I said no thanks me she had my check back in 60 seconds. A+ for Tina as a waitress. She has that watchful but unobtrusive eye and knows how to pace and keep her tables happy. read more

The steak is okay but the salad is right out of a plastic bag and I have had crunchy baked potatoes there. For the cost, there is little to no value. The service personnel are too chummy and familiar and if you get seated at a center table rather than a booth, it's like sitting in the middle of a grocery store aisle. Thumbs down. read more

We went there tonight for our 42nd anniversary we got there early so we parked I. Their parking lot and walked around for a bit, they open at 4 pm. The place is really nice very clean and the people are friendly, we ordered their baseball steak, cooked perfectly, the tap water wasn't very good so we a bottle of mineral water much better. We choose this restaurant because we went about 4 years ago of our Anniversary also. Would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Big Mike's Steakhouse - Their baseball steak with broccoli - Steakhouses Near Me - Andalusia, Alabama

Best steak in Alabama, if not the country. Located in downtown Andalusia Alabama this steakhouse is special. The ambiance is great because it's located in an old sewing factory. I recommend you order the Three Notch strip. The wait may be a little while but on weekends sit on the porch order from the bar and listen to music performed by local artist. This is a must do for anyone visiting Andalusia. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious ! I love the crab cakes and the dips! Would highly recommend them!

Service is good. Food is good. Known for their steaks but several good options on the menu.

Hi, not sure what all the negative comments are about. My sister took me to dinner tonight for my birthday. The service was amazing, the filet was on point and I cannot say enough about the in house made Ranch Dressing. Exactly what I was hoping for since my sister speaks very highly of this place. Yes the prices are a little steep, but just a good time all around. read more

First time at Big Mike's in Andalusia, The food was EXTEMELY salty which spoiled the meal considering the price was 135 for two without a tip and two beers apiece. The service was a 5 out of 10 which should be higher since this is a "high end restaurant"? Staff were wearing shorts and t-shirts on a 60 degree day, quite appealing! Overall,I would definitely not recommend this restaurant for the price. read more

The hour and a half drive to Big Mike's is always worth it! Their steaks are the best, and the seafood bisque is loaded with yummy crab!! Our server tonight was not very knowledgable when we had asked a few questions about some of the items on the menu, but all in all she took good care of us. read more

Everything was great. The food and staff was great. The wait time and ambiance was great also.

Big Mikes such as awesome place, a remodeled ware house just a block from the center of town. The street is lined with lights that beckons all to come and enjoy some wonderful steaks. Usually there's a line which is a good sign. If you don't want to wait. ask the wait staff about dining in the bar area. The bistro tables are perfect for two. Crab cakes stacked high are my fav and a lemon drop martini... perfect. Fine in or on the patio. Live music sets the tone for a relaxing enjoyable time with friends and family. The wait staff are accommodating, friendly and always smiling. You are sure to enjoy Big Mikes a unique place in the South. read more

Awesome food and awesome service! My husband and ninth got the ribeye. It was delicious! Will definitely drive the distance!

You name it - the food , service , ambiance and drinks ! Shout it to Robin the bartender and waitress just great!!!

The service was great! The food was horrible. My husband sent the tuna back because it was bad. I got a piece of bread pudding to go and didn't notice until I was home it was burnt and hard as a rock. Waste of time and money. read more

The steak was very good and tender. The staff was very friendly and good service. Overall experience was great and would come back again.

Was very disappointed this trip. Prices of course have gone up and I don't have an issue with that but the portion sizes have gone down. We were one of the first parties in last night and our booth was dirty. (Pictures attached) our orders were not all right. I ordered a filet medium well not butterflied, my best friend ordered the same but medium well and she wants hers butterflied (she doesn't like red) our steaks came out reversed. Mine was butterflied hers was not. Hers was very tough. Come on Big Mikes we expect better! read more

My buddy, who is a my steak expert, wanted us to make the 2 hour drive from Dothan to Andalusia to try Big Mike's. After I looked at the menu, all I could think about all day was the trip. But geez, didn't I have to wait for it! We left an hour later, had an hour wait, was seated in the corner of the bar area, and our waitress took her time to come greet us. She said they were busier than usual. I couldn't figure out if she had too many tables or since we were in the corner, it was harder for her to make a better effort to serve us. But even though the service was either too busy or a little lacking, the food made up for it. I started with the fried pickles and the sweet tea. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet, just the way I like it. The fried pickles came out hit and fresh. The fried pickles was very impressive despite there was not as much as I had hoped for $7. They had a sweet taste that blended with the sour. Also, the in-house made ranch dressing was perfect to complement the pickles. The house salad came next with the rolls. Out of my meal, this was the low point. The salad came with lettuce, cheese, tomato, and croutons with in-house made ranch. The dressing was the best part. The rolls were your normal rolls you could buy from the grocery store, but the butter that came with them was outstanding. My main entree was the 16 oz. rib-eye with twice baked potato casserole. The steak, according to the menu, is aged. But it seemed to be dipped in some kind of marinade. The waitress confirmed that piece of info for me. This was possibly the best steak I have had in Alabama so far. The twice baked potato casserole had a rich, cheesy, creamy flavor to it. I am glad I ordered it over fries (not hand-cut) or just a baked potato. The lows for Big Mike's were the service needs a little tinkering to and the ketchup on the table was ruined. It had probably be refrigerated at one point and then left out on the table. But the highs so outweighs the lows. Big Mike's was worth a 2 hour drive for a steak. read more

The food is decent but all the drama that comes with makes it a no go. First the appetizer doesn't show up. Then when the bill comes it has an extra $100 dollars worth that we didn't order nor receive. After all that there was an extra $5 on the bill that we just paid to get out. Pitiful read more

OUR FOOD WAS FANTASTIC! The three stars are for service and wait time. We had a large party of 11 (I hate large party dining, so we were VERY understanding), we knew there would be a wait, so we were there before opening (4:00), and happily stood in line until the doors opened. Once to the desk, we were told 45 min. Ok, no worries, we understand. 1 3/4 hours later we were placed at a very tight table and placed our drinks and half of our apps. We were then moved to a different table. No problem! We were happy to move, easy going bunch. They were slammed, and it was Fathers Day weekend. Food was fantastic service was ok, several trips back and forth to the table to get things straightened out. We had steaks and really enjoyed the food. However, after 4 hours in, we were really ready to go. That is a bit too much to ask patrons to endure. No steak is that good. SUGGESTION: please allow large tables to reserve the bigger tables. If someone calls bringing a large party, it is better for business to tell people no than to have them wait. Had we known it would take 4 hours, we would have made other arrangements. Our bill for 4 was $198 and our applied tip was $35. Our waitress made at least $100 off of our table, just in tips. Not really worth that price tag. read more

Big Mike's is amazing. Living along the Alabama Coast, the Orange Beach location is one of my favorites places to eat. Staying in a state park near Andalusia, I knew I wanted to try Big Mike's in this location. While expecting it to be good, I wasn't anticipating it to be of the same level as the OB location. Incorrect assumption, the atmosphere was superior, and the food was equal if not better. I highly recommend a driving detour to visit this excellent restaurant! read more

This place is amazing! May even be worth the drive here. Service was good and food was better. 8 went during happy hour (4-6) so my meal, 2 drinks, and dessert was surprisingly affordable. I got salted caramel cheesecake to-go. Also, the rolls and butter are wonderful. read more

Most everything here was near perfect, bread could be better but everything else A plus!!

Stopped here on our way home for an early dinner. Got seated right away, but service was a bit slow. Ordered the filet mignon and I have to admit it was the most tender steak I have ever had. It was seasoned nicely as well. It would have been the best steak I ever had if they had blue cheese or gorgonzola crumbles to top it. Highly recommend this place! read more

The food is good. The only problem is that they keep the restaurant so, so cold all year long.

Good afternoon, Staff was professional and friendly. My steak was done exactly like I like it and the salad was good. read more

It was good. Not great but worth the trip. Had the Rib-eye with baked potato and salad. Crab claws as appetizers (little under cooked). We will go again read more

It's our first time here today 5/24/23, we came here to celebrate our Mom 82 b'day. We ordered appetizer, but it never served until our dinner came. A glass of wine we ordered it didn't come except in a bottle after waited for 10 minutes. Our ordered was 3 ribeye, 1 gulf shrimp, 1 glass of wine, 2 bottles of beer... when it came the bill, it showed $259. We asked for our itemized of our order and it showed many items were not ours. Then they fixed our bill $159 and voided the first slide bill. When actual bill after slide the second time become $164 with CC transaction fee that we had to pay... we definitely will not come back with this kind of service. read more

Wow, after making a delivery to the grandkidz, we decided before taking the trip home to stop and get something to eat. As usual I used my trusty Yelp app, which located this spot. The location was great in a quaint nostalgic area. Our wait was very short. Our server was very friendly. The meal was great. I ordered the Cobb salad, the hubby the Big Mike ribeye 24 oz... this will be a returned trip...... read more

I'm not one to leave a bad review but this is deserving. I really don't know what to say. The waitress was very nice but the absolute slowest service I've ever experienced. Ordered the Big Mike steak it was $45 and burnt on the outside/raw inside. The most and toughest fat and gristle of any steak I've eaten in my life. Truly disappointing experience from start to finish. read more
