It's been a long time since I was here and I felt I needed to update my review. I stopped in yesterday and service was top notch. We were joyfully greeted by the ladies when we walked in and seated ourselves at the bar. They were busy, with lots of to go orders, so it took a bit to order but they let us know they'd be with us soon. We ordered hamburgers and a cheeseburger and they arrived quickly and were hot and delicious! You simply can't beat the prices and everyone in my group said they would come back the next time we are passing through. I'm glad I stopped again. read more

Absolutely loved this place. Everything about it is just about perfect with the exception of the absence of fries. The place is small, the booths are small, the tables are small, and the bill at the end of your meal is small too. The prices are like it's still 2009, greed having somehow not touched this place yet despite the changes in ownership over time. I thought the double cheeseburger was plenty big, and it tasted like real beef which seems to be rare these days. Waitress was nice, owner popped in and was nice, $2 sundaes and $3.75 malts in 2025 is wild. Wish I lived closer! read more

Good food, good quality, very friendly San Francisco code good location just wishing it was a little bit bigger inside

It's a family tradition! From my great grandparents to now my granddaughter! There is no better burger

Order the burgers as doubles - hardly any meat on the single - the choc shake was pretty good - no fries only chips here - what they have is ok just so limited - we left hungry read more

Good service and good food. Would hope if your in the area to check it out and see for yourself

I'm stunned this place doesn't have a 5 star review. This place is a local gem. If you're debating about trying it... just go! It's awesome. Bring cash and get a chocolate shake and a couple burgers with the works! read more

We had various hamburgers and cheeseburgers and shakes. This is a must stop when visiting the area. Even Vice President's and dignitaries agree. Under new ownership this place remains pretty much the same as it has been for the past twenty years or so. The burgers are very good but not as good or as inexpensive as Jozwiak's Bar & Grill. A great experience if you can find an open seat! read more

WOW! This place has great reviews for a reason. Can't beat the prices. The portions are a little small but we were full after so it wasn't too small! The malts were incredible. Both flavors and I'm not a strawberry milk fan! The juke box is 25 cents for 3 songs. Such a cute place. Everyone was so nice. Will definitely stop on our way back through again! read more

Going back in time - this is a classic that has been preserved. Tasty little burgers.

Been in Marinette a week for business and this is the place for good lunch! Charcoal fired hamburger, cooked to order and the line, on both visits was out the door nearly. Excellent flavor, hot sandwich with your choice of toppings, chips and a drink.. $10. Seriously... $3 burger, $2 drink, $1.50 bag of chips. Order 2, their small on purpose, one isn't enough but 2 is just right. Locally made bun, pleasant service and not in your face! I asked how long one of the girls had worked there, 24yrs.. same burger. Owner is cooking them at the grill and they are running around helping everyone, never missed a beat... order was perfect. Great place, don't miss this one! read more

Tried this place because we were told it is the best burger in town and we believe it. Simple but delicious. If you're worried the burgers are too small, get a double or a couple of burgers, the prices are great! The staff were friendly too. Would recommend! read more

I've been coming here since I was a toddler. I absolutely love this place! There's not a lot of seating in the place, but if you don't get a table, their to-go ordering is easy to use. The charcoal grilled burgers are second to none! Double cheeseburger with the works and a chocolate malt is my go-to. Don't expect to order fries with your burger, but chips are a great substitute if needed. Check them out! But be careful, once you try it you'll want to go back! read more

GREAT BURGER! We came in thinking we were going to have actual BBQ, however, we discovered that this is a place that serves BBQ type items. We had cheeseburgers and they were so good! They aren't big, but they are really perfect! You taste a little of everything in each bite - burger, grilled bun, and condiment. Also treated ourselves to a chocolate malt. Again, it wasn't big, but perfect. All in all this was delicious! And we didn't walk away stuffed . It was just the perfect bite to eat. Great service, great food, in an adorable atmosphere! read more

When you walk in, you see the grill and know you're not at your average fast food joint. Burgers have char and the toasted rolls beat your sorry buns silly. No credit or debit, but there's an in-house atm. Support local biz and stop when you're in town. read more

Best burgers and malts around!!!! Grew up eating these and have to stop every time I head up to the UP read more

Nastalgia is a 5, burger bun is a 5, double patty is a 4 , malts are a 4.5 and value is 5*!! Worth visiting this Time Capsule if you're in the area. read more

Always love the burgers and malts, the best! The prices are amazing and the nostalgia can't be beat.

Best burgers hands down, a stellar butter burger ... we drove past this place for several years until I consulted Road Food and realized we were ignoring a landmark. First time was a revelation! Service is fast, food delicious and it's a small, charming diner-ish interior that makes me nostalgic. I immediately want another but have to talk myself down ... almost forgot, get a double! That helps the craving. read more

THE BEST FOOD & service, not mention very good prices. Like a nicer version of fast food. read more

Old time burger joint that amazing! Small menu but good food! The burgers are great and don't forget a chocolate malt too! My favorite stop in Marinette read more

Got the cheese burger and a malt with a bag of chips. I have to say, if you think your getting a half pound burger, did you look at the price? For under $3 your not going to get a huge party, get the double then. I'm honestly shocked people reduced stars for this. The malt was very good. I liked the butterscotch but my wife drank all of the strawberry one. I got a taste and it was delicious. The chips were potato chips. I wasn't expecting anything shocking but they were good. I wanted something with my burger. I will add, next time I'll get the double. This was my first time here and I will go back. read more

Charming, tasty, friendly. Old school dining at its best! I meant to post this review 9 years ago, because thats the last time I was there.. but this tiny review will have to do, because it's been so long. Enjoy this unique place! read more

I was visiting my family in Carney MI. and decided to drive to Marinette to check this place out. It's great. I ordered the cheeseburger all the way and thoroughly enjoyed it. This aint no "craft" burger, this is a classic, mid 20th century backyard charcoal grill burger. It's served on a Zemal roll, which I have never had before, but was a perfect companion to the beef patty. I have to say, as I was enjoying this sandwich I felt like I was sitting in a backyard on the Fourth of July somewhere in the old midwest. I'll be back. read more

Kind of like making a trip to see the Wizard of Oz. Really cool as long as you don't look behind the curtain! In this case I mean if you sit on the side that has the shake machines. If I had to guess they must just clean them at the end of the day. I hope! (See pics posted by other reviewers). Otherwise everything is pretty good! Burgers are tasty, but have a lot more bun than burger. I would recommend ordering the double burger. If I had to have more burger than bun this would be the place however.... Great buns! I will bet that if you ever have driven by this place you will say "that place looks like it has great burgers". I'm sure not has changed in a long time, even the juke box has mostly 50's and 60's music. Well worth the stop if you want a good burger, might think twice about a shake! read more

Mickey-Lu-Bar-B-Q - 3 songs for a quarter! Almost all from 50's and 60's! - Barbeque Near Me - Marinette, Wisconsin

If this place ever closes, part of my childhood memories will go with it. Every road trip through Marinette/ Menominee was not complete without a pitstop here. I love this place. I love walking in and smelling the the food sizzling on the charcoal grill. Oh the nostalgia! This place is a blast from the past, and way before my time. There are so many rare things to ogle about here. The owner, Chuck Finnessy, is almost always working... the charcoal grill. Play a song on a 1950's Jukebox. Order an Old Fashioned Malt with your Butter Burger. This place is famous for doing things the old way. Cheeseburgers are about $1.50. A double cheeseburger is around $3. Shakes and malts are around $2. I'm going bonkers over these prices. How can a burger so good be so cheap and so iconic?! Best old fashion burger, hands down. read more

Don't be confused by BBQ on the sign, there's no shredded beef here. I drove past Mickey-Lu's on UP trips for almost two decades before stopping in for the first time last year. I'm a big fan. The burgers are not huge so you may want to get two (or try the brat!) but they are cooked right in front of your face on an old charcoal grill. They don't offer fries or other sides but you have to get a hand-scooped malt as well. read more

Food is great! Wait Staff are awesome! They are really busy most the time, but wait times are minimal. The chocolate shakes are bomb diggity, and the double burger is greasy but good!! read more

Walked in up to counter. Waited for the lady who was cleaning the counter to get done so I could place a to go order. She saw me and after she was done just walked away. If they don't need customers that bad I'll be glad to go elsewhere. read more

My Dad grew up in Marinette and I've been going to Mikey-Lu's since I was a kid living in Milwaukee. The original owner and his family used to live in "the back" as part of the restaurant--way back when. Yes, it's small. Yes, it's an old 50's diner--from when it originally opened. But damn, is it good. I live outside of Chicago now but travel to Green Bay quite often for business and whenever I can, I make the 1 hour drive north for a double cheese, single brat, and a vanilla malt. Meat is fresh. Buns delivered every morning from a local bakery. The "true" charcoal grill gives a nice kiss of smoke. Absolutely cannot beat it! If you are ever "in the area" (1 hour radius isn't unrealistic), you gotta go. But depending on the time, you might have to wait a bit--but it will be well worth it. Mickey-Lu's is the best!!! read more

Great burgers! Definitely recommended. Burgers are fairly small but the prices aren't bad. Shakes are good too. Solid burger place.

Honestly the best burgers I have ever had. I have been there a few times now and every single time I'm blown away by how good their food is. Please give them a try if you haven't I can't recommend them enough. read more

I love Mickey Lu's and stop there every time I'm in Marinette. It's always the same, always will be the same. The atmosphere is 1950's, prices are nearly as low as the 50's, and the food is great. read more

Exactly what it is supposed to be. Food, malt, friendly staff. I will be coming here again. read more

Great burger for the price, although it was disconcerting to find an unmelted pat of butter under my pickle. I especially liked the bun, and the chocolate shake was great. French fries are not offered, just DeeLishUs (incorrect spelling) potato chips from Waupaca, WI. Prices are kept low by unceremoniously dumping your wrapped burgers on the table without a plate or even a tray. Bathroom is tiny but clean--no room for a baby changing table. The restaurant was busy at lunchtime, but we found a place to sit, and service was fairly quick. I'd eat there again. read more
