The BEST Burgers in Sonoma County. My favorite is The P-Town Burger: a cheeseburger with a marvelously fried egg in the middle. So so good. So good in fact, I am going there tomorrow. read more

Horrible service! The owner/server always been rude. If you're not a regular, she won't serve you until after her.Regulars even though we sat first. It's always been like that. That's why I haven't came for 6 years. Still, the same old s***. And then...... Our food sat at the counter for 5 min while she was talking to her more important customers. I got up asked the assistant if we can get our food. next, The bun is cold. "They don't toast the top, noone does". Ugh. NOPE UR WRONG! a good burger joint SHOULD toast the bun, on BOTH SIDES and NOT SERVE a cold bun. COLD BUN. EW!!!! Also, I had to wave and stand up to get her attention because she never looks at our table, to get more dressing for my salad. I tipped the assistant. She doesn't deserve anything!! read more

We've been coming to Mike's Burgers for the better part of 28 years. We finally discovered it after moving from Cotati up to Windsor, and it became a tradition for us. We've even planned trips up and down 101 around "grabbing a Mike's Burger." Sadly, today was our last visit -- the end of an era. The quality of the product has changed dramatically, and unfortunately, not for the better. The bun is completely different and a massive downgrade. It was cold, tasted almost stale, and the amazing sesame seed bun is gone. When we asked about it, we were told the sesame seeds were apparently "too messy." It seems like a strange reason to make such a significant change to an iconic burger that has been part of what made Mike's so good for decades. The rest of the burger was equally disappointing. The guacamole was ice cold; it used to be just warm enough to melt into the burger. The patty itself was poorly seasoned and lacked the char and crispness that we've come to expect. These burgers used to be charred to literal perfection -- and we've been eating them for almost 30 years! This time, the burger wasn't even particularly hot, and the cheese wasn't melted the way it normally was. I understand that restaurants evolve, but when you change the bun, the preparation, and the overall quality of a product that people have loved for decades, you risk losing what made it special in the first place. It really feels like something has changed behind the scenes, whether it's cost-cutting, a change in suppliers, or simply a change in preparation. Whatever the reason, it's a real shame. Mike's Burgers was a longtime favorite and a true Sonoma County tradition for us. We're genuinely sad to say goodbye. read more

Take out is terrible they never get the order right and then fight you when you ask for corrective action In person dining is fine. Mediocre at best on a good day. We have been patrons of this location since 2016. I think we are done as of today. read more

This was the first time ive eaten here since they started serving French fries. So I guess that tells you how long its been and it will probably be the last time I come back. It was just ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came in and there were only 2 couples seated and one person at the bar area. It was 3 pm on a Sunday and all the tables were dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were told to "just sit anywhere". And $55 for 2 mediocre burgers, a basket of French fries and one soda served at a dirty table i wiped myself? I think its overpriced by a lot. Now the French fries were tasty, just the right amount of salt and crunchy too. I think they were very oily from being fried too many times(see photo) My husband got the bacon cheeseburger. And it was good. A basic bacon cheeseburger though the bacon was done quite well , right amount of crunch and a good amount too. Now, I got the stinky breath burger and it WAS a cheeseburger with tons of garlic on it. It had potential. BUT it had tons of BOILED garlic, like they boiled it in a pot of water! It was so flavorless and watery(see photo) It made my burger a watery mess. So what could have been a good burger was pretty gross. Who boils garlic instead of roasting it? My husband's burger came with the homemade chips and I like kettle style chips but these were stale and hard. Not good at all. I was ready to just go home. I've waited awhile to post this because I just kept thinking maybe its not as bad as I thought it was and I'll think more positive over time but actually its gone the other way. Im sorry, this was just not good all around. read more

To be fair, I should start by saying meat-eaters like this place. But I have to rate it low because you cannot take your plant-based spouse here, or your vegan kid -- which means the meat-eater in the family who loves this place can never choose Mike's for a dining out experience with the fam. I'm not sure if restaurants consider this when refusing to offer fully plant-based items -- that by not expanding to include these, it will mean you lose the business of entire families, or other groups, who have even just one plant-based eater in them. We tried to eat here, but can't. While they have one option for vegetarians, they are just not vegan-friendly at all. I hope this changes... I used to love this place. read more

I stopped here in my lunch break from work. First time here. It was not busy. The waitress was friendly and check on me frequently. The burger was good, you can see the cooks making it. The salad just needed some more toppings. If you rather have fries those are an additional cost. The iced tea was not too sweet nor too bitter. read more

One hour we waited for food. Seeing people who arrived before us and left we still didn0't get our food. Waitress told us somehow our ticket got missed. Ok shit happens! We asked for takeout instead. Our burgers were a mess when we looked at the food. In retrospect the owner the servers dont fing care Its not what it used to be. Our bad for trusting Our bad for forgiving read more

So so good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great, low key environment and fast service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm very picky about fries and we devoured them! Will definitely be back with the family. read more

If you have a craving for a gourmet burger, Mike's in Cotati is the place to go. Friends have recommended this place to us and since we had a free Sunday, we decided to drive out to try it for ourselves. The interior is clean and welcoming. They have booths, tables and counter service. They let us pick our table which we always appreciate. The servers were very friendly and Hailey ended up being our food server. I appreciated that she smiled the whole time as she took our order. Very pleasant and sweet. We ordered three burgers and a basket of fries. Burgers come with cheese and choice of mac salad, potato salad, green salad or house made chips. Krush burger - sautéed sliced mushroom in a Zinfandel glaze Mike burger - their famous burger with all the fixin's Moo-Ben burger - corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut on marbled rye The Mike burger was flavorful, juicy and oh so delicious. They know how to grill a hamburger patty! The fries were nice and hot and their Ranch dressing is delicious, a wonderful dip for the fries. My dining companions enjoyed their burgers as well and we are looking forward to trying their other menu items. Small parking lot in front and more parking available in the back. read more

Had dinner this evening at Mike's. We were a little apprehensive because of all the recent negative reviews, but so glad we went regardless. Service was great! Burgers were great! Sides were mixed. I had the Mooben with garlic fries, having seen it on the food network show called "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" (burger episode) a few years back. My husband had the Mike's burger with chips. The mooben was good enough that I would order it again, but truth be told, the pastrami was a bit dry. My husband said the Mike's burger was one of the best burgers he's ever had. The garlic fries were awesome. Totally garlicky and delicious. The chips were really waffle fries and were served lukewarm so not the best today. While our meals may seem costly for being burgers and fries...we felt the value was there because they were so big. We were not able to finish our meals and if we lived in the area we would have taken the rest home and made another meal out of the leftovers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was not crowded this evening, but just about every table taken by the time we left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Big screen TVs to watch the games, so the ambiance was typical of a small hometown sports bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next time we're in the area and in the mood for a burger we will definitely be back. read more

I was up visiting family and I hadn't been to Mike's in ages. We got our order to go and everything was amazing! Just like I remembered!

Absolutely delicious burgers, you really can't go wrong with any of the burgers on the menu. I do suggest the garlic fries.

Not sure what happened with the quality of food here. Came here a year ago and it was delicious. Came back recently and the sandwiches did not taste as advertised, did not taste like they did a year ago, and the cheesecake was NOT fresh. It's sad how many places are going downhill these days. And in such a short amount of time too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another sad thing is we were here to celebrate a special occasion and this put a damper on the end of our day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We hadn't eaten a real meal the entire day so very disappointed that this was the food we had. Definitely won't be back next time we visit Cotati....If you're visiting from out of town, I don't recommend going here. Unfortunate because I believe this is a family-owned/small business, shame to not be able to support. read more

Good quality food, worst prices in Sonoma county. We use to go here a couple times a month but haven't been here in over a year now due to the exorbitant price increases. If this isn't price gouging I do not know what is. My family and I will never go back to this overpriced burger place that has become more about profit than the customer which is sad. read more

Amazing! Had the KRUSH burger and sweet potato fries, which were the best I've ever had. Definitely will be going back!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Mike's at the Crossroads in Cotati, CA, is the beating heart of burger nirvana, a haven for the common man where honest, hard-working folks can unwind with a meal that feels like a warm handshake after a long day's grind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nestled at 7665 Old Redwood Hwy, this unpretentious gem delivers everything you crave: juicy burgers, a laid-back vibe, and prices that don't make you wince. My wife and I walked in after a grueling workday, and Mike's wrapped us in its comforting embrace like an old friend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is pure, unfiltered Americana--a casual diner with a sports bar soul. Vintage checkerboard flooring stretches beneath cozy red vinyl booths that invite you to sink in and stay awhile.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Big-screen TVs hum with the latest games, while a bull's head mural snarls "One Mean Burger," setting the tone for the feast to come.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's loud enough to feel alive but never chaotic, with friendly staff slinging napkins--piles of them, thank goodness--because these burgers are gloriously messy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar, stocked with 10 beers on tap, buzzes with locals swapping stories, but it's the booths that steal the show, offering just the right mix of comfort and camaraderie.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is a love letter to burger lovers, and my Stinky Breath Burger was a masterpiece. This half-pound Harris Ranch chuck patty, cooked to a perfect medium-rare with a warm pink center, came slathered in sweet roasted garlic cloves that packed a bold, aromatic punch. Each bite was a symphony of savory, garlicky bliss, the cheese melting into every crevice, and the bun holding strong against the onslaught. Paired with their legendary garlic fries--crisp, golden, and dusted with a magic blend of garlic that lingers in the best way--these were the fries dreams are made of. My wife's BBQ Bacon Burger was equally divine, a "pick'er up, don't sett'er down" marvel dripping with homemade BBQ sauce, smoky bacon, and melted cheese, all nestled in a sesame seed bun with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onion. It was messy, indulgent, and worth every one of the 15 napkins we burned through. What sets Mike's apart is the value. These gut-busting, flavor-packed meals come at prices that feel like a steal in Sonoma County's pricey dining scene--perfect for blue-collar heroes needing a post-work reward. Our server, all smiles and hustle, kept the bottomless fountain drinks flowing and tossed in extra ranch--creamy, tangy, and the ideal dip for those fries. Speaking of ranch, it's a star in its own right, elevating every bite to new heights. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mike's at the Crossroads is more than a burger joint; it's a sanctuary where the everyman can savor a meal that hits all the right spots--flavor, comfort, and soul.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife and I left full, happy, and already plotting our next visit, the lingering garlic on our breath a badge of honor. For anyone in Cotati craving a burger that delivers on every promise, Mike's is your spot. Grab a booth, order big, and let the napkins fly--five stars, hands down. read more

Not sure what happened to this place. I've been coming here for years! I went last weekend and the service was absolutely terrible. I took a seat and a lady gave me a menu and I ordered a drink. The waitress took over 10 minutes to come take my order. It wasn't even busy. She was rude from the start and acted like she was annoyed I was there. She brought my food to me and then went behind the bar and turned her back and was talking to the other person working. Neither of them asked me if I wanted another beer or even checked if my food was up to par. That's a whole other story. The burgers are smaller and were really greasy. I had to go over to the counter to pay and the waitress just gave me my bill and didn't say anything. I thought she was maybe having a bad day, but the other lady worked also ignored me and acted weird. Not sure what the attitude is? Maybe you think you're above working at a burger joint? Who knows? In any case you shouldn't be rude to customers. read more

Always good service and food. Tonight I got a Mike's burger with garlic fries cooked medium. I picked it up brought it home and it was medium rare to rare. I called thinking I picked up the wrong order. When I called I was told yes it's your order. Ya, it should be medium. I wouldn't mind but the burger is $16.00 that's expensive and should be cooked correctly. read more

We had to wait WAY too long for our beers (15 minutes) in an almost empty restaurant (5:30pm). Then the food came: at least the wait staff was nice when I sent back the burnt sweet potato fries. They should never have arrived at my table like that!! Where is the manager???!!! But I was hungry and didn't want to wait for them to redo my Krush burger which came with only mushrooms instead of the amazing mixture of onions, garlic and mushrooms soaked in Zinfandel. I have been so looking forward to returning to Mike's and told my date about this amazing burger. Then I got something completely different and burnt fries!!! I did not see the presence of the man who was present at all previous visits (a few years back). He always greeted everyone and checked on tables and looked at every plate before it headed to the tables. The fries finally came and were delicious as was the burger (even if it was not what I ordered) AND I will not return, EVER!!!! PS this meal ran $70 with tip-- 2 beers, 2 burgers and 1 fry!!! read more

The food was bad to okay. A simple cheeseburger is $16! And it was fine, just ok. I don't even know what to say about the buffalo chicken sandwich. It looked nothing like buffalo chicken. It had some runny sauce on the middle of the breast and gross white dots of blue cheese. It looked inedible. They charge extra for fries- so you would think they would be exceptional. Also inedible. It seemed like they were cooked twice and just had no flavor and really no potato. $$$ meal, not worth it. Will not be going back. read more

The food was great but, [[HIGHLIGHT]]don't sit at the bar by kitchen. Cook pants were so low that you could see junk in this trunk and his whole butt.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 1/18/2025 7 pm. read more

Ok so the food alone gets five stars. Very good, well seasoned and cooked. The milkshakes were made with real ice cream and they were THICK like the best milkshakes are. I also tried their un house made cookies and cream cheesecake which I would highly recommend, it was delish! The reason for the two stars taken away is purely the service. I have no idea if the person was having a bad day or was going thru something as most of us humans are on a daily basis these days, but whatever it was overflowed to our interaction and unfortunately took away from our first experience at this establishment. The decor gives bar and grill vibes with a good amount of tvs going on different walls. Looked well cleaned for the most part. read more

I just want to start off with, this place has great burgers. Our family has been going to Mikes for years. Today after church we drove to cotati for lunch, bc its my husbands favorite spot. My daughter and i ordered the Crush burger, the sauce on the burger is outstanding, our burger came & it was wrong, so we let Allison know the sauce wasn't on it. She walked away, came back and said the cook said he didn't make. Allison came back 5 minutes later with mushrooms & said to me "hes making yours" it was wrong again, my burger was cold by then. She was extremely RUDE. She said "if you eat your burger, you have to pay" we immediately handed they plates back. We did not eat it. Mind you its an 18 dollar burger. She never once came back to our table, we had to go to the counter to order our drinks. Time to pay, she didn't take the burger off our bill. We had her call the owner, and owner told her to take the burger off our bill. Allison was so rude to my husband, she tossed the bill at my husband, he tried handing his card, as Allison walked off, she said "I have a job to do" my husband goes to Mikes often, he knows the owner well. What happened to our customer service these days? She should NOT be working with ppl with a shitty attitude. Its bad for business. read more

Went in for a late lunch- not busy but super attentive and friendly staff. Ordered the Mike's burger with American and reg fries. Off the hook - truly, great meat-cheese-bun ratio...beef was super juicy and the produce was crisp and fresh. The burger was really tasty, the fries...the thicker cut was nice, the crisp put on these babies was truly incredible - I ate more than I should. Your stomach says stop but everything else says a little more will be fine... wow! Only downside, I wasn't hungry at dinner. Thank you guys - I'll be back! read more
