Our waitress was terrific and hospitable. The back forty curly fries were a hit!!! Our table devoured them! The sir Chadwick's overstuffed biscuit was good, but wish there was more gravy! read more

Always a great meal and you get a laugh reading through their multi page menu loaded full of options. You can't leave this place not dining something you want to eat or hungry. The food portions are all plentiful and everything I have had here has been very flavorful and something I would get again, if only I wasn't always interested in trying another new item from this endless menu. Good service and fun atmosphere with plenty to look at from room to room. This time tried the Major meltdown burger - which they describe as A double burger, on grilled rye, with American & swiss, crisp gourmet onion rings & dabs of precisely squirted mayo. Burger was excellent. Also had with a cup of chili. read more

This place is the definition of cheesy. Not talking about the food. There is so much stuff on the walls and even a replica x wing fighter in the driveway. The menu is exhaustively large. Even serves breakfast at 7PM. But..... I love it. I'm so glad these places exist. It scratches an itch. My two teenaged daughters couldn't figure out what to order because they had so many great options for them. Me too! I went with the BBQ chicken wrap which is kind of a safe choice for a place like this. My daughters went breakfast route and ate every bite. French fries were so good. Service was on the quicker side. Waitress was super positive on a Sunday night. Love the midwestern prices. I almost bought a cheesy shirt, but resisted. I love these places. read more

Classic place owned by a local and legendary for food and service. The breakfast specials are unreal. Everything is made perfectly. In 30 years, I'm not sure I've known anyone with even a mediocre meal here. Give these people your money. I usually get the regular Benedict they have here, but the lunch reuben is excellent. And for all that is holy, DON'T STEAL THE MENUS! read more

Mike's Place - Lunch reuben - American Near Me - Kent, Ohio

Had a party of 12 people for my birthday yesterday at the restaurant and thoroughly disappointed with the whole experience. We were not able to make a reservation as the restaurant only allows reservations Monday-Thursday which makes zero sense. Our party was split into two tables which were not even close to each other, with an aisle in between them. Food was not good at all, everything was extremely greasy and not fresh. Overall a terrible experience, would not recommend. read more

i'm giving this a "good" review, though that's being a bit generous. for me, the uniqueness of Mike's wore thin pretty quick. the service was fine, though nothing special. the menu is huge and if you can't find several things you want, that's your issue. i had the "Loaded Diaper" - a huge burrito filled w/ BBQ pulled pork, ground beef, onions and topped w/ chili and queso. the pulled pork was delicious and the burrito was so big i had no hope of finishing it in one sitting. Danielle had the BBQ Pulled Pork Waffled Mac Attack because "waffle"... the only thing we didn't really like was the Spicy Breaded Cauliflower which was just frozen cauliflower. it was fine but nothing worth getting again. i liked it but i'm not sure it's worth driving all the way out there for it again. we happened to be in the relative area so we went. read more

Such a fun place! Full of eclectic decor, and a winding trail of rooms, this is a great place to bring family and friends. The menu is extensive with many unique sandwich and burger combos. They don't stop there though. I took a run at their meatloaf and gravy option and found it to be a substantial and dense slab of beef with a good and savory brown gravy. The server was knowledgeable of the menu and happy to guide you to some of their notorious options. read more

I loved this place, but man were the gnats were a problem. We kept swatting them away throughout the entire dinner. The quality of the food seems to be a hit or miss too!!! Hopefully it will improve!!! read more

Took an afternoon road trip to this fun and eclectic restaurant with a playful atmosphere / attentive service / nice menu choices and decent pricing. We enjoyed the Reuben-Reuben sandwich and the ribs and there was certainly enough to bring home! read more

Great service with good breakfast deals (hour dependent). Breakfast quality was good or average, but definitely way better than those chain restaurants offering breakfast. We were all pleased with our selections. Loved the unique creative decor. Mike may the force be with you and please for your own good keep your wife on the side of the light - not the dark side. read more

Came in and was greeted by amazing staff. I ordered a BBQ brisket Mac n cheese burrito... and let me tell you.. one of the best things I've put in my mouth. They have anything you could think of food wise. I am definitely coming back! Plus the waiter was funny and very outgoing, which made our time even more enjoyable! :) The inside and outside of the building is AMAZING and is very fun to look at. 100% recommend anyone to go and eat there!

Such a fun spot to visit! The menu is HUGE. AND FUNNY. the place is so unique with cool themed areas to dine in. Menu is diner/fun college food but good-bad-for you grub and great portions for the prices. Wish they had gluten free anything - but they don't... now, I was having fun checking out all the books I forgot to take pictures of the food... aside from my side salad. The white Dressing they make in house is AMAZING! read more

This place is worth the drive! Relaxing atmosphere fans so much fun!!!!!! Unique menu items! Come hungry cause portions are huge. It's good to sit in the bar here if you are a sports fan! You can watch games while eating and drinking! If recommend the Dragon Slayer drink unless you are into beer. Lots of beer choices here. Back to the food.....everything delicious! There is something for everyone here! I've never been to a restaurant where there are so many food choices. My Aristotle Greek Salad was delicious and filling. Good ratio of salad ingredients to gyro meet. My family enjoyed their menu choices too! Crab cakes were good and moist--not dry. The meatball sub was delicious and meatballs were a good size. We got some of the peanut butter pie to go. Had it before and it's delicious! Got it to go because full from the dinner sized portions here. When you come here, take a little time to look around. So many fun things to see. Come hungry too......very generous portion sizes! read more

Came in for lunch on a Friday. Driven past this place dozens of times, but never stopped in. Place gets 5 stars for character and service! Food was good, just not great. Ordered the breaded haddock fish sandwich. Came with lettuce, cheese, tarter and Cole slaw. The sandwich was huge and plenty cheesie. Roll was nicely toasted. Tarter and Cole slaw appeared home made. Both were very good, too. Service was very quick, as was the check. Nice find. read more

I was here with a party of 17 minus ten after my buddy Pasi graduated from Kent this weekend with his master's in international pickle spearing. Mike's Place caught my attention with its overly-quirky decor and outlandish furnishings, so I figured why not make my curious eyes feel at home and stare away. I ordered the Rolando's Magic BBQ Melt, and this sandwich was an absolute monster. Three layers of pulled pork, sourdough bread, onion rings, pepper Jack cheese and FRIES. Tons of fries everywhere! What an absolute sinner of a sandwich. I placed it under arrest for the heart attack it would eventually give me. The pickle tasted just fine too. I couldn't get enough of anything on this plate, and I got to dine in the bus too. I'll be back when I'm 87 in the nursing home begging Rolando to get me the mannequin's phone number. read more

I am unsure if I can come back to this place anytime soon. I'm so disappointed with the sandwich I ordered. I ordered a Jelly Rodger. What I got was such a disgrace I ended up taking the burger and recreating it at home. It was supposed to be on sourdough. They put it on rye. Instead of telling me they didn't have sourdough and letting me choose some other bread or another dish, they took it upon themselves to put it on rye. I fucking hate rye. Rye is the worst. They put bacon bits on my burger instead of strips. Really? No jelly and so much cheese that anyone who ate it would be constipated instantly. There was no balance in flavors. Nothing like it used to be. This was a horrible hot mess. No one wore masks. No one distanced themselves. I did not observe cleaning of anything. I will not be going back anytime soon. Like many, many months. read more

The food was ok. My eggs were made to perfection. The bacon and toast was a little over cooked. My partners food Scrambled eggs, hash browns sausage links and French toast was perfect. Our waitress was great. She was on top of everything. The room we were in was to the right when we walked in. It has 6 booths in it. The music is too loud. It's like everyone is talking so loud so they can be heard but everyone else can hear them also. read more

It only took me 5 years to finally try this place. What an interesting interior. You can eat in many different options like a bus for example. I didn't know anything about it other than it's interesting exterior. Went in thinking breakfast but ended up getting lunch special. Glad I did. The cheese burger sliders were delicious. And sort of ridiculously cheap. There was so much to eat I had a second meal to take home that tasted just as good the second and 3rd time reheating. Apparently this place is known for its wings. I'll be returning to try next time and bring more family to enjoy with. read more

I don't care if you don't live anywhere near here, you should drive here just to eat at Mike's. We're from Chicago and love new food- and Mike's should open in every city, beginning with Chicago. First, everyone here is sooo nice. Second, the food is AMAZING. We ordered as soon as we got into the hotel and the menu was overwhelming (in a good way). They make everything but also it's with a twist- a really really tasty one. We had the fried ravioli and it was outstanding. Creamy inside. Crispy and seasoned on the outside. We also ordered the ribs with green beans and Mac n cheese. Everything was perfect. Ribs were tender. Green beans tasted fresh and more southern. The Mac in cheese was homemade and creamy and cooked perfectly. The brisket sandwich was awesome. It's huge. Expect to eat twice with anything you order. And regardless of how full you are, leave with cheesecake and the peanut butter pie. Both were big enough for two pieces each and I don't like peanut butter pie but I do now. It's my new favorite thing. It tastes just like a Reese's peanut butter cup but with a crust that I never knew a peanut butter cup needed but it does. The cheesecake is dense and just a damn good cheesecake. We are so full and have more food left over than will fit in the hotel fridge but we're still getting up early to go have breakfast at Mike's before we leave town. read more

The place was decked out with some awesome decorations and it keeps your eyes busy for a while. You're going appreciate that when waiting for Service, even though they were super swamped it sucks. Got there just before noon didn't get out of there until 1:15pm and we had places to be. Told our server that and we need the check waited another 15mins for him to get it. Food was fantastic! read more

What an INCREDIBLE MEAL and the waitress was too. The Monster Bloody Mary was an outstanding way to start our feast.

Food was really good almost too many options. The decor is wild and all over the place. Went with friends on the bike it was busy but we were seated fast. Very cool place to stop with family or friends. They have motorcycle parking also which is a plus. read more

Great place with delicious food. Lots of things to see inside. Even the menu is huge and has funny banter. Highly recommend eating here.

You can never go wrong here! The menu is enormous! There is literally something for everyone. Sometimes that's the problem there is SO much much you can't just order one thing lol. The service is usually good we have gone a couple times when the servers were less than friendly but didn't mess up our time. The restaurant decor is great! Some stuff is very random but always fun! read more
