    They are consistent with the food, placing an order and timeliness. If I was going for a late night place, I would order here. It's really takeout. But there are stools and a counter. I'm mostly ordering hot family who live further away now. The fish sandwich is very good, the roast beef sandwiches. That's about all I've order. They have hot/cold sandwiches, dinner plates etc. Never out of style, a good lunch run.

    I was very excited to stop here because I never been to Boston and I wanted to try a roast beef and a lobster roll. When I received my food the meat was cold. The roast beef and the lobster roll were cold. It was as if they pulled the meat right out of the fridge. The total comes to around $37 which is pretty steep and disappointing since it was cold. I had high hopes for this place to get a cool Boston experience and was unfortunately let down.

    I came back to Mike's again a few months ago. I live 5000mi away, so Mike's is a treat whenever I can come back to Boston. This is a place my dad used to always take us when we came back from Logan and wanted to skip the tolls. Prices are obviously higher, but it's as good as ever. Really can't complain. There's a standing/seating area to down your beef before you move on.

    This is not a place for ambiance or romantic getaways. It IS perfect for a quick, solid meal with outstandingly fresh ingredients. There's a wonderful seafood menu, with lobster rolls, fried scallops and more. **No public restrooms

    Super Roast Beef

    Mike's is awesome! Got the super roast beef 3 way with horseradish sauce, lettuce, and tomato. Delicious! Meat was tender and yummy and sauces were flavorful.

    This review is for the roast beef and roast beef only. A while back, I fell down the rabbit hole of an r/Boston thread that debated where to get roast beef and Mike's ranked as one of the top places particularly for its authenticity and value (apparently, Redditors are staunch in their belief that North Shore places should be avoided, or anywhere else that requires a fork and knife to eat the sandwich). Anyway, we pulled up on our way to Costco and ... my expectations were not high. It seemed like a typical fried food joint right across the street from the Encore.* Well, this is a lesson to never judge a book by its cover because the sandwich was phenomenal. There's a reason why that sign looks super vintage, it's been around for decades. We got the super beef three way (BBQ, mayo, and cheese), and after the first bite, I wished we had each gotten our own sandwich. The onion roll was super chewy and pillowy, the beef tender, the sauces combining in perfect harmony. UGH. I'm not a beef person at all but I could've eaten the whole thing myself. If I'm in the area next time, I might take it to go - there's not much seating and you're just looking out at a parking lot and the street. PARKING: Just a warning that if you pull in from Broadway and park on the front-facing side, you may have to back out onto Broadway, which gets pretty busy. There are spots further along the other side. *I looked up later to find that Mike's was sold last year for $5.5 million to the same development group that owns the Encore. Hope it sticks around!

    Unassuming place, consistently delicious food. it's open late, service is quick ( may get busy later at night ) , and friendly service ( usually;) Ask for well done chicken wings- they make them real crispy and juicy. And i love their cheese and steak and pastrami sandwiches ( make sure to get it on onion bun)

    NEVER COMING BACK HERE. I live down the street and have gotten Mikes for years! This is so bad that a person who has NEVER made a yelp review is making one. I ordered a super roast beef, a small roast beef, and a order of fries. I return home to open my roast beef and the meat is raw legitimately raw. And I've had roast beef my whole life. I know how roast beef is supposed to be, and I know that it is rare, but this was raw and most of the meat wasn't cooked. I called up Mike's roast beef and told the guy what happened he said that he would give me another sandwich and to BRING THE OLD ONE when I returned. So I returned and brought the old roast beef with me that was raw and told him I would like to replace it, and I told him to open up the bag. He immediately threw it away and said he doesn't want to. I I asked him twice more to open up the bag and just look at it because he was trying to tell me that the beef is supposed to be rare which I do know, but this was raw not rare. He refused to open it still and asked me what I wanted. I told him a super roast beef three-way again and he continued to tell me over and over again that I should order something else because what I got was how it's going to be. I just told him please can. I have a three-way roast beef. He then gives me a roast beef bag and I open it before I leave and it is a WELL DONE roast beef. these guys did this on purpose. They were speaking Spanish in the back, laughing making jokes and I know they did this on purpose. I attach the photo of the well done roast beef. They did to get back at me before complaining. Well I'm sorry I didn't want to waste $35 on a raw roast beef. I just walked out never returning again. I suggest you don't come here.

I then got the other daily special, the breakfast grilled cheese and my mom got the smash burger. The grilled cheese was ooey and gooey and delicious. A little more soggy than I would've liked due to the aioli but still tasty, felt like a good egg and cheese panini--I liked the flavors.

Packed with clam meat, drowning in tomato sauce, and it actually had heat --not that "we waved a chili at it" kind of spicy.

Full body selfie approved. Now the drinks. The mocktail I had was SO good. Balanced, flavorful, refreshing. I like a mocktail that has flavor and layers without being super sweet. The apps thoughhhhhh! They deserve their own paragraph because baby... The crab rangoon was TO DIE FOR. That old school wrap dough situation? I have been hunting for that exact texture and flavor forever. My fave restaurant switched dough and I haven't had a good Rangoon since then until now. It was crispy, nostalgic, and perfect. The fried egg rolls? Delicious. The pickled cucumbers? Bright and refreshing and er literally ate every drop, lol. But the WINNER... those fall off the bone ribs. I might have made a sound when I bit into them. Cooked to perfection. A full blown flavor party in my mouth. The scallion pancakes were the only thing that did not hit for me. The dough was thicker and heavier than I prefer. I love mine light and airy like traditional scallion pancakes. If they leaned that way I would have been obsessed. Our main courses... baybeeee The Dan Dan noodles... I did not even get a bite. I went to ask my sister for a taste and they were GONE. All of them. That says everything. My other sister loved the dumplings and even more that they fried them for her instead of serving them traditionally. And the sauce with those dumplings... Let me tell you about the sauce. I am OBSESSED. I took some home and Eduardo generously gave me more to take. That is top tier service and an at home sauce party, lol. My fried house rice was excellent. The mix of veggies and flavors was perfection. With everything else we ordered I could not even finish it. And then... dessert. Eduardo and Paulina surprised us with a complimentary cheesecake that was so light and decadent, topped with fruit and homemade whipped cream. Next time I am absolutely saving space for that. The customer service was truly top tier. The decor, the food, the staff, the background music. Everything PERFECT. My sisters and I sat for hours. We laughed. We ate. We shared emotions.
