Great food and fair prices. Really happy with the quality service the staff provide. Family friendly environment where all are welcome to grab a bite to eat. Recommend the cheesesteak and Hoagies! read more

Very disappointed. They never get our order right. They just make the sandwich the way they want to, not they way it was order. Done going there and spending money for something that isn't made the way I want it. read more

Great food, great customer service, and classic sandwich shop ambiance. When in Reading it's a must for Italian Hoagies & Cheese Steaks read more

Ridge made the best damn cheesesteak!!! Amazing service!! Will 100% be coming back for the food!!

New ownership= slower service, took about 25 min from order to food in hand. The cheesesteak I got was called The Godfather, Cooper sharp, ribeye, onions. On the menu photo it looked huge. 15$ cheesesteak. Come to find out, they only make that in a small after i paid for it, so kind of false advertising if you ask me. With that said, steak sandwich was pretty damn solid. But for 15$ I'd go to Tonys in West reading, or even V and S on 5th street. read more

See all

Excellent service and excellent food I will definitely be back for sure cheesesteak was amazing

I've ate here a lot before new ownership took over ,decided since I was back in the area a few weeks ago to stop and get a cheesesteak.ordered ahead and got there before my sandwich was even started ,no big deal .watched them pull half cooked steak out of a container and heat it and melt cheese on it on the flat top.got home,short drive 15 min steak was gristly,and the roll was def not fresh at all.very bad!with all the sandwich shops around I have to say I won't be going out of my way for one here again! On top of that I had made this same review on their facebook page and they since deleted it and blocked me from their social media! Good business practice.as a company you take the good with the bad not block it all together to come off as something your not! SHAME! read more

We have been going to Mike's for over 20 years. Since the new owners took over the service and food has changed greatly. Its atmosphere is cold and is unfriendly and the food isn't as tasty. We gave it another chance and it wasn't any better. read more

If you like good cheese steaks this is the place to be. It has the best cheese steaks anyway you want them and they do not skimp on anything. The rolls are amazing as well as the waitresses. It's a corner sandwich shop that I discovered 12 years ago and have never had a bad experience. read more

Had not been to Mike's in a long while as there were better options. The last few times here pre-pandemic were kind of blah. Found out they were under new ownership and decided to retry as they have been advertising more. Food was way better than my past experiences. Red Knight cheesesteak was great unlike my past experiences with dry cheesesteaks there. I can say it's the best I've had from Mike's. Burger was good. Cheese cubes like Shell's. Everything was good. Will be back. read more

Thank you to Mike N staff for saving my evening I tried to order through a local delivery service for over an hour or more,their web site would not except my email Mike n staff saved the day n delivered great food at a minimum cost The food was excellent n hot Congrats to you all read more

This is my favorite place to grab a sandwich in Reading, period. It's a combination of the sandwiches, the fries that are made when you order them, the hard AND soft rolls, and the prices. One last thing: you are going to be served on paper plates and the crowd is generally locals who all work for a living. If you want a fancy presentation or chain food, you won't find it here. Also, chats with the staff can be.....colorful. To me, none of these things are a negative. read more

My dad was born and raised just up the street from Mile's. Best day ever was when he flew back to Oregon with sandwiches for all of us! They packed everything up so brilliantly that my dad simply had to assemble them. Always amazing! read more

Oh my goodness! I'm going to write a short review that says all that needs to be said. The food was awesome! Great flavor, huge portion and friendly staff. I was impressed when my coworker and I both tried to order our own fry and the waitress suggested we didn't need that much food. I'm counting down the days until I can come back! read more

When I'm in town, this is my go-to lunch spot. Great cheesesteak! Sit at the diner counter, watch them make your sandwich, and then eat 'til you're full. The cheesesteaks are massive and delicious! read more

I graduated from Wilson in '93. Way back in the day we used to have open lunch and we'd goto Mike's about once a week. Out of ALL the places that I revisited on my last trip to Reading, this place still has been doing it right all this time. My favorite Chinese place was utter crap, my favorite pizza place was closed for renovations, but this place looked exactly the same and "the thing" which I always used to get back then was straight up the best cheesesteak I've ever had in my life. (I just had Jim's on south street philly 2 days earlier). Mike's hands down killed them all. Amazing. I hope you're still there the next time I visit. read more

I highly recommend this place. My friend and I drove from Washington, DC to Reading, PA so he could pick up a car he bought. The car needed work so we spent a few hours in Reading. M. Night Shyamalan kicked us out of The Pagoda so we ate Philly cheese steaks at Mike's. I've been to Philly and had the real deal and I have to say I was very impressed with Mike's. A little Coors Banquet beer doesn't hurt either. If you're in Reading, stop at Mike's, it's a no brainer... read more

Me and my daughter order 2 cheese steaks and a order hot wings. I order fried onions, hot peppers and extra cheese. This was the worst cheese steak I every ate. There was no fry onions in the steaks and all the cheese was at the bottom of the roll not in the meat. Also the wings were hard just with hot sauce throw on them. The person that took the order sound like she was drinking. All I can say is Mike's went down hill. read more

If I was local, I could see Mike's being a regular spot. It's an old time luncheonette setup, tables, long diner counter, and friendly customer service. This is 'mom' or 'grandma' good type food, no crazy trendy stuff going on here. The hero was excellent, good amount of fillings, really fresh bread. I know I'll be back here next trip this way. read more

Large Steak sandwich lot of meat. A mountain of meat, but lacked seasoning. In typical berks county fashion it came with sauce. Someday the concept of pizza steak vs cheese steak will make it to the area. Good sandwich but there are better around. The search for berks best steak goes on. A good huge sandwich with a great price would go again. Good just not great. read more

Mike's has the best cheesesteak in Berks county. The roll is overflowing with well seasoned meat. There meat is chopped on the griddle and the sauce and cheese soak in around all of it. Delicious. read more

Mikes is a great place to go for traditional American sandwiches. Their steak sandwiches are the best around and their French fries are great. The waitresses are wonderfully sassy and the owner is usually watching over things. Take out beer available! read more

I am a frequent visitor to Mikes. They have never disappointed me in any way at all. When you ask for a cheese steak they give you a cheese steak. Loads of meat and always a fresh roll. Hard or soft thats the key. One of the best places to eat in Reading, Pa. I would recommend then to anyone and I will guarantee the would keep making a return trip to eat. The staff is so friendly and always have smilea on their face. Love you ladies, see you soon. read more

Mike's is a treasure to find if you are hungry for a true sandwich, and I mean hungry. I have never been disappointed with the amount of meat or ingredients in any of the sandwiched that I have ordered at Mike's and every single one of them was out of this world. read more

Lrg. Cheese steak, out standing.... Tons of meat on your sandwich! Corn nuggets, scrumptious. . Came with syrup as dipping sauce. Cheese fries,, my fries we hot and they did not skimp with the condiments I asked for on the side... will be returning here again for food, will have to try a beer next time!!! I highly recommend this place!!! read more

the BEST place in Reading PA to get a sandwich. they never disappoint. definitely worth the stop. I always get the fried mushrooms on the side with my cheese steak sandwich. so good :) read more

Voted one of the best steak sandwiches in Berks County (Reading). Great sandwich shop.

First time in Reading PA so I decided to skip the Subway and Wawa and try some local fare. Had to do a u-turn to park as Mikes is on a city street and parking can be a challenge. I was not disappointed. Very good Sandwich. I really liked the old school style of the shop too. Stools, counter and a very 1970s feel to it. The woman making my Sandwich made a mistake and quickly corrected it. Plenty of meat and cheese and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Grabbed an iced tea from the cooler and it was cold and tasty. If you want to try some local food try Mikes Sandwich shop. By the way. I'm eating healthy so I got turkey but their cheese steaks looked amazing! Enjoy. read more
