Going to Mikey's feels like going to a family member's for dinner. We felt very welcomed, it had a warm and friendly ambiance. It felt like I imagine the TV show Cheers might feel, "where everybody knows your name". It seems like a place you can go to if you're feeling lonely, or are new to the area and want to get to know people, I went in February when I was visiting from Minneapolis and felt very comfortable, like I could blend right in. They were having a game night. There were people in groups at tables playing a trivia game. I don't know if it was the owner, but whoever it was, asked a question and each table would try to come up with the right answer. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. The restaurant looks stark from the outside and didn't seem like much, but iwe decided to take a chance and it sure felt good once we walked through the door. On top of all that, the food was delicious!. read more

A local favorite in Newbury Park, with an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. I initially came here with the anticipation to order the shrimp pesto scramble. After reviewing the menu I went off script and chose the steak Benedict. My thought process was I haven't had red meat this month and also wanted to try dish I never order, here or anywhere. It was a very filling meal for sure. The steak was bountiful, cooked to order, and sliced to where it was easy to use cutlery for each bite. I did not need any additional condiments. Saw another patrons plate of steak chilaquiles that looked bomb. The owners are very friendly and attentive to their guest. The facilities are clean. read more

Came here for breakfast and it's a pretty open space. Looks like in the evenings they have live entertainment. The server was really friendly and nice. I ordered the two eggs and steak breakfast. I asked to substitute the potatoes with sweet potato fries and she happily did so. I ordered the steak medium rare with sourdough toast. The food came out pretty quick. The fries were crispy on the outside with a hint of salt and was really good. The sourdough was nice and I added butter to it. Now to the steak. The seasoning on the steak was really good but the steak itself came out well done. Not medium rare, not medium, but fully overly cooked. I didn't complain because the server was so nice. I would probably come back because everything else came out really good but maybe try something beside a steak since that doesn't seem to be their specialty. read more

Mikey's is the kind of local spot every town needs. Lisa and Mikey run it and they're incredibly friendly and welcoming. They host fun events like karaoke, comedy nights, and even magicians, which gives the place a really lively and unique atmosphere. I ordered the burger and it was massive. The patty was thick, perfectly seasoned, and had that delicious charbroiled flavor like something straight off a backyard grill. Great people, great vibe, and great food. I can't wait to come back and try their breakfast. read more

I occasionally stay at the Palm Hotel the hotel offers complimentary breakfast at Mikey's just across the parking lot. I will order off of the regular menu as the omelettes and crepes are really good. The hotel menu is good and exceeds the typical free breakfast offered at most hotels. While it can get crowded with hotel guests the service is efficient and cordial. Never rushed. The place is always clean. I have observed the European customers can often be rude and impatient. And as mentioned in a recent LA Times article they don't tip. A custom here in the U.S. read more

I tried their corned beef Benedict with hash browns. The outer edges were crispy! When I cut through the poached eggs, it was yummy with yolk seeping into the corned beef and English muffins. I haven't had corned beef in years, and this hit the spot! Only reason why I dropped a star, is because the server mopped her area with cleaning agent while I was eating, and the smell bothered me, and kind of made me feel nauseous. She was a friendly server, but just thought cleaning should be done super early while no one is eating at brunch hour. It was toward the end of my meal and wanted to get out of there fast. read more

Stopped by Mikey's on our way home from a SoCal roadtrip. I was hesitant because it was empty but it was mid week at 3pm. But service was great and so was the food. My daughter and husband had burgers and I had a salad. All delicious and fairly priced. Will definitely stop by again on our next roadtrip. read more

I travel to Thousand Oaks regularly for business and stay at the Palm Garden Hotel. Mike's restaurant in the parking lot is a regular stop for me over the past year or so, especially for the free breakfast included in staying at the hotel due to their partnership. I've developed a relationship with the owners having eaten there so much and now they regularly cater our company business meeting. Food is always great tasting and delivered on time. I would highly recommend Mikey for any occasion. In fact one time I went in not feeling 100% and Mikey made me an off menu chicken soup which I would say believe it or not healed me by the next day, was absolutely amazing! read more

Comprehensive menu. Relaxed atmosphere. Great friendly people, that remember your name when you return .

Mikey's is such an amazing local spot, and I'm always happy to support them whenever someone wants to grab breakfast! I brought my boyfriend here for the first time and he genuinely loved both the food and the service. the owner actually came by to talk to us, and she was such a delight. we ordered the ube pancakes and an omelette and both were delicious. I've been here several times before, and I really appreciate that they offer a good amount of gluten-free options. I've never been disappointed. the owner also told us about their karaoke nights on thursdays and fridays, as well as 21+ dancing on saturdays, which sounds so fun and is such a sweet way they try to bring the community together. It's truly a small, family-run business, and you can feel the care in everything they do. I highly recommend Mikey's. I actually prefer it over other breakfast/lunch places in the area, and I really hope more people give them a chance. they deserve way more love and attention! read more

Service was very nice/gracious and prompt, but they didn't check on us... no refills on water or opportunity to make requests. The quality of the food and the flavor combinations left us disappointed. The steak sandwich was chewy (wrong cut of meat or lack of proper tenderization) and the pesto sauce masked the smokey tones of the roasted veggies. The medium well burger was more like well done and dry. Sweet potatoes have a seasoning that clashes with their natural sweetness. Sometimes, keeping things simple and letting unique flavors shine is much more successful. read more

I hate to leave this review because I'd visited this restaurant before at least one or two times when it first got rebranded and it was a good breakfast place. I went there with my family a few days ago and it was packed with families in town for some children's sporting event. In spite of that we were seated fairly quickly but we sat at the table for a long time before being able to order and an additional 30 min before we got our food. At some point all the sports families cleared out and we thought that maybe the service would improve but the opposite happened. The steak my partner ordered was almost raw in certain areas even though he ordered it medium rare and because of how long the service was taking and how difficult it was to get a waitress to come to our table he chose to eat around it. Our potatoes were also burned. Even just getting someone's attention for the check took a while. I am hoping that the owners see this and realize they need more staff and to better train their cooks. We told the last waitress that brought the check about the steak and she credited us 20% which we appreciated but after this experience we won't be returning. I hope it returns to its original state. read more

Was wondering how Mikey's was since they opened and were not disappointed. The lunch and breakfast menu is massive but we were here for happy hour and I was great. Great value on 1/2 off appetizers and drinks deals as well. We really enjoyed our orders, and had some really good wings as well. JV is a phenomenal server with a great personality and sense of humor. And if you can get him to sing you are in for a surprise, dude has an amazing voice. Long story short, it's a great spot, don't miss it. read more

The food and the service were both excellent. We enjoyed meeting Mikey and his wife. They both went above and beyond to meet our requests. The food portions were large enough for us to take some home and for me to have another meal the next day. I highly recommend them. read more

I'm giving this restaurant a three due to the fact we had to get someone and ask them where could we sit. We were brought out menus right away and my husband and I each got a beer. But then I had to go get someone when we were ready to order. It might've been the owner's wife as she was cleaning menus. They weren't very busy yet as the crowd wasn't coming until like six and we were there more like five. The owner came over and talked to us and he was very nice and everyone was nice. I just felt kind of ignored. My husband had the patty melt and he loved it. He got onion rings and he shared some with me. I got the pastrami melt. It wasn't as good as most of the ones I've had before. I think I should've asked for some spicy mustard that would've helped. I chose baby greens and it was a salad and it was fine. It's a big place for big parties and the parties could be loud. A duo was coming on to sing, Sinatra, etc. read more

First I will have to say that we really liked the owner and his wife BUT..........we went for Thankgiving dinner. There were only 4 other pepole there. Mikey had told me on the phone that TG dinner was $25.99, but he charged $27.99. It was terrible. It was served cold....sweet potatoes had a chill on them from the frig. Green bean were not cooked and hard. Stuff was....wierd with mashed carrot in it and what looked like cheese on top. turkey was ok. I hardly ate anything but the turkey. A Marie Calendars frozen turkey dinner would have been better and been about $25 less. When we were thru, he brought one small piced of pumpkin pie with 2 spoons. REALLY? for $28.00? I feel that my money went in the trash. Had to make something else to eat when I got home.When the asked how it was, I said absolutley nothing, but my friend not wanting to hurt there feeling said it was great. Now she is telling me that it was awful and they wont last. If something is bad, I will never say it was good. This was really really bad. I was like they took at frozen dinner from the store, and put it on a plate and microwaved it for a minute or two. I have been hearing from others that the food is not good too. Such a dissppointing Thanksgiving. read more

This establishment was recommended by NextDoor app. I ordered crepe to go and honestly couldn't even finish. A Total waste of money. Sorry to be honest though they were nice people. Kind of a mom and pop business. I wish the food was decent. read more

Great family run eatery. Ate here a couple times recently. Really good food both times and solid service. Mikey is serious about his food and a very present owner/chef operator. The interior is in serious need of details and a redo, to make it a fine dining experience. But it is a great neighborhood restaurant were you can sit at the bar and have a really nice meal with friendly service. Walnut crusted Cod, was succulent and cooked to perfection. The mash and side vegetables, basic but good and very well cooked. I enjoyed my dinner that night I returned the next to try two other dishes I saw. Fried Calamari is really good, real hand cut and true house made marinara. A nice portion and freshly made sauce, a great start. Stuffed Portobella Mushroom on pesto pasta was simply freakin delicious. A beautifully prepared large cap stuffed and piled high over a bed of fresh pesto pasta in a rich cream sauce. It was a great choice. 4.5 Stars rounded up for the great hands on owners. Definitely worth a visit and support. I will return when in the area. 00943 read more

My husband took me out for Valentine's Day. It was our first time and the restaurant looked quite empty, but the line we were there, the more people who came.... And they appeared to be regulars, waving and greeting staff as they arrived. The waitress appears to be a substitute.. she was friendly and willing to get us whatever we asked for, but wasn't organized like a traditional server. The atmosphere was relaxed...it took over an hour to get our food, but it was hot and delicious... Except for the garlic bread which was cold. Open mic karaoke had regular patrons busy the whole time we were there... Most was tastefully ding. The man at the next table highly recommended visiting at breakfast time... Recommending the Filipino pancakes that are DELICIOUS read more

Our group is exploring places for Trivia night so a couple checked out Mikey's per a member's recommendation last weekend. They discussed expectations with Mikey's management. We were advise to come as early as possible, around 5:30. Our group leader made reservations for 9 July 22. Some arrived early while other had to work until 5:00. They were apparently prepared as they had tables pulled together to accommodate us. Their was a decent group attending Trivia, I'd speculate @ least 6-7 groups ranging in size from 3 to 8. The good: waitress/servers were friendly & efficient, capturing individual names when placing orders so the checks were customized per individual. Concerns: I would suspect it would be easier on the kitchen to take orders as people arrived. Additional, set the table for the anticipated group. However, they didn't take our order until everyone arrived. They were out of one of the things a party in our wanted so that caused a bit of a delay. Since it was busy, it took quite a bit of time to get just water. It might make their job easier if they just brought water as people are seated? Instead of waiting for at least 2 people in our group to comment they were parched. Delivery of dinners was sporadic. A few dinners were delivered without silverware & getting the servers' attention was not possible so the food got cold. Makes it had to determine how good the food was if it was intended to be warm but you can't eat in until it's cold. Little follow up was offered (again, the staff was pleasant but over worked). The Trivia was good, though a little hard to hear everyone's input at our table since it was so busy (good for Mikey's, not a dis). I suppose one of things that disappointed the most was closing out the tab. As previously insinuated, getting silverware was delayed. As was 'to go' boxes. When we finally got our checks, they added the wrong wine on mine but I'm guessing all the white wines were the same price. (BTW: I didn't see wine on their menu but I wasn't initially looking). I didn't let them know I have the wrong wine identified because I was impatient waiting for the check. After immediately receiving my bill, I provided my credit card for my check, I waited another 10 minutes before approaching the waitress at the register....asking for to go container & check. We're looking at Crown & Anchor to see if we can have a better Trivia experience. This review is truly to let Mikey's know what they can easily modify to correct their service: -have table(s) set with silverware/water, condiments -have someone dedicated to provide invoices, take payments, provide to go containers, (it seemed very much like who ever is available). I didn't get the sense there were table 'sections'. Because I had ordered eggs, I can't really comment on the quality of the food since it was at least 15 minutes between being delivered to our table & when I had silverware. I had also ordered rye toast that came separately. When delivered, I was told they'd bring butter-never came. I think they have a really good potential but if they're trying to bring in dinners for special activities (ie: trivia, etc.), they need to step it up. read more

The prices shown here on YELP are not correct. Please look at the menu for real prices. the actual menu is shown in the photos. They also do bingo fundraisers - you can be the caller or ask them for Elvis to be the caller! Mikeys has the bingo cards and you provide the prizes and the people. We run them during lunch or dinner so Mikeys gets business out of it, but it can be very profitable for your company as you keep the money paid by the bingo players. read more

I stopped in here at around 4 PM last Thursday having needed to use the restroom and intending to purchase a sandwich afterwards. The owners were extremely hostile and rude for absolutely no reason, really turned me off to the point that I just left without purchasing anything as I didn't want to give them my business. For some reason, they took offense to my politely asking if I could use the bathroom. Really odd, strange, and needlessly hostile people (the woman particularly). read more
