Had the Philly steak. Absolutely delicious. Cheese curds are very flavorful! Even the fries were great! Josie was our server and she was super fun and very pleasant! This was our first time here and we will definately be back!

The food was good. It's better than a typical pub offering. Kelly Joe, our waitress was great. Pricing was what you'd expect. 2 appetizers, 3 dinners, 2 alcoholic drinks, 2 desserts, about 100, 3/24. We were in town for a funeral. We went here 40 years ago when it was the Penn Grill. Nice memory, and an improved dining. experience.

Daily specials are ALWAYS fresh! I hate fish but their swordfish bites are heavenly!! Only place around to get gator tail! Original menu is just as good with improvisations made to suit your taste!! Wait is a bit long sometimes but with the best place in town it's expected!!

Every time I go to lunch or dinner at Mikes it’s always delicious! I’ve tried many menu items and nothing has disappointed. The staff are awesome and always treat you like family. Wait times are rarely an issue and food is brought out quick. They have daily lunch and dinner specials that can be found on their Facebook page everyday. Mikes is a must stop if you are in town and looking for good food at a very fair price. Highly recommend!

Unassuming restaurant on the corner with great food and even better service. I got the 10oz Ribeye cooked to a perfect med-rare with broccoli and brussels. I was honestly skeptical walking into the place, even more so when the steak came out. Ribeye isn’t typically served with au jus, but I was practically drinking it by the end. I thought the orange slice and single leaf of spinach was kind of funny. In the end the steak was amazing so I don’t care about the presentation. Where else can you get a 10oz ribeye with two sides for 20??? Josie was super friendly and so was the bar-back.

Wow! All I can say is wow. This was our first time stopping at Mike’s Penn Ave Grill! First of all, Wednesday’s specials include .50 wings, 21 dollar combo house cut steak dinners, and awesome beers. Also all seafood is next day flown in! The food is beyond excellent. The setting is very intimate and cheerful! Our server was Hannah, and she was very sweet and accommodating. The owner’s wife is very sweet but I didn’t catch her name… anyway, visit Mike’s!
