My wife and I came here for dinner to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We both got the filets. She got hers with a baked potato and I got mine with the twice baked potato casserole. They were delicious. The service of our waitress was superb. The ambiance was nice and casual. We'll definitely go back! read more

I was there last night with my friend celebrating her birthday, we both ordered dozen each of raw oysters and Hot shrimp and crab dip with chips, it was delicious and the oysters are very fresh and sweet, we are so full that we can't even eat the delicious bread with butter, the finale, The Big Mike's 24oz Ribeye my favorite! Service is fast our server is very attentive and ambience, you can't beat that! It's like heaven. I don't mind driving 1 hr. And 20 minutes just to get there for this sumptuous meal. I will be back for more... read more

3.5/5 My visit to Big Mike's was in September to celebrate my Dad's birthday. They are in a nice location (City Harbor) with seating inside and out. The food wasn't seasoned to my liking, however, there were several tables who looked more than pleased with their selections. Quality was great, portions were a nice size, service was friendly. I can't remember what my family ordered but I ordered the featured fish and the ribeye with a baked potato and Caesar salad. The likelihood of me trying them again is very slim because I don't live in the area. I don't regret going and I do encourage others to try them out. Parking is plentiful and you can walk around and explore some of the other businesses in the area or sit by the water. read more

This was our first time eating at Big Mikes. Upon entering the restaurant was extremely smokey. We later found out the vent hood had malfunction allowing the restaurant to fill with smoke. Luckily we were the last party to be seated before they decided to close. The food was pretty good. I didn't care for the crab/shrimp dip. The cheese was too thick and I really think they brought us the wrong dish anyway. I didn't see any crab or shrimp, it appeared to be steak. The server assured us it was the seafood dip. The steak had a good flavor but wasn't very tender (cooked medium rare) read more

I want to preface with this is a difficult review because when you put the service aside the food was great. We waited an hour and forty minutes for a table, which wasn't a big deal, we were told 2 hours up front. However, the problem came when we were seated (about 7:35PM) It took about 10 minutes for anyone to come to our table for drink orders. Once our waitress came she took our drinks and appetizer orders. We had the shrimp and crab dip, which didn't take too long to come out, it was very good. We both ordered steaks for our meals (around 7:45). After an hour we were told by the waitress that she was sorry it was taking so long that she didn't put the order in as soon as she should have. Well, at 9:05PM we finally received our food. In my opinion an hour and a half is unacceptable in any situation. Especially when we ordered as soon as we were given the opportunity. Now, the food was very good. Based on food alone I'd give it an easy 5 star. I don't want to hide that, great food. It does bother me a lot though that the only thing we were offered was free dessert. We had to ask them to just take our appetizer off instead since we didn't want dessert. Personally, this seems like a half off meal situation. It seems wrong to pay more than $100 for a meal that you waited overall 3 hours for counting the wait time outside. I hope this location improves their service, because we enjoy the food. read more

Besides the hostess , we had a great experience at Big Mike's Steakhouse. When we entered the establishment, the hostess immediately asked "how many?" She didn't smile.. she didn't greet us. Her tone was unfriendly. She sat us down and didn't let us know who would be serving us. Maybe she was just having a day. Besides this unpleasant situation, we were immediately greeted by our awesome waitress (drawing a blank on her name, but that day she worked outside). She was super friendly, patient, and very attentive. She had quite a few tables, but despite this, we didn't have to ask for anything besides to go boxes. Now that's great service! We ended up splitting the 'Big Mike' steak with baked potatoes and side salads. We also ordered sautéed crab claws. Omg!! Both dishes were so delicious. Each dish was well prepared and seasoned...served hot. For the food alone, I would definitely come back and visit but our waitress was just the 'cherrt on top.' read more

Went here vacationing in Guntersville. The city harbor location is beautiful with panoramic views. We had a broad selection. Appetizers filet bites and wickles fired pickles. Both were loved by all. Hubs had the big Mike and I had the top sirloin. The steaks were cooked to proper or for medium and medium rare. Chicken salad looked good as well. Son loved their fried chicken tenders which were huge. Honestly we probably won't get their steaks again. They were good but mine was heavily marinated or seemed that way. The hubs and I both elected we would probably get an order of steak bites with a side salad next time. Our server (Gabby) was excellent throughout our meal. Husband had an old fashioned but said he would pass on it next time. read more

I can't think of a better dinner. My filet was outstanding, high-quality meat and perfectly cooked. Surrounded by a gorgeous lake, harbor on one side, lake view, terrace, and boardwalk on the other. Bartender was no nonsense and knew what she was doing. read more

Food just ok but the restrooms are near unbearable Waitress was very good but getting our food out was very slow with only a few people in the place. Sad because this is a really nice location. Come on BIG MIKES step it up! read more

The steaks were wonderful and the center cut pork chops were delicious and cooked perfectly . Service was excellent

What could be improved?Parking, for one. This place has limited parking for the number of venues available. Only 5 handicapped spots and all were full. Design of the structure provides no shade or shelter for inclement weather. Our mistake was trying to enjoy dinner on a Saturday at 5:30 pm. The staff said the wait was 1:45 minutes. Why bother?! Perhaps a valet parking arrangement would alleviate this issue. Also, it seems that understaffing is an issue. We viewed empty tables. Pay more to staff to get full employment. read more

Very nice new place. Good food. Great local. Service was excellent. Be early or expect a wait on weekend nights

Order fires, mozzarella sticks and onion straws to go. Was told it would be 10 minutes and didn't get order until after 20 minutes. Mozzarella was cooked out of sticks and got cocktail sauce instead of mozzarella sauce. Dont order here read more

We lucked out and were able to get the last outdoor table overlooking the lake. It was a beautiful day which made the meal 5x better. But really, the food was great - we enjoyed the fried crab claws so much we ordered it twice! Their house Bavarian bread was amazing! Everyone in our party enjoyed their dinner. Great price point for the amount of food we got. Our server was very busy but she did a great job balancing the outdoor tables. The only downside was that we were so full we didn't get to try their desserts! read more

Really nice setting on the water. Steaks were good. Cooked right. Just straight up good steaks.

Long waits for lackluster food and so-so service!!!! Cannot recommend! The view of the Lake Guntersville is ok!

1 hour wait in a Saturday night. Nice surroundings. Excellent fried pickles and bread. Steak was just ok - not worth the wait.

The restaurant was in a beautiful location. We had great service, but the food was average. The shrimp appetizer was ok, a nod to "bang bang shrimp" but not nearly as well coated in sauce, just kinda drizzled on top. I ordered the gumbo which was the soup of the day, not good at all. I ate a few bites to give it a chance. The rice was crunchy and dried out somewhat. The steak was ok. Not $60 worthy by any means. I will stick to my tried and true in the area to try somewhere else when I'm back in Guntersville. read more

Food was really good and unique. The view is great. I would recommend Big Mikes Steakhouse.

Great New Year's Eve dinner here. Food was great, "you must try the pork chops" service was friendly and fast. Overall great experience!! read more

The meal starts with bread that taste like dirt. I asked for a medium rare Ribeye. I got medium, the steak tasted like a dirty grill. No real seasons on the steak. Best part of the meal was the salad. read more

Food was great very pricey, the server done a good job she was super nice. Probably will be back

Arrived to a busy restaurant but was seated outside quickly. I really enjoyed having a beautiful view of the water with the meal. My margarita was tasty. Appetizer of cheese sticks were delicious. Entree of The Big Mike Steak w/loaded baked potato was amazing. Our waitress was quick and very sweet. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to eat in Guntersville, AL. read more

Came here while on vacation. Came in right after 4 and were seated right away. The waitress came within a couple minutes and took our drink order. We ordered the large ribeye to share, the soup of the day, onion straws (very good), Cajun rice, baked potato and broccoli. Didn't care for the soup or the broccoli (overcooked) but everything else was very good. Only minor suggestions would be a better trim on the ribeye (large area of fat) and the waitress never cleared dirty plates. We would definitely come back when in the area. read more

We are new to the area and everybody told us Big Mike's is THE place. So we went on a Thursday afternoon as soon as they opened. We started with the fried mushrooms and they were hot and delicious. The bread with the cinnamon butter was really good. My wife had the red fish, bronzed with the potato casserole. I had the pork prime rib with a baked potato. My wife's fish was hot and really spicy. Sadly the potato casserole was cold. My pork was over seasoned and very spicy. The baked potato was hot and very good. We had ample leftovers but didn't take any home. We had two glasses of house wine, a red and a white, neither was very good. Our waitress was very sweet and did a good job of taking care of us. I have to say at 91.00 plus tip we expected a better meal. read more

Food was on point!! My steak was cooked perfectly!! Service was great as well. Had the sirloin and was not disappointed with the taste and great side dishes. Would do sure go back!! read more

Burger was raw. The other burger didn't even come with all the stuff we were "uncharged" for. A $20 burger should be better. At this point, a chain has a better burger. The prices do not match the quality of food or the service. read more

Great experience!!! If you are looking for a great steak on the Alabama Coast, this is where you should go. Big Mike's does not take reservations or have a waiting list so I suggest you get there early if you do not want to wait in line. However, the wait will be well worth it. My wife and I ordered the 24 ounce Ribeye and shared it and with a very reasonable up charge you can order your choice of 2 sides each. The steak was perfectly cooked (med. rare) and the service was excellent. We will definitely be making a return visit when we are back in the area. read more

I've had my share of ribeyes, but this particular ribeye hits a little different from all the other steakhouses I've been to. The flavor was excellent. This steak had a nice size cap on the end that was full of flavor, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The service was great. I was able to get my food within 10 to 15 minutes after I ordered, which is almost unheard of these days. I'm usually not a bread eater, but that brown bread and that sweet butter it came with nearly put me in a coma. My only complaint is I had to stand in line for nearly 45 minutes before they opened, but that just goes to show how popular this restaurant is. read more

Always a great meal, with excellent service. With a sometimes lengthy wait, the atmosphere of the City Harbor is a welcome distraction, having a few stores and other things to help pass the time. I've always enjoyed their steaks, filet and ribeye have been delicious and they're always properly cooked to order. read more

First time visiting and the food and drinks were awesome! My ribeye steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My fiancé's filet was delicious and like butter. The service was great as well. I will definitely be returning. read more

Disappointed. Expected the steak to be more tender. Too much seasoning. Waitress rushed us -was certainly not worth the 18$ tip. This was a big anniversary for us and it was not as good as we anticipated. In the area for an anniversary vacation and came across this restaurant. Won't be going back. The best part of the meal was the lemon drop martini and asparagus. read more
