Great cheesesteaks and people! We stopped in for a quick lunch after the PEZ Visitor Center and really enjoyed the food. We got a buffalo chicken cheesesteak, which was ok (my bad for ordering the liquid cheddar on it instead of suggested pepper jack), the chipotle cheesesteak, which was great and an OG cheesesteak, which was excellent. Very tasty fries too. The guy we ordered from was really nice and patient - and guided us through the menu. Such a nice family owned business. Can't recommend enough for lunch! read more

Just tried for the first time. I am completely satisfied with my order. The bread was soft not soggy at all. The meat and vegetables were tender and moist. All around a great sandwich/grinder. Will be back definitely! read more

This is one of our favorite sandwich shops. My son loves the Big Mac cheesesteak. However, today must have been an off day. It took 40 minutes to get our order and the sandwiches weren't the same. The Big Mac didn't have any of the fixings it normally does and my son was disappointed. We had already gotten home when we realized it. There was only one cook and one person taking the orders. There were about 5-6 customers waiting for their orders. Usually the service is reasonably quick, never more than a 15 min wait for sandwiches. read more

Mad Mike's is a guilty pleasure for me & try as I might to have self control, Mad Mike's gets my business more frequently than they should. First off, their Cheesesteaks are huge & loaded with mouthwatering additions that make one of their special sandwiches special. Sandwiches can also be made to order & are served quickly. Everyone behind the counter at Mike's is friendly & easy going. Other than a few tables sharing space with the beverage fridge, this very clean restaurant's basically a takeout joint with no ambience to speak of. read more

BEST place around to get your money's worth for a juicy Philly cheesesteak! They also offer other sandwiches and delicious salads! When we went the soda machine was down but no biggie, they have Snapple, craft sodas including Dr. brown's and Foxon Park - better than any fountain soda if you ask me!! They have a few tables for dinning in and the staff was super accommodating for my 97 year old grandma, answering any questions we had as well as bringing extra silverware and napkins to make it easier for my grandmother to enjoy her lunch. A small little spot with big flavor! I love supporting small businesses, especially those who truly strive to reach their customers with complete care and courteousness. Hats off to you guys as I will be recommending you to all our family and friends looking for a delicious quick bite to eat! read more

Always a great steak sub. Best cheesesteak outside of Philadelphia. Locally owned and operated. My team loves a lunch from Mad Mikes.

I've been craving a good tuna sub and was in the area, I've heard about Mad Mike's from Facebook, so I decided to stop in. Got my sub made just how I wanted and took it to go. Very yummy, hit the spot! Great for lunch on the run. I'll be back again to try the tots and a cheesesteak read more

As a trained professional, commitment to my craft requires careful examination of cheese steaks along my travel routes. Mad Mike's did not disappoint. Tucked back in a duplex with a hair salon, Mad Mike's provides a no-frills experience that emphasizes the the yum! I enjoyed a steak bomb the other day. Hot, cheesy deliciousness with a balance of mushrooms, peppers and steak. I sat inside and the sandwich was almost too hot to eat when it arrived. The meal was balanced with chips and a foxon park. Total bill, nearly $20! A few observations: some seats, not many, mostly deuces. Not dirty, but needs a deep clean. Strange parking arrangement. Perfect portion size subs. Price on menu was the price charged. Will return for sure! read more

This spot is a hidden Gem truly. It truly rivals the other competitors sandwich spots. The menu was very extensive and the service was awesome and it is a casual ambiance. The staff were very friendly and helpful with options for the 1st time. It's a stand alone restaurant so you have to pay attention so you don't miss it. read more

One of the friendliest establishments I've been to! From walking in the front door I was greeted with warmth and friendly hello's. This isn't a chain so I know that wasn't in their orientation package. I ordered the bomb and a Mac steak, which came out in a jiffy and PIPING HOT!! They were delicious! This was the closest to what I was looking for. Sure the place could use some cosmetic love, but the food stands on its own. Bathrooms were clean. And above all, some of the friendliest folks in CT. Can't wait to come back. read more

Great spot for cheesesteaks especially at lunch where they have a fries, drink + sandwich combo for $15. Great customer service and cute place to stop by for lunch:) read more

This place is great! Don't be fooled when you drive past this place on the post rd. Their sandwiches are flavored very well and are juicy! The staff are friendly. Will answer any questions you have about the menu. The environment is chill and laid back. I've dined in here and never had a bad experience. I just ordered through DoorDash yesterday and the food did not disappoint. I got the chicken cutlet pesto sandwich. Mouth watering pesto and fresh mozzarella with chicken cutlet! How could you turn it down? Their breads are also soft which I really like. I tried their garlic fries, which was really good! Everything is fairly priced. I'll order from here again soon! read more

Ive raved about their cheesesteaks before but man they should also open up a bakery. If you get lunch from here you need to also grab some dessert. Their brownies and chocolate chip cookies are to die for!!! read more

There steak bomb is a must try. The staff is very friendly too! They have great chicken options and salads as well. nice job Mad Mikes!! read more

The service was very good. Menu has a variety of choices. Prices are definitely reasonable. I got the Mike's Way with peppers and onions. This is basically how a normal cheesesteak should be made in my mind. I do not taste any seasonings added to the meat. There was not as much flavor to the meat as I would have liked. My husband got the bacon jalapeño and said the same. It was flavorful with the added vege's, cheese etc, however the steak flavor was lacking some. I am generally not in this area but I will stop here again to try one of their salads or a philly chicken. read more

Very good but you get a much better lunch combo deal in store than what is offered online.

Had an absolutely delicious BBQ steak sandwich, served nice and warm, with some delicious barbecue sauce on top. Served promptly. Courteous staff. Place is a winner read more

Mad Mikes has some of the best Cheesesteaks and pizza. We stopped months ago at one of the locations on our Baltimore trip. This location seem a lot more cleaner, and the neighborhood looks better. But anyways, we came to have a good time ,and explore Mad Mikes Cheeseteaks and salads. The salads are good too. Customer Service was good. WIll be back soon. read more

The best cheesesteaks outside of Philly!! These cheesesteaks are outrageous! The meat is very high quality and the bun/roll is delicious! I'd love to know where they get this bread. The Steak Bomb has a bit of a kick to it with the hot peppers but it's absolutely delicious. Mike's Way with fried onions and American cheese is another favorite. The French fries are good (best when enjoyed in the restaurant since they do get a little soggy with take out). The buffalo tenders are also spot on! They too are definitely on the spicy side in a very good way! I highly recommend Mad Mike's to anyone who appreciates a solid cheesesteak! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

They charge different prices than what is on the menu, when I asked they said we changed the prices months ago but never changed our sign. They were more concerned with watching their kids than the customers, with playpens and trash all around. Wouldn't recommend as you should never charge a different price from what is listed. read more

I've been craving for a good steak & cheese for quite some time. I came across Mad Mike's and based upon the reveiws, I was eager to visit this establish ment. My Queen accompanied me on this mission & needless to say we were extremely happy patrons. I ordered the steak & cheese without the extra cheese ( don't judge me), and it was the best ever!!! Nice portion of meat but the bread was soft and not soggy from the meat or cheese. The tater tots were good also, crispy and wasn't overcooked. Looking forward to returning as soon as possible!!! read more

The best cheesesteaks in CT probably? I mean if someone has another recommendation please, by all means send me a message. This place is unreal. The quality of their cheesesteaks is UNMATCHED. Don't come here because I want it all for myself thanks. read more

Let me start by saying, hands down, the best cheesesteak I've had in Connecticut thus far. My wife and I visited Mad Mike's when we went to Connecticut this weekend. The service was absolutely stellar, the establishment was clean and appealing. Now, first the bad...the french fries had a bumpy texture to them. For the life of me, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO GET FRENCH FRIES RIGHT! DO NOT BATTER THEM!!! You can tell that they have been adulterated even when they're frozen! Don't by from wholesalers who sell french fries that are not ABSOLUTEY SMOOTH ALL OVER! PERIOD! Regular fries like Five Guys or even White Castle french fries have a smooth texture and can yet STILL be crispy and creamy AT THE SAME TIME. Whatever desecration restaurants are performing on potatoes leave them bumpy and chewy, EVEN IF THEYRE HOT! Trust me, if you don't want your cheeseburger or cheesesteak game jacked up, DO NOT GET THE FRIES (from this or any other establishment that have this sacrilegious practice). Now for the ABSOLUTE GOODNESS! I purchased the Mike's Way cheesesteak (steak with grilled onions and extra American cheese), but I got extra meat, bacon, and diced raw Vidalia onion, topped with ketchup and mustard). I opened its wrapping in the car just to see what I would be in store for later. My heart skipped 3 beats! When I did eat it a couple of hours later, I heated it for about 2 minutes in the air fryer which gave the bread a slight toasting, yet still left it soft. Then I microwaved it for about 1 minute. It tasted like it was cooked in Heaven and personally delivered to me by an angel. I gave them 5 stars IN SPITE of the french fry fiasco. Simply put, GET THIS if you love cheesesteaks like I do. You will not be sorry! read more

If I could I would rate this mom and Pop place a 12 out of 10. People were super friendly and helpful. The joint was soo clean! The food was so hot I almost burnt my mouth. I liked that though! Often time so many places don't serve their food hot! The meat was excellent, cheese sauce was even better! Quality of ingredients was superb! There were so many things on the menu I wish I could try! I will have to come back. If you want to support local this is the place to go to! read more

The the food at Mikes is awesome my favorite is Steak and cheese Mikes way and if you add grilled onions and some Big Mac sauce. OMG. And don't forget som steak and cheese egg rolls. Those are off the chain. The service is as friendly as it can get and the ambience is like a burger joint. read more

Had dinner here tonight, I have been here one other time as well. Both times were very good. I have tried the chicken chipotle sandwich which was good but it could have used a bit more meat, very tasty though. Tonight I had the steak bomb and the cheesesteak egg rolls. Both were very good. The egg rolls come with a horseradish dip that is nice and not too spicy. It's a good size to split between 2 people. The steak bomb sandwich is really good and I suspect is the star of this show. Servings are quite generous here although not ridiculous. Very tasty food altogether. Parking can be tricky behind the building but isn't bad unless it's very busy. Great family run establishment. I'd recommend trying it out. read more

Awesome sandwiches! Had the chipotle chicken sandwich twice. What I enjoyed was the flavor profile and the nice blending of the chipotle chicken with the house made chipotle aioli and fresh avacodo. The chicken is shredded and not chunky and the bread is always fresh. Unlike other sandwich places where you get raw or partly grilled vegetables stuffed in bread, at Mad Mike's you will get a flavorful bite every time. While waiting for the sandwich, I also read about Mad Mike's story covered by the local news and posted on the wall of the restaurant. It is inspiring to see Mike and his partner make the best out of the situation and opened this place during the pandemic. If you are in the mood for a delicious sandwich and want to help out a young local family with kids, I strongly recommend this place! read more

1:30 on a Saturday and the business hours say they are open and so does their Facebook but no one answers the phone and the doors are locked. Don't make plans to come here for lunch or for takeout because this has happened before and when they're supposed to be open they aren't! Bad business move read more

The cheesesteaks here are arguably the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. The cheesesteaks and the ingredients always tastes fresh, hot, and flavorful. The owner and staff are also super friendly and helpful with your order and questions as well!. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious cheesesteak and great service. read more

Excellent place to get a cheesesteak. I used to have to go all the way to Hamden (to that other old cheesesteak place) or ALL the way to Philly to get a "proper" one! Love to have it "Mikes Way" with extra American cheese and sautéed onions. It's been consistently fresh, cheesy, packed each time. Good quality bread too. I have only ordered take out and have never had any issues. Looking forward to trying other items very soon. My only problem is that they close up too early! read more

Absolutely delicious ! Was in the area today and came across Mad Mike's. I got a chipotle chicken sandwich (with avocado) and my dad got a steak and cheese. Both were so tasty and flavorful! Don't drive by this one!! read more
