The Good - the seasoning on the fried shrimp was AWESOME. Would come back just for that - they were fantastic. The gyro my buddy got also was good - he said he would order it again. Also, the guy at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The "Meh" - the fries were just okay. But my buddy liked them - I thought they would have similar seasoning to the chicken or shrimp. The service took a little bit longer that I anticipated - I thought it would be more of a fast food feel, but to dine in, we needed at least 30 minutes. That's not bad - I just assumed (wrongly) it was more of a casual, fast feel. Would come back again! read more

Mikes fish and chicken We had a hankering for fish and Mike's Fish and Chicken in Florence Ky popped up. It had very good reviews... We arrived at the restaurant and the young lady working was pleasant and friendly. We asked her what her favorites were and she said everything was good, some days she has the fish and others the chicken. She provided an extensive menu for our review. We took the menu and perused, decided to do one fish (cod) and one chicken tender meals with zucchini sticks. When the meals arrived the chicken looked good, the fish looked not so good. The cod was an off color best described as gray and was irregularly shaped ( looked more like perch). The fish was more breading and a bit greasy, definitely a fishy taste. The zucchini sticks were breading and mush ) very watery. The chicken was moist however the breading sloughed off when cutting and it had an off taste. The only things edible without comment were the fries and coleslaw. My wife and I both only consumed small bites of the food and decided it was not worth risking... should have followed our instincts and went elsewhere immediately. The menu is too extensive to be able to provide quality entrees. We stopped on the way home and picked up a pizza for lunch. Very disappointed, Mike's will not be on our list in the future. read more

Mike’s Fish and Chicken - Fried cod fish? - Fish & Chips Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Dine in. I really wanted this place to be good as it can be difficult to find good bone-in wings and catfish locally. However, this place is a swing and miss for myself. 1.6* I assume this place is a repurposed Chinese restaurant. It's exactly the same. But what is weird is it also has the similarities like off smells, bad lighting, garbage and signs all over the counter, outdated decor, and bad seating. I would have expected 5 Guys like vibes. This location needs work. I find the chicken wings and catfish very average, boring, and way over priced for what I got. The wings tasted of having little seasoning and dry. No special or homemade sauces. (The blue cheese was not good) Bland, soggy, and tasteless fries. The best aspect of this spot is the service. However, I came for the food! I was the only customer eating in at 6pm. read more

We were up in this area in a business meeting coming from Lexington Ky. and wanted to find a restaurant nearby and not a chain. I asked my phone find restaurants near me and am glad Mike's Fish and Chicken came up. It was quick and my fish dinner was excellent. I am glad I ordered the two piece dinner because the catfish pieces were really huge and tasty. My husband even ate part of my fish since I was full. He ordered a fish sandwich which came with fries. My dinner included fries and a small container of coleslaw which was excellent. This meal was great and hit the spot. read more

Mike’s Fish and Chicken - Catfish fillet dinner - Fish & Chips Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

My brother and I were on a road trip a few weeks back and came across Mike's when a different, nearby fried chicken place was not allowing inside dining. Walking into Mike's, one might get the impression that it is a fledgling business. It is very simple, very unassuming with a snack bar-"esque" vibe. We are not very uppity people when it comes to getting our grub on, so we were comfortable with giving it a go at satisfying our fried chicken cravings. We both ordered the chicken and fish combination, for which we both also selected the three deep fried whole chicken wings and two fried corn meal-battered catfish filets. The meal came with a large portion of fries and a small 2-3oz coleslaw side. And, as one might expect in a place like Mike's, the meal came served in styrofoam and plastic, as shown in the food pics for this business. Upon getting our food at our table, we were impressed by the size of the catfish filets. And, while we actually came in to settle our urges to eat fried chicken, the catfish ended up being the star of this show! The filets were large and piping hot. In fact, everything was so temperature hot, we had to give things a moment to cool down before we could really dive in. Once we did dive in, we were not disappointed in the least. Everything was tasty; the fried catfish was succulent and delicious! I actually regretted not ordering all catfish and, if I lived near Mike's, it would be the place to which i would sneak off while my wife's at work, just so I could more frequently scratch my catfish cravings itch! It was VERY good! Mike's was very clean from all appearances. The staff was friendly and attentive. And, there was no slime in the ice machine, which is always a major plus! I'm giving Mike's five stars, because when I do my Yelp* reviews and ratings, I do them using a "similar establishment" scale or standard, so that the business is considered fairly against its relative competition. And, on THAT note, I highly recommend a trip to Mike's for chicken and catfish, or catfish and catfish! Whatever you choose, I'm pretty sure you will not be disappointed with Mike's! Eat well. Be well. Cheers! read more

Very good food in a clean restaurant! I had the Philly cheesteak & fries, and it was probably the best I've had outside of Penn Station, locally. My wife had the gyro & enjoyed it, as well. read more

Mike’s Fish and Chicken - Soft drink & counter areas - Fish & Chips Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

First let me say that the flavor is good and that we will be back! Our fish was very overcooked and dry that we couldn't eat a decent portion of it. The fried pickles were shriveled up inside because of how over cooked they were. We asked for the catfish nuggets because my son LOVES catfish and when we got home he was completely heartbroken to see it was just chicken nuggets. Luckily my husband also got catfish so we were able to get him some. The fries could use more salt and seasoning. The lady taking our order was so kind and friendly. The wait wasn't very long. 10 minutes. Im going to give the benefit of the doubt and hope that this was just an off day for them today. I hope our next visit is better! read more

I really like their gyros and their catfish platters. It's always consistently good. They remind me of the catfish I used to eat when I was a child that my mother would cook. These are slightly a little more oily, but that's my only negative. read more

The menu is very eclectic. Some foods are great and some mediocre. I think that they need to focus on what they do well rather than trying to do everything. read more

This is a great spot for lunch. The owner is very friendly. There are a variety of options, with combos, platters, and meals. The gyros are very good, as are the burgers. read more

Decent enough, got a burger, milkshake was good but overpriced, 10.99 lunch deal is good deal, better burger than McDonald's. Wonder how good the Kebob, had the shawarma previously, really bad. read more

I and my husband just love this place. We mostly order the gyro platter or chicken wings and seriously they have the best gyro platter I ever ate! The food seems fresh every time. I would totally recommend them. read more

Fantastic food and even better environment. Do yourself a favor and try the fried cod - magnificent!! Also got the gyro and it was almost as good as the ones I've had in Greece. With it only being about 30 minutes from the Ark E read more

We were traveling and stopped for lunch at Mikes Fish and Chicken. Both my husband and I ordered the two piece fish dinner. Oh my, it was delicious! The fish was most definitely the star of the meal, lightly breaded and served piping hot. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked, and not a bit greasy. It was the best fried fish I have had in a long long time (maybe ever!). The service was friendly and efficient. It may not look fancy from the outside but don't let that deter you, the food was delicious. . read more

I had the fish and chicken combo. 2 Catfish and 3 wings with slaw and fries. My wife had the Philly steak sandwich with fries. We added the hush puppies and potato wedges to the meal. Everything was so good. They have a soda machine (Pepsi) and 2 standing coolers for an assortment of bottle drink's both Pepsi and Coke as well as power drinks. read more

One of my favorite places to get lunch for work. I go at-least once every couple weeks. The staff is always very friendly. The food is just as budget friendly as fast-food but with the quality of a sit down dinner. read more

Had the wings (breaded, full chicken wings, and they were excellent) and shrimp (small, more like popcorn shrimp). Served with generous helping of fries. We ordered takeout and it was a little soggy by the time we got home so I would recommend eating on site or in car. read more

Food is top notch here! Chicken is made fresh to order clean crisp service, made this my go to chicken sandwich spot

It is a pleasant experience every time I go, they have a good menu with everything cooked to order and its always fresh and delicious.

New, pretty clean. The floor needed swept, but they were busy. I had the cod dinner. The menu said dinners come with fries or Cole slaw. I didn't specify. I assumed I would get fries. I got both! The fries were fabulous. The Cole slaw is vinegar based so I wasn't a fan. But it was fresh and the cabbage was crispy. I was disappointed with the cod. It was mushy. It was breaded in corn meal, I think. I don't love corn meal, but I can handle it ok. But I didn't like that it was mushy. My husband had a chicken strips dinner. He requested Mac n cheese instead of fries. He got both! He liked the Mac n cheese. Again, the fries were awesome. And the chicken was really good. There was just a hint of spiciness in the breading. The bathrooms were clean. But hubby said the water wouldn't turn on in the men's room. I got him a wet, soapy paper towel from the women's restroom. They have fountain Pepsi drinks and bottled Coke. Overall it was good! We will go back. EDIT to add: my husband said the leftover chicken was really good cold. He didn't even warm it up this morning, just ate it right out of the box. read more

This place is one of my favorites in Covington and was so happy when I found out they opened a spot closer to home! Everything is FRESH! Chicken wings with that seasoning salt and lemon pepper! Burgers and Gyros are amazing. Pizza puffs remind us of Chicago. Check this spot out! read more

Be prepared to pay for all sauces etc with the wings. They do not include these with the prices of the order.
