Classic place owned by a local and legendary for food and service. The breakfast specials are unreal. Everything is made perfectly. In 30 years, I'm not sure I've known anyone with even a mediocre meal here. Give these people your money. I usually get the regular Benedict they have here, but the lunch reuben is excellent. And for all that is holy, DON'T STEAL THE MENUS! read more

Great location, huge menu and neat atmosphere. Service is quick and friendly and their vegetarian options are Awesome! But I love their Gyro best read more

Great service with good breakfast deals (hour dependent). Breakfast quality was good or average, but definitely way better than those chain restaurants offering breakfast. We were all pleased with our selections. Loved the unique creative decor. Mike may the force be with you and please for your own good keep your wife on the side of the light - not the dark side. read more

Came in and was greeted by amazing staff. I ordered a BBQ brisket Mac n cheese burrito... and let me tell you.. one of the best things I've put in my mouth. They have anything you could think of food wise. I am definitely coming back! Plus the waiter was funny and very outgoing, which made our time even more enjoyable! :) The inside and outside of the building is AMAZING and is very fun to look at. 100% recommend anyone to go and eat there! And take a picture of the x-wing star fighter in the front! read more

Not a fan of their food. Regular waitresses have been very r use and all around awful but the bartenders that serve aren't too bad their food just isn't it read more

Such a fun spot to visit! The menu is HUGE. AND FUNNY. the place is so unique with cool themed areas to dine in. Menu is diner/fun college food but good-bad-for you grub and great portions for the prices. Wish they had gluten free anything - but they don't... now, I was having fun checking out all the books I forgot to take pictures of the food... aside from my side salad. The white Dressing they make in house is AMAZING! read more

Megan B. was our waitress. good employees are good advertising! our dinner was excellent ! and Megan B service made good food , taste even better !! thanks Megan ! for your friendly , fun and professional service ! we will be back!!! read more

The food was ok. My eggs were made to perfection. The bacon and toast was a little over cooked. My partners food Scrambled eggs, hash browns sausage links and French toast was perfect. Our waitress was great. She was on top of everything. The room we were in was to the right when we walked in. It has 6 booths in it. The music is too loud. It's like everyone is talking so loud so they can be heard but everyone else can hear them also. read more

The atmosphere is awesome, huge variety of meals w unique names ( half the fun). The only disappointment was patio closed for season & it's the first week of October 2024 read more

This place is worth the drive! Relaxing atmosphere fans so much fun!!!!!! Unique menu items! Come hungry cause portions are huge. It's good to sit in the bar here if you are a sports fan! You can watch games while eating and drinking! If recommend the Dragon Slayer drink unless you are into beer. Lots of beer choices here. Back to the food.....everything delicious! There is something for everyone here! I've never been to a restaurant where there are so many food choices. My Aristotle Greek Salad was delicious and filling. Good ratio of salad ingredients to gyro meet. My family enjoyed their menu choices too! Crab cakes were good and moist--not dry. The meatball sub was delicious and meatballs were a good size. We got some of the peanut butter pie to go. Had it before and it's delicious! Got it to go because full from the dinner sized portions here. When you come here, take a little time to look around. So many fun things to see. Come hungry too......very generous portion sizes! read more

I don't care if you don't live anywhere near here, you should drive here just to eat at Mike's. We're from Chicago and love new food- and Mike's should open in every city, beginning with Chicago. First, everyone here is sooo nice. Second, the food is AMAZING. We ordered as soon as we got into the hotel and the menu was overwhelming (in a good way). They make everything but also it's with a twist- a really really tasty one. We had the fried ravioli and it was outstanding. Creamy inside. Crispy and seasoned on the outside. We also ordered the ribs with green beans and Mac n cheese. Everything was perfect. Ribs were tender. Green beans tasted fresh and more southern. The Mac in cheese was homemade and creamy and cooked perfectly. The brisket sandwich was awesome. It's huge. Expect to eat twice with anything you order. And regardless of how full you are, leave with cheesecake and the peanut butter pie. Both were big enough for two pieces each and I don't like peanut butter pie but I do now. It's my new favorite thing. It tastes just like a Reese's peanut butter cup but with a crust that I never knew a peanut butter cup needed but it does. The cheesecake is dense and just a damn good cheesecake. We are so full and have more food left over than will fit in the hotel fridge but we're still getting up early to go have breakfast at Mike's before we leave town. read more

I was here with a party of 17 minus ten after my buddy Pasi graduated from Kent this weekend with his master's in international pickle spearing. Mike's Place caught my attention with its overly-quirky decor and outlandish furnishings, so I figured why not make my curious eyes feel at home and stare away. I ordered the Rolando's Magic BBQ Melt, and this sandwich was an absolute monster. Three layers of pulled pork, sourdough bread, onion rings, pepper Jack cheese and FRIES. Tons of fries everywhere! What an absolute sinner of a sandwich. I placed it under arrest for the heart attack it would eventually give me. The pickle tasted just fine too. I couldn't get enough of anything on this plate, and I got to dine in the bus too. I'll be back when I'm 87 in the nursing home begging Rolando to get me the mannequin's phone number. read more

Came in for lunch on a Friday. Driven past this place dozens of times, but never stopped in. Place gets 5 stars for character and service! Food was good, just not great. Ordered the breaded haddock fish sandwich. Came with lettuce, cheese, tarter and Cole slaw. The sandwich was huge and plenty cheesie. Roll was nicely toasted. Tarter and Cole slaw appeared home made. Both were very good, too. Service was very quick, as was the check. Nice find. read more

What an INCREDIBLE MEAL and the waitress was too. The Monster Bloody Mary was an outstanding way to start our feast.

This was my first visit, the whole experience was amazing. The decor was so cool, it was literally covering the entire place, every wall, from top to bottom. The food was really good, the waitress was very attentive. The menu itself was very entertaining. I will definitely be going back sooner rather than later. read more

Very unique place to grab a bite! We love coming up for their breakfast but just saying their menu is large would be an understatement. Fun place with unique places to sit. I highly recommend the college Cappuccino for breakfast. It's a tasty alcoholic shake! read more

Great place with delicious food. Lots of things to see inside. Even the menu is huge and has funny banter. Highly recommend eating here.

The place was decked out with some awesome decorations and it keeps your eyes busy for a while. You're going appreciate that when waiting for Service, even though they were super swamped it sucks. Got there just before noon didn't get out of there until 1:15pm and we had places to be. Told our server that and we need the check waited another 15mins for him to get it. Food was fantastic! read more

I am unsure if I can come back to this place anytime soon. I'm so disappointed with the sandwich I ordered. I ordered a Jelly Rodger. What I got was such a disgrace I ended up taking the burger and recreating it at home. It was supposed to be on sourdough. They put it on rye. Instead of telling me they didn't have sourdough and letting me choose some other bread or another dish, they took it upon themselves to put it on rye. I fucking hate rye. Rye is the worst. They put bacon bits on my burger instead of strips. Really? No jelly and so much cheese that anyone who ate it would be constipated instantly. There was no balance in flavors. Nothing like it used to be. This was a horrible hot mess. No one wore masks. No one distanced themselves. I did not observe cleaning of anything. I will not be going back anytime soon. Like many, many months. read more

The place is fun with an extensive menu! Fairly priced The servers are at time so busy they don't engage with customers read more

Food was really good almost too many options. The decor is wild and all over the place. Went with friends on the bike it was busy but we were seated fast. Very cool place to stop with family or friends. They have motorcycle parking also which is a plus. read more

It only took me 5 years to finally try this place. What an interesting interior. You can eat in many different options like a bus for example. I didn't know anything about it other than it's interesting exterior. Went in thinking breakfast but ended up getting lunch special. Glad I did. The cheese burger sliders were delicious. And sort of ridiculously cheap. There was so much to eat I had a second meal to take home that tasted just as good the second and 3rd time reheating. Apparently this place is known for its wings. I'll be returning to try next time and bring more family to enjoy with. read more

Cold food. Waited 10 minutes before anyone came to our table. I don't get the hype about this place? The food was not good at all.

Rude employee answered phone: "Yes, we're open. No specials today." Because Martin Luther King is a "holiday". Even though many places consider this a lesser holiday by staying open, I guess they don't want to give hard working folks a break if they were lucky enough to be off today. So we went to Bob Evans' who have good specials every day. Also, they need to cut down their menu. It's overwhelming. Other than that, it's a decent place. read more

You can never go wrong here! The menu is enormous! There is literally something for everyone. Sometimes that's the problem there is SO much much you can't just order one thing lol. The service is usually good we have gone a couple times when the servers were less than friendly but didn't mess up our time. The restaurant decor is great! Some stuff is very random but always fun! read more

I just wanna start off by saying this place is amazing!!! The atmosphere is the coolest thing you will ever see. The owner went all out decorating the restaurant and every time you come in and you will find something new if you don't believe me try it out! There is hundreds of options on the menu that you can order and they have an amazing bar. read more

This was our first visit. Food was fantastic, we had chicken parm, buffalo chicken wrap, pretzel bites, chips and queso and salad. Atmosphere is very chill and there's enough to keep you happy and entertained while waiting for your food (which was served rather quickly). So much to look at and enjoy. The menu is rather large but something for everyone, even my pickiest child! Our waitress, Maggie, was a sweetheart. She answered any questions and was on the ball with refills, boxes and anything else we needed. We traveled about an hour and a half to get here and are already looking forward to coming again. Thank you all for a great and memorable meal! read more

Can't go wrong with Mike's Place. Great food at a fair price. And the Star Wars meets the tropics theme is super fun!

we headed northeast to Akron/ Kent Ohio to check out mike's place! First off who wouldn't want to check out a restaurant that has a Star Wars X-Wing fighter jet out front? Seen lots of post about this place before, so I thought I would check it out. The place is a Visual delight to the eye with so much to look at and pictures and signs to read. Then we were seated. Our waitress Stacie was super friendly and told us as first timers what to focus on, there menu is 6 full pages long and filled with Imaginative culinary delights. This is a fun restaurant where they take the food seriously, from the housemade dressing to cinnamon rolls to so many delicious items. My wife chose the four sliders with cheese and onions and thousand island. I chose the mad Hungarian, it was philly steak meat with ham and provolone cheese and grilled onions and they said kick it up by adding coleslaw so I did. full sandwich is in the picture. then I cut into thirds, to eat and added fries. I told the waitress that I am a chef, and she said so was her son. She brought us a side salad on the house so I could try their housemade dressings. A good Bleu cheese, a really good garlic ranch and great( our favorite) white French! So tasty. The mad Hungarian was amazing!! It was a great blend of flavor and so filling! Wow! Stacie said they are known for there Ruebens! I can't wait to go back to try other great sandwiches and combos! The place is always packed and also a wait but it is a fairly large place that the line moves fast! If you find yourself in Kent Ohio close to Akron you should stop by and eat your way through the menu. read more
