One of our favorite places to stop every time we're in Chicago! I absolutely love the Salmon Philly, and my husband can never pass up the El Plaga Burger. Every visit is just as good as the last. The food is always fresh, the service is amazing, and they make you feel so welcome. Definitely a 10/10 from us--we'll be back! Have you been? What's your go-to order? read more

Went for the third time in a row today. Ate the same exact thing. No mild sauce. So now if I wanna go and return, I have to make sure there's mild sauce on my sandwich. Hmmmm read more

The turkey burger was the best I have had. It was juicy and tasty. I enjoyed the toasted bun and all the condiments. I will definitely be back. Delish. read more

The burger from here is pretty delish! They have a nice amount of burger options. You must get a milk shake. All of them are so yummy. The service is pretty good. The vibe is always pretty chill. I will to dine in sometimes also. read more

The burger was okay it could have been better. The service was decent. The ambiance was nice.

When I tell you! My sandwich was almost demolished before I got out of the parking lot you wouldn't believe me! The manager one of the twins made my Philly steak sandwhich with beyond meat as a substitute and it was made with love! The few vegan Options on the menu is what brought me to retro grill in Chicago on Stoney island and has made me a loyal future customer. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

Let's start with the shake oh my goodness the shake was so good. I had the banana vanilla shake and killed it before I got halfway home. Now! Let's get to those chicken wings with a hint of lemon pepper on them and their special sauce. I was purchasing the meal to eat for dinner and it was eaten immediately the moment I got home. Yummy, yummy, yummy. The service was quick and I got to meet one of the owners who was hands-on making sure the customers were satisfied. The ambience was nice. I was able to watch the basketball game while waiting for my meal... Delicioussssssssss... Both thumbs up. read more

Food was burnt black bean burger broke my teeth. The fries and fried pickles was salty and greasy it made me queasy I wasted $40 couldn't even finish half of this garbage read more

Listen! If you are used to eating fatty burgers, bacon and greasy fries, this is not the place for you! I wondered why the reviews weren't all great after eating here but I get why! It's fresh and cleaner fast-food eating than most are accustomed to, so they may have been accustomed to a different type of meal. I enjoyed everything about my lunch. What caught my eye was the Hebrew burger. Leviticus 11 in the bible all day lol , I didn't order it but I love that the diet I grew up eating is served here! It's fast food but better in options that suit me with plenty of vegan options, chicken, turkey bacon instead of pork bacon and salmon. We were stuck at the tire shop a few doors down from Mikkey's and we were really starving! We found Mikkey's and ordered 2 chicken Philly's online. The Philly sandwiches came with fries. Everything was delicious! The service was great I didn't get any rudeness or hostility. We tend to be harder on folks than we need to be! I hope to return! read more

I ordered a cheeseburger without onions and signature sauce. I didn't want the signature sauce because the woman at the register informed me that it was sweet. I'm not a fan of sweet sauces on meats. I also requested an up charge for the jerk fries instead of regular. Finally, I ordered the vanilla shake. Well, I'm not impressed by anything I ordered. My vanilla shake was not good, and mostly air. The cheeseburger was covered in the sweet signature sauce, making the bun and shredded lettuce inedible, which led me to rinse the tomato and pickles, and pat the burger dry. After salvaging what I could, I had a burger with tomato and pickles, then added ketchup and mayo. The reason for 2 stars is that the fries were not bad. It would have been nice if the woman informed me that having the fries jerk had onions. I didn't want onions on my burger, so maybe I don't want onions on my fries. Not worth the $22. read more

Mikkey's Retro Grill Stony Island - Receipt - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

They food is good but they are highly overpriced. We paid $50 for two burger meals a shake and onion rings. I bought the onion rings separately for $5 but was charged $7.75. I told the lady that tax didn't sound right and she stated "This Chicago". She didn't provide a receipt maybe because I paid cash on that order. It's sad we try to support our neighborhood restaurants and they straight rob you. We asked for a shake; banana strawberry and pineapple they charged us $13 smh. We paid but I'll never come back again. I wouldn't suggest this spot neither as they are too expensive for the quality they give. Hopefully this helps their business understand how to treat a customer and give insight to future customers. read more

Mikkey's Retro Grill Stony Island - Check this bill - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food here was horrible! I ordered an Italian beef with pepper jack cheese and a chili . I was asked if I wanted it jerked. I said no. (Jerk is not for everything). It took about 10 minutes before I recieved my sandwich.1st thing wrong.. I looked at the sandwich and wondered what kind of beef was this? .it was if it was chewed up and spit back out.As I took the first bite I could taste the jerk. I gave it back and they made me a new one. That was made with some kind of cheese that was definitely not pepper jack. I then tried the chili. It was as though they added to much water and what ever seasons they use are pungent!!! I wasted $25 . I wanted to su6this business so I wrapped up my food left went to Wendy's threw the food in the garbage and got a Wengus chilli. Chicago is home of the Italian beef. You have to come correct with this. They get 1 star for the fries read more

Every time we go to Mikkey's they never disappoint! From big burgers to crispy wings and shakey shakes there is something here for everyone. I have been here multiple times and I always get a burger which is pretty big by the way and fries with that jumping Sauce. Dare I say it's better than The classic Harolds mild sauce. Now there is a bit of a wait but it's definitely worth it. Burgers are my thing and eventually I want to try every burger on the menu wish me luck. So If your looking for great food with a nice price then stop by and grab a bite. read more

Mikkey's Retro Grill Stony Island - The Sloppy Avocado Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Very Tasty burger. Good to the very last bite. I have no complaints whatsoever! Excellent service as well!! read more

The burgers are really it guys. That's it. That's the review. Also, the shakes are pretty fire. read more

So I put off writing this review for a while. Mostly because, shamefully, like most of society, we only speak up when something is wrong. Rarely when something is right. So I'll start with that. I dig the food quality of Mikkey's. I love a burger that taste homemade. Shakes are good too. I also support their business hours being in accordance with their faith. I think that's dope they didn't have to compromise that to live their dream. Now onto the bad. Fries are not great. There's no consistency with their quality. Similar to Five Guy's fries that's been overcooked. My orders are consistently wrong or missing something. First time ordering, they forgot my milkshake. Second time I ordered milkshakes, someone put them both on the same side of the cup holder, resulting in a lack of balance and half a milkshake spilled into the bag the cup holder was tied up in. The UberEats app, which is what I always order through as I don't own a vehicle, has their Kid's meal backwards. The mozzarella cheesesticks is showing as a main instead of an add-on and the cheeseburger is showing as an add-on instead of a main, resulting in me not getting what I thought I was. Sometimes I order the onion rings in addition to the fries with my burger. Sometimes I get the onion rings in addition and sometimes they replace my fries with the onion rings. I've never ordered from a restaurant on any app and had my order, which is usually the same, come differently every other time. Again, there's a consistency issue here. Today I ordered the jerk fries minus the jerk per my instructions in the notes. It's too spicy for me to eat. I can't tolerate that kinda heat. Substitutions aren't uncommon nor do they say they're not allowed. Plus I ordered it non-jerk days prior and it came correctly. I don't know what's going on with this jerk bandwagon that everyone's been on lately but I wish they hop off of it. Jerk isn't new. With their quality of food, it'd be nice to get a traditional Italian beef or cheese fries without the spice kicked up to hell by jerking it. That's not innovative to me. Next thing you know we'll have jerk cheesecake and jerk ice cream. Just jerk every thing while we're at it. This isn't on UberEats. They only deliver the food. They don't make it. We shouldn't have to choose between quality and service. We deserve both. I thought Mikkey's could be that for us on the south side. Not everyone has the option to come in person to remedy the human errors. I know ya'll doing ya'll best but I vaCan't keep giving you my money for what I didn't order/receive. I'm sorry guys. Update on 12/14/19: Got my order wrong again!!!!!!!! How do you give me an item that isn't even listed on your UberEats menu?! Then I'm told they can't refund it in the shop after previously being told they can. "Previously being told," meaning I've gone through this per my original review, too many times. I had a cooling off period and tried y'all again and I'm disappointed.....again. The manager was also lacking in empathy and sounded unnerved with me. Really? read more

Boss sauce was worth the stop by its self. Great people. Good home made good. Best ace we stopped at in Chicago

First time visiting..Food & Service was excellent!!!! Was looking for a chopped cheese sandwich... so good. Italian beef, chicken wings. ALLLLLL GOOD. The guy that took my order gave me a sample of the sauce and said I will remember the sauce and him... AND I WILL. LOVED IT!!!!!This will be my go to whenever I come to the city. Thank you read more

Food was great. Mild sauce was pretty darn good. The whole family ate good and we want to go back today but unfortunately we live 45 minutes away. Everyone was friendly there as well. Laughed and joked with us. They had great music playing. Had my 18 month old grooving and dancing. This place is a hit. read more

The burgers are good! I had a single and that was perfect size for me. The wait was a bit long.

My burger tasted like meat and water with no seasoning . The fries were cold , and the chicken tenders were hard as rocks. It took entirely too long to get this food to be disappointed. read more

Food is good. For a while I wouldn't go back because when ordering through Grubhub and other services, my order was always messed up. When I order now I call after and let them know what condiments I want. read more

Best Wings I've ever had. Staff was very nice. Lot's of great choices on the menu. I'll definitely be back. Thanks read more

I refused the receipt so it's my fault... ordered the lemon pepper fries and they weren't but the flavor of the way they cook them I ain't complaining at all! The Hebrew burger I went with was pretty good. I love the parking lot here so I don't have to go to Hyde park at all now. Another difference is the attentive, hard working employees, greet you when you walk in. - The sitting set up hard to say the bench seating while u wait I like for to go orders, the center seating they have hard mini ( I say mini cuz I got a big butt) stools that isn't ergonomically for the lower tables. Your kind of hovering hunched over your food ... idk kinda uncomfortable to me. And the seating under the tv it's cute but -- if you want to see the tv ya straining your neck and then your just like f-&:k it. Despite the seating your there for the food and all of it is hella good. I'll be returning here. read more

The restaurant is always clean when I go in there and the service is great! The wait for the food honestly isn't that long. Now the most recent time I went I got an avocado burger, there was barely any avocado on there, like I could not taste any avocado. The previous time I went I got wings and I can honestly say those were really good! Then the time before I got a chicken sandwich and that was alright. I would say the only thing I personally recommend is the chicken wings. read more

I love Mikkeys and have been a constant supporter but my last two experiences have left me really annoyed. I stopped in for a meal for my kid and the older black woman who often has a bad attitude greeted me with, "you here to pick up or order?". No hello or welcome to Mikkeys as the other team members usually do. When I responded with I would like to place an order, without even acknowledging that she couldn't do it because she doesn't work the register, she walked away without a word. When the cashier stepped up, I ordered when I should have left. The only reason I did not was because my son really wanted Mikkeys and I wanted to fulfill my agreement to get him some. My next visit was this Monday, July 20. I ordered the impossible burger with everything advertised and Rico mild sauce on my fries. When I unwrapped my burger, the bun was already broken in several places. There is no way it was placed on the burger whole. It's not like much happened during my 10 minute ride home. It was a hot mess to try to eat and it was the driest bun ever made on earth. It crumbled. I finally decided to save myself the drama and carbs so I took the top crumbled/ broken bun off. The canned mushrooms used on the burger made it unappetizing even while eating it without the top bun. I threw the entire burger away and ate the fries that seemed to be fresh and longer than 3 inches-about 15-20, I was given hard and short fries. Never again. NEVER. PLANT BASED JUNKIE caters to vegans. Mikkeys is not doing it for me as I no longer eat meat. Maybe I'll return for a shake but nothing more. read more

Every time I come to Chicago I come here for there vegan burger. This burger is better than Slutty Vegan in ATL. And that says a lot.

For 1 it's too hot to be working there, employees need a raise for working in that heat with NO AC. Owners won't get it fixed because "it cost too much." Owners doesn't help out when they really need to in that heat plus they leave whenever they feel like it read more

great burgers, amazing vegan options ! great service and friendly manager that was very helpful and kind

Delicious and creative burgers. I really enjoy the food! Friendly and courteous service. read more

This place is beyond GHETTO! They have music blasting,and complaining about not being able to hear me place my order..... Make that,make sense..... Let's see if they f*ck my order up,like allllllllllllllll the other times,I try and try,to give these folks business .....Black folks make it hard,to shop with black owned businesses......THE SERVICE IS TERRIBLE! read more

My husband and I will patronize a few black businesses. This was the first stop. Food was fresh. Got a few items to try since it was our first time. My husband tried Hebrew burger, he really enjoyed it. Also had parmesan fries. He said they where okay. I had jerk fries. He enjoyed them. We also tried the chicken wings. Flavors (Rico and haberno) Not bad! I had regular Mikkey's burger, very tasty! I would come back. Just waited about 40 min for our order. But I didn't mind because it was good. read more

I have not been her since COVID but this establishment went down and that's sad because they had a really nice brand. Walked in at lunchtime only one other person. A relatively new restaurant looked run down and dingy. I almost walked out. Ordered jerk fries. $11 for potatoes, cheeses and some cilantro and onions with a little jerk sauce. The cheese was watery thin and tasted old. I just threw them away. read more

Very very great & impeccable customer service. Very alert & attentive to customers needs. I love to see BLACK owned businesses who live up to being BLACK. I love the atmosphere read more

Was in the neighborhood visiting my GM and didn't want the typical fast food options, so I stop here; Mikkey's. The place needs a good cleaning on the inside to say the least. Customer service is key and this place was far away from giving it. I guess they thought the food will sell itself. But not with a cost of $1 for a oz cup of bbq sauce. Really... I will check back update you all on what the food taste like. I bought the salmon burger and fries. read more

I didn't want to leave this review, but this is one of the worst experiences I've had period! Today, I ordered Mickey's on Uber Eats. The order arrived and all 3 burgers we ordered were wrong. Also, the fries were dark brown and crunchy. I calmly called to let them know and the cashier became defensive and hung up. We drove there and when we got there she went off. She put on gloves and inspected each sandwich while making snide comments. Afterwards she walked away and we asked next steps. She said I'll make another one. By this time I asked for the manager. The cashier began loudly going off and went into a full tantrum. This tantrum went on the entire 20 mins we were there. We asked for a refund and we were told that it would have to come from Uber Eats. Our total was $70. With a 5-7 day payment return time, we decided to move forward with the order. We asked the manager to make our order and not the other young lady. At some point, I spoke to the owner on the phone who apologized profusely. I would have extended grace and mercy and passed on this review, but the team member continued to yell and be disrespectful. She messed up our order and was inconsolable. While waiting I went outside and a customer thst was in the restaurant said that employee talked bad about us after we called and when we walked in, she knew there would be a confrontation from her. While we were talking, that employee came outside and was having a tantrum about the situation on her speaker phone. We dispersed, because we didn't feel safe. We finally got out food 20 minutes later and left. That employee was still rambling. Unbelievable!! Towards the end, we just didn't feel safe. Who was she talking to on the phone? Would they come to the restaurant? Once we got the food home, it was just OK. The shakes were good. I will not be returning. What a stressful, unprofessional experience. Also, that explosive tantrum didn't make us feel safe. read more

Absolutely perfect. These wings are very good. I be afraid when I go to places if the grease is expired but it clearly was not . I was greeted upon arrival the dining room was spotless tables and all . What I really liked was the service. These girls are beautiful I left a 20 dollar tip my bill was only 14 . I feel like in our area it's not enough customer service and they met my expectations. The icing on the cake the bathroom was clean and that's surprising. 100 percent great visit read more

Wanted a burger... it was subpar. The fries were undercooked and disgusting. The establishment is so smokey as if they don't have a vent to cycle out the smoke from the burnt food on the grill. The customer service over the phone was so great, but in person it felt very unwelcoming. Long/short - just go to Wendy's or Checkers read more
