The fish is incredibly fresh and flaky every single time. What really sets Mike's apart from other seafood joints, though, is the salad bar. It is hands-down the freshest and most extensive one in the area. They have everything from crisp greens to delicious homemade pasta salads, broccoli salad, and real bacon bits. It's the perfect way to lighten up a heavy fried meal. The portions are massive, the staff treats you like an old friend, and the sweet tea is always cold. Whether you're a local or just passing through on I-55, do yourself a favor and stop in!

We, a family of 5 traveling from Kentucky to Galveston decided to stop overnight in Hammond. As soon as we arrived, our waitress immediately recognized the pent up energy of a 3 year old cooped up in a car seat for the last 8 hours. She immediately took his his order and had his dinner on the table quickly, occupying his busy hands. She recommended the spinach dip as appetizer with a fried pasta . It was gone in minutes! Great. She then recommended the special, pork loin, that my son devoured! Wife and daughter thoroughly enjoyed the crab cakes. I had trout with almandine sauce. First time eating trout but after eating this, I realized I have missed out! It was outstanding.
