So thirteen years creeps up pretty quick in a marriage. Thankfully my wife isn't high maintenance. She requested that for our anniversary that we just try someplace we haven't been before for a really good bar burger. So I turned my fellow Cleveland yelpers and started reading their reviews.
We wanted to stay close to home so I focused around the Strongsville area. After reading lots of reviews of several places I opted for Mike's. The reviews I read were wonderful but, it truly was the uploaded photos that made up my mind. We parked in the public parking lot and walked over to the bar. This place is pretty small inside but well-kept and very clean. We strolled in about 6:15 on a Saturday night and only had to wait about five minutes for a table.
The place was packed. There was also a private party going on in the upper room from the entrance. Despite all the craziness of the packed restaurant and a private party going on the service was excellent.
They had an extensive beer list. It's always nice to have more than three or four choices. Wife and I both ordered burgers. Nothing fancy........ When I saw other tables orders coming from the kitchen I instantly liked what I saw. Our burgers came out relatively quick and were cooked to perfection. Mike's is a solid four star burger joint. They even have a kids menu so the wife and I will be bringing our son the next time we go.
