| - Wow! What can I say about Mike's? A LOT!
Hubs and I found ourselves kidless last night so we thought to ourselves DATE NIGHT! WOOHOO! So we did the coin toss between two places we've been meaning to check out and Mike's won out. I think hubs and I won out too.
Mike's is a great corner spot in the middle of Baldwin Wallace Campus in the heart of Berea. It's a bar not a restaurant. No, it's a restaurant not a bar. No... it's both but it looks more like a bar and sounds a lot more like a bar. It's Located right on Front street. We parked by Dick's Bakery and strolled down the road to hit our pick.
We got there around 6:30 and the place was already packed. Tables were filled with moms and dads with little kids in tow, college kids at nearby tables, a gorgeous elderly couple just beyond them and a bar lined up shoulder to shoulder with patrons, young and old! I was struck by the variety of customers!
We waited for a table for about twenty minutes, were seated by our awesome server at a very recently vacated table and then menus in hand we started down the path to culinary delight!
Drinks came quickly, stout for hubs and root beer for me. Forget ordering root beer on tap, get the bottled! Nice rich birch beer! Hubs got the Philly Steak and I got the Burger.
Our eyes popped at the size of the onion rings we ordered, easily 2 1/2" thick slices! Tasted amazing on top of being ginormous!
The Philly was amazing, tender, juicy, dripping in cheese and smothered in onions and mushrooms. If you're a Philly native and missing home then stop on in!
The burger was cooked perfectly, medium with a touch of pink, juicy to the point of sopping through the bun, the flavor was heavenly! Almost like I was enjoying a perfectly seared steak. Lordy it was good!
If only I could breathe after inhaling that monster burger! Whew! It took some time and effort but I did finish it!
Now, food aside, let's get back to our fellow diners. An older couple were seated next to us right before our food arrived. We exchanged polite smiles as we were seated only a foot away from them and that's when our Food arrived.
So we're stuffing our gullets and that's when the lovely woman asked how we were enjoying dinner, and of course we were like mmph mmmph so good (mouths stuffed).
Her hubs starts telling us they've been coming here since the joint opened 10 years ago, knows Mike the owner and Mike the chef. Mike the owner comes over to check on them, gets introduced to us, and makes sure we're well taken care of. We visited with our new pals next to us for the next 45 minutes or so, finished our meal, had another round of drinks and then waddled off to our parking spot three blocks away. THANK GOD we decided to park so far down the road. We soooo needed the exercise after our deep dive into our meals!
Anyway, can you tell we had a great date night? Go to Mike's, you'll have fun and a good meal.
