As a food reviewer for Menu Buzz, I was eager to dive into their menu, and let me tell you—it's all about fueling your appetite. One of the standout dishes is their "Gentlemen Start Your Engines" wings. Tossed in either a tangy Buffalo or a smoky BBQ sauce, these jumbo wings are a feast for the eyes and the palate, served with your choice of ranch or bleu cheese for dipping. For $11, you’ll discover a flavor explosion that leaves you wanting more. If you’re in the mood for something a bit different, the Nacho Supreme is a stellar choice, featuring a crunchy array of fresh tortilla chips topped with savory taco meat and a colorful medley of toppings for just $7.
Breakfast lovers will rejoice at Mike's "Fueling Up" menu. The egg sandwich, paired with crispy hashbrowns, is a steal at $5. But the real showstopper? The Country Fried Steak & Eggs, perfectly golden-fried and smothered in rich sausage gravy, all for just $8. It’s a hearty way to start your day, and trust me, you won’t leave hungry.
Don't forget the "World Famous" section, where you’ll find Mike's Famous Chili—a hearty, secret-recipe delight served with Texas toast. It's a dish that brings warmth not just to your stomach, but to your soul, especially on those chilly Indiana days.
The ambiance at Mike's is just as commendable as the food. Customer reviews highlight the friendly bartenders, particularly Kelly, who creates an inviting and entertaining atmosphere, ensuring each guest feels right at home. The live music and lively chatter among patrons enhance the lounge's appeal, making it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.
