Mike’s Cafe

This is a nice spot to catch a game, have some drinks, and get some good easy foods. Overall prices have always seemed reasonable and staff has always been friendly. We manage to visit the area twice a year for work and start to recognize many folks. Will continue to visit when in town.

The parking lot and drive to this place is still rough and full of potholes so still be cautious if you are on a motorcycle.
Update: their Facebook page is updated daily with the specials for Mike’s and the Facebook page for Lil’ Mike’s downtown is updated daily.
The food quality is still top notch. They are offering Italian Beef sandwiches for lunch on Fridays. This is the best Italian Beef in Corinth. The meat is so tender it melts in your mouth. You can tell they don’t leave the meat sitting and cooking in the Au Jus for endless hours. They could add Pepperoncini peppers to their choice of peppers.
The supreme pizza is loaded with toppings and served on thin crust. The waitress didn’t ask my crust preference so I assume all crusts are thin here. The sauce is just a bit tart but not bitter. There is just enough to enhance the toppings and not overpower them. They do slice their pizza into squares, so heads up!
I am not a fan of the catfish Po’ Boy. The fish had an overwhelming spice, like sage, that just did not fit at all. No, I didn’t tell them I didn’t like it. Yes, I did eat it. Yes, it turned into a gut bomb after eating it. Yes, I regret not complaining. Yes, I wish I had just taken it home to feed to the cats. No, I do not recommend the fish at Mike’s. Go to Ramjet’s in Burnsville for the fish on Fri or Sat.
Café Mike’s opened a small sister diner downtown called Lil’ Mike’s Grill and offers a lot of the same salad and sandwich fare as Café Mike’s. Instead of a daily burger special they offer a daily wrap special.

There are dinner specials also, but use caution when ordering, the taste is OK, but there is no heat in the food. Cold meat, cold beans and soggy toast always leaves a bad taste.

We walk up and tons of people outside smoking. We definitely stuck out like a sore thumb. As we attempt to walk in, the doorways blocked off because the darts are directly in front if the door. Stupidest arrangement ever! Its probably a nice little cozy place if you live there. Its hid behind a warehouse on a dark street. Not the place for locals really. Everyone in town jaws about it like its the hot spot.
Draft selection had Bud Light, Goose Island and Miller Lite, oh and Landshark. All 4 – 5 $ too. Was not feeling that. At all.
The more and more I travel, the more «I Love Cleveland!»

Went there for a couple of beers and something to eat at the bar, while watching the game. The beer was cold… really cold. And the food was surprisingly good (not great) for bar grub. I had the nachos; friends had the steak sandwich and artichoke dip. Lots of locals were there… very friendly. Juke box, a couple of dart boards, and a rumor of karaōke (on some nights). All in all, I would certainly go back.

Mike’s has been in Corinth for a long time, so naturally it’s become a spot for locals to go to. But for good reason.
I’ve been to Mike’s numerous times and it’s always worth it. Service is always good (although if you visit about lunchtime during the week it gets really, really busy!!!) The food is always great, hot foods hot, cold foods cold. I can’t say that it’s the best meal in the whole world, but always consistent and that’s even better.
The fried dill pickle spears are ahhhhhhhmazing. Who ever is working the fryer always makes sure the oil is screaming hot because the batter on those pickles is always nice and golden… crispy…delicious…OK, enough about pickles.
They have everyday of the week specials (meaning they’re offered all the time depending on what day it is). Salads are good and quite large with your choice of dressing.
And the prices are very reasonable.
At night, the back of the restaurant turns into a small bar. Not the kind where people break beer bottles over your head and try to start a fight type place, but just a local gathering spot for the 20 – 30 somethings. TVs with sports on, dart boards, music, small selection of beer, bottled and tap.
Overall, unless you have some phobia about sports memorabilia and baseball caps hanging all over the wall or you just don’t like to eat at quality, friendly local establishments, then Mike’s probably isn’t for you. Otherwise, can’t go wrong here!
