Mr Mike’s Steakhouse

I find the negative reviews here very hard to believe.
Each and every time we have had a meal at this location it has been terrific.
We like to stop here on our way up the island for car shows in the summer, and also in the winter, when our son has had hockey games in Duncan and Shawnigan. It is my husband’s favorite place to eat north of the Malahat! The French Onion Soup is delightful, the Mushrooms Neptune delicious, and the Mike Burgers are amazing!!!
The staff is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. It cant be called a «gourmet» spot, but it is a fabulous restaurant and we will continue to travel from Victoria to eat here!

Went there for dinner, first order was wrong so the took it back, which I never do because I don’t want any of the chefs special sauce because I complained. Anyway the right order eventually comes out after everyone else at the table was nearly finished, and of course it was wrong again, this time it was well done instead of rare, l wasn’t going to complain but the waitress ask if everything was okay and I just had to tell her. Anyway the gave me a free entrée coupon for my next visit which I don’t think I will be using anytime soon.

I have not been to a Mr. Mike’s in over 30 years and I was skeptical at first. Stopped for convenience and glad we did. This place was fantastic. Service was very good and the filet was delicious. I asked if I could have extra veggies instead of the onion rings and they were happy to accommodate.
I would definitely go back if I find myself in the area.

Who the heck is the owner in Duncan BC ??
I had my waitress shout across the room and ask «So how is your food «.
“What I can’t hear you «?? I replied !! I felt like I was in a truck stop !
And the fries were stone cold !! What happened to Mr. Mikes of the past ??
Could the owners possibly give me a reply ?
I would sure appreciate it !!
Cheers

Love Mr. Mike’s!
Okay, it’s not as good as the old version with famous salad bar that was franchised and spread over BC and Alberta, ending in the 2000s.
It’s «new», somehow trying to be a cross between The Keg and Montana’s, and NO salad bar. Bummer. Who wants to order a $ 24 steak here when there are so many other true steak houses, at least down in Victoria, and even the steak sandwich at Arbutus Ridge Golf Club is worth the drive.
This is my third visit since it opened.
Best: the Mikeburger remains on the menu! Yay! Still under $ 10.00. That’s what I keep coming back for. Even the Mikeburger sliders on Sunday were yummy. Three mini versions of the big Mike for $ 8.99. Ron ordered the $ 12.99 Mikeburger with bacon and cheese and said it was big enough, delicious and filling, just like the «old days» of Mr. Mike’s, with grilled seasoned burger patty, French loaf style bread, garlic butter, cheese, crisp bacon, onion and secret sauce. Only complaint was that the fries were not plentiful, small portion.
Not good: service has been inconsistent on all three visits. Sunday it was busy, so perhaps understaffed (?). Slow serving lunch, but helpful with the drinks, thanks to the host, or was he a double duty bartender? It was slow, but it seemed to be that they knew it was slow, so they did a good job checking in with updates, etc.
Can’t get enough of the Mikeburger. .. .
