Good burgers but not great. The only problem with them is that they aren’t seasoned. However, they use velveeta cheese on their burgers which makes the burger. They also have good sloppy BBQ(sauce is mixed in the BBQ) and regular BBQ sandwiches. Their signature items are their homemade Rootbeer, which has no equal, and their fried cauliflower. Both are great and a must have if you are trying it for the first time.

American burger joint with homemade rootbeer. Closed recently for awhile for updates and an ownership change but came back good as ever. Staff are friendly but can get rather busy rather quick. Ample seating and can dine in your car with a tray if you like. The menu has been almost cut in half from before but the food is still good. Prepare to pay higher than average prices though.

I had a barbecue sandwich. My wife had a hamburger and then we split some onion rings. The barbecue could’ve had a lot more meat on it. It was good just needed a little bit more substance. The burger was nothing special. The root beers and a mug were absolutely great and the service was very very good. Waitress was great!

Great place with a lot of history and tradition I’ve been eating here every since I can remember has been in my hometown my whole life. The food is great and the homemade root beer is the best hands down. My family and I eat here quite often and they love it too. It is a must if you come visit West Frankfort

Went there a couple of weeks ago to get some burgers and bbqs and root beer for me and some friends, got the bbqs out, they had CHEESE on them. Someone in our group can’t have cheese so she just didn’t eat(who would’ve dreamed we needed to say no cheese on a BBQ?) Not to mention the meat was cheap all fat. Yuck! The burgers didn’t even fill out the bun so it was mostly bun with a little bit of meat, and last but not least the root beer tasted old and really watered down. Second time I’ve gone there and this type of thing happened both times. NEVER going back.

Really long wait. We waited 1.5 hours for two cheeseburgers– there didn’t appear to be any sort of management. Food wasn’t bad though!

Mike’s has the best quality food I have ever had from a fast food place. Pulled pork is a must. Cauliflower is fresh and flavorful and does not taste greasy like most places. My wife is a professional taster and even she was very pleased. Pass up all of the chains and come here.

Way better than the fast food alternatives in the area! Stopped on a road trip and when I come back through in a couple months I hope to stop here again!
