Place Title: Mr Mikes Steakhouse CasualPlace Description:
Mr Mikes Steakhouse Casual is about feeling like you belong, where everyone feels comfortable in his or her own way. It’s humble and modest and it’s your place – a place where you don’t have to be something you’re not, you can just be yourself. It means tasty and affordable creations from our signature steak and Mikeburgers to our home-branded wines and beers. It’s about creating memories, uncontrollable laughs and the charm of warm service.
Staying true to our roots, we are embarking on revitalizing all our restaurants to create an atmosphere that is relaxed and genuine, and never contrived.

At MR MIKES, we don’t presume to be average or ordinary. We celebrate our uniqueness and the momentous events that contribute to our diversity. We chuckle in the face of political correctness and etiquette as we reminisce about that time, way back when…
