Just got a delivery order from there. Super fast. Portion sizes are huge. Got a chicken sandwich mashed potatoes and mac n cheese (which is the only thing that was just ok) other than that I can get 3 meals off the portions. Definitely worth it.

Great food. We got a rack of ribs and some sides and cornbread last night, and everything was delicious. Quick especially since we were tired and ready to get home. The lady that was working was so friendly she made us feel welcome and as if she knew us, our whole lives, very friendly. Totally recommend Chef Mikes place.

We placed a huge order and everything was delivered in only about 35 minutes. It was all outstanding and this is our new favorite place. The BBQ pork sandwiches were so good that we ate them before we thought to get pictures. The portions were so huge that we couldn’t finish them and also the pork was very tender. The chicken tenders and Mac n cheese were loved by all, though the kids didn’t appreciate just how good the Mac n cheese actually was. My husband loved the jalapeno corned bread because it was cakey and just enough sweetness. My friend loved the Mac salad and raved about the cheesecake. The piece of chocolate cake was so massive it was shared by 3 kids!! It was so moist and tasted homemade. My favorite was the mashed potatoes because I’ve never had such light and creamy potatoes with such a light and delicious flavor! The salad and coleslaw was fresh and crunchy. We didn’t have anything that was less than amazing. We plan to try their burgers and ribs next. We highly recommend them to anyone who loves food that tastes like it took hours to prepare in massive portions for a very reasonable price. I should add that We ordered the BBQ wings but were all to stuffed to try them. The sauce was great though and they are huge.

Got dinner tonight for my family. Food was great, big portions and reasonable prices. The garlic knots are giant and covered in butter and garlic and so soft. We also got chicken fettuccine and it was delicious with left overs for lunch tomorrow! Will definitely be back! Save your money on all that junk fast food and get some real food at a great price!

Don't sleep on this hidden gem, it has all the comfort food you need, at a reasonable price. The ribs are great, Mikes personality is great, and it's such a lifesaver when you want something "real" but done feel like having to go all around town at 8pm to find dinner. I Usually get his BBQ pork sandwich or whatever his special is. Tonights was lasagna and a garlic knot. It.Is.Wonderful.

Amazing food! Got the fettuccine Alfredo, ribs, and famous slow roasted pig sandwich and everything was 10/10! The sides were great too (Mac and cheese, corn, fries and garlic knot). The ooey-gooey butter cake was amazing and you can tell it is homemade which is awesome. Will be coming back!!

First off, we already knew the food was going to be amazing because we could smell it outside as we walked up. The staff were genuinely pleasant and attentive from start to finish. We got the rib cheeseburger and bacon cheeseburger. They both tasted amazing. They were flavorful and tender. The burgers size and fries portions were big enough that we have leftovers for dinner. I had to get the cheesecake and it was really good. The prices are reasonable. Highly recommend that you show support to this restaurant.
