After trying other restaurants in town, I see what makes this is a local gem that offers a solid dining experience. We indulged in a variety of dishes, each showcasing the quality and care that Big Mike’s is known for. While the steak wasn’t cooked to the temp ordered, it was tender, and flavorful. The pork loin chops were more impressive, juicy and well seasoned, making for a hearty and satisfying dish. The crabcakes were not anything special. The queso dip was creamy and rich, tweaked to the liking of our bartender suggestion. Good call. It made a solid starter that set the tone for the meal.

The carrot cake was dense, with just the right amount of sweetness and a delicate balance of flavors, not overly nutty, making it a delightful treat. The salted caramel cheesecake was indulgent, with a smooth texture and a perfect blend of sweet and salty. However, the star of the evening was the bread pudding. It stole the show with its warm, comforting flavors and a texture that was simply divine. If you’re dining at Big Mike’s, make sure to save room for this dessert – it’s an absolute must try. Overall, Big Mike’s offers a well rounded dining experience with dishes that are as satisfying as they are memorable.
