Burger was good, homemade chips are oily and half of them soft, not chip like. Younger waitress was excellent and very attentive, the older waitress, possibly owner or manager was behind the counter the entire time I ate talking to a friend loudly and not helping anyone, I just think that’s bad optics in a restaurant.
This was the first time ive eaten here since they started serving French fries. So I guess that tells you how long its been and it will probably be the last time I come back. It was just ok. We came in and there were only 2 couples seated and one person at the bar area. It was 3 pm on a Sunday and all the tables were dirty. We were told to “just sit anywhere”. And $55 for 2 mediocre burgers, a basket of French fries and one soda served at a dirty table i wiped myself? I think its overpriced by a lot. Now the French fries were tasty, just the right amount of salt and crunchy too. I think they were very oily from being fried too many times(see photo) My husband got the bacon cheeseburger. And it was good. A basic bacon cheeseburger though the bacon was done quite well , right amount of crunch and a good amount too. Now, I got the stinky breath burger and it WAS a cheeseburger with tons of garlic on it. It had potential. BUT it had tons of BOILED garlic, like they boiled it in a pot of water! It was so flavorless and watery(see photo) It made my burger a watery mess. So what could have been a good burger was pretty gross. Who boils garlic instead of roasting it? My husband’s burger came with the homemade chips and I like kettle style chips but these were stale and hard. Not good at all. I was ready to just go home. I’ve waited awhile to post this because I just kept thinking maybe its not as bad as I thought it was and I’ll think more positive over time but actually its gone the other way. Im sorry, this was just not good all around.
I’ve been the occasional patron of Mike’s since its inception in the mid-90’s at the Petaluma auction yard. I’ve always liked their burgers and loved how they used to not offer fries, but potato salad. That was long ago but still…The burgers are great and for a long time now you’ve got the option of fries.
Service was good, the Buffalo chicken sandwich I had recently was good as well. Not a huge lunch rush on a Saturday. Football was on the tv screens and if you went Ed a beer or cider, they have a decent selection.
Been coming here since before they had fries!! Never a let down…I mean like…ever. And I mean for decades!! My family moved to Petaluma in 1972…a little before Mikes at the Crossroads but I remember the late 90’s and 2000’s it was and still is a staple in the community. Today I tried the Franimal Fries and a side of criss cut chips.
