    I don't know who are their chefs but they are Talented!!! Every single food was delicious, and honestly price range was good compared to the quality of the food. We ordered Tex-mex eggroll as appetizer, Grilled Chicken (my favorite!), Jambalaya Pasta and Apple Pecan Pie with ice-cream (Delicious!). Even the mushroom was seasoned and cooked very well. I Highly recommend to order a dessert. If you diet, have a cheat meal, share it with someone but still order! Atmosphere is beautiful, well decorated. Definitely a very busy place so please reserve and then go there early. Even after we reserved our place, we still had to wait 20 minutes. Great place for friends, family, couples, kids, everyone. We are definitely going there again & again!

    Mike's isn't just an American restaurant; it defines what one should be. Every dish on their menu is a winner - you can order with your eyes closed and be guaranteed a great meal. Having worked there, I can personally attest to the quality; we sampled everything to ensure we could give accurate descriptions to guests. It's truly a place with great food and great service.

    We’re so glad we stopped to eat here! We were from out of town and looking for a place to stop for dinner on a Friday evening. We placed a last minute reservation at 6pm for 6:15pm. The parking lot was full, but we just parked at the McDonald’s next door. The restaurant itself is beautiful, two floors, beautiful brick building. Despite how busy it was and our last minute reservation, we were seated immediately. The atmosphere was fun and lively. They have a kitchen on each floor of the restaurant- both open kitchens! All of the food we ordered was fresh and really tasty. We ordered the bread basket to start- just some rolls and butter. I think you can tell a lot about a restaurant just by the kind of bread and butter they serve, and these were delicious :) Our entrees were so yummy, and by this point we knew we had to order the dessert, so we got the key lime pie and it did not disappoint! Our waiter was attentive and didn’t miss a beat. Everything came out pretty fast, too! Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone passing through this area! The locals are lucky to have a restaurant like this in their community!

    This place stood out as a great dinner in an area filled with amazing food. I ordered the filet and Crab cakes (with an amazing Caesar salad), and the food was prompt and cooked / seasoned to perfection. It was reasonably priced (I'm on Per-Diem, so not eating here too often), and I will absolutely make an effort to come here again. Also, a huge shout out to Doug (server 271) in the bar area. He was informative about what to order (without being pushy), and was fun to talk to through dinner. I would say that I came to dinner around 6pm, and parking was very limited. Not sure what it would be like later, but there were a few spots close at the time I got there.

    I was in the Springfield area and was searching for a place to eat. I hit the jackpot when I found Mike’s American Grill. The service was amazing as well as the burger and french fries I ordered. The burger was nicely made, juicy and extremely tasty. The string-like french fries were nicely made. They were not soggy like french fries from other places. After I finished my meal, my appetite felt very satisfied. I will be returning here often. They are truly worth the drive from DC.

    Mike’s American Grill is a must-visit! I absolutely loved their crab cake sandwich — it was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Definitely for the win! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the service is top-notch. Whether you’re there for a casual lunch or a hearty dinner, the food and experience never disappoint.

    I’ve been coming here almost 10 years. I kid you not the food is always ALWAYS consistent. Service is always 12/10. Cortez is awesome I’ve gotten him as a waiter 2-3 times he’s super kind and attentive. All the staff here is amazing the two girls in the front downstairs are super sweet. I love this place. I’ll never stop coming here :)
