MR MIKES HISTORY

A juicy story.

For over 60 years, MR MIKES has always been more than just a steakhouse; it’s a place where great times and great meals come together. Our passion goes beyond just serving premium steaks and our famous Mikeburgers®; it’s the laughs, the stories, and the high-fives across the tables that really make us tick.

Since opening our doors back in 1960, MR MIKES has been dedicated to creating an atmosphere that’s as inviting as our menu. We began with a simple yet profound vision: to offer amazing, affordable indulgences in a welcoming and casual setting. These original values remain at the core of our brand’s evolution and our guests now have the choice of indulging in our family-friendly restaurant or venturing into our vibrant urbanLODGE®.

So, what’s our secret sauce? Simple — it’s all about creating a home-away-from-home where everyone can unwind, enjoy mouthwatering food, and create unforgettable memories.

“It was very seamless, we had support through the construction of the restaurants which takes some time. There was someone here all the time helping and even after that once you open up they had a great training program for our staff. So it was a 3 or 4 week training program where they came down, trained everybody and stayed after we opened to make sure it was smooth and it was just a great experience, I couldn’t say enough about it.”

“People want a full experience—with a franchise I think you’re able to offer so much more in terms of service and consistency…You can trust the brand.”

“I started looking at four or five different franchises in the beginning. It was MR MIKES, who I thought was the most professional with their response. I had the best feeling with them right out of the gate. One thing I liked about MR MIKES after getting their franchise information was their focus on training. We had a training team here for a month. There were 13 people from various MR MIKES locations for a month training our staff.”
