- April GliddenMay 20, 2015I like Mike's! I am usually down there in the off season so not crowded and crazy busy. I have always had a great time with friendly staff and great food and do recommend this as a stop for friends.Upvote4Downvote
Chrissy NickelAugust 27, 2015Get the lobster stew. To die for!!! The crab and scallop stuffed fish was also great! Busy but lots of seating, so you won't wait longUpvote4Downvote- Great seafood & Lobster Stew. So far we have yet to be Disappointed. And the Desert menu is wonderful. The strawberry shortcake is awesome.Upvote4Downvote
Beerlady TullysApril 16, 2012This place is well known for it's fried seafood menu, and more recently for it's large sports oriented bar. Sometimes bands or singers. Locals love the bar. Now serving breakfast.Upvote1Downvote
M Reilly-BrooksAugust 13, 2017Ok--not great. Lobster roll was stuffed and the fried clams were tasty. Lobster stew full of lobster but not seasoned, and it was fairly pricey too.UpvoteDownvote

Ellen HJuly 8, 2012If they are going to sell soft shell lobsters at the take out they really should let you knowUpvote1Downvote
Rhonda LittleSeptember 28, 2014Do not order the baked stuffed haddock. Fish swims in water and stuffing had no taste or seasoning. Mikes special stuffing is not very special.UpvoteDownvote
Great for families - and my son's favorite bowl of mussels.UpvoteDownvote
