"We've been to Big Mike's 3 times now and the food is great! Make sure you ask for Krisitn. She's a phenomenal waitress, southern hospitality at its finest. 10/10 recommend! As long as they keep the cook and Kristen, we will be regular customers!"

"Went with a group of ladies from my church. The food was really good. I had Buffalo Chicken Fries lunch special. I ate until I was full and had enough for a full lunch the next day. The service is always great!! I believe the lunch specials were $8.99, and there are several options. We didn't wait because we reserved the banquet room."

"We absolutely LOVE this place. We go several times a month. Food is always hot, seasoned great, and always a variety to choose from. Service can be a bit slow sometimes, but the staff is always friendly and helpful. It definitely doesn't stop us from going. Everything we have ever tried is scrumptious."

"The food is mostly very good. We love the buffet. The staff are always friendly. The one time we got crab legs they were way too salty and not good. Not worth the large extra cost to get them. Also I wish we had at least a couple of choices for dessert. It’s hit or miss for the one available dessert. The shrimp, catfish, and other items on the buffet are delicious!"

"Food was good, but some items missing from plate, like ranch, not a big issue. Ordered over the phone for Xtra large drink but received small. Granted was told I could get a larger one but the issue was I had already stood in line for 25 mins just to pay. A better method for check out should be established. Either leave the tickets on the table for the customer to bring up or something at the register to place them in order neatly, instead of the worker having to dig through a pile to find the right one."

Wish I had taken more pics . I did not get crableggs this visit, but they have been cooked perfectly in past ."

"Food was good and fairly priced, at least for this day and age where everything costs an arm and a leg. Got the garlic Parmesan boneless wings, and while they were a tad on the crispy side, the sauce was great and the wings were good size and the fries were good just a little light on the seasoning. Overall, dining at this place with my family has filled the black void in my heart and soul just enough to where life doesn't seem so drab anymore. 10/10 will dine again"
