About this business

It is difficult to narrate the experience of tasting Mike's chili for the first time. The recipe has been in the family for several generations and it is no wonder why. The decor is not the reason this eatery has been in business for nearly eight decades. There is usually a game on the television and chili stains on the tables, but this isn't the kind of place you come to for white linen-topped tables. Chili, chilidogs, chili fries and scores of other chili concoctions top the menu.

We really liked it! Ordered a chili burger, chili dog and a basket of fries. Yuuuuuummmmm. Plus, Mike came around and visited with us. I would definitely return.

Dive bar with darn good chili. Haven't been in years and the chili hasn't changed a bit. Gotta love consistency. Oh yeah, I forgot that they are "cash only", but they have an ATM, although it'll cost you $2.50 from the ATM, and maybe more if your bank charges for non-network withdrawal.

Mikes is always the best chili in Seattle! Too bad they aren’t open on sundays � they only take cash also but who cares the food has never changed in all the years I have been going to mikes . My parents were regulars in the very old days also . I remember those greasy old takeout containers they brought home to EW after a trip to Ballard!

It's an old school bar with a small kitchen/griddle in the corner. Don't come here for fine dining. Come here for the authentic , local, blue collar bar atmosphere that one would expect from an establishment residing next to an offshore fishing fleet!... I thought it was awesome! The tap selection is good/adequate. The food is hot and tastes just like you would expect from the kitchen that it's cooked in.
