I've been going there regularly for many. many years. My family loves the food, and the wonderful people who work there are a real credit to the company. It's not haute cuisine, but good basic tasty food. I also really like the milkshakes.

Never again will I eat there. – I went to Mike's 10 years ago, and despite it being a local legend, I didn't like it then. We were in the neighborhood and my son was hungry for a burger today, so we went in. I was really hungry and looking forward to eating a yummy burger. I was utterly and completely disappointed! Thier burgers taste like the cheap sliders you can buy at the grocery store and they were only half the size! We paid over $17 for TWO baskets and not only were the burgers tiny, there weren't even that many fries... read more

Accosted at Mike's by an employee and his wife – Parking is tight there. So tight, that the car next to the space I was pulling in to was in my space. Oh well. I managed to squeeze out my car door, but tapped my car door against hers. When I came back out, she was talking to an employee (turned out to be her husband), and they started yelling at me. I did no damage to their POS car (mine's a POS, too). When I called the manager, the manager had no apology for my being treated that way. YOU LOSE, MIKE'S!! After spending a few... read more

Not worth my time – I was on my way home when I stopped in for a quick bite to eat at the Mike's Drive In at 17th and SE Tenino. It was a Tuesday afternoon around 2pm--not peak rush hour by any means. Unfortunately my quick bite turned into a 20-minute wait (actually 18 minutes. I wouldn't want it to seem as if I exaggerated). 'Bob' the Fedex guy, an apparent regular, came in after me and got his food before me. That's never good customer service. My garlic fries sat on the counter for a few good minutes before my cheeseburg... read more

long wait, so-so shake, but at least I didn't get the moldy hotdog bun – Don't be confused, this is a drive-in, NOT a drive-through... no food in a hurry here. I was at Mike's recently on a Tuesday afternoon, hoping for a quick drink while on my way to an appointment. One person in line in front of me. I ordered a small butterscotch shake and a small diet coke. They took 15 minutes, which seemed especailly long to me. The shake tasted like vanilla. I think there wasn't a thorough mix. I would have forgiven the wait if the sh... read more

Best burgers for the price – These are the best burgers you can get without either making them yourself or going to a spendy restaurant. Actually, they're better than most burgers at restaurants. And honestly, they aren't that expensive. A burger and small fries are $5.25. Although that is more expensive than many fast food chains, the food tastes SO much better, the quality of the food is higher, the food is less greasy, and you can watch it being made. McDonalds, Burger King, Jack in the Box... they just don't even compare... read more

A Sellwood Staple! – I still remember my first visit to the original Mike's in Milwaukee when I was very young. I remember being impressed with the burgers, but most of all with the milkshakes. Nothing has changed food-wise at this A&W turned Mike's here in Sellwood, except that now I'm an adult and I have to pay for my food. I've reviewed this place before in 2002, and the prices have just gone steadily upwards, against my advice. They'd get a lot more business with cheaper food... Anyway, I've ranted about that before. Wha... read more

Old Fashioned the New Trend – I moved to Sellwood in Fall '05 and we had to try Mike's Drive-In. It's right down the street, why not? So, being gay might not have been the best thing, the customers we're somewhat... hickish? No matter, the burgers are OLD SCHOOL. Fat old pattys, big as* fries in a basket meals. It really looks like they cooked a meatwad on a grill in the back - AWESOME for burger lovers. Sure, it's more than McDonalds, but I'm fairly sure that the meat doesn't come prepackaged in uniform shapes!! The people ... read more

best burgers ever – I have been going to Mike's since I was a kid. By far the best burgers anywhere. Even better than in-n-out. Also, amazing milkshakes. My only complaint: no location on the westside.
