What Our Guests Say
Really good breakfast and lunch food!
- Jon Finn
My go to brunch spot where I can safely eat delicious breakfast, lunch, and baked goods with my family and friends! As a celiac, I’m so grateful for Big Mike’s! All my family and friends I’ve taken here always rave about how delicious the food is (and they wouldn’t be able to tell it’s all gluten free). This is a regular dining experience I’m so grateful to be able to enjoy with my loved ones. Thank you, Big Mike!

Came in after they closed and they were still nice. Enough to let me purchase a juice and muffin.
Both of which were completely delicious.
