Mike's American - American restaurant in Springfield - 6210 Backlick Rd, USA

We came here this evening for dinner. This was a great choice to stop by. Parking is the worst I have ever seen. Be prepared to park across the street, and if you require handicapped parking, be prepared to park across the street also because there are only two parking spots for you. The atmosphere is a perfect setting for this place. It looks like an old industrial factory restored back to the modern day. For a crowded restaurant, the food came promptly and served hot and fresh. There were no complaints from our table. The service was perfect. The wait staff all came by to see if we needed anything. Our wait staff by the name of Andy was spot on and very professional. He made sure our table was satisfied and that we were not in need of anything. Thank you, brother, you were 💯 % on point tonight. We will definitely be back!!!! Also Mike since you don't offer military discounts, I had to take a star away from you!!!

We went there bc someone strongly recommended, but the dishes we ordered were not very special... very typical american food, that was it. the atmosphere was good and the server was very kind. A salad dish we ordered was on kinda dirty plate(greese everywhere), we asked to make a new one because I worried about potential contamination, they gladly made a new one (but the dish came out 20 min later, when others were done with their meals). The manager stopped by and explained that the dish was next to grilling station, that the reason for the greese. Understandable and it was all good.

Enjoyed dinner at Mike's with my kiddos. Our server Demetrius was fantastic and very attentive to all of our needs. Kids loved the fries. The red snapper fish was just okay... lacked flavor, just tasted like smoke. Our server brought us a few sauces which helped a lot. Kids Chicken tenders for my daughter were also very bland, only flavor was smoke. Parking is super challenging but easy to make a reservation and staff is really nice. Several bus boys came consistently to make sure our table was cleared. Desserts were tasty and Delicious!!

My brother from another mother took me to lunch at one of his favorite dining spots in the area. This Mike’s location is inside an old brick fire station and it has a great vibe. All the folks working here were very nice and polite. It had an old school feel to it, but with a more contemporary menu. I went with a protein loaded roasted chicken salad that was delicious and filling. Their unique bread bites were tasty. My brother had his favorite chopped salad along with creamy corn and crab chowder. We shared the zesty firecracker shrimp. They have a nice selection of beer, wine and mixed drinks if you do choose. I will certainly return some day.

Servers are great at tracking complicated orders (only been there with groups over 10) and reasonable requests. Always ordered the sirloin tip lime pasta myself and love it each time. Co-eaters typically order steaks which they rave about.

We went to Mike's for Christmas Eve dinner, and it was the perfect place for that. Beautifully decorated, great ambiance, and bustling with holiday cheer and decor. All the dishes we ordered were very good. The jambalaya pasta was flavorful and prepared well. The pork chop was juicy, the mashed potatoes melting in mouth,and the sauce complimented it very well. The Pecan crusted trout with Brocollini was prepared very well, and the flavor of the sauce was just right with the fish. My only suggestion is to spread the sauce evenly across the dish or give on the side. The sauce wasn't enough and not spread all over the filets...so the last part of my filets were completely without sauce. But that's just a very small thing. The servers were helpful and courteous. Price wise ... Yes, it is on the expensive side for regular visits but for a special occasion or holidays.. absolutely yes ! Happy Holidays, and thanks to you, we had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner.

Located in Springfield, Virginia is Mike's American Grill. First and foremost, the cuisine was excellent. You could tell they utilize some high-quality stuff because everything tasted so incredibly fresh. The meats were extraordinary, cooked to perfection. I finished off satisfying my sweet tooth. The white chocolate banana bread was delicious and it was one of the best sweets I’ve had. The atmosphere there was excellent as well. The ambiance, as well as the service, just enhanced the overall meal experience.

Arrived with a reservation and the bottom stair hostess said I needed to. Wait until my full party arrived instead of Asking if my party was with me (we drove together and they were All within 2 feet of me). The upstairs hostess was incredibly passive aggressive when I asked if there was any way we could sit at a different booth which was the same size. She indicated that that was for a table of six and you were a table for. The point is is that it was the same size booth had she simply said that specific table is reserved. We would have understood. We said okay and sat at the table where she put us, then we have a blonde hostess who had to be some kind of shift lead or maybe manager that came up and said I understand you all had an issue with your table. It was very aggressive. Aggressive it was very weird. We simply asked a question. We were told no and we moved on. There was no need for the upstairs hostess to communicate to this manager to come over to our table and aggress us. Our server Taylor was awesome and with my dietary restrictions there was a real manager who came up. We did not catch her name but she verified the dietary restriction and I'm sure food safety. The food was great but due to service I would not go back
