Mike's is nothing more than a culinary flub,
Meaning he serves up the worst tasting grub.
He is quite adept, however, at giving a great snub.
Mike's will hopefully go down the drain of the tub.
I amazingly caught these guys when they were open for business. 1:45pm on a Wednesday. I ordered a cheeseburger and a drink, and I asked about their highly confusing hours. So I found out the straight dope about Happy Hour: The website says, "HAPPY HOUR DAILY 3pm-6pm!!!" Being that they close at 3pm on Mondays, 5pm on Tuesdays, and are not open at all on the weekends, you can see why I was confused. Apparently in Mike's bizarre world, *daily* means Wednesday through Friday. Daily. Yeah. Makes perfect sense, guys.
I was disappointed in the burger when it was first delivered to me. It was nothing but meat and cheese on a bun. No lettuce, tomatoes, nor mayo. Just cheese and meat. What's this? Oh, look right behind me... there's a self-serve condiment counter! Okay, no problem. So I loaded up my burger with lettuce (shredded, awesome), and rancid Kraft mayo (Hellman's beats all). These toppings improved the taste of the burger only slightly, so I was still disappointed. The large circumference of the burger was its only redeeming factor.
Oh, and Mike's apparently sells crappy-ass t-shirts and baseball caps with their logo on them [see pic]. $15 for one of the shirts, $20 for some other shirt. Or, you could spend $25 on a Mike's Pub baseball cap! No idea why a baseball cap costs more than a freaking t-shirt. I hope ol' Mike isn't expecting to make money with his clothing advertising. Having eaten there once, I wouldn't want to advertise that stupid mistake via t-shirt to everyone else in Austin.
Mike's Pub? Puhleeeeeaaase... Mike's Flub, more like.
