Big Mike’s

I love this place! Great home cooked food. Really reasonable prices for what you get.

Finally. I found true southern food in MB. You want the best fried chicken/​Mac n cheese /​fresh collards /​field peas /​cornbread and sweet tea? This is IT. I was also happy to see they had a good inexpensive selection of beers for $ 3 each.
The server, Mimi took good care of us with a smile. It was really cool to watch Big Mike on the line in their open kitchen. They all seemed to enjoy their work and the food coming out of the kitchen was heaping, hot and made with love. Can’t wait to go back

Had the blue plate special with BBQ Pigs Feet and 3 sides. The food was amazing, but the sides were a tad bit bland. The service was exceptional, and they made you feel at home. I’ll be coming back for sure! You can’t go wrong with the blue plate special!!!

I got the blue plate special which is an amazing deal! Every part of the plate was to die for. This is definitely the place to go if you are looking for some comfort food.

This was our 2^nd visit.
Loved it the 1^st time. The 2^nd time was average. If our second visit was the first visit, we probably wouldn’t have gone back again.
The service was really good and the people were really nice.

We were here first thing in the morning and waited for about 20 minutes before the place opened for the day, our waitress was extremely friendly and got our orders out within 5 minutes, we both had Blue Plate Specials with Fried Chicken. My plate consisted the Mashed Potatoes, Field Peas, Mac n cheese, every thing was utterly delicious, portions are huge so I couldnt fit everything in. Our other plate had potato salad, Beans and Hoppin Johns which were all again extremely tasty .
I wanted Chicken Bog as one of the Entrees and waitress told it would be about 20 minutes wait to get that done so we got fried chicken instead, Chef Mike got a bowl of chicken Bog out for us so that we could try which I thought was very nice of him .
Overall loved the food, love the people here and definitely going back on our visit to Myrtle Beach.

First time here. The parking lot is small but there is overflow parking. The inside atmosphere is little to be desired but the food is really good. I went with their small Blue Plate Special. I had the fried fish, mac and cheese and cabbage. The cabbage was a little peppery but flavorful. The mac and cheese was yummy. And the fish paired well with their tartar sauce.

Came here while on vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC after seeing this place on The Food Network. They are famous for there southern soul food.
The establishment itself is not big, it almost has a home feel to it (can maybe seat 30 people, 50 tops). The day we went Big Mike was there preparing the food. He even came up front a few times to interact with the patrons, which I thought was nice.
The food was fresh, and very good. They have everything you would expect at a soul food place.
The prices are extremely reasonable, and the portions are generous.
The parking lot is VERY small. Had me nervous someone might hit my car trying to maneuver there way out, luckily that didn’t happen.
Overall, I would recommend this place to others.

Read the reviews and all great ones were true! My family roots are from the south so it’s important to eat great food if my family is not preparing it.
With that being said if you LOVE good soul food go here you will NOT be disappointed Big Mike is doing it right!
Blue plate special $ 9.75 as recommended by all is an amazing deal! I had smothered pork chops (good but slightly salty), mac n cheese (good), collard greens (outstanding), sweet potatoes (delecious) and a side of potato salad (ok). My other half had Senior plate special $ 6.75 (no age restrictions) fried fish (outstanding) rice and gravy (good) and again outstanding collards. Bother meal also include cornbread and a drink!
If we were not leaving today I would be going back! Customers were diversified which was great to see!

The blue plate special is a great deal as you get the basic soul food favorites — fried chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and cornbread. The food is decent, but the lack of service was unfortunate. Service started out ok, but then it was near impossible to get a hold of our waitress to get drink refills and to pay with my credit card. I stayed an extra thirty minutes due to her ambivalent attitude. It seems that this establishment does not care that they wasted my time and likes conveying uncertainty to their customers. To summarize: good food, bad service.
