Great Chili, Great Atmosphere
Friday, December 09, 2005
This place has burger, dogs, pasta and assorted other menu items all slathered with a very healthy dose of chili. And while the chili is great, the character of the place makes it worth a visit all by itself. You really get a feel for old ballard eating at Mike's. The bombed out look of the neighborhood and the espn classic bowling playing on the TV make you feel a little like you are in the 50's without all the stupid 1950s kitsch. So take a ride out to Mike's for lunch, it's worth the drive.
