Wow what a real great place. Clean, neat, cozy and family friendly. Loads of parking and easy access. Steaks are unbelievably good and reasonably prices. Always cook to perfection. Salads are very good. All sides are very good. I suggest the mashed potatoes.

I have to say, the cheesesteaks I've eaten at this deli are comparible to Philadelphia! Call me crazy but I'm telling you Ray and Mikes has the best cheesesteaks north of philly. Chopped steak with all the toppings, fresh soft rolls and friendly service. The place is nothing special to look at just your basic deli in the Quinnipiac College area of Hamden. All the chips and drinks to choose from with a huge variety of other sandwiches small, medium and giant. Keep in mind there is no where to sit, so plan on taking it to go. We will be back for sure!

We had a very enjoyable dinner. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. They offered a very nice menu- appetizers,drinks, salads, burgers, soups, sandwiches and wraps, pasta dishes, fish and steak and desserts . We started with Asian spareribs and a small Caesar salad- both were very good. We both ordered Bison burgers- I had a side of broccoli and my husband added mushrooms for the burger and tater tots. We enjoyed all and everything was very fresh and tasty. In addition we had very good service.

A good place to have a couple of drinks, catch a game and get some wings. A reasonable selection of bottle and draft beers. Good happy hour specials and a friendly staff. Ample parking. One drawback, when they run their wing special the place can be three deep at the bar...

Met some friends there as it was between both homes. What a delight, great waitress, Lisa M, and the menu was terrific. Everything we ordered was delicious. Their portions are very generous and the chef does a great job with the sauces. The seafood special was amazing with lobster, shrimp and scallops, the broiled scallops were delicious and came with very nicely cooked vegetables and rice pilaf and the chicken soup was delicious and truly home made. The seafood fradiavlo was great! Will definitely look forward to going back!

Nice but clueless staff. Waitress who confuse orders. Low quality food. Hectic atmosphere. Poor value for the money.

A real good experience. I go at least once a month. I never had a bad meal here. Food is cooked to perfection and plentiful. Burgers are super special. All meat dishes are very high quality. Fish is average and salads are good. Great bar and wine list. Wait staff is average. Prices a little high.Parking is very limited. Same owner as Eli's Pizza across the street.

Used to be terrific now it's living on it's past. My last 4 visits were 2 OK 2 burnt or over cooked and greasy. Wait staff over worked or talk to friends. Kind of dirty at times. I've stopped going.Len, Harsh is an understatement of your response and review but, I guess everyone has a bad day. We are not dirty and this review is unfair to say the least. Small businesses get the shaft next to the chain stores where the saying âyou get what you get and you canât get upsetâ comes to mind. You, cannot complain at the chain store because, it wonât get you anywhere and you cannot affect them the way you are trying to affect this place. For Small businesses on the other hand itâs a different ball game all together. The owners and the same familiar employees are there for years and try to give as much personal attention to each client as they can but, seeing as though itâs busy itâs difficult. We apologize that your experience with us has ended I wish you couldâve given us the chance to resolve the situation rather than take this approach.

We're grateful to have Mickey's in our neighborhood, a good restaurant with an excellent and varied menu. Pay particular attention to the daily specials, especially the soups. The chef and his crew are wonderful.

Mikro is on the A list. Itâs a great casual spot to grab good quality food and drink without breaking the bank. The newer spot is roomy and inviting . Love the house special Manhattan and their burger is my personal favorite. The management is very fortunate to have a lot of great staff. Katelyn is THE BEST .. a server with always a smile and her happy demeanor is infectious. There is also a man who waits on our table who is excellent as well, just canât remember his name.. try this spot.. you wonât be disappointed!
