As in the Manhattan restaurant?

Mike's Burgers on Central, I imagine.
Being he's asking in 5t thread +1
Going to Mikes tonight for the first time. What are the best things to order? What should I avoid?
I don't know all products but I found the place to be very chilled .
I enjoyed both the Philly steak sandwich and the pastrami burger .
Was told by the guy I bought a hot dog for that it was very god as well (they prob use a knockwerst sausage instead of a hot dog if it was that good)

Enjoy !

Most things are pretty good. I did not like their chili though. Tastes like it's been sitting all day (not in the good way)

Their breakfeast burger (im not sure what its called) is great also. Im a big fan of the place as the food is  fresh and tasty esp for a takeout style restaurant . Also, they give nice sized portions.
One other note, if you are getting a salad try getting a steak salad and for only a fee dollars extra you can also get baby chicken in your salad.

Which station? Near inwood there is seasons express. Lawrence, everything is at least 5-10 min walk. Cedarhurst has a bunch of options.

I actually thought it was pretty good but I think the one in city is better.
In 5t, mike's is probably a better bang for your buck IMO.

Traditions and holy schnitzel are also consistent and reasonably priced

I've been to Traditions before, and it's great. If only it was closer to the train.
