Hamburger Mike's- Melbourne, FL- 3.75 Stars “A hamburger by any other name costs twice as much.” – E. Esar Today my random name generator flashed a good ole American standard, Hamburger Mike's. It may not be fancy, but a good burger is hard to beat...in my book. With that in mind, I mentally prepared myself and headed OTB. Hamburger Mike's moved into this location and changed absolutely nothing from the previous owners. NOTHING. The only thing they did do was put up a menu sign with grossly underrepresented pictures of food items offered. I asked them why and no one had a clue other than to tell me that Coca-Cola gave them the sign for free. Free is almost always good. Sadly, the cashier is another in a long line of Gen-Zers you see reluctantly working (because, you know, the world actually owes them something...) and they always let the customer know how unhappy they are to be fortunate enough to have a job. I placed an order for a Southern childhood staple of a Fried Bologna Sandwich, a Cheeseburgers with the works and a side of fries. While awaiting my order, I noticed that the place was empty, though exceptionally clean. There was ample spacing, inviting lighting and a pleasing, relaxing décor throughout. I found the Fried Bologna Sandwich to be a perfect example of one of my childhood favorites. It was served flawlessly toasted white bread, crispy iceberg lettuce along with sliced onions and garden fresh tomatoes and impeccably fried...in one bite I was 7 years old again. Fun! The Cheeseburger was hand-formed and immaculately prepared. Served with crispy iceberg, fresh Onion, tomatoes and some pickles on the side, it was all a Cheeseburger aspires to be. The fries were freshly cut, deep-fried to a golden outside and had that just right doneness on the inside. The cook was on fire today! Hamburger Mike's is the epitome of The Big Boy's philosophy on serving food to the public. Great food doesn't require anything other than someone who cares about food to prepare, cook and serve it. And they obviously had this in spades. Whoever does the hiring here, deserves a raise. The Big Boy says, “If you are going OTB or live on the mainland and are looking for a better-than-average burger, or a good ole fashioned Fried Bologna Sandwich, Hamburger Mike's is the place to go!” #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningoutMore

Good service. Good food. A bit pricey. It's hard to say the burger and fries are worth $15. It was good and I do like to support local restaurants so I would recommend you give them a try.

I’d first like to say that every single worker in the restaurant was so kind and helpful. From the second I got in the parking lot they greeted me, helped me find a menu, and were super friendly. I appreciated this a lot as a...first time customer. The food itself here was in no means bad, We got a Philly cheesesteak and a burger. I just felt that the prices were really expensive… $13 for the cheesesteak, and $15 for a burger/fry meal. That’s the only reason to deter me from coming back. You just have to consider price before choosing to eat there.More
