Mike's Place - Chatham

Great neighbourhood bar restaurant! Licenced patio, excellent variety of great food, including pizza, burgers, pastas, panzerotti, fish chips, wraps, onion rings, salads, apps, etc.Updated my review today as this visit was under COVID-19 Interior Dining Health Regulations.Upon arrival, sign in with contact info., sanitised hands masked prior to entering. Once seated, masks removed. All staff were continuously wearing masks! Plexiglass was added above the normal seatback divider, allowing back to back seating in the booths. I would definitely say all table seatings were more than the 3 metre requirement, which allowed greater comfort if any masked (required) customers walked between the tables. It did not feel that it was crowed at any time. Even the menu's were 2-sided photocopies, which are disposed of after use. Every single person not-seated(required), was wearing masks at all times!As usual, tbe food was top notch. This time I had the beer-battered fish chip($20.95). Good sized piece of Haddock, browned perfectly. Plenty of fries, coleslaw, seed-topped bread with a pad of butter. My cup of black coffee was flavourful, hot always full. The other 3 in our party were very happy with their meals (cheeseburg/ caesar salad, fettuccine with chicken/ carbonara) too, but both Ladies did require take-home containers! The bar selection is excellent.So if you would like to go out to dine in at a restaurant in Chatham feel very comfortable while enjoying excellent food, served by excellent servers, definitely consider Mike's Place!Updated again... the last day before more Covid restrictions end. Still one of the safest restaurants/bars around! Great lunch specials, same great food!Updated now that all Covid restrictions are gone! Arrived about 5pm seated at one of the last tables! Absolutely busy by 6pm there was a line of about 10 couples deep waiting for seating with the bar area, restaurant area most of the patio seating full as well. Even though things were busy, the staff was friendly attentive!!! Still a great place to eat!!!Perfect weather to enjoy the spacious patio for drinks, snacks /or meals!!!Vegetarian options: The only vegetarian options are salads!!!Parking: Shares a large parking lot with a variety store which allows ample parking even when busy!Kid-friendliness: Mike's welcomes families small children!Wheelchair accessibility: Mike's is completely handicap accessible with the exception of the entrance door is manually operated, but it is opened extremely easily with minimal effort to pull it open!

I'm not sure where to begin with this review. The panzerottis at Mike's Place are the best I have ever had! I have made a few stops while passing through Chatham on road trips, and I have never been disappointed. The service is amazing and the food is even better. I brought a friend here for the first time and he also agreed that it's the best panzerotti he's ever had. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by Mike's Place!

Great atmosphere, and delicious food. Friendly wait staff to help you decide from their huge menu:

Next we had a Panzerotti (which was great! , the Canadian Burger (was OK, nothing special and the Carbonara (good as well .Great atmosphere. Server was alright.
