I looked up from my desk at The Rainmaker Institute yesterday afternoon, my attention drawn to the exclamations coming from two of my colleagues.

“Man, that was good!”,   It turns out that they had cheese steaks from Mike’s Burgers, Cheese Steaks and Ice Cream, located near our office in the Gilbert Town Center.  Now, our Director of Sales is a big guy, and he said, “At 6′6″ and 295 pounds, you know I’ve have a few cheese steaks, so for me to say this place is good…”

(I’m a Philly born & raised gal, so I’ll be taste testing this afternoon and updating this post a bit later!)

Mike’s Burgers, Cheese Steaks and Ice Cream has the look & feel of the malted shop on “Happy Days”, with the old-school warmth, hospitality and aromas of great food radiating.

Connect to Mike's Burgers on Facebook

His online platforms aren’t in full swing just yet, but do show him some love by Liking Him on Facebook .  (His page isn’t branded just yet — see, ol’ school goodness!!)

You can check out a really nice article about the restaurant’s re-launch in

The Arizona Republic.

Mike’s will be adding family special event nights, like family night where kids eat ree, two-for-one burgers, and $1 Scoop Wednesdays!

Owner, Mike Canzona impressed me so much when I met him, that talking with him got my creative muse in action.  I’ll be adding faves to my Phoenix Hot Spots page as I continue on my new adventure of life out west.  Stay tuned!
