Big Mike's Soul Food

Clearly a local favorite. Big Mike's offers the usual Southern fare: potato salad, baked mac and cheese, Cole slaw, greens etc. The Blue Plate Specials offer the best value on any given day. The service was slow though the usual crowds weren't there. It's also a family affair with Big Mike's son behind the counter. The main proteins make these meals: the fried chicken was very good; the chopped barbecue (pork) comes in a sweeter sauce than one would expect from Carolina barbecue. The store is also a fixture and sponsor of many community activities, as displayed on the walls. Big Mike happens to be the local council member. There's adequate parking. Parts of the restaurant are wheelchair accessible but not the restrooms. The restrooms are clean! They take all major credit and debit cards with identification and now have a loyalty program.

This is only my second time here and I love it! It was very busy but we got seated in good timing. Very friendly staff and great food specials. We got the blue plate special and the fried chicken was crispy and delicious and the green beans are the best I've had. They have delicious sweet tea too! I can't wait to come back and try something else! Really good southern food! Love it!

Lives up to its name, very very satisfying,flavorful and full of soul. Staff was very attentive and friendly . Not a very big spot, but isn't that where the best food dwells. Will certainly be my go to spot when I come back to myrtle beach........ try em out you won't be disappointed
