FAIRHAVEN (WBSM) — One of the SouthCoast’s favorite family restaurants is closing down, but thankfully it’s only on a temporary basis.
Mike’s Restaurant, located on Huttleston Avenue in Fairhaven, has been serving up its famous prime rib, Italian dishes and seafood specialties since 1976, and has become a go-to spot for those looking for big portions of quality food at a reasonable price.
On Wednesday, Mike’s posted something to its Facebook page that made more than a few hearts skip a beat at first.
“To all of our loyal customers here at Mike’s Restaurant. We are announcing that we will be closing starting Monday, October 6,” the post began, but luckily continued on with some words of relief, “for renovations and repairs.”
According to Mike’s, the restaurant will be open for its normal business hours through Sunday, October 5. That means tonight until 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m.
How Long Will Renovations Last?
The Mike’s Restaurant Facebook page and website will have further updates about when the restaurant will reopen, but those looking for a delicious cut of prime rib or some king crab legs should hurry in before the end of the weekend to get their fix.
No Fried Food? No Problem
Fun fact: Mike’s doesn’t have a fryolator, so it doesn’t offer fried seafood, French fries or anything else that would need to be deep-fried. Yet that hasn’t stopped them from becoming a SouthCoast staple.
