I tried to make reservations at 9:02 when they opened for the year to take reservations and I reserved 23 people . At 9:07 when I clicked enter they were sold out for Friday and Saturday. We have been going for 16 years but this new reservation policy will end my patronizing of Mike's Farm. I had to contact 23 family members who wanted to go and now I guess I can call and tell them the sad news that mikes farm has gotten too big for their britches and don't really care for long time patronage. Good bye Mike's Farm.

We came here often. The last couple times had just gone downhill. We tried again today and it was worse: Service was REALLY slow. Food was awful. Chicken looked like pigeon wings and were tough. I thought well it’s the first serving so maybe that’s why. Nope second plate of chicken came out and it was the same.

We vacation from New York and stayed in North Topsail. Looked to see was in the area and saw Mike's was on our way to Jacksonville, NC. What a gem of a find. We didnt pay attention to when the restaurant t open at 4pm but our unplan worked out. Got there at 2pm to leisurely shop in the gift shop and so many treats to purchase. With a wine slushie in hand sat in the rocking chairs, in the shade, on the porch. Then they came for the restaurant, the cars pulled up and when we took the first bite we understood. The food was beyond declious. Buffet style bought to your table. My four sisters and I ate like Queens, we ate, exhale, breathe then ate. You take no food with you. I highly, highly recommend Mike's. If you are in the area it is a must stop. If you are not in the area, plan a trip.

Mike’s Farm offers not just good food at fair prices, but a complete experience that goes beyond just dining. With a shop featuring local crafts and gifts, delicious fudge, and fun tractor rides, a visit to Mike’s Farm is a must for anyone exploring Eastern North Carolina.

Unfortunately, the food is not worth the $. Instant mashed potatoes, canned “limp” green beans, tough biscuits, and artificial tasting desserts. Chicken was good as well as the pork tenderloin. Service is good, and fun atmosphere.

Food quality has definitely dropped over the years! The soft ham biscuits were as hard and tough as hockey pucks, the pork was extremely dry and overwhelmingly salty, they brought a small plate mostly of tiny wings to a 7 person table and worst of all their famous mac n cheese came out not once but twice overcooked and burnt on the top.

Mikes Farm is always a good time. We had reservations this year for the holiday along with the hayride with christmas lights. 10/10, well worth it. Santa visited the kids during dinner and talked about their elf at home, the lights were amazing and the flag portion at the end was just beautiful. Their shop is full of so many goodies. Trying a new wine from them, but recently got habanero red raspberry jam, local honey, candied jalapenos, and some adorable kids items.

There is so much to do at this place. Make it a day trip. Spend the afternoon visiting the animals and farm equipment, then head inside the large shop for most things local to the area/NC and finish the day out with a family style meal in their restaurant. This is a very cool place for group meals as well. Staff and atmosphere were on point and welcoming.

Mike's Farm is an experience, not just a meal. First of all, you will have to wait for a table. That's just how it goes. However there are plenty of things to do and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the farm while you wait. And you won't have to wait too long. Family style meal, no menus to order from. Food is amazing. The mac and cheese is the best in the world. The holiday things they do are awesome for kids. I always enjoy an evening at Mike's Farm.

Excellent southern soul food. Great for larger family gatherings and outings with your peers at work. A flat rat of around $26 with a family style buffet. Literally the best Mac n cheese I've ever had. There's a community gift shop/farmers market with so many local products it's incredible! Bring quarters to feed the animals at the petting zoo!

Mike's is great. I've not always had stellar service here; for instance, once the server rushed us in and rushed us out which is not the best experience; and wait times can kill, but after all, it's Mike's, not McDonald's! Overall, the staff is great, the service is great, and I've never been disappointed with the food.

This is a fun family experience. There's good food served family style, and may I add, all you can eat. My personal favorites are fried chicken and what maybe the worlds best Mac and cheese. There's a great gift shop and bakery along with a petting zoo for the kids. There are seasonal hayride activities which I can only name a few, strawberry patch picking, pumpkin patch, and Christmas lights. Check the website for current details, I think you will enjoy your visit.

Our church had an evening of lighted Christmas hayride. Oh wow it was so nice to experience the themes and music as you sitting on a bale of hay. Then the family style food is always delicious. The ham biscuits started the meal. You have a choice of syrup, jam, jelly or eat plain. Then comes the fried chicken, Mac and cheese, fresh corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans. Oh you can keep eating until you are so full. Then dessert is banana pudding, cake, and cheesecake with various toppings. Everything was delicious.
