Mike's Pizza Steakhouse - Ottumwa

We tried Mike's Pizza about a month ago. I had the French dip and fries and my son had a pepperoni pizza. Both were very delicious. Then a couple weeks later we went back and we both had pizza and cheese balls. I was fairly disappointed at the price in the end the actual was over $50 for two pizzas and an appetizer. Although we liked what we had the Quattro with no olives was not worth the price they charged neither were the cheese curds fried for $8 on a small dinner plate. We will have to think seriously about going back again.

I ordered the salmon dinner and as one of my sides I chose the rice pilaf. I chose rice pilaf but that is not what I got. They served me plain white rice that didn't even taste like it had been salted. I asked the server for a lemon wedge then squeezed that over the rice. After a few generous shakes of grated parmesan and black pepper I had something with flavor but it still wasn't rice pilaf. The salmon was a bit overcooked but that happens at a lot of places and at least it still had flavor. I didn't mention anything to the server because I was just visiting the area from out of state and who knows if I will ever be in the area again but my friend wasn't too happy with his lasagna either so if I ever make it back Mike's will not be on the agenda.

Got there and only 3 other tables there. Salad came after meal. I had a gyro and the pitas was doughy, our appetizers were left in the fryer way too long. I have ate here many times and never was like this

So a very satisfied delicious menu. large staff (especially chloe! . clean modern interieur. this is 1 of my top 3 iowa restaurants

The food was great! We went on Friday night the wait for the table was not bad as we had a party of 6. After ordering dinner we waited over an hour for our meal. It did give our family time to catch up, however we had a 4 year old that was challenging as he was very hungry. If you plan on eating here give yourself a good two hours to spare.
