Love the Philly Cheesesteak and garlic fries but can never make it there before 3pm. Huge bummer they haven't extended their hours. Even by just an hour so the high school kids could go - seems like a missed opportunity.

We were in Los Angeles for the day on a layover so we decided to hang out in the El Segundo area. While walking down Main Street our plan was to eat and drink at as many local places as we had time for. First stop for grub was Big Mike's because they opened at 10:30am. We ordered a six inch steak and cheese with grilled onions and sweet peppers. We watched our sandwich being made and then it was delivered to the table steamy hot and fresh. The bun was the perfect "back east" Philly bun, soft and pillowy and it was loaded with tasty shaved steak and loads of gooey cheese. We were the first ones there but by the time we were done eating the place was filling up. Definitely a good first stop for food.

Where is the cheese on the Philly Cheese steak I ordered? I saw and taste a little cheese on it but it is not a Philly cheese steak. That should be called Philly steak to be honest. I will go to the Philly Cheese Steak Restaurant that I know which is Huntington Beach California. It is a good Philly Steak sandwich.

Solid sandwich spot. Chill staff. Alright space. Always get the spicy peps. Not gonna blow your nostrils out but it's a lovely little slap in the face of flavor town.

I've passed this little spot many times while I'm at work and unfortunately I've missed it due to my work hours but this day I was on a mission for something new. My taste buds where craving something than my usuals so i came to big mikes. I made it with maybe 40mins till close which worked out but first thing coming in you got a very clean restaurant with a girl in the front greeting you with a smile and excellent customer service she recommended the popular Philly cheesesteak which I turned down when I saw the steak combo lol I'm a fan of mushrooms so that was a no brainer for me. While waiting I sat down and they have a nice autograph McNabb jersey hanging on the wall nice and framed. GO BIRDS! I waited no more than 6 mins and was on my way back to work before my lunch was over. So the service was fast. I got to work eager to try my new sandwich spot so I sat and unraveled my new little treat. I took my first bite and WOW so much flavor the bread was nice and soft the meat was so flavorful the cheese added such an amazing creaminess and a wonderful earthiness from the mushrooms and let me tell you the bread soaks up all the juices from the meat it was a wonderful experience. I think next time I will definitely get the Philly cheesesteak or even the combo with the bell peppers and the onions because I feel like it was missing that freshness and crunch from the veggies I give my experience a 8/10 just because I missed out on those sandwich toppings which would have definitely elevated my experience! Great spot give it a try !

Generally decent portions, but not always accurate with the order. Friendly staff, but sometimes everyone behind me in line gets their food before me.

Dined in on 1/15/24. Big Mike's is one of our favorite places to eat when we are in El Segundo. Most especially after playing volleyball at ES park. The service is always friendly. The ambiance is relaxing and clean. We always order the Philly cheesesteak. Everything is great. The only suggestion would be to make the cheesesteak a little more tasty. It lacked flavor but could be just yesterday. We did enjoy our meals. The fries were fresh. It was so good that we ended up ordering 2 orders of fries. The onion rings were also good, crispy and fresh. The bread is soft. Love how they pack up the sandwiches. Prices are reasonable as well. Located on Main Street and offers parking in the back. We will definitely be back as this has lots of nostalgic memories for me.

I feel weird paying for food here because they let kids come in and steal stuff right in front of everyone, and no one does anything about it. So sick of seeing thieves everywhere.

Place was okay, I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich but it had more chorizo than actual steak.

Food good. I recommend the pastrami! Don’t get a drink from the fountain. I believe there’s mold coming from it.
