Food scene
We love it over at Mike’s. The food is fantastic. We love the selection of baked oysters, the fresh fish and the seafood pasta! The deserts are to die for. If you’re a Sauvignon Blanc lover, this is the spot for you! The owner also owns Thomas’s Donuts. One of my favorite things about Mike’s is atmosphere. Veteran owned. A local PCB staple you won’t want to miss.

A local PCB staple. Thomas’s offers lunch, shakes and ice cream, and of course a variety of 40 different donuts. The red velvet is the bomb! I recommend the cheeseburger if you’re looking for a quick bite for lunch.
