dbTraveler Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I had heard there was a new owner of Big Mikes Hamburgers (Chalong Circle) so i went to check it out. I have to say it was the best burger I have had in Phuket. The new owner has made some changes. The quality of meat is better. the burgers are bigger. The fries were the same (good) but he says in a few days he will have new fresh cut fries. Personally the thing I liked the most was the burger comes with a deep fried onion ring. If i remember correctly the new name will be "Steve 0's" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I stopped going to Mike's as I thought the burgers too soggy/greasy. The rings are great. Walked by about 17.30 today and I saw a farang guy directing some workers to the signs. Noticed that the for sale signs were gone. Remarked to my wife that maybe this was the new owner. Have to say that for the last few months as we walk by I have also remarked to my wife how quiet it was at the burger place. And the Chalong Pier road has gone ever so quiet these past 10 days.... I'll definately give the new owner's burgers a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We walk past the Come On bar on way to Chalong Pier end & back each evening about 16.45 out and 17.30 back. Usually see the girls and about 6 drinkers. Today only the 8 or so girls ... no punters ... yet. Same with all the other bars. Really quiet at that early hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Used to get 2 onion rings on the side with the burger (in the price). Bit disappointing if the rings are not the same.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the onion ring taste quite terrible nowadays, 2 out of 4 had no onions in it, just fried powder with a hole in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YaiJung Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Good to hear that Mike's is open again. Hopefully the new owner will make sure his staff keeps the Pla Chem out of the deep fat fryer when he isn't around. All it takes is once...

amyb Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 i had a mediocre burger at big mike's and there was definitely no service with a smile. i used to think fatty's had one of the best burgers on the island, but i have changed my mind. on the way to nai harn beach, next to the petrol box before the 7-11 there is a restaurant called "hen chef". for 95 baht, you get an unbelievable burger, french fries and salad. it's the best burger i have had in phuket...go and give it a try and let me know what you think.

I am pretty sure it is the same guy (Steve). He said he had a restaurant in Patong.

flamingtodd Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Never met Steve or Stevo for that matter, but I had a Chilidog and Chili Fries yesterday and the Chili recipe has been changed, and it is way too spicy. Borderline Unedible. I did not move here for the spicy food, so it WAS nice to have a break from the norm, but Mike made good Chili, which is my reasoning for ever going. Someone PM me when this new boss goes tits up, I wanna give it a shot. todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggybear Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have to say it was the best burger I have had in Phuket. In Nai Hairn we have this place called The Kitchen Grill. It's on the road toward the beach. Their jumbo burger is excellent, a monster, not expensive, complimentary salad bar too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what happened to Steve-O's (formerly Scottie's) in Patong ? Which Scottie's bar in Patong. The one on Sai Nam Yen ? That place was originally opened by a Scottish guy, long time ago a professional football player with one of the Edinburgh teams. I know Scottie's was bought and sold many times over the years, now lost the Scottie name. Where does Steve-O figure in all that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianmonkey Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well. i tried the chili dog/newyork dog and they still taste awesome. Good to know. Also to whoever the old thaivisa member that was there today trying to hit on my gf saying she looks nice and showing a weak amount of baht. Might want to keep trying to impress little bargirls instead of girls who's never had a boyfriend making less than 100$ us an hour, she's still laughing at the pathetic masterpiece of a fat old dude trying to hit on a woman that's accompanied by showing 6k baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
