Mike's On Main — Restaurant in Palacios

Based on my first visit.

A Hidden Gem in Palacios!

Mike’s On Main is a wonderful little café in the heart of Palacios. It's a cozy, family-owned place that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The decor is charming and full of personality—local photos, vintage coffee signs, and handmade touches everywhere.

The menu has everything from fresh coffee and iced drinks to breakfast and lunch items like egg sandwiches, burgers, and pancakes. Prices are very reasonable too. Everything we tried was made fresh and served with a smile.

One thing I loved was how organized and clean everything was, from the counter to the kitchen area. You can tell the owners put a lot of care into this place. There’s even a little shelf with local goodies, shirts, and community news—felt like a real small-town spot.

If you're ever driving through Palacios, stop by Mike’s On Main. Whether you're in the mood for a coffee, ice cream, or a hearty lunch, this place will leave you...

This was my second stop in to Mike's on Main in two months. Today they had Salmon burgers for Lent, however I had the cheese burger. The bun was a fresh cornmeal bun toasted on the flattop. The burger was a blended brisket smashed and cooked to medium. Juicy and tender with a perfect crust under a completely melted slice of sharp cheddar. Dressed with fresh veggies. Ask for the grilled onions. They don't offer fries, but they do have home made sides. I opted for the potato salad. Rich creamy mayo based lightly tossed with al dente potato slices. The Breve was a nice medium house roast, and their black iced tea was refreshing. Mike and Nancy are a pleasure to meet. If you're ever near Palacios for breakfast or lunch make it a point to stop in. Next time I believe I'll try the reindeer dog shipped in...

I wasn't planning to eat here but very glad that I did. Ordered the hamburger all the way...best hamburger I've had in a long time. We ordered the tenders off the kid's menu and the portions were generous and prepared perfectly. The service was wonderful, very friendly, but that's what you get in this town, no less. I will def be going back again. Too bad Anthony Bourdain wasn't able to visit...
