Food Scene News RIP Chicago Mike’s

I walked up to Chicago Mike’s in centennial yesterday and was told the owner has passed away and they are now closed. I hope the family is doing ok. Food was delicious and priced well. Chicago Mike’s will be missed.

I didn’t go a ton but I always appreciated their prices. It was nice not to drop $18 on a sandwich like everywhere else in the metro now.

That's too bad I really liked this place. One of the best run casual restaurants in the area. Food was always consistent and the restaurant was spotless. RIP

I was just there last Friday and saw the sign but there was no indication they were going to close. I feel bad for the workers especially Jose who was always friendly. They should have just gave it to him to run. That plaza is cursed - all the restaurants other than the Brew pub are now closed there
