Mike’s

I work at VCU and since I have worked there I have falling in love with Mikes BBQ chicken sub. The slaw is awesome and sometimes I miss out because of late lunch.
I changed my lunch for this reason alone

I work around the MCV area and am starting to try all the food trucks that line Marshall St at lunch hour. Mike’s was next in line and I got a taco salad. I expected a full salad with seasoned ground beef, but in reality it really is like a glorified, «healthy» version of nachos. I liked it though, and it is something I will order again. The beef was well seasoned and there is a good amount of food on there to keep you full. I also got the chilli lime chips and I’m hooked. The guys who run the food truck are also very friendly, and the line moves pretty quick. Someone here said they now do online ordering, I might do that one day to save some time.
They take both cards and cash.

Generous portions. Very flavorful. Well composed wraps. Very efficient staff.

Everyone who works at mike’s is so nice and friendly! You get lots of food for a great price and they actually just started online ordering too! For someone who rarely carries cash, I love the fact that Mike’s accepts credit cards.
I never really deviate from the philly cheesesteak, chicken taco salad, or chicken bacon ranch. The real hero however is the homemade chilli lime chips. After the first couple of bites, I wasn’t sure if I really liked it… slowly but surely, I became addicted and now I never go without it.
If you’re on the MCV campus and without lunch, you should definitely try out Mike’s.

Mike’s is AWESOME! I imagine a place on earth where I can just lay in a bed of wonderful food– pretty much anything at Mike’s is in my dream. I have eaten his food since he began and it never gets old. Mike revamps his menu and caters to what you request. He also is open to suggestions of new menu items. Love him!

This cart is right in front of my office in Sanger Hall at MCV so its convinient when I don’t feel like going to the cafeteria but that is pretty much where the good things about Mikes stops. The employees are not nice. The food is not worth the $. Sandwiches are mediocre at best. Don’t ever bother getting the salads, I threw mine away after two bites.
Seriously, step up your game Mike.

Buffalo Chicken and Cajun Chicken subs/​wraps are to die for! Great service too.

Mike’s is my new lunch time spot. Just started working downtown and a co-​worker treated me to Mikes for lunch. I had the chicken salad wrap which has me coming back since. A wrap with a soda and chips for less than $ 6 can’t be beat.
Throw in the friendly service with the freshly prepared wrap makes Mike’s a winner.

This place was great! I was visiting RIchmond to see some Civil War history and my friend and I wanted to try one of the food carts outside of MCV (we have some friends who have been down here and they recommended them to us). I’m really glad we tried Mike’s since the food was super cheap and really tasty. We both got their special that day, (a ranch chicken wrap) and we both really liked it. Definitely a great food cart!
Be forewarned, if you sit outside the hospital to eat your lunch, the squirrels will pursue you and they have no fear!

I am a huge food cart fan and that is one of the few perks of taking classes on the MCV campus. Between 11 and 2, Marshall st. is full of food carts of every variety. For the longest time I passed Mike’s cart because of the long line it always has. One day I got lucky and was there before the line got to long and I finally got to experience their grub. I got the crispy chicken bacon ranch and some of their homemade cool ranch tortilla chips on the side. It was pretty tasty, although next time I would ask for less ranch because they kind of went overboard with it, but my favorite part were the chips!

First and foremost… Mike’s has been in the MCV area since 1991.
BAM…I’m almost immediately sold in wanting to try this place. I work down at VCU Health System and it has taken me almost FOUR friggin’ years to try this place… and ever since that day that I ordered my very first Grillen Chicken Sub with Jalapenos on it… I can’t keep away.
This place is seriously a great place for lunch on-​the-​go. With a steady menu of sub/​sandwiches and tons of specials to choose from, you can’t go wrong with almost anything.
I almost always order a grilled chicken sub and get them to add jalapenos to give it that extra awesomeness you just really need during a boring work day.
Another one of my favorites is whenever they offer their chili. Nom Nom Nom… it’s so good.
This place is like the mail, they are there rain, wind, snow, sleet, etc… except the only difference is that Mike’s actually does come… the mail doesn’t.
Take care and savor it up!
