    Well deserved! I worked at Mike's in the 90s. He truly treats his employees as family.

    I live with Joe Louis son . ( owner of Joe Louis southern kitchen )even though johnyy is the face of southern kitchen, Joe Louis Jr . is the one who created this founding business inspite to continue to carry out his fathers outstanding legacy . I woulda loved to see Joe as I had mentioned before to Joe about seeing the advertisment and for him to be the face of the commerical because of the hard work and dedication and effort he has put forth into the company. And buildimg the company up and stabling the standards of the restaurants . but we won't always see the behind the scene person will we ? . But we also love you to johnny I'm not knocking johnny for being the the face of the comericial . he is funny, could tell he is a peoples person, is in the resturant -daily- practically half owners \ general manager of southern Louis kichen & joe runs its from a far. I thought to myself for a second and said " but let's not forget, - real bosses has workers get the job done for them . they usually aren't in the field but more back stage getting all the hardship done with promotions like this. Yes johnny owns somewhat of the business but it really originally originated through an idea Joe believed would happened and no one believed in the idea at first initially. Now Everyone is on the bandwagon of joes success. Everyone has an opinion this is mine. Johnny gets credited daily - I'm just saying- Joe Louis Barrow Jr deserves his flowers and recognition as well. not the not the son he had with his first wife . but the son he and his 3rd wife Martha and Joe Louis raised, who I officially consider my forever family .I currently live with son of Joe Louis junior owner of Joe Louis southern kitchen restaurant located in Detroit Michigan. Didnt know how much his father held such an amazing title and had such a big impact on society(when i first met him ) till he told me , to look up some documentarys on UA-cam about his father and to really do some research about it . and boy I could definitely assure you how impressed and feel inspired and touched by his fathers story. You dont come across a famous boxer son that held the champion title for almost 20 years, advocated for the army as far as investing inn supplies and equipment to best serve our lovely country during hardship war that was going on . he was the first African American that was basically allowed to participate in golf and made it accessible for other African Americans to compete in golf tornamets which is also very inspiring . also to mention he first came out in the 30s -50s , I was born in 1999 and let me tell you, alot of my generation lacks the history within sports , life events, not understanding the hardship hurt and pain and lacking the knowledge of what was goimg on during that time in America . Society was so different back then you could tell by the authenticity of one who was raised during this error rather verses someone raised during this time error ) this generation lacks authenticity, growth in knowledge. And I could go down the list forever and hell u could even include the music on top of everything my generation lacks. My roommate, Joe Louis BarrowJr. Has mentioned to me one day to watch documentaries about his father and wow I am impressed with how his father was such a role model and inspiration during the time he boxed and held that title and made other opportunities possible for him , "in a white mans world". . Joe Louis story shoould be taught in school as far as being bought up durim black history month and much to be mentioned and told about his story to this generation of children . I know he has a street named after him in Manhattan . but there should be a holidat for Joe Louis to honor his legendary legacy. maybe then kids now a days ; they could Learn somethin. But anyways shout out to my roommate Joe Louis Jr . and I advise everyone to go check out his restaurant in Detroit. They serve delicious food and its almost impossible to get in always have to make a prior reservation. Lucky for me, I know the owner of Joe Louis southern kitchen located in Detroit and is in charge of his father Joe Louis estate. Not much is mentioned about his son ( my roommate ) in the documentaries or even the southern kitchen commercial ( which I personally think he should be ) but he sure is making his come up and making his way up to success, a lot of opportunities is opening up in his life for success currently. He has a great amount of perseverance and drive to his goals in life Joe Louis Barrow Jr. ( Joe Louis son) my roommate , Is such an outgoing individual always business oriented, always ten steps away from his original plan and overall a great father and friend of mine and I will always appreciate the fact of meeting Joe Louis Jr. And learn about his father's legacy and trials and tribulations he had to face during his time living . I can't say it enough , like I've mentioned earlier ,Joe Lois story should be told, preached, taught , or celebrated, his story is very inspirational .

    3 years ago my wife and I were heading to Ohio to pay respects to GySgt Robert L. Gilbert II. He was a young man from the Richmond area who joined my first platoon in the Marine Corps. He would later go on to bigger and better things but he also died heroically and tragically, serving and protecting. 20 years later, our platoon decided to reunite for the first time and to pay a visit to where Gil now rests. Aside from bringing us all back together, we also stumbled upon this “hole in the wall” looking restaurant and immediately fell in love and felt comfortable. It helped us break the ice, it helped us open up again and most importantly it made us happy and full and welcome. The following year, everyone unanimously agreed that we HAD to go back to Mikes Place. This time with a larger group. This March, we will be even bigger. Just wanted to give a HUGE shoutout to the best restaurant Ive ever been to around the world. See you guys in March! ❤️

    That's amazing! Been a big fan of Mike's Place since I first went to Kent State's main campus, and I try to go back there every time I visit friends and family back in Ohio. Great food in huge amounts from a vast and hilarious menu, and the place has to be seen to be believed! There's a starfighter parked in the parking lot, a castle tower function room that's topped with a catapult (which is aimed at a competing restaurant down the road), vehicles incorporated into the architecture, and all kinds of fantastic decorations from times gone by. Many, many happy memories of fun times at Mike's Place!
