Picture a bustling eatery where every steak is hand-cut with pride and the Gulf's freshest seafood is on display. This is Big Mike's, an Alabama legend, where the warmth of a community hub meets the excellence of fine dining. We had the delight of sitting down with Mike Cole, the co-founder of this culinary gem, as he walked us through the remarkable journey from a single location in Thomasville to a family of six beloved establishments across the state. With passion in his voice, Mike revealed how his dual loves for education and cattle ranching have been the secret ingredients to the restaurant's revered steaks.

As Mike recounted the early days of bussing tables and the invaluable connections made along the way, his commitment to exceptional customer service was unmistakable. He shared anecdotes that capture the essence of what makes Big Mike's not just a place to eat, but a destination for creating lasting memories. If you're hungry for a story that's seasoned with hard work, community spirit, and a dash of Southern charm, this conversation is one to savor. Join us for an inspiring look at the dedication to craft and quality that has etched Big Mike's into the heart of Alabama's culinary map. #GNPNorthport #BigMikesSteakhouse #BigMikes #Steakhouse #TuscaloosaSteak #TuscaloosaRestarants #Tuscaloosa #Steak # #grilling #hamburger #steaknight  #chef  #foodgasm #instagood #tbone   #seafood #finedining #italianfood #grilled #tomahawksteak
