Winkler's newest steakhouse hopes to become a unique dining option for local residents.

Mr. Mikes officially opened on Tuesday.

"It's been a long road to get to this point, but it's super exciting," Spokesperson Kevin Braun says.

He notes many have voiced the need for a steakhouse in the Winkler market.

"That got the ideas rolling," Braun says.

However, along with great food comfort and relaxation has been a priority. The restaurant also offers board games for diners to try while waiting for their meal.

Located North of PTH 14, Braun has been a key figure in the continued commercial development of the Northeast corner of the city with the Petro-Can gas bar and adjoining Taco Time.

"It feels very satisfying to be at this point," he says.

A number of guests were invited for a dry-run leading up to the official opening
