I have been to this restaurant several times in the past years and always had great food and service we went there last night and it was a great disappointment. We sat outside with the flies on dirty chairs and table. Had to ask the waitress to clean it all before we could even think of ordering food. All in... More

Food was average at best. Plain brown rice, frozen corn, average and bland seafood. Service however was horrible. Waiter was apathetic from the beginning and bordered on rude by the end of the meal. Would never return!

We stopped at this restaurant based on a recommendation of a local as good seafood that isn't fried. That's exactly what you will get. The appetizer shrimp was the best part of our meal. I had a salad with a tuna steak on it that was above average and the other dishes our family had we're all above average. The... More

OMG.....the worst seafood restaurant that I have ever eaten at!!!! The atmosphere and the drinks (even though pricey) were the only good things. The hostess had a bland personality, but our male server was very nice. We ordered the steamed oysters as our appetizer, which we had to shuck ourselves as they were very difficult to open, which is a... More

My wife and i had not been to Michael's Seafood Restaurant in several years. Tonight we went back. Since our last visit Michael's won three National Chowder Cook-offs, held in Boston. They were then eliminated from entering again, as the rules eliminates any restaurant which has won three times. Michael's did it in three (3) consecutive years. We are convinced... More

Had the scallop appetizer. The presentation of the 5 large scallops was beautiful. They were perfectly cooked! The accompanying sauce was delicious. The King Crab Legs came with amazing mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and the corn bread. You must request the corn bread. Excellent meal!!

We made reservations for a large party & had to wait 20 minutes for a table once getting there???When we made the reservations we asked to be seated in the screened area. They put us outside on the patio where we were not prepared to sit outside. It's a little cold, we had children. Our waitress took 15 min to... More

While recently on vacation at Kure beach, my wife and I asked around town where to get the best seafood. Since Michael's at Carolina beach was mentioned the most, we decided to give it a try. I liked the breezy island atmosphere and was happy to find steamed oysters on the menu. I ordered a dozen which was brought to... More

We read about this place in the restaurant book in our motel room and it didn't disappoint us. I usually get the same old thing when going to a seafood place, so that night I decided to try something else. I ordered the shrimp scampi on flatbread. I thought it was going to be SS with a basket of warm... More
