The best thing about this place is the view. It was interesting, walls and ceiling filled with stuff. Unfortunately I can offer little praise beyond that. Food was decent at best, the gravy tasted like a TV-dinner. Portion sizes average but the high prices seemed to indicate large portions. Wait time 20 minutes to be seated, another 15 to be served. Staff was gracious about the wait time, they were swamped. Place was packed for a Monday evening in August. Atmosphere in two words: loud and drunk. There were balloons scattered about, some diners popped them for laughs. Place seems geared towards large (4 and up) parties coming for drinks and oysters. Interestingly conservative place. Rifles mounted all over the ceiling, I spotted a Romney/Ryan campaign sticker and some Trump stuff as well. Fox News on all the TVs. Overall didn't enjoy myself, but others may find it to their liking. I didn't like the food, was put off by the prices and surprisingly small portions, had to speak loudly to be heard. This place is for large groups looking to drink and laugh. Not for less boisterous families, and certainly not for couples.

Excellent food and service. I had the red beans and rice ( could have been a bit thicker but the flavors were good) and my guest had fish and chips that was excellent. I think it was fresh local flounder. Make sure to try the pepper slaw.

I am giving this restaurant a 5 star review, because they provided excellent service even when they were not required to by any means. I met up with a friend and we agreed to go out for a sandwich to his favorite place. I am allergic to shellfish and did not think much about it. It wasn't until we were inside that I realized where I was and started to make plans to leave. My allergies are not extreme or anything but I would generally never eat at a seafood place like this just to be careful. After my friend spoke with the owner, the owner insisted we stay and that he would take care of everything. I had a delicious sandwich and no problems. I am not writing this because I in any way recommend visiting this establishment with a shellfish allergy, but because of how the owner and the staff accommodated the situation with respect and integrity. I work in a kitchen as a sous-chef and know that a situation like this can be a pain in the a**, so thank you J. Michael's staff for providing excellent customer service, and not treating me like the idiot I inadvertently was upon showing up.

Was really excited to try this place, got taken to a table where my boyfriend and I were told they were out of oysters. Not a big deal we understood with the storms and all but proceeded to leave because we came for the oysters and the waitress fired a snarky comment at us telling us "good luck finding anything good" . They may have good food but we will not be back based on that alone. We weren't rude and understood but the comment was not needed. I would have come back another time if not for that.

Shrimp J Michael. Can't say enough how much I love this dish. The balancing act they play with the curry is masterful. The rest of the menu is fantastic too as I've explored their menu thoroughly over the years but that shrimp dish is the hook for me. Though I do miss the grouper sandwich and grouper fik being regular menu items
