Mike's Cafe and Oyster Bar

I had eaten at Mike's several times, but it had been 15 plus years ago or longer. It'd been that long since I'd stayed in this area on PCB. So I suggested it for dinner tonight and I'm sure glad I did! Everything was incredible! Everyone was so nice (including Mike) and the service was great. Raw oysters and Mike's baked oysters were awesome! Grouper picatta, fried shrimp and oysters were awesome and the banana pudding was a perfect bite for us all to finish a fantastic meal. Can't wait to visit Mike's again next year when we return to PCB.

Completely enjoyed every bite and I'm stuffed. Our server, Angela was on it. Was fun will definitely return. This place and Thomas's Doughnuts make this end of the beach the best!

Oysters were great. Entrees not so much. Steamer platter missing sausage, very little seasoning.Cleaned our table while eating, including salad we had not touched yet. Margarita was terrible. Waitress not attentive.

This place isn’t much to look at and isn’t on the beach, but the food and friendly service make it a very worthy stop. Our only regret is trying it on one of our last days at PBC so we weren’t able to go again! We enjoyed peel and eat shrimp, a Cajun fish and grits dish, and a fried basket, and they were all amazing! Everything was fresh and expertly prepared, the portions were ample, and the value was outstanding. Even the fries were well seasoned and fried to crisp perfection, and the sauces and salad dressing were better than any other place we tried. Beer, wine and cocktails were also good and so affordable when compared to competitors. Highly recommend supporting this amazing, family-owned restaurant that has an “old Florida” appeal that we felt was quite charming!

Overpriced bland food with servers with the soup nazi personality- no clue why there is a long wait or great reviews at this place

WARNING TO PEOPLE OF COLOR

Today my boyfriend and I had a taste for seafood and came upon this place on the beach. When we first walked in we notice we were the only black Americans coming to dine, which usually isn’t a huge factor. As we were seated the waitress took our order of 2 drinks, fried calamari as an appetizer and 2 entrees which consisted of Mahi Mahi dinner and for me a dozen of oysters. After waiting for about 30min our appetizer (fried calamari) came out along with our drinks. While we patiently waited on the entrees, a Caucasian family of 4 was seated at the table next to us. They shared the same waitress as us who took their order. Within literally 10 additional minutes from their arrival they were served a dozen of oysters which was the first red flag as to why I was flabbergasted. yet I didn’t mention it to the waitress as about 5 min later she brought out my boyfriend’s food. He waited about 10 more minutes (about an hour now since our arrival) before the waitress THEN brought out ALL 4 entrees for the same table that had just been served the oysters. It was very clear to me that my dinner had been served to the family of 4 who just came in at now 20minutes ago. When the waitress came by, she said she was still waiting on my food at which I told her that I believed she had given my food to the table next to us. She said “no” and walked off. About 5 minutes later the restaurant owner (I’m assuming named Mike) walked to our table after passing us up at first at speak with all the other guest and asked how we were doing. My boyfriend spoke on my behalf and said that we had been here for about an hour still waiting on my food versus the family of 4 who was already eating their entrees. In the midst of him explaining to the manager, the manager kept saying SARCASTICALLY “what”, “I can’t hear you”, “you’re going to have to speak up” and even after stated “well it looks like I can’t resolve your problem”. When my boyfriend asked “Well why did you ask how we were doing” the manager responded “well why are y’all still sitting here” insinuating that we should leave in which we did. The management, staff and service was so poor I would give this place negative 5 stars if I could. I felt as if they were intentional with how they treated, talked to, and served us and I’ll NEVER suggest to any persons of my ethnicity or color to eat there. Shame of you

I’ve eaten at Mikes many times when I had a reason to visit PCB. Unfortunately my visits ceased 6 years ago so when I evacuated from Hurricane Milton, my first night I went to Mikes. Mike served me and his lovely wife told him of my visit. They are about as down home as you can find. And as usual, my seafood casserole was wonderful. Tonight is my final night in PCBand I plan on visiting Mikes tonight for his Oysters Bordeaux.

Food was bland unless you added dips or put lemon on your seafood. Cajun pasta is also bland. Waitress came to our table once and wife tried paying for the $60 tab with a $100 bill and the waitress just walked off and said have a good day. We had to flag her down to tell her we need our change back and we would leave a tip. Owner walked around and chatted with everyone. There was a good amount of food, just was missing any standalone flavor

Mike's was a great find away from the tourist traps. We stayed across the street at Emerald Isle and walked. A family of 5 and all of our food was fresh and great tasting. Will be back

Pretty good place for late lunch or dinner. Everything we ordered was hot and fresh. Our waitress was friendly and knew the menu. Good selection of beers as well.
