About Michael's Seafood Restaurant

Michael's Seafood Restaurant is a well-known spot in Carolina Beach, popular for its friendly service and tasty dishes. The Clam Chowder and bake mac & cheese with shrimp and crab meat are favorites, along with the shrimp and scallops, fish dishes, and Low Country Boil. The atmosphere is welcoming, and servers like Nikki provide attentive service. Customers often mention the delicious food, especially the chargrilled octopus drizzled with lemon vinaigrette and served with grilled potatoes—an outstanding appetizer that many want to try again. The staff is praised for being friendly and making guests feel at home, and the restaurant offers great options for those with dietary restrictions, including gluten-free mac and cheese. The interior features a fun aquarium in the middle, adding to the inviting environment. Visitors have enjoyed superb seafood, with oysters Rockefeller and scallops receiving high praise. Service is described as kind and prompt, and prices are considered reasonable for the quality. Reservations are recommended during peak season or weekends due to popularity. While the food and atmosphere earn high marks, some guests found the hush puppies priced at $8.00 to be quite expensive, especially after spending $21.00 on shrimp. Overall, it is seen as a great experience, and many look forward to returning to enjoy more of the menu, including dishes like crab dip and shrimp-n-grits, which have received positive reviews.

Every vacation to CB we take we always stop at Michael’s! My son had his first crab cakes here and it’s been a tradition ever since. We make sure to come by everytime we visit!! A staple for sure. It’s always a wonderful time and the staff are always amazing.

love the owner sweet lady
definitely 5 star.🧡

The food was delicious. The best I had all week during our trip. And the price was really great too. Not overpriced like a couple restaurants in the area. The only issue we had was that there was no waiting area that was comfortable. They have benches out front but the sun made it too hot to sit there and there is no waiting area inside the restaurant.
