J. Michael's - Panama City Beach

We went there tonight and had dinner. It was delicious. The shrimp was awesome. Even got baked oysters. Everything was delicious. Gator bites was very good as well. Will definitely visit there again. Give them a try. You will enjoy.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This restaurant wasn’t busy at all but still took 2 hours to get our food. The food wasn’t good. None of our orders came with everything we needed and also had a server drop food onto one of my friends. They don’t understand what you are asking for they aren’t familiar with their menu and it’s a joke. I do not recommend at all.Asked to speak to owner/manager never spoke to him.My check came out and it stated that the balance was zero. Still got charged $20 for awful service and terrible food.I will not be back neither will the 10 people that I was with.I do not recommend at all.

A little shocked and disappointed. We pulled up on a Friday night and not one car on the lot thought they were closed. We were quickly greeted and took a seat. Party of 9.Almost immediately we noticed the server was new or inexperienced, but that is OK....we have all been there. There was a lot of repeating orders over over and many initial mistakes made but she was friendly so it was truly not that big of a deal.When the food came out 1/2 of it was wrong but we just smiled and accepted it. 2 sets of 5 piece wings came out as 10, 5 lemon pepper wings came out as naked, 10 pc hot came out as 5 and when they corrected the lemon pepper wings they brought out 10 instead of 5. So we took 5 lemon pepper and substituted them for the hot on our own, no complaints.We ordered 4 alcoholic beverages and one of the cups was way smaller than the others so we were told you will get a refill of this since the cup is so small 3 of the drinks were the same drink but none made the same again, no biggie. We drank them.Not one time were we offered a refill of the sodas or tea at the table. Cups sat empty for most of the meal.Here is where it goes left. After we ALL got our food and were eating the server came out and told us she had 5 more wings for us we all advised that we had all of our food and we were not missing anything. She just stood there almost like she was going to get in trouble for taking the food back. She just stood there holding the plate. I said to her once again, we are good, we have all of our food. After another pause, she said well you guys can just have it, I cannot take it back OK, cool.We get our check $300 tab in a place that had NO CUSTOMERS the whole time we were in there and they charged us for the wrong wings they brought out. It was only $9 but when I asked her about it then there was a debate. 15 20 minute debate on the wings. So she went and got the owner/manager and he basically said well you guys ate them YES, we did because she stood there staring at us for 10 minutes and then said we could have them because she could not take them back.Oh, and the refill on the 1/2 an alcoholic drink never happened.2 buildings down was packed, a parking lot full with a 1 hour wait.....and this spot was empty and looked closed. Makes you wonder why.......

I wish I had taken more photos of the food. We showed up as they were closing (which we were unaware of) but they sat and served us. My husband got oysters and we shared gator bites as an appetizer. We were also brought arrepa and fried Mexican cheese which was to die for! My husband and I both got red snapper; mine was fried and his blackened. The pieces of fish were gigantic and fresh caught today! It came with coleslaw and fries. Our son got chicken and fries and loved it. The service was absolutely the best anyone could expect. They made great suggestions and even showed us how to prepare the Latin food! This is absolutely an upscale quality restaurant with a friendly casual feel.

The staff and food were beyond anything I've ever experienced. They prepared a custom dinner for me because of my diet and each member spent time conversing with us. What a wonderful time we had.
