    We had an amazing experience here, from the kind and attentive staff to the great food! We will definitely come back next time we're in town! Not pictured but also delicious, various salads, rolls, shrimp scampi, new year strip, and brussels sprouts. Since it's a small restaurant, we would highly recommend a reservation but loved our experience!

    Came here for my bestie's Bachelorette party last night. Some highlights: * Steak dinner was cooked well & I enjoyed my macaroni. * Group got side salads and had fun customizing them. * For pasta dishes: shrimp scampi had too much butter and they didn't have two of the options due to one being taken off the menu (needs updating) and another dish sold out. * We did like that they were very accommodating since they let our large party do separate checks. The staff was attentive and even signed a card for my friend to say congratulations. You can tell this place is for the locals. Overall, would recommend to out of towner's but keep some things in mind.

    I do give my share of five star reviews. When I do I am saying this was pretty great and you should try it. This, though, was a 5.5 of if ever there was one! We started with the fried onions which I am not a fan of. Not Lake Parks mind you. Just in general but my wife loved them. The salad was wild! So think salad bar that you don't get to visit. You fill a checklist with everything you want. The cool thing is you get someone else to make it for you and they portion it correctly. Awesome concept! The blue cheese on my steak seemed ridiculous at first as it was piled wildly high. Just shoveled a little to the side and dug in. Crisp edges, perfect pink center, and the blue cheese was fantastic! All round a perfect steak (I like toppings; don't come at me!). Rockstar Potato Prep!!! I'll wait while you take a moment to look at my photo of the potato. My wife said it looked like one of those marketing photo potato's and I can't disagree. It was a touch undercooked but everything else about it was high art!! I don't like to comment on decor because who really cares, right? That said this place had almost a brauhaus feel. Wood paneling and soft lighting. I loved everything about this experience! You have to come here if you are in the area!

    I had read the rave reviews of Lake Park Steakhouse so decided to try and get a table. Lake Park is a smaller restaurant so does not have many tables so the restaurant prefers reservations but will accommodate walk in when there is space. I wasn't sure of my schedule so hadn't made a reservation but I went early and was given a table. I was given plenty of time to look through the menu. The restaurant has various entrees that come with a side and a customized salad. They let you pick your choice of greens and toppings. But then I saw a la carte and decided that would work better for me as I had eaten a late lunch. So I will need to do the salad the next time. I went with a baked potato and a filet mignon. I added blue cheese to the filet but wouldn't get that topping on it again as it took away from the meat flavor. The baked potato was large and filling. I was full but one of the dessert options was a peanut butter cup chocolate cake so I couldn't pass that up. It was amazing! Service was great here and attentive. I had everything I needed and many refills on my iced tea. I will dine at Lake Park Steakhouse again and go with the seafood next time as I wanted to try both.

    Birthday Day Dinner!

    Incredible GEM of a Steakhouse! Wonderful service and incredibly Great food. The absolute best Vodka Martini with house made blue cheese stuffed olives I have had since moving from Raleigh. Absolutely the best seasoned and medium rare Ribeye and perfectly seared Scallops. We can't wait to go back and try everything else!. A must Visit!

    Our first time dining at Michael's Seafood Restaurant. Only our second time to Carolina Beach. The…read morewait wasn't too bad, about 30 - 40 minutes. Once seated though things moved pretty fast. Our waiter Noah T was very attentive, answered our questions and we were off and running. We chose a couple of appetizers; a bowl of Chowder (only because of the raves from fellow Yelpers) and the Athenian Bruschetta. Both were very good but my expectant bubble was burst as it wasn't "the best I have had" as many of the Yelpers had described it. The Athenian Bruschetta though was A-amazing. For Entree I had the stuffed Flounder and Norma had Shrimp and Scallop Scampi. Both were very delicious. Atmosphere was nice, a bit crowded, as you would expect where the food is really good. Tables were tight. Hard to navigate with Norma's wheelchair, but we made it through. Large helpings, took tomorrow's lunch back to the hotel. A definite come back to place.

    I've been visiting Carolina Beach for years (since 2013?), and Michael's Seafood has been one of…read morethe restaurants that has seemed to be a constant throughout my years of visits. That said, despite the place seeming to be very popular, I'd never actually visited for a meal - until my most recent visit, that is. I was visiting my grandmother and we finished a nearby game of miniature golf around 4:15pm, so we decided to head over to Michael's for an early dinner (I was going to bed early that night anyway, since I had to drive to Raleigh the next day for my flight out of RDU). She'd been raving about the dressing available at this place (they're known for a champagne vinaigrette, apparently?). I'd been eating light in Carolina Beach (having come from Houston, which made me feel like I was 95% brisket by the time I left), so I was looking forward to the roasted beet salad that she told me was on the menu of this place. We got to the restaurant and were seated right away (perfect timing, honestly, since the place started to fill up not that long after we arrived). I ordered the strawberry lemonade to drink, a cup of the seafood chowder, and the roasted beet salad (minus bleu cheese). It wasn't long before our order arrived at the table. The seafood chowder was decent, though nothing I would particularly order again or think especially notable. The beet salad was the same. I was actually expecting a different texture from the beets... they seemed more mushy than anything, and didn't have that "roasted" flavor I was expecting. The salad dressing that my grandmother had been raving about didn't really hit the mark for me either. It lacked flavor, and almost seemed overly diluted. Ultimately, I'm giving Michael's a 3/5 because our server was attentive and I enjoyed the general vibe of the place. I can understand why it's an easy place to grab a bit on Carolina Beach; that said, would I bother visiting Michael's Seafood again on a follow-up trip to CB? No, there are plenty of other options.

They have a terrific waiting area as they are busy! They have a front bar and a back bar, as well as tables. We grabbed two seats at the back bar. Holly was our main server and she was a delight. Super friendly and attentive. She for sure added to the down home vibe that this place has. We ordered a margarita and another drink that was similar to a Manhattan. Both were great. Also grabbed a sangria that was good as well. Started with the chicken satay and it was great. Highly recommend this. Comes with 4 and the slaw and sauce were amazing. Ordered the seafood paella which was delicious and the burger. The portions are generous! Let me tell you that burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The bun - it was like a cloud. Maybe it was steamed? It wasn't heavy and it didn't take over the main star which were the two delicious patties with some fantastic cheese and then had caramelized onions with red peppers. This came with fries as well. Do not leave without getting this burger. It will ruin all other burgers you have ever had or will have. This is a no brainer! Get here.

Our service was quick and efficient! We snuck in right before the rush around 5:45 PM our server Kyra was wonderful! Her timing was excellent and her suggestions were spot on! She was friendly, efficient, and just added to the great experience that all four of us had! My husband and I shared the mahi special and something called Crete Beets ( spelled on the menu beats); both were absolutely delicious! The mahi was prepared perfectly and had a nice light creole sauce which they put on the side for dipping and the crab mac & cheese was delightful with asparagus that was cooked on point; not overdone and not underdone which I know in restaurants is sometimes difficult to do. The crete "beats" was more or less a charcuterie board of roasted purple and gold beats with the most delicious whipped dip and perfectly seasoned and baked pita some of the best I've ever had with olives and cucumbers, and pickled red onions! I can't really describe the dip and apparently it's top-secret because I asked for the recipe! Our friends ordered the beet salad with extra beets; shrimp Tapatio and a bowl of the soup of the day. All were delicous and there was not a crumb or a drop left on their plates while my husband and I were still eating ours! The soup of the day was a potato jalapeño cheddar and it did not disappoint! this seriously is one of the few consistent restaurants on the island! I'm still dreaming about my food this morning!

I even walked over a mile to get there... so if this burger was bad, I was going to have a very long, disappointing walk back. Thankfully, that wasn't a problem. I ordered the double cheeseburger Carolina-style with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. A Carolina-style burger... in Carolina Beach. It just felt right. First of all, this thing was HUGE. The beef was incredibly well seasoned with those crisp, lacy edges. The chili had just enough sweetness, the mustard brought the perfect tang, and the onions added that fresh crunch. Then there's the toasted potato bun--still the undisputed champion of burger buns--and the perfectly melted cheese holding this glorious mess together. What makes this place even cooler is that it started in a gas station back in 2017. Now it's one of the most talked-about burger spots around. It's considered by many to be the third best burger in North Carolina and after one bite, I completely understand why. Sometimes the best food comes from the places you'd least expect. Despite being busy, the food came out surprisingly fast, and the staff kept things moving without missing a beat. Final score: 9.8/10. This officially takes the #1 spot on the Ev's Eats Best Burger List... for now. Every burger from here on out has a new standard to chase. #CarolinaBeach #IslandBurgersAndBites #NorthCarolinaEats #NCEats NCFood
