I had seen a few advertisements for this place showing a lobster roll with fries and a cup of chowder for $19 so I decided to stop in for lunch one day recently. I believe it was around 2 PM so it was after lunch rush but before happy hour and there were just couple people in the place. I said the bar was served by Jill, who was very pleasant and engaging. It definitely seemed like a local place, but I wasn't meant to feel like an outsider. I ordered a lobster roll, cold and cup of chowder, along with a ginger ale as I was on a lunch break from work. The lobster was plentiful, and I believe most of it was claw and knuckle meat. It was lightly dressed in mayonnaise and was served in a roll with some shredded lettuce. It was most likely frozen lobster meat, but still tasted very fresh and was filling. Not the best lobster roll I've ever had but definitely a solid lobster roll, especially considering the price. The fries were shoestring fries and fried well. The chowder was middle of the road chowder they had freshly ground black pepper for the chowder. I believe the $19.99 is a special price and that it is normally $29.99. If you were looking for a high-end gourmet food, this isn't the place. This is more of a neighborhood bar and casual restaurant with solid food. Ask for parking they have a large lot behind the restaurant. If the restaurant is on your right, take the right before the restaurant in the lot will be behind. If you go past, you will need to make a U-turn to circle back. read more

Over the course of the last four years, I've tried multiple things from this place and it is very much so a hit or miss. I will not indulge in certain things because I feel like it would take away from the good from the place but what I can say is my experience from this place hasn't been the best. I feel like a lot of the food that is made that you spend a good amount of money on is not taken seriously. Lobster Mac and cheese - I don't really know what to say about the mac & cheese other than it could've been better. There was plenty of lobster so I have no complaints over that. I feel like it should've been mixed in and then topped with lobster maybe even baked and that there was more cheese. For the price point that they were asking for the portion made sense for the price, but the quality didn't. Caesar Salad - the lettuce was fresh. The cheese was fresh. The croutons was fresh. Overall the salad was great. I have no complaints. I do wanna make this clear the ambience of the place is amazing is very homey and the locals are nice there. I've come in during different times and every time I'm greeted with a smile and a great personality from the staff. If I had any advice for this place, I would say for someone like me who is a foodie and goes to multiple restaurants all around Massachusetts and other states, please do your checks. It makes all of the difference. It is one of the reasons why I stayed away for a good little bit , but I took another chance and I'm not upset about it, but I am not happy about it either, so I feel like based on the quality of the ingredients and the potential behind the dish, they should be no reason for the hit or miss. read more

So I ordered a large fish and chip, apparently English style! When I got the order and got home it was (2) decent sized fish with exactly 21 French fries. The fish was mushy and the fries were barely cooked.(cold and soft) The coleslaw had no flavor like watery. If you go online it shows free chowder with large fish and chip order, nothing was asked only asked if I wanted anything! We as customers should never have to ask if something is suggested free with an order. read more

Mikey B's - Free chowder - Seafood Near Me - New Bedford, Massachusetts

Good service, nice sized portions, haddock done to perfection. Would definetly revisit.

Takeout Menu prices and different than Eat in prices. I won't be back after being lied to and overcharged by the manager.

Worst meal I have ever had on the south coast. Ove done seafood, lukewarm chowder watery broth and little or no substance. Stuffed quahog cold and all breading. Over thirty minutes to get apps and 45 minutes for the entree. Two folks at the bar and two other tables. I did complain to management and no response. My friend went there after I did and basically had the same complaints. Must say have been here before with no complaints. Something is definitely wrong in the kitchen. Chip read more

Ran in for lunch. It wasn't busy and an hour later I had to get my food to go. I ordered the lobster roll with a salad not fries. Got the wrong lobster roll to boot which I didn't notice til I got to work. read more

YIKES!!! It's a ton of food! Thankfully my husband and I split it. The batter is light and everything was served hot. One of the best we've had during our 3 week visit. The service was great. The atmosphere was "fishy" Glass, hand blown fish were hanging from the ceiling. The atmosphere was bright and cheerful. read more

RESERVE A TABLE MrWally430 29 reviews·9 photos My wife and I tried a new restaurant and it was very good. Mikey B's was very clean, great atmosphere and our Server, Miss Deija was terrific. We started out with the stuffed mushroom caps, which were the best. We also had potato skins, which were ok, but not any different than anywhere else and could have had more cheese on them. My wife had the fish and chips and clam chowder. She enjoyed the flavor and the fish was cooked just right, although she thought the portion could have been a little larger for the price and she didn't finish her clam chowder, which was very bland. I had the Portuguese Steak. The steak was not a whole steak, but pieces of steak medalions, covered with and egg. The steak and egg were cooked just right. The sauce was a little different than I'm used to, a little heavier and almost tasted like it was mixed with a little bit of beef gravy. The rice was out of this world and cooked just right. A side of fries and a Portuguese pop roll which was hard in the middle, but not enough to complain about. My portion was well worth the price. My Cousin had the fried Clam Plate, which he thought was very good. He couldn't finish his meal and had to take some home. His wife had the Baked Stuffed Shrimp. She loved her meal and thought that the portion was just right for her and was cooked perfectly. Our Server, Miss Deija was constantly at our table asking how the food was and if there was anything else that she could get for us. I decided to get the Nachos Grande to take home. I found that the cheese, salsa and hot peppers were a little skimpy compared to the amount of chips that I got, along with 1 small container of sour cream. The desert menu was small with nothing that sounded out of this world to try, so we skipped desert. The bill was a little over $100, (not including tip), for my wife and I. A little pricey, however, not ridiculous considering that we had gotten 3 appetizers, 2 entrees and my wife had a beer and I had an ice tea. All said, at the end of the day, we had a good time and we did not leave hungry. I think that if the portions were just a little larger, the prices would be in the ball park. Thank you very much.

I ordered a horrific Tuna sub from G&S Pizza, which just so happens to be next door to Mikey B's. After throwing the whole sub away I decided to come here as several of my staff recommended it for good seafood. There is ample parking in the back and the restaurant has a cozy vibe. The bartender seems like she has been there for years. The bar service was great but the food took a long time to come out for a place that wasn't busy during lunch time. The Cabernet Sauvignon was pretty good. The Salmon with Tomatoes and Baby Spinach claims to be healthy and light on their menu but its very much full of butter. It was pretty tasty, but greasy. The Spanish Rice was good, but tasteless. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to have much flavor though. The Cucumber Salad is 70% Onion and 30% Cucumber but was decent. I'm a big fan of salad dressing and there was plenty in this little dish. Overall, it was a decent experience and I plan on returning. read more

Where to begin.. I never leave negative reviews, I always think if something goes wrong at a restaurant that it's just their off day. but unfortunately . . . The waitress was absolutely blitzed. Made our drinks pure liquor with a hint of mixer. Which I guess I great if we sat at the bar, but we were having a family dinner. The clam boil was so disappointing, growing up in New England I haven't had a bad claim boil in my LIFE. Potatoes and linguica undercooked, half the clams weren't opened SHELL FISH 101 BUT honestly, the bathroom was crème de la crème. The accessible bathroom had a house door. Not even a stall door. I couldn't fit my wheelchair in with the changing table blocking the way in!!!! Total loss. My husband has his own complaints about his Portuguese Steak . . . SPOILERS!! UNDERCOOKED. had sent it back and was given the SAME STEAK. read more

Mikey B's is the best. Best seafood I have ever had!! Seafood platter was overflowing and the chowder was great. Would highly recommend. This will be my go to restaurant. Thank you. Mikey B's. read more

Food was ok, found it to be overpriced, spotty service and oddly set up. We were seated in the front dining room, everyone who came after us was in the middle section. read more

The restaurant is fabulous, love the ambience it's colorful & exciting. The food is wonderful and delicious. My favorite there is the Salmon dishes & the burgers! Definitely delicious, the prices are in line with other local restaurants in New Bedford. I love the drinks there they have a full bar with great recipes. My favorite is the "Liquid Sunshine" yummy. Also they have a children's menu & "Special price" reduced price luncheon menu. They deliver, takeout, curbside pickup & it has a large room for an type of celebration or funerals. It's in the far North-end of the city but easily assessable from either Acushnet Ave. or Route 140. The kids love the dragon hanging in their Middle dining room. They are also very kid friendly & they don't discriminate against anyone or anything. read more

We have been here two times now. I think the first visit was better than the second. This time both my husband and I had the fried seafood combo platter and a cup of chowder. The chowder was nothing spectacular and the combo platter was ok at best. It seemed very thick/heavy to me, not a nice light batter. The restaurant itself is very comfortable, casual, spacious and colorful. If you are looking for gourmet, this is not the place. We will definitely give them another try down the road. read more

Mikey B's - April 2017 - Seafood Near Me - New Bedford, Massachusetts

Tried MikeyB's a couple of times in the past and it was just average. The food was good but the young servers were more focused on flirting with the young guys at the bar than taking our order and getting our drinks. Last Tuesday was too hot to cook, so we decided to go out for a cold beer and a quick bite and decided to try MikeyB's. What a difference! The bar tender and cook were sociable and attentive to everyone, even us non regulars. I was looking for a particular beer that wasn't on tap, so I asked and the bartender checked the cooler and sure enough they had it in a can. The food recommendations were good and came up in no time. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Mike's Favorite Sandwich were outstanding and they were both HUGE. Because the sandwiches were so big, we didn't have room for dessert - next time we will start with dessert. If you haven't tried MikeyB's or tried it a while ago and weren't thrilled, I say give it another shot, you'll be glad you did read more

Mikey B's always a good choice. There is something for everyone. The deep fried seafood is sure to please. Broiled seafood dinner so fresh. Burgers cooked to order, the way you like. The servers and staff pleasant and attentive. My family loves Mikey B's! read more

We have gone to this restaurant for years and loved it. We recently went on a Friday night and we were so disappointed. The chowder did not have one clam in it and not good at all. Our fried clams were over cooked to the point of being hard. So sad. read more

Terrible food service. They're like to block people when they tell the truth about their food was very cold in the seafood plate had sand, and it was very gross. No good compliments about this place. This place needs to go downhill. I'm surprised it's still in business. read more

I had gone to a restaurant near the water that normally has fried clams on the menu but they must not serve them in the winter. So we ordered other entrees and decided to order takeout from Mikey B's and pick it up on the way home. Before we finished our meals I called in to order our takeout, the person who answered the phone told me 20 minutes. I got there in 20 minutes and proceeded to wait another 55 minutes until the food was done. This was on a Monday with 2 people in the restaurant and maybe 6 people at the bar. One of my family members complained about our wait and the manager said that she'd take $15 off our next order. Do you really think we'd ever go back to this place? Never again I'm one and done. read more

I had the Day Boat Scrod. It was superb. I loved it and will order it again. I ordered pizza for the kids. I took a bite and again; it was so yummy. The crust the quality toppings. Just moved here from Cali. We needed a favorite local place. This is it. Good food and reasonably priced. read more

Went for dinner and we both had the baked halibut which was extremely fresh and very tasty. Sides were baked potato and cole slaw. Delicious. we sat at the bar and our server ( bar tender) was phenomenal. Won't hesitate going back. read more

I've always found Mikey B's to be a really mediocre restaurant and hadn't been in years. I was in the area and decided to give it another try after hearing that it had improved. My husband started with clam chowder, which had a peculiar taste and was not good. My coconut shrimp was decent, but I kept bitiing into pieces of shell. Side salad was full of slimy pieces of bad lettuce. My wine tasted like it had been sitting in an opened bottle for months. My husband ordered a salad and was disappointed in that as well. The waitress was kind of snarky; I think it was just her humor, but it was off-putting. I'd still say it's mediocre and would not try it again. read more

My wife, Vivian and I began with an appetizer of steamed clams that were clean and delicious. We followed that excellent start by each of us ordering a Broiled Seafood Casserole which has a medley of scrod, scallops, shrimp and steamed clams on top. It has a buttery sauce with a light breadcrumb topping. The dish is complimented by a choice of two side dishes, which includes rice, sauteed vegetables, coleslaw or cucumber salad. We decided to split an order of whole belly clams because we were both craving something deep fried. All of the seafood was delicious. Fresh and well prepared. There are quite a few seafood restaurants in Southeastern Massachusetts,and not all of them serve anything to write home about. A few of them crank out boring and bland seafood dishes with equally boring sides. Uninspired. Not so at Mikey B's. The mixed vegetables are sauteed. The cucumber salad consists of cold cucumbers and onions in vinegar. Coleslaw is fresh and cold. Very tasty. There are other items on their menu that I am looking forward to try on another trip to this excellent restaraunt. read more

I very rarely would go out for a clam boil when I can make it myself. However on those occasions where I just don't feel like cooking it nice to finally find a place with a full-size, delicious clam boil. The clams were fresh, clean and sweet. The corn on the cob didn't taste like it's been boiling for 3 hours Linguica & chourico get out of here Yum!!! Chowder so good. I didn't have to break the bank to enjoy this meal. The place is cute and the staff extremely friendly. Cant wait to go back and try other items on their menu. read more

Clam chowder sucked! The lobster roll was freaking $35 and full of Mayo!!! I literally had to scrape the Mayo off to try and eat it. My husband liked the clam cakes which is why I gave it two stars. He ordered a burger which is hard to mess up. This place is way over priced and knuckleheads gives you more food for less money! I get a lobster roll and chowder for $21 and it's delicious! read more

Ordered a take-out at 1:10 p.m. Asked for a large fried clam dinner ($26.99) to be picked up and asked for one extra container of tartar sauce. They told me "25" minutes. Got there at 1:32 p.m. (three minutes early)...paid the check and started to wait...and wait...and wait. I watched the "chef" through the window. The place wasn't busy. He kept disappearing around a corner. Then, he would come back and do nothing (adjusted his baseball cap a few times...no gloves, by the way). Food finally arrived at 2:04 p.m. (that's 54 minutes, not 25). Got the food home and found that their "large" fried clam dinner amounts to exactly 8 clams...and about 3/4 of a pound of French fries. By the way, even though I did not get the extra tartar sauce, it didn't matter...there were't enough clams for even one container of tartar sauce. I can't imagine how chinsy a small order ($19.99) would have been...In one simple word, "DON'T". read more
