J Michael's is another one of those "local restaurants." They serve any type of fish or "critters" from the ocean. It usually is full (in the Summer time expect to wait 30-45 minutes if after 5PM). Now in the winter there is no wait.

The food here is great! I like their Sea food platter. It is huge. My wife and I always need to share a single serving. The staff is warm and friendly. If your looking for a fancy place, don't go here. The place has been there for many years and one can most often see J. Michael in the restaurant paying attention to what is happening and directing staff. The price is a little higher here but still within range for people who want to eat at a place with great food and a warm atmosphere. No need to dress up. It is all casual. J Michael's brings out the flavor of Panama City Beach. You will enjoy your time and food here.

We think our prices are relative to other places on the beach. In as much as is humanly possible, we only buy local, fresh seafood and produce which does cost a little more.

Great location, fun ambiance, tasty fish and shrimp baskets. Tartar sauce and Col slaw has jalepenos so beware if you are sensitive to spicy foods. Service was kind and portions were large for a moderate price.

Fantastic restaurant/bar! Unique decor and outstanding food! Service is good and friendly. Even met the owner and he appreciative about our patronage. I had the Fish and Chips (Flounder) and my wife had the Shrimp basket and we both enjoyed the meals. We were stuffed when we got up to leave.

Great oysters in the half shell raw or cooked. Great other food selections and beer and wine. I had a dozen O's and the small Greek salad with shrimp and a cold Yueng. Perfect location near the bridge. Reasonable prices and I would highly recommend if you are in the PCB area.

My grandfather and my parents spend the winters in PCB. They will eat at this restaurant a minimum of two nights a week for their entire stay. When I visit, it's my first request for boiled shrimp. I admire the local love for this place and the family-friendly atmosphere it offers. You can easily tell this is a Panama City Beach original. It is a must-stop for a true taste of this area's finest.
