For the mahi-mahi fish tacos I did wish that they listed what was inside of them on the menu. For reference, it included a little bit of slaw, red onions + tomatoes diced up with an orange sauce that was a bit spicy. There was also a green crema at the bottom of the tortilla shell. Overall, it was good. However the wait seemed extensively long & the staff was not very attentive. I waited 30+ minutes at my table before I went inside to ask for everything to be boxed up to take home. The outside tables could also be cleaned a bit better - my table was a bit dirty with leftovers on it.

But after driving back home we were underwhelmed by the food. Three of us ordered old bay fries but only one person got them. My wife and I got sandwiches with no toppings. Any other place we order sandwiches from they ask if you want lettuce, tomato, etc. Disappointing because we were all so hungry and it was $80. Lesson learned.

Light and refreshing, and the portion was spot on and surrounded by the perfect roll. They have really cool merch as well, and you can purchase odd & end seasonings and kitchen accoutrements.

Each dinner includes lobster, clams, corn on the cob, coleslaw, lemon slices and drawn butter. Gentleman that answered phone asked which size lobster 1.50 or 2 pound -- both are $36. I questioned him why the larger wouldn't be more. He said yeah I know it is weird I don't understand but they are same. I've been coming here for 10+ years and food, service and prices have always been stellar. We have the lobster dinners about 2x a month in the summer. Never have they been the same price - questioned him again and said are you sure?? Nope, he said exact same price regardless of size - $36, must be a special. So I ordered 2 of the 2 lb dinners. We arrived at 6:45, checked in and both dinners promptly came out at 7:00. When we went to pay they were $43 each. I asked about my earlier conversation and price/size of $36 each -- they could have cared less. Total bait and switch. Never again. I asked her to look up who took order so they could educate the young man. She did nothing and said oh well. Both dinners were piping hot when we arrived home, Upon opening the containers 1 lobster was 3x as larger. The smaller lobster was over cooked and water logged -- all the meat was mush. The larger lobster was done perfectly. No lemon in one of the dinners and they gave us 5 coleslaws (should have been 2 - (1) for each dinner) and (1) drawn butter for both dinners -- should have been 2. Lobster and clams are not good without drawn butter! Complete waste of money and they've lost my business for life. Sadly, it wasn't even a busy night.

Everything comes in pretty big portions, however, so sharing would probably be a good move. Service is fairly slow, however, so be sure to order food whenever your server does come around.

Ordered take out. One broiled combo, one crab nacho. Food was ready when promised…read more First, the combo. 4 small scallops, one average piece of flounder, six shrimp and a 3-4 oz lobster tail. Handful of fries and a small cup of slaw. Scallops though small very sweet and succulent. Five star. Flounder very mild, almost tasteless cooked perfectly. Lobster and shrimp average at best. Fries cooked great but needed salt. Coleslaw was just cabbage mix and mayo. Crab nachos...a total let down. Chips were very thin and normally that would be a great thing but they quickly became soggy under the weight of the toppings. The tomato Pico tasted like a very garlicky Italian sauce. Don't get me wrong that sauce had a wonderful taste but it just wasn't a fit. The cheese sauce would have been good with the fries. The lump crab was just a smaller than average serving. Crab was fresh and sweet but as a whole these nachos just didn't work. Would we order again. Probably. It was ready as promised and order was packed nicely.

I've been coming to Mike's for years, it seems to be a tradition that my wife's family had so I…read moreplayed along. I haven't reviewed them for a reason, I simply have never been impressed (at all). I'll start this with the fact that they really need to change their menu description, putting "fresh" in front of every menu item is silly. Maybe it should say: "previously frozen...now thawed" instead; but I guess that doesn't have the same ring to it. Most of the food over the years has been extremely bland and if breaded it's bought that way and with way too much breading. We have stuck to the seafood options and had most of what's on the menu. A few of the most disappointing have been the "Shrimp from Hell", simply cocktail sauce drizzled with hot sauce, the "Crab Balls" which are mainly breading with a little back fin mixed in, and the calamari which is overbreeded, under seasoned and tough. Some of the tried and true that are decent are the steamed clams, the fried clams (but again thick breading) and surprisingly on this last trip the "Lobster Mac and Cheese" balls. Now first, I'm not expecting high cuisine here, you can literally walk onto the dock with a cooler on wheels and sit at your picnic table. The atmosphere is okay but lack of background music makes it uncomfortable at times (nothing worse than having to listen to the people three tables over discuss their latest doctor's visit). The staff is always great. These two reasons are why they are getting three stars instead of two. I would at least want something that tastes a little better than mediocre at best. In fact, this past visit they actually tasted much better but that's likely due to the fact that we ate in every other seafood restaurant in Sea Isle first, before coming to Mike's. Are they great, nope, not even close. For Sea Isle and the surrounding area's they are towards the top. Needless to say, you can have fun, temper your expectations for good food, enjoy some cocktails and the views.
