    Found this gem of an old school steak and seafood joint. The steaks and crab is the draw. You can't go wrong. We had the 40oz porterhouse and the 32 oz Prime Rib. They were outstanding. Service was great from knowledgeable staff. If you like the old school feel and outstanding steal and crab this place is for you. If you are looking for hip new age fancy don't go.

    Very classic family owned restaurant no fancy decor or frills but the food and service is always good. I’ve actually been here several times to enjoy their nightly specials as well as reserve the private room for a birthday party and everything was great! The prime rib is phenomenal as well as their other amazing specials. I’ve never had the lobster ironically. Most of my visits are spent at the bar, it can get a nice crowd of people on the weekends but during the week it’s easy in and out. If you haven’t been here you should definitely check them out.

    Food and drinks were excellent. My husband enjoyed the 40oz porterhouse and I had the stuffed flounder. I had a delicious long drop. We will definitely return.

    Husband and I decided to try place because they were participating in Restaurant Week and we've never been here. Husband made a 7pm reservation and we arrived at 6:46pm. A lady behind the bar said she w0uld be with us shortly. At 6:56 that same lady came and asked if she could help us and my husband told her we have a 7pm reservation. This lady then tells us that she will take us to our table at exactly 7pm. I'm thinking Ok maybe it's crowded but also thinking wow 4 minutes I'd not going to make a difference especially since your leaving multiple people sitting at the door. At 7:02pm, she was late, walked us to our table which was literally 10 ft behind the check in podium...empty. Why make us wait 4 minutes then. Anyway we ordered our food and drinks. Sadly they didn't have Grand Marnier, Husband got a Heineken. Food was good but they have a poor "sides" selection. We both ordered 16oz NY strip with lump crab cake. The salad I ordered tasted old and wilted. The tomatoe, lettuce, cucumber, and large white onion slice was disgusting. Even though the experience was not what we expected, we will return for the awesome steak! We just won't dine in.

    This is a hidden gem in Baltimore. I really enjoyed the food, the service was phenomenal and a wonderful atmosphere. I was there for lunch and it was a little quiet, which just made everything great. The Ribwich was humongous and so flavorful.

    It’s like stepping back in time- in a good way. Friendly family-owned restaurant with straightforward steak focused offerings. Not the choicest aged-cuts you can find but generous and good value for money spent. Love in the food. Each day of the week has a special offering! Tuesday is Prime rib day while Thursday is steak night.

    What a gem! This was my first time in Baltimore and I was lucky enough to stumble upon this restaurant. I had stuffed soft shell crab which is now my new found love. The owner noticed that I was not eating the entire crab and took the time to let me know. This was a bright spot in a short work trip to the area.

    Went to Michael's for my birthday as a less expensive alternative to Ruth's or Capital Grille. This place is old school in every sense of the word. Noticeable cleaning agent smell and weird drink menus made ordering a little challenging. The food saved the day though. We got stuffed mushrooms and crab balls and both were tasty and excellent. Entrees ranged from crab cakes to fish to NY Strip to 32oz prime rib. All of them were served to perfection. Trust me when I say you won't go home hungry and will likely take home leftovers too. Prime rib was supérb, yet Fred Flintstone sized. NY strip was great too. A little on on the med-rare side, but not enough to send back. Crab cakes were great and made traditionally without a majority of filler. Everyone loved the food. If you're feeling nostalgic, then this is the place to go. The decor is old school but the food was excellent. Drawback: tip was included on the bill (we had 5 at the table). Recommended.

    Been wanting to come here for a very long time and finally did last night with my daughter. The prices have gone up significantly from what I have seen online. The food was not bad but not great and the service from our waitress was mediocre. It's a shame that their prices went up so much.

    The steak is not seasoned. The food appears to be canned vegetables. The bread and butter is good. And the serve great portions of beef.

    We heard about the 40oz steak and my bf had to take it on. He was pleasantly surprised. He said it was delicious and juicy. I had the crabcake egg roll. Service was quick and the wait staff and bus boy was friendly. Will definitely be back. Perfect for date night.

    My partner and I patronized this establishment 11-25-23. We were promptly greeted and seated. Our server Oscar was tentative and polite. I ordered a (Medium Well) Sirloin & Lobster Combo. My man ordered the Sirloin & Crab Cakes Combo. There was a bit of a wait for our food to come out. I'm unsure the actual reason but it happens sometimes, no big deal. My steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. We both agreed our steaks were delicious! I would recommend this location and specifically the Sirloin Steak.

    I'm rating this all 5s given my initial experience amd since they say 1st impressions count then that's my reason. After 2hrs of trying to decode what to eat and more so trying to find a parking spot in downtown, I pulled up Michael's in Google maps headed for the unknown. On arriving parking was easy (and free; street as well as there are spaces in the back) and we were met by Brooke our server who made sure that 2hr delay was quickly satisfied. If you love a good steak get the 40oz Porter House, you won't regret it. 👌🏽
