👍👍 A great place for lunch or dinner. A very casual atmosphere with great food and great service! On a warm day, sit outside and enjoy a day game. The stuffed burgers are excellent. The most difficult choice is between fries or house made potato chips. People often mention good, great, pizza,

    I've been to Michels many a time under prior and new management. Under the new management it's always consistently good. I've had a variety of things off the menu and while there isn't anything really unique, everything is executed really well. I love their beef sandwiches. The almost always have Son of Juice on tap too 👌

    We came to watch the Bears game, great ambience, wings and pizza were delicious! We’re coming back for more pizza. We tried the drink special, it was good, but switched to Gum ball head… highly recommend this place! One of our new favorite places

    Waitress and staff are great. Manager doesn’t know how to do their job. Was slurring her words and being disrespectful to our party. Started boxing our hood instead of speaking to us. Absolutely rude!

    Food was good but we went there for the specials they advertised online but they said they can’t accept them. Not a big deal to me but to a lot of people when you offer $1.50 beer you better h honor it. For that I’ll not be back. There are so many options in St. John. You can’t do that

    Michael's is a beautiful place with great food but it takes at least 20 minutes to get service because refuse to have enough staff there and one person can't do it all.. nobody's fault but management. So if your thirty and you have all day it's all good

    I’ve been to Michels a handful of times. I have a daughter who cheers at a local gym, and a lot of us moms like to grab food during the girls practice. Service is so-so, depending on the server you get. Food can take a while to come out. During my last visit to Michels, I was absolutely appalled by what I witness and went through. I came in to meet a friend during our daughters practice. As I walked in I saw her get up from her table on the bar side, and head to the bar. She was unaware I was bringing my kids, but didn’t notice me, so I stood at her table waiting for her to come back to move to the dining side. An older gentleman (who identified himself as the owner) came up to me and asked if I was with her and pointed to my friend. I replied, yeah. He replies and says “Ok, the kids can’t be over here, you can move to the dining side”. I said ok no problem we were planning on doing that anyway (mind you we never even sat down yet). He leaves and my friend comes back to the table visibly upset, saying that the owner had said something to her about the kids. Soon after the waitress came up and began apologizing for way the owner was speaking to her at the bar. The owner saw her talking to us and stormed over and said “you don’t have to talk to them!” Then screamed at me “You need to get those kids out of here, you need to leave, NOW!” It was shocking and honestly scary. My kids were confused on why this man was yelling at me. We will never visit this establishment again. Malt Bros will have our business from now on - always welcoming and family friendly.

    The food was absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best bartenders I've encountered in quite some time. If you're there to support your team there are at least 50 TVs all around the bar.

    They call it a sports bar, but it's just a bar. A sports bar plays a bunch of sports, not just whatever sport happens to be on local TV. I've never been in a sports bar on a Sunday afternoon during football season, and found they could only show the one local game. That's a bar. Not a sports bar.

    Went here at about 5pm on a Saturday, it was so loud inside you couldn't talk to people at your own table. Everything on the menu is finger foods. No fork items. If you want a nice quiet dinner go somewhere else.

    Our group had the back reserved for a party and one of the managers, Will, was very attentive. He personally checked on us often and made sure everything went smoothly. Service and pizza were great, definitely recommend for your next group event!

    Love Sam and Amy, they’re so sweet! Food was great and atmosphere has always been a pleasure - will be back weekly 😉

    Terrible service, very disappointing, rude bartenders, the one with the mask, we actually had to physically wave her attention, then the motioned a finger & told us to wait a minute, comes back & says "Hi" instead of how can I help u, etc

    First time coming after convincing my wife to stop by & the service was horrible!!! We ordered a beer & a wine that literally took 20 minutes to come. Ordered pork nachos that came with no pork, no napkins nor any silverware.

    Didn't even eat food. We placed order and waited, approximately 10 minutes. A then disheveled and messy appearing lady come out and proceeded to tell us we cannot place the order. She was quite rude, with a terrible attitude. I then proceeded to ask the manager about limits on orders and he informed me that wasn't true and he would be right back with us. After another 10 minutes the now even angrier lady returned and said are you going to order. I ask about the manager coming back as she informed me that she's the manager and the other was her brother.

    Bar has a solid selection of tap beers and a respectable whiskey selection. The meat lover thin pizza bang for your buck is great. Kelly is fantastic, request her area if possible.

    The place is getting to be a bit run down. It definitely needs some updates and cleaning. There are huge pieces missing from the table tops and every single one was sticky. The toilets all had pink rings too like they hadn't been scrubbed in some time. I ordered the stuffed burger and it was delish, I would recommend that. My mother ordered grilled chicken and it was dry and like sand paper. We also ordered the fried pickles, which were almost good. The pickles were so thin you could hardly taste them, it was almost like just eating chips. My son ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich which is fried, but it was dry as well. I wouldn't recommend ordering any chicken from here. But burgers were all good, so I'd say that is a safe choice.

    Burger was pretty good. Good service. Clean bar. Draft 3 Floyd's reasonable price 👍

    We like coming here for after dinner drinks.. Fun environment, always someone to chat up. Great drinks. Haven't tried the food but pizza looked delicious. I think they have a good special on that too one night but can't remember the details. Only complaint is the fruit flies kept landing in my drink. I had to put a napkin over my drink to try to get through ONE beer that had 2 different bugs land in it. Yuk!
