Founded by the dynamic duo, Michael and Shelly McGowan, it has grown to become a favorite for both locals and visitors alike, promising an unforgettable dining experience with each visit.
Michael's Seafood Restaurant is not just a restaurant; it is a culinary institution renowned for its award-winning seafood chowder, a recipe perfected over many years by Michael himself. But the chowder is just the beginning. The menu is a celebration of the freshest catch of the day, seasoned and cooked to perfection, offering a gastronomic journey that showcases the best of what the ocean has to offer.
As you step into the restaurant, you are greeted by a seaside décor that transports you to a coastal paradise. The outdoor seating area allows you to soak in the beautiful Carolina weather, offering a relaxed and spontaneous dining experience on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Beyond the famed chowder, the restaurant offers a rich variety of seafood options that promise to delight every palate. Whether you are a fan of grilled, steamed, or raw seafood, there is something for everyone, with each dish promising a burst of fresh and authentic flavors.
We at Palm Air Realty highly recommend making a stop at Michael's Seafood Restaurant during your stay. It is more than just a meal; it is an experience, a tradition, and a taste of the warm and vibrant culture of Carolina Beach.
