Michael's Steak & Lobster House

First time to this location and it left a memorable impression! I came here with a large group and we were seated right away! The service was wonderful! The decor was dated but the restaurant felt comfortable and a good place to eat. I ordered a filet mignon after having a bowl of French onion soup. My soup was good but a little salty! And there wasn't much stock in my soup but lots of cheesy goodness! My filet mignon was tasty but the texture didn't feel like a true filet mignon that tends to melt in my mouth. This cut was a bit on the chewy side. I didn't enjoy the mashed potatoes as it tasted prepackaged and not like fresh whipped potatoes. My friends enjoyed their meals and said their food was tasty. We all agreed on the decor needing an updating. Overall it was still a great experience and worth a visit!

We went to Michael's for their restaurant week deal. The food was okay but I wouldn't consider it worth the price. The stuffed mushrooms were good; it was a lot of crab with a few mushrooms. Cream of crab was not very crab-forward. NY strip was over done for me and my fiance's was certainly too cooked for his liking. I got a side of brussel sprouts which was a mistake - I think they were steamed and sitting in some kind of water or oil. Their fries were ok. Service was ok - our server was nice but everything was slow, a soda refill was given to the wrong table, the wrong soup was brought out at first. The restaurant is older. There's a lot of lights and the decor of sort of old, western. There was mainstream pop playing.Overall, experience was ok. Food and service was not quite up to our expectations.

Recommended by a buddy I took my sister and niece to check it out. Small quaint spot with friendly staff waiting to welcome us in. I ordered lamb chops and wasn't disappointed. My Sis had flounder with crab meat and my niece had the parmesan spaghetti and they both kept talking about what to order on their next visit! Looking forward to the time! It took the food a close to 30 minutes. Otherwise I would rate this 5 stars

My wife and I visited Maryland we was hungry from driving all night found this place on yelp just to see what looks like good food and the five stars it was given by most just to take a uber and be disappointed by it being closed until the 29th of August. If the business is closed it should say Closed on yelp to let others know what's going on instead of given false hopes. Thanks for reading this as soon as it's open I'll be diving 3 hours from my home just to make my final decision if it's that good

During restaurant week, I like to visit the establishments with 3 money signs ($$$) to determine if I'd go back and spend real $$$. Michael's was such a place and since I like steak, I was all in. I checked out the restaurant week lunch menu in advance and made a reservation for this past Saturday afternoon.Michael's is far from where I live but that actually doesn't factor into my 2 star review. I walked into the restaurant and was shocked at how divey it was. It looked like it's not been renovated since the early 70s. There was super dark paneling throughout, no windows, dated art, tables, and chairs. I was seated in the far back and was back there FREEZING. The hostess seated me with menus and I was surprised to see the petite filet mignon I'd planned to order was not on it. I'd seen it on the online menu, so I verified with the waitress when she approached the table. Her response was "How old is that menu?" (meaning the one online, which I'd think was recent as it was on the 2022 restaurant week website). So strike one. I ended up ordering the Old Fashioned Maryland Crab Soup and some rib tips, plus a side of green beans. The soup was ok, I mostly used it to stay warm, which was hard because the serving was so small and hard to hold. The rib tips were sautéed and on a bed of rice, onions, and green peppers. Everything BUT the rib tips on that plate was good. The meat, which I'd asked for medium rare, was over cooked and under seasoned. I had to salt everything and douse it with A1. The green beans were in a small dish on their own, which is fortunate because they didn't taste good AT ALL and I didn't want them rubbing up against the rice and veggies which were actually decent.Not sure why this place is $$$. I wouldn't pay regular price. I gave 2 stars for good service. Dassit.

Love this restaurant....I have been going here for many years. Decor has not changed but neither has the great food and service.

10/24/2021, my wife and I dropped by this place on our way home. We ordered a medium rare T-bone and well-done a sautéed tenderloin tips. The T-bone steak came with two sides and the Tenderloins came with one side.Before the meals came, the waiter brought a basket of bread. The bread was pretty good!The food came out in a reasonable amount of time.T-bone steak with string beans and fries $40: I asked for rare, and the steak came out rare! The seasoning was spot on! The fries were great! The string beans was just not to my taste... 4.9/5.0 and the string bean is the only flaw!Well-done sautéed tenderloin tips with pickled beets on a bed of rice $27: my wife thought the rice was super delicious! The bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms were great complements! Even though the dish was well-done, the tenderloins were still very juicy! My wife couldn't stop gushing over the dish! She rated the dish 4.9/5.0. I think the only slight imperfection she mentioned was a touch of oil too much. But great dish nonetheless! I gave the dish a 4.6-4.7ish because I didn't like well-done tenderloins. I also didn't like the beets.Service: attentive and very hospitable!My wife and I will definitely come back even though the drive is 45minutes away!

Best crab cakes in Baltimore. All the food is outstanding. Service is great . The staff and owners are very friendly and accommodating. The decor is a little dated . One of my favorite places to eat.

Restaurant Week 2022 is upon us, and my wife and I were looking for the usual suspects where we can get great value for what we were paying; we stumbled upon Michael's. Upon entering, it was as if my wife and I went into a time machine as the place looked like it was a step back in time; I even had to make a call for a reservation.We had made our selections for Restaurant Week, including a Chesapeake Dirty for my wife and a House Salad for myself. Our server looked like she had been at the same place since it opened, so we knew we were in for a real treat. However, the server brought two cups of Dirty to our table, and I told her that I had the salad, and she said you keep that, and I'll bring your salad. Both of us got the 1 lb NY strip with the imperial, and we can't say that we were disappointed, the imperial was super meaty, and the steak was cooked right. I had the steak fries, which were not overwhelming and quite tasty, and the brussels sprouts; well, they are like the one's mom used to feed you and not the ones served now.For dessert, I thought I was going to get something unique as a baklava sundae; it is not; it is baklava with a la mode, but it still did the trick.The atmosphere is very familial; the bartenders get to know their regulars and know exactly what they want. They also take pride in Baltimore sports, as over half the conversation was dedicated to O's baseball.My take, come for Restaurant Week, you're paying for just the steak topped with the imperial every other food item is a nice extra; outside of RW, get the Imperial, which is worth the extra few dollars.

I love the prime rib special and the cream of crab . The atmosphere does need a upgrade but the staff is nice and attentive
