This bar is an absolute gem! The food is killer-seriously, you’ve got to try the wings; they’re a game changer. With 12 beers on tap, you’ll have plenty of options to wash it all down. The vibe is laid-back and fun, making it the perfect spot to kick back with friends. Plus, the staff is top notch!

As a local, I wanted to love this place, but unfortunately a pretty disappointing experience.
Because this restaurant advertises a full menu, we were under the assumption that this would be a family- friendly environment. We arrived at 12:30pm on a Saturday for lunch with our 1 and 2 year old in Feb (non-peak time of course). The restaurant has no high chairs. This was honestly the first time I’ve ever been to a restaurant that did not have high chairs. I totally respect if the goal of this place is a “no children” kind of vibe. Trying to hold an infant / toddler while attempting to eat a burger is not cute- so a heads up would have been much appreciated on the socials/ website etc prior to arrival. Burgers were overcooked, buns were hard. Jalapeño poppers on the other hand were delish. Waitress was very friendly. Not usually a review gal, but families deserve a heads up that this probably is not the spot and likely not worth the trip for the poppers.

Excellent place. Really enjoyed the live music. The food was really good. The bartender had a great sense of humor and kept my drink topped off. Definitely a place i will be going back to

Mike’s Tavern is now my go to place. The burgers are phenomenal and it’s great they use fresh cut jalapeños instead of pickled. I had the opportunity to meet the owner who is a great person. He put a lot of work into to the place to make sure it is not only unique but flows well. I’m going to work my way down the menu at this place. Drinks are reasonably priced and the food is off the hook good.

While this may not be my kind of bar, it certainly is for a lot of people. Not quite a dive bar, but close. While the food, beer, and drink selection is wide and vast, most were drinking light beer. I guess it’s the type of place that’s good for Mille Lite, Bud Light, Coors Light kinda drinkers, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
They had a lot of trouble with the TV’s and had odd shows on. One person watching watching a football game on his phone because they couldn’t play more than 1 game at a time.
Lighting seemed a bit bright. Lots of live music that you don’t usually see in the area.
There’s no real sign so it can be hard to find. The view of the water is a gravel parking lot and there isn’t really outdoor space.
Didn’t eat although there is a full menu. Seems more of a late night hang out spot than a restaurant.

Captain Mike’s Tavern has some of the best food and drinks on the island! I had the smash burger with the home made chips, and it was AMAZING! Chef Crystal made it special for me, and I ate every bite! The atmosphere is great. There’s plenty of room to socialize, both inside and outside. This place will be a staple in Surf City for many years to come! Congrats Capt. Mike & Ashley! You guys hit it out of the park with this one! Cheers!

Everything was off – the food we ordered was not great. The smash burger was super thin and overcooked. The hotdog that my nephew ordered was meh. It was missing the toppings he ordered. I hope that they do better. I know it’s a new business but the food was not good and they didn’t ask how we enjoyed it. Also half of the menu was unavailable because they missed a delivery.
There were other components to the meal that were not enjoyable but I will end the review here. Wishing them luck and hoping they use feedback to fix the problems.

By luck we docked at the wrong place, and Captain Mike himself greeted us with open arms. We decided to try out the food and drink.and the burgers were fantastic. The jalapeño slices and the burger was stuffed with pepper jack cheese. We also had wings and they were big and delicious. Will make the wrong turn again. Thanks Captain Mike!!! #SailingTupeloHoney

Went to Captain Mikes for the first time. Joey did an excellent job on our lunch- burgers were phenonmenal. And the service provided by Megan was top notch.
My go to burger place from now on.
Highly recomended- best smash at the beach.

I tried this place for the second time the other night and was very disappointed. The first time, they were out of Pinot Grigio. They had just opened fairly recently at that time so I figured it was due to that – not being on top of inventory yet. They did have Sauvignon Blanc so I settled for that.
I really had been wanting to try the food due to all of the rave reviews online. One review in particular was about how the Buffalo wings were the best that a Buffalo native has ever had outside of Buffalo, NY. I went in a couple of nights ago set on getting some delicious wings. 1st problem – no Pinot Grigio. 2nd problem – no Sauvignon Blanc. My 3rd choice because I despise Chardonnay was just an unsweet tea. Not an option. It wasn’t a great start but I still wanted the wings bad enough that I just ordered a sweet tea.
We ordered pretzel bites as an appetizer. They were way over done and crispy – not one was soft at all on the inside. We left the majority in the basket and the server did not ask if anything was wrong with them. The 1/2 pound of wings came out. There were 3 whole wings. I have never in my life ordered wings and gotten whole wings. I’m definitely not a fan of them. But if the sauce had been good and the wings themselves good, it would have been alright. Sadly, the wings were really crispy and did not have a lot of sauce or meat on them at all.
My date did like his food and one drink that he ordered.
I do like the atmosphere and location but I’m not sure I will go back.
