My Aunt use to live in Galveston, over there on the West end in the Pirates Beach neighborhood, pretty close to Michael Burger.. Ive been going to Michael Burger since I was a kid, for 18 years! My Aunt moved to Santa Fe in 2009 (After Hurricane Ike) she kept her house turned it into a rental. Anyway, our family decided to spend the wkend at the house and right away, we ALL couldnt wait to hit up Michael Burger, salivating at the mouth for it lol. We went the service was TERRIBLE and the burgers did not taste like they use too, our stomachs were hurting. We spent about $68 for this dinner and even tho the service was terrible still gave a $7 tip. My uncle is well respected in Galveston, hes the General Superintendent of Gilbane, the construction company that built Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, the new courthouse/ county jail on Broadway and many other structures in Galveston like the convention center and San Luis Hotel and reconstructed the Galvez.. Just to let yall know, you really need to re-evaluate your staff and cooks.

YUK. I have had better burgers out of a microwave at midnight in a 7-11. Message to management. Its not that hard to make a really good burger but first you should be starting with FRESH MEAT and QUALITY MEAT....my burger looked like some mystery meat you get at a cafeteria in high school. People want a great burger and this isnt even a good burger. You have a neat location but poor quality for being a "Burger" place. Fries were nothing average frozen double coated type fries. Maybe there are other items on the menu that are better but its promoted as a great burger place and thats just in insult to burger lovers out there. Spent $25 on two burgers, side order of fries (big basked of fries) and one soft drink. not worth it Try it for yourself but I wont be back until I here its changed and I live on the island.

Bad. I have been a patron of Michael Burger for 15 years and told my older realator friend it was a great place. Her burger was freezer burnt. I commented on how smokey the inside was (not cigarette smoke - more like the ventilation system was not working). My friend does not drink. I ordered one beer and mistakenly walked out with the glass (half-full). When I returned inside the new owner/manager lady said I was drunk and needed to leave. We had been sitting outside. Her rudeness really hit a chord with me - bad one. I suggest that Woodys across the street starts serving food. If the burgers are bad, I dont want to imagine the weinerschnitzel. Shame - it was a wonderful place before.

This used to be such a good place. But the new management has driven the place completely downhill. food is less than average and priced like its five star. But the big drawback is incredibly rude management. Got angry at me when I tried to order a burger and mushrooms only..... then attempted to charge me for an $8 burger that came with mushrooms,cheese and avocados ect. when all I had ordered was a burger and mushrooms when I said no, to that and got s plain burger he was obviously irritated I busted him!

Somewhat disappointed and wont be returning. We are originally from a neighboring country from Germany and know how German food tastes. The Jägerschnitzel and sauce were bland and applestrudel ok but nothing special. Too much batter on popcorn shrimp. Side salad average. Pricey for the whole "fast food type" order and pick up procedure. Busboy was nice, the rest of the staff unfriendly. All 5 other restaurants we tried so far were much better choices.

Great beach burger place , great atmosphere really cold beer. We could here the music from Woody bar across the street. Rock band playing. I spoke to the owner and he recommended a double cheese bacon burger. My wife had a plain cheese burger. pretty good. However when we returned home to Kingwood later that afternoon we were both deathly ill all that night late into the next day. Sorry Michael Burger I will not be visiting you establishment again.

We had burgers, fries and soft drinks for lunch. The fries are GREAT, very crispy and flavorful. The burgers were good. The staff was friendly. The only improvement would be if they served the burgers, instead of having to pick them up at the window when your number is called. Other than that, its a great place for lunch!! One of the better Galveston establishments.

The food was average at best and WAY overpriced for what you get. On the cheap end, you are looking at $12 for fries, a soft drink and what looked and tasted like a frozen burger. The service was horrible and they dont seem to want kids in their restaurant. There is no kids menu (so yes, $12 for a kid to eat a burger, fries and drink). Wont ever go back.

Great burgers. The tiki was really good. We ordered for 10 and food was done in 15 minutes; and it was already 5:30 pm on a Saturday. Their parking lot was packed so we were amazed how quick they were. We picked up or order to go from the rv park across the road. Order was 100% accurate. Next time we will eat there. Indoors was very nice.

Stopped in late Sunday afternoon for an order to go of apple strudel. That evening to my surprise & disappointment I found my dessert to be very burnt!! I gave it a try and now know that I DONT like burnt strudel!!! Lesson learned...to inspect all my orders to go from now on!! This place is now off my list for any future visits!!

Food is fast and outstanding! I had the Campeche burger and it was excellent. We also tried fried mushrooms, the Island Deluxe burger, and the Michael Burger - all were so good, I definitely recommend this place for great tasting burgers. We didnt try the german food because were not fans, but they have plenty to try.

I couldnt believe what they charge for the sub standard food and service. The facility down to the napkins and chairs are cheap. It Is one step up from burgers you get from a corner store that you heat up in a microwave. Ill never go back. I went there so I didnt have to get fast food. Big mistake.

I love this place. I have been eating here for over 20 years. To name a few of my favorites - snitzel on rye, Reuben, Jamaica beach burger, spicy fries, German potatoes - I love it all. The hours are sometimes confusing but the food is consistently amazing. So dont let negative comments deter you!

We had burgers, grilled cheese, fries and onion rings. The fries were good. The burger was nothing to write home about but it was close by. The service was very good. Friendly staff and quick service. We would return if we needed something close and quick. Definitely better than fast food,.

Lovely place. They have a good selection of burgers, and any can be substituted with a turkey patty or chicken patty which is a great plus. We had the Jamaica burger and sweet potatoe fries today- they tasted great! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and a nice view of the water. Highly recommend!
