Not impressed.
Went for lunch-- the place was not decorated well -- the TV was playing Spongebob for one of the employee's kid. I ordered the salmon. Nothing special. The smoked flavor was there but it was overcooked and not flavorful. The vegetable sides were bland too. I would have enjoyed Longhorn's or Red Lobster more.

Disappointed
OK first let me say that when my party of 6 FINALLY got our food we were so tired of waiting that we were too sleepy too eat. The chicken breast was dry and served with a side of barbecue sauce, which still didn't help out. I have to say that the smoked wings and the ribs were AWESOME. We RSVP'D and the hostess sat us as soon as we walked in, which was about 7pm. The waiter took our order around 7:15 and we finally got our food at 8:20. They left off some of our side dishes and we asked if we can replace it with dessert and the watiter said yes, but it will take a long time to get it out to us because they have to bake itWOW!! That is sad! We asked the waiter if we can have an additional set of silverware because one of my friends didn'[t have silverware at her table, well the watier never brung our silverware. We had to ask another waiter. After we ate, the waiter brung our bill and and put the wrong amounts on our cardsThat took another 20 minutes to straighten out. The waiter acted as if it was our faults instead of his and had a major atttude with us. Michons has the potential to be dynamic restaurant, the ambience, the music, the drinks are good, and the smoked meats are very good. But, the owner needs to make their employees take a customer service training class for about 1 week.

Great Bar Staff!!!
I had been to Michon's before they moved to their new location and experienced great music, even greater food, but poor customer service. Three of my friends and I went last weekend and sat at the bar due to the table seating wait time being over 45 mins. The bartenders were very nice and worked well together. The bartender that served us was very bubbly and sweet. She suggested several drinks that we had never tried before but really enjoyed. She stated she had only been working there for a few months but was knowledgeable when we asked her about the company and the food. We had a great time and will definitely return!

The food is good enough that you'll put up with the terrible service.
I read the reviews on here and it seemed like I'd be ok for a weekday To Go lunch. You don't need much service for a To Go order right? So I ordered the chopped pork sandwich, potato salad, peach cobbler and a drink and sat down to wait. I saw them mess up 2 To Go orders while I was waiting, so I checked mine when the guy brought it out. I said, "There's no sauce in here." He told me that extra sauce was $0.50 but that there was some already on the sandwich. Ok, most BBQ places give you a cup of sauce and let you put as much as you want when you are ready to eat it, and so it dosn't get soggy. It turns out I didn't have to worry about that. Because either the kid lied about putting sauce on the sandwich, or they've invented a clear, tasteless BBQ sauce. Even dry as it was, the sandwich was good. I'd have glady paid an extra $0.50 to have that "extra" sauce, had I known that it doesn't come with any. If you order out, MAKE SURE TO GET SAUCE. Also, they put a pickle on the outside of the bun but under the wrapper. So the top of the bun was soggy, but not too bad, as long as you don't hate pickles. It just seems like they haven't thought a lot of their standard practices through very well. They can definitely cook BBQ, now if they can just figure out how to run a restaurant, they'll be rich.

Great smoked wings
I went to a wedding reception there. I thought it was nice. The DJ shouted out the bride and groom. They had smoked wings, salmon, and pasta salad. The food was great especially the wings with the bbq sauce. Eventhough the restaruant was open during the reception it was still an intimate reception without the disruption of regular guests.

Wish we could have eaten
The food looked good - but we never got to taste it. We were told we would have to wait 30 minutes to be seated. We heard a staff member tell another that the kitchen was backed up and not to seat anyone else. We waited and waited. The staff seemed pleasant but no one bothered to come over to assure us that we would be seated eventually. The couple that was being seated when we walked in still had not received their food 45 minutes later. There was one large party (about 50 people) and another party of about 25 people and it was a Saturday evening so we figured we came on the wrong nite and left. Maybe we'll go back, maybe we won't. I'm not at all impressed with a restaurant that can't serve people in a reasonably timely fashion. They were in their new location which was nice, howeverand the music (DJ) was pleasing. Just which we could have eaten. Get it together Michons.

Not Worth It
I have eaten at Michon's twice. Both times the quality of the food was not worth money I paid for it. It should be as cheap as Mcdonalds. Sorry it should be cheaper because MCD tastes better. It does not taste anything like the cajun or soul food it is supposed to tast like. Overall, the bad quality of the food and the prices makes this a horrible resturant that I can't believe is still in business.

SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS by MIMI W. at InsiderPages
Ordered 100 smoked wings for church reception and received nothing but raved reviews! Was highly recommended to other organizations for me the price is a little more that I can spend on a regular basis; But if you like smoked entree then this is the place.

Very good
Great service. My group was taken care of very well. The atmosphere was very nice and you can't beat the food. The quality was outstanding but did feel the prices were a tad high. Your still getting your money' worth though.
