Michael's Showside Grill
About This Spot
Stepping into Michael's Showside Grill in the heart of Spring Hope, you’re immediately embraced by a warm, inviting space that effortlessly blends the charm of a neighborhood bar with the laid-back comfort of a local grill. The atmosphere carries a gentle hum of easy conversation and laughter, where familiar faces might greet you by name and strangers soon feel like friends. It’s a place where time slows just enough to savor good company, great music, and honest, satisfying food.
The pace here is unhurried, perfect for lingering over a meal or unwinding with a drink while live music spills softly through the venue. Whether it’s a casual dinner, a weekend date night, or celebrating a special occasion, Michael’s finds a way to make every visit feel personal and unpretentious.
Food and flavor tell a story all their own at Showside Grill. Think sea-sprayed dishes inspired by the Carolina coast — shrimp and grits that comfort like an old friend, tender scallops kissed with fresh herbs, or crispy fried cheese so generous it’s a shared delight. The menu’s variety invites discovery, whether you’re drawn to classic seafood plates, hearty Southern staples, or indulgent desserts that cap the evening with just the right sweetness.
True to its roots, the show here isn’t just on the plate. It’s in the moments: a server’s genuine smile, the subtle rhythm of a live tune, a couple savoring their first visit, or locals gathering for a familiar night out. Michael’s Showside Grill feels less like a restaurant and more like an extended living room — a place where food, music, and community come together in a comfortable, understated harmony.

I ordered Scallops with potato salad and cole slaw, perfect meal portion for an adult. No words can EVER be enough on how good this place is. Between how nice staff is, classy restaurant, and how good the food is. First time in town and won't be the last definitely.

Hubby and I are new to the area and have been exploring the local restaurants. Let's talk about the fried cheese served at the Showside Grill!!! You better have a companion to help eat the fried cheese. It could be a whole meal by itself. Hubby got the Maui burger and I got shrimp & grits. All the food was delicious and service was top notch.

Fantastic, locally owned restaurant in Spring Hope. The food is incredible and reasonably priced. They also have a bar and some nights with live music. Can't recommend this place enough!

This is a hidden gem. My wife and I went there today for a date and the food was delicious. Great atmosphere and the service was good also. We will be back.

What a hidden gem! Everything we ordered was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. We started off with the mozzarella appetizer-It was hands-down, the best I’ve ever had. I had the pecan crusted scallops, and my husband ordered the fish tacos. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. We finished with Oreo cheesecake and blueberry cobbler with ice cream. Our server, Amy was fantastic.- attentive and friendly, and she made sure our drinks were never empty. We truly had a wonderful experience. It was our first visit, but definitely not our last. To top it off, the owner was on-site and took the time to stop by our table, which made this evening feel even more special. Thank you for the amazing. Hospitality will see you again soon!
