I had had the dip at J. Michael's a couple of times before and knew that I needed to review it for the blog; I was getting down to the nitty gritty of dips left to review on the east side, so it was off to J. Michael's after work on a Monday. | |
|
J. Michael's is a sports bar in Redmond that primarily serves to the blue collar working class. They have a pretty simple menu, lots of TVs, pool, video games, pull tabs and a very relaxed, easy going feel. | |

| Diners order at the bar from a board with the menu items posted. The dip is $7.00 and fries are $1.50. I added a salad and got a Coors Light. | |

| The French dip. You can see that it's quite large. The au jus looks funny in this picture bat it was fine. | |
|
|
The dip is quite large; lots of bread. As you can see in the picture the au jus is not enough for the sandwich's extreme amount of absorbent bread. The salad that it came with was quite plain: just cheese and a few tomatoes. | |

| A pretty big and very salty classic French dip. | |
|
This was a classic French dip that was pretty large. It was very salty and "good" but just a lot of it and at some point the sodium quantity kind of bothered me. Since I'd had so many fancy Prime Rib dips lately, this kind of dip paled in comparison for me, although it was a totally valid, fine Classic. | |

| Lots of very absorbent French bread, which ultimately required 2+ au juses to knock it down! | |
|
They provide a LOT of bread. It was fine, classic sandwich roll French bread. The bread had a slightly burnt grilled flavor. | |
|
|
|
| Quite a bit of very salty roast beef. | |
|
Enough very salty, fine-tasting roast beef. | |
|
|
| Quite a bit of rather salty roast beef on some very thick, bulky bread. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The au jus was hot and salty and fine. I had to order three bowls to make it through all of the bread!!! | |
|
|
|
Other (fun?) stuff while there | |
|
| |
| They appear to have a penchant for many toilet paper rolls. Take your pick!!! | |

|
| Redundancy is the name of the game in this mens room at J. Michael's!! | |
|
|
The bathoom at J. Michael's made me laugh. It was kind of dirty and had some silly oddities. | |
|
|
|
| Beer, pool, video games, and very basic, standard bar food. None of that fancy gourmet crap! | |

I have to give this a 5 because I really did like everything about it and wouldn't really change much. Nice job, J Michael's. | |
|
I really liked this burger dip. J Michael's is a funny little place in Redmond. They had the Seahawks on there one day and they have pull tabs, which sounded like a fun activity, so we went for it. I had to show off my reviewing skills so here we are. | |

|
| Burger good and plentiful and had a little char flavor to it that could have been an accident but added character and richness. | |
|
|
|
| Onions were good and cheese was fine. | |
|
|
|
| Jus not hot enough but good flavor | |
|
Salty and good with a nice flavor. | |
|
|
Sandwich alone good. A bit burnt but good and tasty | |
|

J. Michael's really is a sports bar "dive" in downtown Redmond. It feels like it's on a back alley and not all that appealing but after a night of partying, for example, it can be desirable. I've probably only been there three times. The reviews are memorable and their Burger Dip quite good. | |
