We absolutely love the great catch. The food is awesome. We also love Kris Pierre's music. The wait staff is always on their toes.

Service was very good. I got the Fisherman's Platter and it was very good (and enough food for lunch the next day). My wife got the crab legs. The only issue with her meal is that the drawn butter for the crab was a nasty brown color (maybe it was burnt?) and had some weird particles at the bottom. It tasted strange. Not the end of the world, but when we told the server it took quite a while to get some new drawn butter and when we showed her the difference between the two bowls, she seemed rather nonchalant about it. She should have seen that something was off with the first bowl. Still a good meal and good service, we will definitely go back.

We had an amazing lunch today. Service by Laura was outstanding. Food was great - as New Englanders, a real Lobster roll is a true craving and The Great Catch never disappoints! The onion rings are just like my favorite spot from back home. We tried the linguine with shrimp and sea scallops, a new choice for us, and it was delicious as well! We usually get take out (which is always yummy), but really enjoyed dining in today - such a great mid-week treat! Thank you for bringing a great taste of New England to Florida and for the terrific service!

Service was great our server was fast and friendly an offered recommendations.food was decent, don't get me wrong not bad at all. But for me the Calamari, and the Lobster Rolls we got didn't taste all that fresh or flavorful. Not saying that the food was spoiled it was not it was decent. But when I drive to a coastal city I just thought it would be fresher. Would I go again? yes. But would I drive out of my way? No. So in conclusion if your in the area, give them a shot. Who knows you might even enjoy the more than I did.

As much as we liked this place and the food, in the past, we were really dissapointed today. They still do not have the good crispy French fries they used to have. The French fries they serve now such. Saggy instead of crispy and tasteless. the clamchowder costs $9.49 + tax + tip. The one I had today, was more a potato soup than clam chowder. Tiny little poeces.of clams I had to literally search for! AND they do not serve bacon because of the LENT !!! For 40 days? seriously? Both, the chowder.as well as the green beans were tasteless. Nothing like what we were used to. They do not give discount for not serving the bacon (I guess they just enjoy having extra profit). They should at least have bacon bits at a side and give that to people who care for bacon rather than for lent. Not everyone is a Christian and not every Christian follows the lent that strictly. Very very very disappointed with our food today. lunch $19.99 for salmon with tasteless greenbeans and $9.49 for tasteless "potatoe" chowder + tax + tip is a little too much for a lunch I did not enjoy at all. Oh, I almost forgot. what was supposed to be a Holandeise sauce to come with salmon, was a kind of green tasteless "glue". Probably just pure starch. Disgusting! No lemon with the fish either. If we ever go back, it will be only after they have their "lent" over, we will double-check that they have the good French fries back .. and only then we can give them one more chance. :-(

We stopped at this place as we were driving by the area. The take out process was very quick and the staff was super friendly. The food came out in 15 minutes. The Mahi Mahi taco was HUGE! The fillet was tasty and could have easily been shared by 2 people. The Grouper sandwich and the Basa sandwich were both delicious. The portions of fries were a bit too much. The French Onion soup was a bit too salty and the Lobster Bisque was not the traditional Boston one. The Lobster Roll had a lot of meat and was quite delicious. The Crab cake bites were perfect as an appetizer. Overall the food was good.

The food was pretty good, I had the fried basa and fries, it was good, but not the best I’ve ever had. It was quite an extensive menu, so I’d try it again with another dish. Our waitress was phenomenal ( I think her name was Linda).

Great service, unpretentious, great food. Tuesday is all you can eat Mahi-Mahi. They give you A LOT. Hubby got it blackened and it was phenomenal!!! I ordered the fisherman's platter because I wanted some variety, but once I tried his Mahi, I kept eating it. Fabulous Cole slaw, too.

The breading on the scallops, onion rings, chicken strips, and jalapeño poppers were horrible. The grease seemed to be old too. I left my food behind and the waitress never questioned why I didn’t eat any of it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

The food is excellent. The quantity is amazing and the prices are fair. I would have gave it 5 stars but the yellow rice that we ordered with one meal, just did not taste good and the fries needed salt, but overall... we definitely recommend this place and we will go back
