We we recently had a delightful seafood dinner at Catch 22. After arriving without reservations, we were greeted warmly and shown to a comfortable booth. It was a Friday evening and the restaurant was quite full. Three of us ordered a fancy margarita--I believe it was coconut flavored. I ordered a glass of Riesling. It was surprisingly on the dry side, which I didn't mind at all. My wife didn't care for her margarita, and thus just confirmed once again that she does care for tequila-based drinks. For our entrées, D, his wife and I had seafood platters; his was deep fried, and mine was broiled. He got two seafood selections and I got three--oysters, shrimp and scallops. She went with a fried oyster platter. My broiled seafood was simply seasoned with Old Bay, but it worked for me. The oysters were sweet and lightly broiled. The shrimp was flavorful, as well as the scallops. While I didn't taste any deep fried seafood, the batter looked crunchy and lightly breaded. My wife had the she-crab soup, with a side of sherry, and she loved it. It was creamy, and was served with a dollop of crab on top. She also had a spinach salad with almonds and strawberries-- topped with baked salmon. The sides for our platters included sweet and white potato fries, and cole slaw. I was impressed with the price of my platter, how it was prepared, and the flavor. We opted for a unique desert--a gelato bomb. It consists of a ball of ice cream wrapped in chocolate cake. Very good. Our server was very pleasant and accommodating . I think her name was Chelsea. She is a fine server. Hats off to Catch 22. Keep up the good work. read more

The hubs and I went here for dinner on Friday night because we were craving seafood. When we got there, there is only about a 10 minute wait so we decided to stay. A cute restaurant, but definitely a little crowded as far as space and very loud. We were greeted by a very lovely young lady who was our server. She told us all about the specials and was very helpful in recommending items off the menu. We ordered the crab cake appetizer, the choose two, fried shrimp and fried scallops and a teriyaki salmon special. The crabcakes were to die for! I wish now that I had ordered those as my meal. They were super flavorful and you could tell that they were handmade and not frozen. The fried shrimp was excellent as was the salmon special. The scallops were good, but I think next time I would order them broiled. We had one small issue, which I mentioned to another server. My husband ordered an old-fashioned to drink. When it came, the ball of ice, they used was too big for the glass. When he took the ice out, the amount of liquid (alcohol and such) Was equal to about maybe 3 tablespoons. For as much as we paid for that drink, there should've been more than two sips. When I mentioned it to the server, she was apologetic and said that the person behind the bar was training and that next time we should ask for her. All in all, it was a wonderful dinner and we will definitely be back! read more

This is really good seafood (and other stuff, but the seafood is my favorite). Service is great every time. The ambiance in the main area is quintessential calabash seafood restaurant. For a slightly more elevated atmosphere, try the bar or back terrace. I had a friend note that they run out of specials early; this is because the food is fresh and, when it's this good, there are rarely leftovers. Good cocktails and amazing desserts. Best dinner in town. read more

Three of us visited last night and totally enjoyed dinner. My crab stuffed flounder was excellent and the asparagus and hush puppies were both amazing. My wife tried the scallops and commented on how good they were. Brandi provided us with outstanding customer service and her courteous manner was greatly appreciated. We will return another time. read more

Love Catch 22! My husband & I have been here many times over the years! One of our fave hometown spots! The food is amazing & always receive great service! read more

This place was really good. Met our expectations and then some. We are down at Lake Murray for my kids bday weekend renting a boat and air b and b. We looked for a local seafood restaurant. We asked around and we got generic places around the lake to go, but 15 min away we'll worth it...okay now onto the food. I got the shrimp and grits...awesome. Shrimp tasted incredible. She crab soup, I ordered two bowls because it was amazing. My wife tried the crab cakes for the appetizer and that did not disappoint. She got the shrimp and scallop combo platter. Broiled scallops and fried shrimp cooked to perfection. She also got hush puppies. The kiddos got separate plates, blackened chicken Alfredo, ribeye, Cajun pasta (x2). The boys killed off their plates and said everything was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone not native to the area and if you are a local and haven't been there yet, you are missing out. Next year when we come back down for our long weekend, we will be back most definitely. read more

We ordered the specials (arctic char and scallops) and they were delicious. Scallops had a pineapple glaze which we were initially skeptical about, but it was delicious. read more

Service was great. Food was great. A little loud to have a conversation at times, especially for my 85 year old mother who chose them for her birthday. Good cocktails. Like the banana run runner in particular. read more

Very nice restaurant. Went on a Tuesday evening and rather surprised with the large crowd. Good size portions (large). Nice ambiance but can be loud when packed. I had the broiled flounder with fried oysters, grits and hush puppies. The sides were wonderful. Wife had shrimp and oysters with sweet potato fries and cole slaw. One friend had crab cakes ( hush puppies and cole slaw). His wife had fried flounder, mashed potatoes and hush puppies. Everyone was pleased. They have a nice bar but we didn't sample. Good service. They have outside dining as well. read more

Try the Shrimp & Grits with Sausage. Best time to go is during the week midday. The vibe is "Welcome Home". As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a smile. You'll get a boost of serotonin as a result of nostalgic 80's music playing overhead and 90's hit TV Shows like "Friends" displaying on screens. It's a comy-cozy local eatery that feels like it's always been around to serve homestyle meals. read more

I want to give this place 4 stars minimum. I really do. But I can't. First, the service was a little slow. Not horrible but it cost them a star. The big problem is the fact that they charge double for dinner for the same menu items they have for lunch. Not larger portions mind you, just larger prices (we were there for a very late lunch). Secondly; hushpuppies is considered a side. Every seafood I've ever been to treats it like bread (which it is). Finally; they charge more for using a credit card. Not that much but another nail in the coffin. As for the food, it was very good. We had fried flounder, shrimp and oysters. The food alone deserves a four. Unfortunately; that's not the only thing at play here. read more

A fantastic find in little 'ole Chapin. We went for a nice dinner out, it was a Tuesday, but prime time for eating and we were seated outside immediately. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. I asked for no butter or oil to be used and wasn't expecting a lot, but the seasoning and taste made my meal perfect and healthy! Love that they would accomodate. The prices were very reasonable ($18 for a choice of 2 broiled or fried seafood items + 2 sides) and my friends said the hush puppies are a 'not to be missed.' Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing food and wonderful service! It was a little noisy but it was a really busy night!!

We tried this for the first time, me and my sister getting there near 11:30PM. We were immediately seated, and our waitress greeted us with a smile every time she came to the table. Made sure everything was good, gave us refills, just amazing and polite. We got there early, so the wait time on our food wasn't long at all. We were given an actual bottle of ketchup for our sweet potato fries, but we didn't use it though. Still, gotta appreciate the attentiveness of the waitress. Food was really good, blackened salmon just right; not undercooked and nor was it dry. It's really good with the lemon, and with me and my sister's sweet potato fries, they were nice and crispy. I had a side of veggies which were cooked good, and it consisted of yellow squash, zucchini, and onions. They are lightly seasoned with butter, but if you are the type that wants them seasoned a bit more, salt and pepper are available on the table. As for my sister's po' boy the fish was not overdone with a nice crunch, so nothing dry here. Definitely will be back again. read more

Wonderful food and service. We wanted to find a seafood restaurant near Lexington and I'm glad we stumbled into this place. I ordered the ahi tuna, my wife and a friend ordered the red snapper, and our other friend ordered a sampler platter. Everyone agreed this was much fresher and tastier seafood than we can find locally (near Augusta, GA) and this will definitely be a return trip next time we are in town. Drinks were also very good (mules are really impressive) and every worker we encountered was very nice and responsive. Only one complaint: very loud room. Maybe some curtains or sound treatment would help, but the sustained roar might be problematic for sensitive ears (my dad wouldn't be able to eat here due to his tinnitus). read more

Whether dining in or carrying out the food has been consistently good. We've enjoyed a number of meals ranging from grilled salmon to fried oysters and shrimp. read more

Great local spot for fish and seafood. Service is good and prices are fair for the type and quality of food.

The food is delicious The service was very good It's a very good seafood type restaurant

Great food and great service. We go frequently and would highly recommend them! We love their specials which change every week.

When we receive order and express " not the same as last visit " ie Fish Portion NOT same / hush puppies too hard and Sides ( not properly drained ) running into the Main Entree We always get a nonChallant remark by waiter at which time I've asked for Mgmt whom she ALSO SEEMS NOT TO CARE . . Inferring " you're the only one complains " Sorry but just being honest and wanting " what I paid for " read more

Excellent fresh seafood. Service is a bit slow but the wait staff are friendly. The decor needs to be updated , it looks a bit worn . Overall this place is solid good food. read more

The food is so good I could eat here every single day. We go with a group of friends and absolutely one of our fav places to go! The servers are attentive, the presentation is amazing and we always thoroughly enjoy ourselves! Kudos to the chef and entire staff! read more

Always great food and service!Best fried shrimp around! Haven't had a bad there ever!

My cousins and I always get takeout from here. It is really excellent seafood. Check it out when you're in Columbia.

Delicious seafood at such incredible prices! We live in Chapin and can't believe how lucky we are to have such a high quality restaurant with incredible seafood and specials at such affordable prices. The staff is always super friendly and they take reservations. The meals have always been spectacular with the freshest seafood. There are multiple options for the spices. The garlic mashed potatoes are out of this world! The fish is cooked to perfection. Love, love, love this restaurant! And it's in a quiet little spot not far off route 26. Anyone traveling who might want a quality dinner would find this gem to be a welcome place to eat. And for the record, I just like to promote the local businesses, so I have no motive other than sharing and hoping to bring more business into these struggling, family owned restaurants. read more

We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is ALWAYS AMAZING and the prices could not be better, especially for their seafood. Also, we have always found their servers to be spot on. This last time we had a young man named Christian. If the restaurant ownership sees this post, you all need to give that young man a raise or a bonus or something. He is one of the best waiters we've had in ANY restaurant anywhere, so polite, welcoming, knowledgeable of the menu and right on top of our requests during the meal. If you haven't been to Catch 22, go soon, ask if Christian can wait on you, get the grouper bites for an app, and the shrimp and grits ask for your meal! You will not be disappointed. read more

Everyone's food was great. Large portions and cooked to perfection. Service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely come back.

First time there was great! Second time was good but not great. Will give it a third try soon.

FOOD was awesome ! Service was Great, attentive without being overbearing. The honey/ butter for the hush puppies was Amazing. highly recommend this place. Bathrooms clean, restaurant was clean . read more

Catch 22 - Upper dish is crab cakes & hush puppies & coleslaw. Bottom dish is Fried shrimp plate with hush puppies & coleslaw. - Seafood Near Me - Chapin, South Carolina

1 out of 4 visits was OK! Seafood is either undercooked or overcooked. There seems to be no rhyme or rhythm to the cooking here.

Seafood is my favorite food -- all types (with the exception of raw oysters!). I had the fried combo plate of fried oysters and fried fish. It was fabulous; 100% delicious. We got a basket of hush puppies to share among 4 people; make sure you order the basket. They were fantastic (love the sauce that came with them). I have eaten fried fish everywhere I have lived: several areas of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and Georgia. Catch 22 has the best, the absolute best, of anywhere I have been. I sincerely wish the owners would consider opening one in my area. I can assure them it would be a winner! We do not have any seafood restaurants in this part of Georgia and citizens are begging for one. I can put you in contact with the City Council in my area to get the ball rolling if you are interested. I hope you will consider my suggestion! read more
