Absolutely our favorite restaurant even if it is quite a drive. Fried oysters are perfectly prepared. Shrimp and crab alfredo is wonderful. Have sampled entire menu (except for anything tilapia) and all are very good. Outstanding flounder recipes.; great drinks, overall really 6 stars. read more

Nice little area. I was the only customer at the time so service was excellent. Ordered the shrimp and crab Alfredo. The sauce definitely over powered the pasta and seafood. Also would have liked the dish to have more crab meat and less shells. Overall I would return but wouldn't order the same platter. read more

Had the shrimp and crab alfredo... SUPERB!! Staff is always friendly and helpful, nice place, always clean. Helpings are always on the large side... I will go back again soon!! read more

The hubs and I had lunch here recently to use a Dealsaver coupon. I bought it with some trepidation, hoping this was not a Red Lobster-type experience. But I was only in for five bucks, so we took a chance. What a relief! It is in a pretty new-looking building on the main drag in Chapin. The staff was very friendly and the prices were reasonable for seafood. Since we were there for lunch, we both ordered sandwiches. But for only a dollar or two more depending on what you ordered, we could have had a dinner entree which seemed like a very good deal to me. I had the crab cake sandwich. It was a single crab cake about the size of a quarter pound hamburger patty, served on a 'brioche' bun (their description) which was very soft, fresh and tasty. The sandwich also had a fried green tomato, a regular tomato slice (tasteless of course - folks, don't bother when they're not in season), some onion and chopped lettuce, and a zingy little remoulade dressing on the side. The sandwiches come with one side (as opposed to the entrees which come with two). I was tempted to try the fries but our server was honest with me and admitted they were frozen/out of a bag, so I went with the cole slaw instead. It was pretty good, large chunks of cabbage with a dressing some might find too sweet. My husband ordered the fried shrimp po boy and said it was good. It was served on a sub roll with lettuce, tomato and onion and the remoulade. The shrimp were pretty fat. He ordered onion rings for his side. They were good sized and had that flaky crisp batter that we both like so much more than that stuff that looks like doughnut batter. Overall I would say this was a pretty good value. The only thing I didn't love was the decor/atmosphere. Too late, I noticed two very nice outdoor patio spaces that I would try to get in future. The interior decor was so odd. Wood trim/wainscoting ran along the wall about 4 feet off the floor. Above the wood trim the color scheme was perfectly serviceable light and dark grays. Below was a ruby (or garnet??) red, playing off a similar darker tone on the tile floor. Each booth was lit by a cheery red glass pendant light. So far, so good. But the booths were upholstered in a royal blue vinyl. One area had a cheap looking 4 top shoved into a space that wasn't quite big enough to add another booth. Overall it just kept me wondering what on earth they were going for with that color scheme. I guess if they took over the space from someone else, they were kinda stuck with the most expensive items to replace (blue booths and red tile floor). In any case, I've eaten better food in worse-looking places. The decor wouldn't keep me from coming back. I would like to try their shrimp n grits and also their collards. read more

Went to go see BK play his guitar and sing his songs, had dinner while we there. Food and service were good. Flounder and grits were really good. Mahi was tasty but a little under cooked, collards were outstanding. I'd go back. read more

We came here for lunch for my grandmother's 88th birthday. Sarah was an incredible server. It was wonderful. I ordered the crab cakes and was pleasantly surprised that they were full of crabmeat! The slaw had just a hint of dill and was delightful! I would recommend Catch 22 to anyone! read more

CRAB CAKES are OUT OF THIS WORLD good!! Oysters were shockingly awesome too. Haven't had a bad experience here yet!

The patty melt was not good. My burger was over cooked and tougher than the bottom of my shoe. My onion rings tasted like straight up fish. My husband has the chicken Cesar wrap and said it was ok. Sweet potato fries were good. read more

I have been here a couple of times and have been pleased each time. I went in one evening during my dinner break from work. I wasn't very hungry so I asked if I could just get a lunch portion of the Shrimp Alfredo and they were happy to accommodate me. Glad they did, it was excellent. When they have the Chilean Sea Bass special I highly recommend it. read more

We eat a couple times a month at Catch 22 and have always had great service. Love the ahi tuna salad and crispy flounder as well as shrimp and grits. Fried or broiled seafood is delicious and fresh. Favorite restaurant in Chapin hands down. read more

Was seated right away by a very nice hostess. After that it went straight down hill. Sat there for 15 mins without so much as a Hi or be right with you. They werent that busy and could have reset our clock by just acknowledging our presence. We finally just got up and left. Can speculate on the food or drinks. Never made it that far. read more

We went for lunch, timidly, as the restaurant's website offered little to entice us. However, we were very pleased with the impeccable service offered by our waiter, Gabriel; the fresh and delicious food from the chef; and the well-priced variety of items on the menu from management.. On this visit we ordered shrimp & grits, flounder, mixed veggies, side salad. Portions are solid and seasonings used are delicious! We will definitely return. read more

Very enjoyable food , service , dine out here weekly and always great collards , seafood , wine . Money well spent at Catch 22

We have eaten here twice and both times had good service and delicious food. I especially enjoyed the Cajun Pasta. The Grilled Shrimp and Crab Alfredo was delicious but a little too rich for me. My spouse enjoyed the salmon special and the Combo of Three, the snow peas were cooked just right. read more

The food and service were very good. We went on a Thursday night hoping to miss the weekend rush. We did not have to wait and nearly all the tables were occupied. The only negative is that is was very noisy. My wife and I just gave up trying to talk across the table. I noticed others cupping their hands to their ears to hear their table's conversation also. I will go back... maybe try another night! read more

Service was excellent and great clean environment. Food was delicious too and good sized portions. I recommend the crab and cream cheese wantons to start off! read more

Catch 22 - Crab cake sandwich and American burger - Seafood Near Me - Chapin, South Carolina

I love this place! They've got my favorites along with something new for me to try if I'm feeling froggy! It never disappoints. The service is wonderful. They are good with recommendations if I need one. Everyone is friendly, quick, efficient, and my food is always exactly as I wanted it to be. Can't wait to go back! read more

We always enjoy dining here for lunch and dinner and often Sunday brunch. There have been a few times , as last nights dinner, too long a wait for food. 30 minutes after we ordered before served...unacceptable. Staff is pleasant and attentive. Aside from a periodic bump of slow food on the table (fault of kitchen, not your server) this is a good place. read more

The she crab soup is some of the best we have ever had. Who knew that in a state where she crab soup is revered, a restaurant in Chapin, SC would have the best! We have had dinner there several times. The flounder was very good too. We have also done Sunday brunch and it was crowded, the food came out fast, it was hot and our server was terrific. read more

This restaurant is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!! Robert Irvine needs to come here and feature it on Restaurant Impossible, although I'm not sure that even his impeccable knowledge of the restaurant business could turn this train-wreck around. The staff is absolutely horrible. My brother and I went in here for lunch around 11:30AM, and there was only one other party (consisting of 2 people) in the restaurant. We wanted to try it since my parents are new to the area. The waitress, Melany P., did not tend to us the way she should have considering that she had only one other table that she was helping. When I questioned her about where Catch 22 was getting their fish (whether it was imported or domestic), she said that she had no idea and she did not even try to find out for me. I was extremely unimpressed with their menu. They did not have a good variety of fish considering that their restaurant has a seafood emphasis. I expected a wide variety of sushi rolls to choose from, but there was only 5 rolls if that. The sushi rolls were between $8- 9 a piece and were the thickness of a Maki/Temaki roll, not a specialty roll. Maki/Temaki rolls only cost $5 per roll for DINNER at other very high quality sushi restaurants and are $3.50/each for lunch!! The fried green tomatoes we had as an appetizer were DISGUSTING. This restaurant does NOT have a separate fryer to cook their hushpuppies, french fries, etc. in. Rather, they are cooking them in the same fryer as they are their fish, and our fried green tomatoes tasted like fish oil. Also, I watched the person behind the raw bar who was preparing my sushi roll and she did NOT wash her hands or use gloves. I have been to extremely high quality sushi/Asian fusion restaurants and every single time they have used gloves, because it does NOT affect one's ability to prepare the sushi correctly. I did NOT touch my sushi roll, but instead got it "to go" and threw the darn thing away as soon as we got out of the restaurant. I am reporting this restaurant to the Health Department, because of the health violations that we witnessed. The prices were another major problem. As I am writing this I have my receipt in front of me. For 4 slices of fried green tomatoes my brother and I paid $6.99. The remoulade sauce Catch 22 serves with them comes from Cisco. The Maki/Temaki roll I got cost me $8.99, and my brother's Flounder Po Boy cost him $7.99. I will give credit where credit is due, the Flounder Po Boy was pretty good. However, I was appalled when we received our bill and it amounted to $27.78!! FOR LUNCH!!!!!! Catch 22 used to have another location in Columbia, but shut it down and now just has the one in Chapin, which is a red flag. It is no wonder this business is failing. We will NEVER go back here again. I encourage anyone who wants to get some lunch to go to McDonalad's, Wendy's, Burger King, or the like. Cisco supplies them too, and at least you'll pay only $10 maximum for some very low-quality food versus $30. However, if you want some good quality food in Chapin, go to Zorba's Greek Tavern or La Fogata's Mexican Restaurant for lunch. Both are always busy during lunch hour, but there is a reason - both restaurants have amazing food and the wait staff is wonderful at both places. read more

If I could put zero stars i would. This is the worst restaurant I've ever been to hands down. The steak tasted like it came out if the back of one of those dudes trucks with the freezer in the back. I couldn't eat it. By the way it was 18.00 dollars wasted. The calamari was god awful.If you expect good food stay away! This is the first time I've ever complained about a restaurant. The staff didn't know their butt from a hole in the wall. read more

First of all, let me say that if Nicole had not been our bartender, this review would have gotten a ZERO! She was friendly, attentive, and professional. I do not regularly write restaurant reviews, but was so humiliated by the manager (she may be the owner, I'm not sure) at this restaurant that I felt the need to let others know. Don't waste your money in an establishment that does not value your patronage. It is an over-priced pub at best! I had looked forward to my visit as one of my favorite performers, Bil Krauss, was performing there on Friday night. Let me add here that his name is BIL, not BILL, as they put all over their facebook pages--something they should know since he performs there often and the pay him to do so (and there are advertisements all over the place). He deserves at a minimum for them to know his name! But anyways... terrible experience! Some friends and I agreed to meet for dinner and drinks, and watch the performance afterwards. Two of our friends were not coming for dinner, but agreed to meet for the outdoor entertainment after dinner. After having drinks at the bar and then dinner at a table, we moved outside to await our friends and watch the performance. There is very minimal seating there, but we made sure to eat early enough to a get a table outside when the performance began. We selected a four-top table and sat down to order drinks. After sitting for almost 20 minutes, and watching other tables with couples being served their drinks and give their dinner orders, we were completely ignored. Finally, as we discussed what was going on and tried to get service, a lady who I assume to be the manager or owner, came to the table and told us "This table is reserved." We looked around as there were no other tables available at this point and it was obvious that NO tables were reserved. There was nothing marked reserved and when several groups arrived, it was obvious that they looked around and selected whatever table was available. I might add here that there is minimal seating on the patio anyways. Anyways, she stood there and seemed to be waiting for us to get up and leave!!!! My friend indicated that we had really looked forward to watching Bil's performance and inquired as to what other options were available. She finally reluctantly agreed to find us some "chairs or something"! My friend mentioned that we had other folks coming and would need a table obviously. I was humiliated and will never return! I also want to warn others who might be tempted to visit, in addition to the terrible service and being totally humiliated, there is a strong odor from the sewer or trash dumpster on the back patio--I would not recommend sitting out there after experiencing it. I am sorry to have missed the show, but will not spend more money in an establishment that does not value my patronage. I spent too much money on drinks and dinner to be treated like trash. I do NOT recommend this establishment, most significantly because of the lack of customer service, humiliating experience, as well as the highly unpleasant sewer/trash dumpster odor outside on the patio. It is obvious that they do not value their customers and are very unprofessional. Don't risk wasting your money! read more
