Great first time experience got the mahi mahi and it was fresh and cooked to a tee! Had tons of flavor and came with 2 sides! consumer service was good! clean atmospher! read more

Great location. Service could have been better. The crabby bucket is alright but I would recommend just going for the legs ; not too much meat in them. Their drinks were good but little alcohol and overpriced for what it was. You pay for location. Boyfriend chicken pasta was pretty good. Again just average read more

The only good thing about this place is the rooftop bar. It's a wonderful view. This was our first time there and it was disappointing. My boyfriend ordered a coors light and I ordered a virgin piña colada since I don't drink alcohol. On the menu, an alcoholic piña colada was $11. Since mine didn't have any alcohol, I assumed it would be around $6 or so. Nope. Still had to pay $11 for a frozen drink I couldn't even finish because the frozen ice chips in it weren't blended enough. The picture I have attached is what my drink looked like when I was leaving. Half of it was ice. I paid $11 for barely half a cup of piña colada. The blue on the cup is just to show it's cold. When I brought this up with the waitress she didn't seem very concerned - more like oh well. I won't ever be coming back here. read more

Ordered the chicken nachos and unfortunately the chicken was tasteless, the cheese used looked like it came out of a bag and was not even melted. When we mentioned this to our waitress we were told that there were 4 new chefs in the kitchen and they were still learning how to prepare the food and unfortunately no remedy was offered. Paid full price and left still hungry with our plates full. Not acceptable. read more

My boys and I dined here on Sunday evening and Anthony was our server. Highly recommend!!!! We were promptly greeted and seated upon our arrival. We were seated at table close to the entry/exit point of the kitchen. The table was fine but I felt we were in the way. Our server, Anthony, was top notch!!!!! He was so fast, friendly, always a step ahead. We didn't have to ask for refills, he already had them coming before we could even mention. Everything we could need, he already thought of! I can't stress enough how much he made our "last night of vacation dinner" such a wonderful time! Between the three of us we had: Two buckets of crab legs (does not come with potatoes/corn) Side Caesar salad Pretzel bites with beer cheese Kids fried shrimp with fries And a side of fries (comes in a basket-perfect for sharing) Everything was delicious & we left very full! We do not eat sushi, but I saw several plates/platters come out and it all looked great! We look forward to returning on our next trip. read more

Our group stopped by for lunch today while visiting Folly, and we couldn't have picked a better spot. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and the service was fantastic - super friendly and impressively quick. We decided to keep it light and ordered a bunch of appetizers to share after our dolphin tour. Everything came out fresh and hit the spot. I got the "Folly Lover" sushi roll, which was absolutely delicious - perfectly rolled and full of flavor. A lot of folks in our group went for the frozen drinks that came in fun souvenir cups, and everyone was raving about them. We also shared plates of fried calamari and chicken nachos. Both were packed with flavor and great for passing around the table. The atmosphere was laid-back and exactly what you'd want after a morning out on the water. I'd definitely come back here next time we're in the area - it's a perfect spot to relax, grab some tasty bites, and enjoy the Folly vibe. read more

We came in for a drink and some apps. Both of us got margaritas. The cup was filled to the brim with ice and they tasted like there was zero alcohol in them. Then we got peel and eat shrimp. The shrimp tasted great, but the price felt like a ripoff. We ended up heading out and not staying to order more like we wanted to. Our server was very kind, but seemed like she may have been under the influence. The whole experience felt kind of chaotic. The tables were all scuffed up and appeared dirty. Turning tables super fast with no cleaning in between. I'd checkout somewhere else if you're in the area. read more

Service was slow. Too many people packed into a small space so they could maximize tables. The food was horrible. Paid a pretty penny for the blackened mahi meal - took one bite and the fish was like chewing rubber. WILDLY overcooked - it almost tasted frozen and like they reheated it multiple times. The rice tasted like plain microwaveable rice. Another person also got the blackened mahi and their fish was no better, so it was not a fluke. Would not recommend for the price, quality, or atmosphere. read more

First of all, you come inside this place and feel the toxic environment. Secondly, customer service is horrible! We had a bartender that gave us attitude for wanting to dine in instead of taking out. The food was alright. We got the shrimp tacos and the shrimp appetizer. The tacos could have more toppings on it, it felt like I was eating a tortilla alone. And the appetizer could use more seasoning. Definitely not worth for what I payed. read more

Stopped by for the variety this restaurant had and it ended up being just okay. Their happy hour didn't really include much, no food, only like a dollar off certain beers so not great in that aspect. The burger was on special when we went and I got two rolls, spicy shrimp roll and the SC crunch roll, definitely preferred the crunch roll. Service was good but there also wasn't that many people in there either. read more

Good service from Hannah, transplant from Atlanta. Excellent Bloody Mary Great view of ocean and more, even on a foggy day. They haven't quite got their kitchen humming yet.... We had to cancel our order calamari or continue to wait and order another round of cocktails... Too early in the day for that and still needed to bike ride the 2 miles home. They were nice about it. Be patient and look around, it's beautiful to gaze upon. read more

I have been a few times and have always loved Catch 23 since they opened! Great spot to grab food before or after you head to the beach. The rooftop is a great spot to see the sunset with a view of the water. All of their Sushi is delicious, but I've also tried the Folly Burger and recommend it with their special sauce on the side as well. Highly recommend! read more

Catch 23 - Amazing Sushi rolls! - Seafood Near Me - Folly Beach, South Carolina

Skip the food, stick to drinks and stunning views on the rooftop. Not enough staff to serve patrons. I had high hopes for this establishment as their socials convey a cute beach vibe with colorful dishes and fresh sushi. Reality...Very busy and buzzing inside. Staff was friendly and but didn't have time to check in or be attentive to tables. Took 45 minutes to take food order after ordering drinks. We simplified our orders as time went on as we had little faith that food would come out fresh and on time. I got the burger and soda deal. My friend also got this and we asked multiple times for beverages that never arrived. Eventually we gave up and enjoyed the wine and folly vice. The folly vice was delicious while the burger was very meh. It gave freezer smash patty that I can make at home. Nothing special. read more

Well, this didn't go well. I'm not from the area, but judging by number and date of reviews, this is a new establishment. They gots some work to do! We stopped in craving some fish and chips. I'm partial to beer batter and the server assured me they were. The fish itself is cod. We also got a couple sushi rolls, hush puppies, and an order of snow crab along with some drinks. I'd say the restaurant and bar was moderately busy. We didn't have to wait for a table on a weeknight during spring break. It took a looooong time for the drinks to show up -- close to 15 minutes. They were fine. The food showed up a little after. When it did, sadness ensued. I knew when the fish & chips was put in front of me that I'd been had: this was not beer batter. Sigh. No matter, let's try it out... My first attempt to cut the fish with my fork barely worked. The batter was hard as a rock, and the fish inside was stringy. Obviously, seriously overcooked. It was completely inedible. I rarely send food back, but this was an exception. The server took it back to the kitchen where it was agreed this was a disaster. She apologized and comped it, which was nice. The hush puppies were flavorless bread balls. My friend who ordered the snow crab had to go at it like an animal since no crab crackers were provided. What a mess! We couldn't believe first of all that they forgot to bring them, and then couldn't locate a set anywhere in the restaurant. Umm... you guys are serving crab. Wtf? Fortunately, being from the northeast, she was able to shrug it off and get it in her mouth regardless. The sushi was probably the best part of the meal. We had two rolls: spicy tuna and something else I can't remember. They were both extremely heavy on the mayo. A real sushi chef would be horrified. It seemed very Americanized. But, the fish itself wasn't bad and we worked our way through it. Overall this was a big miss. We did like the vibe and our server, though a bit busy and overwhelmed, did her best to make sure we had a good time. Hope they can turn this place around. read more

First, our server was very polite and thanked us for our patience multiple times. In all honesty, he was amazing, but management set him up for failure. We arrived at Catch 23 and ordered drinks and an appetizer. As our server brought out our drinks he said that he put the appetizer in, but the kitchen needed a break, and we had to hold off on ordering. I asked if we could place our order and that they process it when they could and he said no. Ok, fine, we enjoyed the company (we are on vacation) and the game. When he came back and allowed us to place our order and as he was entering them he was telling us that those items were now out of stock. Many other things besides the burgers were sold out: crab legs, hush puppies, and one other thing I can't recall- it was a side but all things we ordered or was in an order we not available. In the meantime, a table that sat down after us and after we were told multiple times the kitchen was almost ready to take orders received an entire food order- we were both a party of 6. In all honesty, our server was so nice and attentive and he clearly followed what he was told and if it were not for him the experience would have been horrible. The food was basic fried bar food, which was disappointing when you planned on crab legs. I have never been to a restaurant who said you can't place an order right now because we can't handle it. It was a Sunday night and many tables were open- it certainly was not busy when we came in. read more

Service was ok but food was not very good. Appetizers - Chicken nachos, the chips were stale, chicken had zero taste. Meal - Chicken pasta - presentation was good and thats about it. The chicken had no flavor , pasta would have been better if they would have added more sauce, which was good. The entire meal lacked seasoning and sauce. Not sure if they have a new cook but we have eaten here before and it was not this bad. I took the leftovers home added Cajun seasoning and Alfredo sauce and it tasted 10x better. read more

This is a pretty nice upgrade from Snapper Jacks. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, we had a great experience! They have sushi. It is somewhat elusive, as they don't give you a sushi menu or have it online. It does exist though, and I'll post a pic of it since you can't find it anywhere else. We had the Tobago Roll and it was honestly much better than I expected it to be. I'd say it was on par with any of the really good sushi rolls I've had. It's much better than it should be for sushi on Folly Beach. You can tell the chef takes pride in the rolls and it shows. The sauces were all delicious, worked well with each other and the fish. Very nice execution. My only complaint (other than parking because, well, Folly...) is the draft beer list is only visible on a monitor in the corner that cycles through several other screens. It's not visible long enough to read it so you have to try and snap a picture. It should be on its own monitor or post it to Untappd, etc. read more

Our party of 6 was accommodated quickly to a table near the kitchen. The place was wide open so we had lots of options. Service was very quick. We all ordered drinks and food at the same time. The food was good but not great. I think everyone was focused on the attractive waiter coming in and out of the kitchen haha. I had shrimp tacos that were pathetically skimpy on the shrimp. Like they literally diced 2 shrimp and spread them over tortillas. Pretty pathetic. Someone else ordered a sushi roll that was pretty good though. read more

Service is good. Food is disappointing. They use margarine instead of butter. Food is very greasy, and somehow flavorless.

Loved the food at this spot just off Folly Beach. Good ambience and plenty of room to relax. Server in training didn't miss a beat. Good apps, great boil, nothing flashy just well executed across the board. A welcome respite from the norm and overhyped beach restaurants. Will visit again if we make it back to the area! read more

Fairly typical beachy vibes restaurant. Cocktails were fair. I had a top shelf margarita and it tastes fine but seemed like something was off. Typical burgers and fries food on the menu but also sushi. While most of the food is just ok, the sushi is delicious!!! Fresh ingredients and well made. Lots of screens for sports fans to pop in and watch their team. Service was fine; it was a busy night for a Monday and they didn't have a hostess so it took a minute to get seated. read more

Food is mid which is to be expected on folly. Thai chilli wings the flavor was good but there was barely any meat on the bones.

I'm not sure what's happening in South Carolina, but the overall quality of food and service across Mount Pleasant, Charleston, Johns island Kiawah Island and Now Folly Beach has been consistently disappointing. Too many restaurants seem poorly managed, with food that lacks care, consistency, and basic quality. In my opinion, a major part of the problem is the labor pool being hired and the standards being tolerated. Many businesses appear to prioritize filling positions quickly rather than hiring people who take pride in professionalism, cleanliness, customer service, and basic work ethic. The result is service that feels careless and disengaged, which directly affects food quality and the overall dining experience. When nearby areas like Myrtle Beach--long associated with drug problems and poor oversight--feed into the regional workforce, it's not surprising that those issues spill over. Instead of enforcing higher expectations, many establishments seem to accept subpar behavior, questionable presentation, and attitudes that reflect poor judgment and ideological distractions rather than a focus on doing the job well. Employees in Service industry Covered in nasty tattoos Nose and Lip rings Purple hair and filthy looking , it's no Wonder South Carolina and Folly Beach are suffering with lack luster drug addiction looking employees South Carolina has incredible potential, especially in Charleston and the surrounding areas, but the current approach to hiring and management is hurting local businesses. Until restaurants and stores raise their standards for who they employ and how they train them, the food and service will continue to suffer. This was one of the worst places I've ever been An online menu dressed up as a high-quality restaurant and it's actually a sports bar dive bar with bad quality of food read more

This place will only survive on one trip tourist. We sat down at the bar and were not approached for right at ten minutes. The bartender was complaining to another bartender that she was "dealing with it and remember it was her first day". Super slow service. Food menu is all over the place. We ordered a House Salad with a grilled chicken breast. Salad showed up without the chicken. We ordered a Spicy Tuna Sushi and a Spicy Salmon. Not sure what fish they were made out of but they were the same roll. They had the roll up doors/windows open and the front door wide open. It was so windy that napkins were blowing all over the place not to mention how loud it was. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else. There are way better places on Folly Beach to eat. read more

Great sushi! Fun atmosphere! This was our first time, but we will come again when at Folly again.

We went here for a late dinner and were seated right away. The service was fantastic, our waitress was attentive, caring and very sweet. Our table ordered the seafood boil, the crab bucket and the folly rolls. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Our waitress for the birthday we were celebrating she brought out a slice of the peanut butter pie and they sang. She even helped us take some cute photos at the end of our evening.

Excellent food and super fast service. My wife had the mahi tacos and I had a Caesar salad and added salmon as a protein ($16!) We ate here multiple times throughout our week vacation and every time was a perfect. Our waiter was awesome and kept our drinks full as well. read more

Hostess was extremely friendly. Nice atmosphere with a lot of variety on the menu. Ordered the chips and queso for an appetizer. The seafood boil was nicely seasoned. It came with corn, potatoes and sausage. Shrimp was deveined which was a nice plus. The grilled mahi sandwich was not seasoned enough and had a fishy taste. Would not recommend ordering it. read more

Wonderful sushi. Staff are helpful and attentive. Rooftop dining great with view of sea and sunset.

The food here was so good! Especially the sushi roll (Charleston roll) the burger was also amazing whatever sauce they put on it is really good. The shrimp tacos were kind of underwhelming but not bad. (Sadly coming back to say it depends who's cooking and who your waiter is I was in love with this place last week so much so that we came back the very next week... very disappointed this time) read more

Let me start by saying service was fine. I don't know who's leaving these reviews but the fact it's Charleston I guess they don't get many outside the state visitors. We came here believing that we would have fish for the 3 days we would be staying here. So far all our fish dinners have been horrible. Lived in NY 50 years and have been here in SC for 12 years. Stayed in downtown Charleston couple of years ago food was amazing. Stayed away from Foley Beach if you're looking for good fish. My wife ordered the Mahi with rice and broccoli. I got the burger with fries. Burger was excellent. Only issue was ketchup. Didn't have Heinz. Something called Roma. Not a fan. Back to the fish. Mahi was dry. Broccoli and rice no seasoning or flavor of any kind. Our server said Mahi had Cajun seasoning and my wife told her to let chef know she would like it not too heavy on Cajun. Horrible. We also ordered calamari. It was nothing but thin slices of calamari with a ton of rancid breading. Horrible. By looking at the pictures we saw and the highly written reviews we decided to eat there for my wife's birthday. Giant mistake. Ambiance very casual which was fine. Very beach friendly. read more

I met three girlfriends there and none of us had been before two were from Boston. Two of us were local. I gave it a three because of the food. I ordered the grilled chicken burger and the french fries were cool and soft. The bottom was completely soaked. Below average the two girls from Boston got sushi and they loved it. My other friend who is local ordered the salmon which was cooked perfectly but both the rice and the broccoli were cold. I will say that our server was awesome. She had an unusual line like LEDDY. She checked on us just at the right time and was very attentive and sweet. The vibe was pretty good. I was disappointed that they did not offer any levity drinks like everyone else on the beach. I probably won't go back, but I am glad that I went just to check it out. read more

We had an amazing lunch from start to finish! We were seated in a very nice area, bathrooms were clean, and the menu looked awesome (and tasted it too).

We will definitely be returning! read more

Would not recommend. I've worked in this industry for years and the service was horrible. Waitress never once refilled our waters, had to go get our drinks directly from the bar ourselves because our waitress couldn't be bothered. She then proceeded to tell us the restaurant did not carry bbq sauce (which we kindly pointed out to her on the menu). Additionally, we ordered shrimp which was covered in a spicy sauce (this was not specified on the menu at all). When we brought it up to our waitress, she brought out her manager who told us that they would remake our shrimp and removed it from our bill. However it was not removed from our bill! Obviously we were fully willing to pay full price, however we did not appreciate the manager lying to us. The food was fine but I do not recommend giving them your service. read more
