First time there, had the softshell sandwich. Softshell was large and done just right. Delicious. Our server was Anderson and he was amazing. Went through specials, fantastic personality. read more

As usual, the atmosphere and service were top notch. Crab cakes used to be exceptional, now they are average at best. Much too much filler and crabmeat was not lump as I would expect. We were also very disappointed in the fish board options that were the same all week. In an area surrounded by fresh seafood a choice of rainbow trout, salmon and scallops was disappointing. Something has changed in the last year at this restaurant that was not for the better. read more

Came for my birthday dinner celebration with my parents and my daughter. Love the ambiance here, and we were seated upstairs by the corner windows. It's just beautiful to look out on the evening sky over the bay. So getting into it I ordered the froze at the recommendation of our server (i forget what I was between). It was good but I won't get again, I'm not big into the sweet frozen stuff so I should have known better, but I was trying something different. As a table we started with warm cornbread. Myself and my daughter got the shrimp and grits, can't ever go wrong! My father got the big fat crab cakes (his go to staple), and my mom went with simple fried shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and my daughter couldn't wait for dessert. Although I was too stuffed we got the triple chocolate brownie sundae at my daughter's request to celebrate my bday. I couldn't snap a photo before she dug in!! Service was wonderful, manager even came over to be sure everything was well. He even snapped a family photo for us on our way out. Will return for sure!! read more

We loved Catch 54 so much last year that we could not wait to come back for Happy Hour and Buck-a-Shuck Oysters & Clams again this year. I've been telling my wife for the past year how much she'd love it and it definitely didn't disappoint! My parents arrived in town earlier than we did and stopped here for happy hour without us, but we all made it back later in the week. A must try if you love oysters & clams -- just make sure you arrive a little before they open (4pm) because the bar fills up quickly!). We started with the star of the show, the raw bar of course! Between the 4 of us we had multiple orders of clams and oysters. We love oysters and a good buck-a-shuck is so difficult to find near us in Jersey, so we had to take advantage of this one. The oysters and clams always taste fresh--we've never had a bad one here. The calamari is tender and lightly breaded. The burger is a phenomenal deal served with their house-cut boardwalk fries that are to die for if you're a French fry aficionado! The food, both quality and prices, makes Catch 54 really stand out compared to so many other bars and restaurants of similar stature. My aunt loves crab cakes and said Catch 54's crab cake was phenomenal. Better than many other crab cakes she's had locally. Our drink orders included draft beer, the Sunset Spritz, and the Pineapple Martini (which was delicious and on happy hour!). The bartenders were great! Friendly, personable, attentive, made great drinks, and even remembered us from last year. That's unbelievable considering the number of customers they serve every night. Aside from the incredible, food-forward Happy Hour & daily Buck-a-Shuck (including weekends), another thing that sets Catch 54 apart from many other local restaurants we frequent in the area is the updated, modern decor and upscale, yet still casual, aesthetic that hits you as soon as you walk in. I've yet to experience anything but happy hour, but it feels like a place I'd take my wife for a dinner date. My only disappointment comes from myself -- I was only able to stop n once during our annual vacation but we made the most of it. Next year I'm going to make it a point to stop in more frequently. read more

Max was a server and he was wonderful from start to finish. We asked a lot of questions and probably drove him a bit crazy but he was patient, upbeat and attentive. We never went without water, drinks and he checked on us often. He was funny too! The food is ALWAYS amazing at Catch 54, never a bad meal and the view is my favorite on the Eastern Shore! We started with the fish bite special. Excellent and nice variety. My spouse got the crab cakes with fried and slaw-so good! I got the crunch salad with the green goddess dressing-- the dressing was delicious! Our friends got the scallops and the beet salad with cheese and fruit. They loved their meals too. For dessert we all shared the brownie with ice cream that was too good to describe. We met Jules the manager and told her the meal was great and Max was the bomb! Can't wait to return! read more

Catch 54 was the perfect dinner option for our group outing. Our server Moe was fabulous, spoke particularly clearly for everyone at our table, provided great service and checked on us regularly.

Great food with a view! We had wonderful dinners and the one with serious gluten issues was treated very well. There was a dedicated allergen menu and we were told many dishes could be prepared specially without gluten ingredients.

We had a nice experience at Catch 54. No reservations, so we arrived early in the evening. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated. The ambiance is clean and stylish. Good choice of music playing too! Our service was excellent. As far as the food, everything was excellent. My wife and I started with the Pan Roasted clams and a nice little summer salad, with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and watermelon. We decided to both go with the Swordfish, On their "Fish Board" menu. The flavor was on point, with a southwest flair. I was impressed with the freshness and tenderness of the swordfish. Other than the Mocktail that my wife ordered which she felt lacked the flavor that was the described, everything was excellent. read more

We love catch 54. The happy hour at the bar at the best! You don't have to drink. They have great happy hour snacks and the atmosphere in the bar overlooking the water is the best!!! The deviled eggs and the wings are both fantastic. Inside the restaurant is also nice. It's nice on a Sunday afternoon, not too crowded, family friendly, good food. Not cheap but nice atmosphere and dependable. Two thumbs up. I like the veggie salad with shrimp and my honey likes the smash burger. read more

Wow, thats what I've got for you folks wow. Lets start with ambiance, its cute here i loved it. Its a small, quaint little downstairs with more space upstairs. The decor is spot on, just so nice all around! Let's go on to the service. I'm going to shout out Caleb he was great all around very attentive. Answered all my annoying questions haha. Really fantastic. The wait times for food were just right, didn't take too long but didn't rush you. So now for me to talk way too much. OH MY GOD THE FOOD! This is easily the best food I've had in southern delaware. Hands down, full stop. I got a blackened catfish over a red beet salad. The fish was fresh! Yes fresh in February I'm impressed. The blackened seasoning was so good, just spicy enough to make me smile but not too spicy to be unpleasant. Flaky and perfectly cooked I was not disappointed in any way or another. How about the salad? Well, it was a kale salad which I'm not normally a fan of. But the elements of the salad were perfect, the toasted walnuts, the beets, apples, just everything about married in flawless harmony. Even my mother-in-law agreed the kale salad was great. 10/10, 5/5, whatever you want to call it this was an out of the park experience! Drinks, a new addition to my review this week haha. The bar tenders do a "great pour" per my wife and father-in-law. Me, I stick with non-alcoholic and oh man they nailed that too. This is just all good, like whole thing is great. Thank you for an awesome lunch, keep rolling folks! read more

My parents and my partner and my favorite new local spot to go to really sad about my SIL and our experience as she now is afraid to come back to Papa grande or a sideline restaurant because it was a rough day for her waiting in the parking lot an hour.

This place (and this whole chain) have become a total joke. Service is terrible. They advertise HH and then make tables unavailable. Prices have gotten outrageous. Tried this out after dealing with the disaster that bluecoast has become. Called in advance to figure out if there would be seating for HH and was told wait would be 20-30 minutes max. We decide to make the 20 minute drive and when we got there, they told us it would be an hour if we wanted HH, but they could seat us immediately for regular tables. Deliberate deception. What a joke this chain has become. They used to have great service and great food. Now their service sucks and I'm never coming back. Have been a customer for 15 years and I'm done. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, we enjoyed the happy hour where we arrive 15 minutes before they open at 4 o'clock, the food is terrific, and the chefs really hustle to get the food out fast. So pleasant and I always look forward to returning. read more

From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a smile and a hello. The service, atmosphere and the food you can't beat!

Food - 9/10 - food is always good here. Got oysters, salmon, and little baby beignets for dessert. Everything was good. Service - 9/10 - our waiter was kind, quick, attentive, and helped us with everything. Ambiance - 10/10 - restaurant is right on the water. Outside tables are amazing, inside ones have a cool vibe to them as well. read more

Have not been to Catch 54 for several years and it was nice to see all the renovations. Atmosphere was nice, food and cocktails were good, staff was excellent, everyone we spoke to was polite, friendly and helpful. Our server Max was outstanding. Max was professional, friendly and good to talk to. We are already looking forward to going back to Catch 54. John G Frankford Delaware read more

As you can see from my many prior reviews this is one of my top 3 restaurants for happy hour and dinner. I will summarize my two most recent family dinners here during the Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends: Marlene took our 5:30 PM dinner reservation over the phone. I was here with my family of nine including two children for Friday night dinner after Thanksgiving day upstairs at a corner table. I started with my spicy margarita for $14. We also shared a bottle of Duckhorn Decoy Brut champagne for $52, which was reduced down to $26 by 50% off due to Friday 50% off on all wine bottles. The Decoy brut champagne was excellent. We also shared and enjoyed the crab dip for $21. We also shared and enjoyed three dozen raw oysters samplers for a total of $81. I also enjoyed my crispy duck confit special with pappardelle, basil pesto, fried onion and garlic chilli vinaigrette for $32. My total bill was $455 excluding gratuity. Morelia C. (nicknamed Mo) served us very well as usual despite us having two children. We first met Mo, when she bartended at the downstairs bar, when we were here prior for many Sunday afternoon happy hours. We returned here again with my larger family of 14 including five children for dinner on the Saturday after Christmas. We had a 5:30 PM dinner reservation. We were again seated immediately upstairs. I started with and enjoyed my two Makers Mark Manhattans up for $15 each. We also shared and enjoyed two dozen raw oysters samplers for $27 per dozen. We also ordered and enjoyed one dozen of the more expensive Raspberry Points for $48. Raspberry Point Oysters are premium, cold-water farmed oysters from Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada, prized for their firm meat, distinct briny flavor with a sweet finish, and deep cups, taking 5-7 years to mature in New London Bay's tidal waters. They're known for being easy to shuck and popular in gourmet settings due to their consistent quality and appealing salty-sweet profile. We also shared the calamari for $17 and the devilled eggs for $19. I also enjoyed my confit lamb shank for $38. Caleb M. served us very well despite us having five children. My total bill was $737 excluding gratuity. Caleb applied our Indian River High School band 10% discount to our bill, which reduced the total from $737 down to $663 excluding gratuity. On Sunday's our favorite bartender is Nick C. Nick said hello, when we visited during the Thanksgiving holiday. We will continue to return here with family and friends for happy hour, lunch or dinner. read more

My wife and I had dinner here with some family members while visiting them. The restaurant sits by the water and offers beautiful views of the bay. There is a lower and upper level of dining ateas. The food here is very good. I had the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes. It was delicious and not too spicy. My wife had the broiled salmon with boiled potatoes, also very good. There is a clam and oyster bar offering locally caught oysters and clams. The service is friendly and attentive. The dining areas are very clean but a little on the tight side. Prices are on the higher end but it's to be expected because the area is touristy, especially during the summer months. Parking can be difficult to find due to the very small parking lot. Thankfully there are nearby parking lots as alternatives. Reservation are highly recommended. I definitely recommend this restaurant especially for group gatherings. read more

Update on update. My folks were celebrating 63 years of marriage! My fiancé and I brought them to Catch 54 and it was more than we hoped for. You can see from the reviews that I'm a fan, but the service tonight was truly special. My mom is not well and most likely won't have another wedding anniversary, so this one mattered. Bubbles and dessert and just spectacular service made everything just special. I can't thank you enough. Food wise...Clam and Garlic Spaghetti was amazing! I haven't had spaghetti in 10 years and loved it! Shrimp and Grits..smooth creamy, deep rich flavor and perfect cook on shrimp. Blackened Catfish on fish board was a hit and the peel and eat shrimp were really well done. See you soon! This is what Sodel concepts is all about read more

We're back for our third Happy Hour visit with our extended family, Mom, dad, sis and the 4 boys. The food is amazing here! Dollar oysters are the big draw for us, but quickly matched by the roasted mussels! But the other apps and happy hour specials - wings, calamari, burgers, are All excellent too. They have draft beet specials and delicious. Now the service - every server we've has been excellent but our past 2 visits we've been served by Peyton who is AMAZING! Covered the menus thoroughly, lots of great recommendations and dealt with our chaotic crew and big crazy orders. I owe her a 5-stars review from last time too - sorry I dropped the Ball Peyton. Highest recommendation- we will be back soon! Beautiful design and views too! read more

We had a great experience at Catch 54. We came on a recommendation of a co-worker and were happy we did. Catch 54 offered amazing happy hour specials including some of the best calamari we've ever eaten. The restaurant itself is very pretty and had a nice water view. All of the staff that we interacted with were friendly and professional. This place has their service down pat. We got burgers, calamari, shrimp, wings, and fries and were extremely pleased with everything. The food came out hot and cooked perfectly. We will be back next year when vacationing in Fenwick. read more

Wowee, this was delicious. Arrived after the boat parade in December. Was seated fairly quickly at a table overlooking the water. It was dark but there are enough lights around to see a little bit. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller and they were phenomenal. For our mains. We got the chowder and the rainbow trout special. Both were incredibly delicious down to the last bite. For desert, we had the apple crisp which was just ok but still good. Can't wait to come back! There is a tiny parking lot out front (maybe 10 cars), street parking, or a bigger lot a little bit down the road. read more

Crab dip had soft carrots no bueno. Wings were ok. $64 crab cakes were meh, Whole Foods better. Shrimp and grits and crab pasta were ok, but salty. Crab soup was cold. Returned to heat. Blackened tuna was ok. Oysters and server were excellent. Not up to blue coast par unfortunately. read more

Becoming another favorite we had a party of four and reservations for 4:30 we arrived a little early and were seated immediately! Another great dinner for us. My BIL had the Salmon which came with a chutney. My SIL decided on the Southern Fried Chicken very tender lightly breaded and crispy With whipped potatoes and a bacon corn gravy in the side and farm beans. My better half had Buttermilk Fried Shrimp Salt Fries , Coleslaw, Cocktail Sauce of course she ordered a side of melted butter! I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp and Parmasean Grits Andouille Sausage , Trinity , Tomato- Beer Jus & Rosemary Butter! Another great meal for all of us!

We went to Catch 54 last Thursday and as usual it was great! A couple people had the Smash Burgers, I had the mussels and scallops and someone had the fish special. Everything was cooked perfectly! The server (Nick) was an amazing waiter. We live local and try to go once a month but anyone out of the area should definitely try it! Sunsets are also amazing! read more

Perfect beach front spot. We got a table on the patio, enjoyed a glass of crisp cold Rose wine while waiting on food. I ordered the crab cake sandwich because welllll when in Maryland, thats you should do. It was FAT and delish. Upgraded to fries and were ok but a sad little pile. The massive crab patty made up for it though so 5 stars for the crab. read more

We loved the lively atmosphere & the food was amazing! Caleb was our server and he provided exceptional service recommending all of the dishes. The crab cakes tasted like they came straight from the sea. The fresh fish was exceptional. We went with the tuna, crusted halibut, and salmon. All were delicious! We ended the meal with the key lime tart and the blueberry bread pudding with a scoop of peanut butter ice cream. Both were delicious! This will go on our list of MUST GO-TO places when we come to the beach! read more

Wonderful. Our waiter, Max, was excellent. Friendly, attentive, relaxed, perfect. The food was outstanding. Pan roasted muscles in cream sauce are amazing, and the oysters Rockefeller are to die for. My wife just had grilled salmon, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Someone has to tell us how a chef could make something plain so unbelievably delicious. And she is very picky about how her food is prepared. This is my birthday meal every year and it is ALWAYS the is good. read more

First of all, the ambience is amazing. Very inviting and beachy. However, that's where the charm ends. We got the shrimp and grits (bizarrely sweet and the shrimp were overcooked), the smashburger (fries were not seasoned and on the cold side) and the "special" shrimp salad. The special was billed as a fresh, local cucumber, tomato, onion and mozzarella salad with grilled shrimp with a vinaigrette. The tomatoes were cut in large pieces, as was the cucumber, requiring more cutting. The shrimp weren't seasoned and were way overcooked. And for $28, I expected a LOT more. Our server Will was lovely so we tipped him accordingly. But for $200+ for 3 people (2 minors) I expected a lot more. read more

Food: this is what a restaurant is all about right next to service. Food is worth the price. The food is not bad, however; you can go to other places that have a better menu and cheaper. Service is is not friendly or accommodating. Ambiance is ok because of the bay view. That's about it they want to present a higher end vibe without good service and great food. Save yourself the trip. read more

the last person I would want to be the face of my business is the hostess at catch 54. Just such a nasty attitude. Like I have walked into her kitchen as she was eating breakfast. Never been pleasant or offered a smile. Fortunately for the restaurant the rest of the staff is friendly and the food is good. For her I would suggest a job where she doesn't have to deal with the public. read more

What a gem! Love this restaurant in Fenwick. Great happy hour from 4-6. Cute bar surrounded by a few high top table. I tried the buck a shuck oysters. They were delicious!
