Loved everything about this place! The location is awesome. Great place to walk around. Staff is friendly! It feels very local. My waiter knew the Oyster farms on the menu. The seafood stew is the best I've had and seafood stew is a favorite! I've tried it at many restaurants. Glad I went! I enjoyed the entire experience and every bite of my meal! read more

I was honestly skeptical when we pulled up because it's such a small little bar, and I wasn't expecting the food to be anything special. I was completely wrong. We started with some oysters, which were the freshest oysters I've ever had. The oyster menu had a good variety of sizes and salinities. The Manhattan clam chowder was SO GOOD. I normally don't approve of soup in the summer but this is a must try no matter what season it is. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share so we could try a little bit of everything. Sicilian calamari was cooked to perfection and perfectly tender. Loved that it was sautéed because it's a little lighter than fried, but I definitely want to try the fried calamari next time we come here. Seared ahi tuna was also some of the best I've ever had. I don't even like swordfish but the blackened swordfish special completely changed my mind. They have different specials every day and I don't think you can really go wrong with anything on the menu. The atmosphere is very laid back, and everyone was so friendly. It's family owned and operated, and you can tell they really care. There were lots of regulars, which says a lot. The prices are surprisingly reasonable for food this good. We'll definitely be coming back. Hands down the best oyster bar in Long Island. read more

10/10, no complaints. Tiny spot with great food and cocktails. The service is fabulous, and since there are limited tables, staff has the availability to give you time, attention and stellar recs. We ate at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and helpful. Extra points for Summer in a Bottle on tap - it comes out ice cold and delish. They have a variety of oysters (both local and not) and other seafood yummies. Among a few other items we had a lobster pasta, and fish stew that really stood out. The fish stew was similar to a cioppino, with an amazing broth and huge pieces of fish in addition to the shellfish. Pro tip, when you finish eating, take the broth home and put it over pasta the next day. Chef's kiss. I wouldn't go with a big group, just because of the teensy cutesy size of this place...but go. You'll love everything. read more

Was in the area for a little hike and wanted seafood for a late lunch. It's a cozy restaurant on the main strip in Patchogue. About 10 people there when we walked in about 2 pm. Mike the bartender, waiter, bus boy - do it all was great. Helped with the beer, oysters and calamari selection. Everything was on point. There are probably lines down the block during the peak season. Must do if you're in town! read more

What a great little restaurant! Others have described it as a hidden gem and I can see why. The coastal decor is very welcoming and comfortable; there are a number of standalone tables and plenty of seats at the bar, which was crowded when we arrived Our waitress, Janine, was a sweetheart - super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations on the oysters from the menu. We opted for Fire Island Blues and Lucky 13. They were both delicious and super, super fresh. I have to say out of all the food we ate, the oysters were our favorite. We also ordered the baked clams, sesame crusted tuna, and fried calamari . We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and I can't wait to get back for more of those fresh oysters and delicious and tasty baked clams. If you haven't checked out this place yet, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

The oysters were outstanding. Not used to Northern oysters but these were excellent. On the expensive side But worth it. Also had a Hook, line and Sinker platter. Flounder was terrific had oysters, clams and some type of stuffed shell not sure if it was clams or crab but was tasty. Nice atmosphere with great food read more

Love this spot. We've been here 4 times and the food is always on point. It's tiny, so you may wait for a table (there's 2 regular sized and 2-3 two seater bar height tables) or you can eat at the bar. The fish tacos here are amazing, the apps are always great too (tuna nachos, Sicilian calamari, etc). It's truly a hidden gem and a go to spot for good fish and a relaxed environment. read more

Finally returned after eight years, and I was not disappointed. While the area around the oyster bar has changed, it was refreshing to see that their selection of Rob bar hasn't faltered. Great selection of east and West Coast oysters, thumb sized shrimp that are perfectly prepared. Ceviche was fresh and delightful. Mikayla at the bar is both friendly and knowledgeable. Great cocktails, and good selection of beers. Inside is cozy, with a hint of "Jaws " read more

We would love to visit more often as the food and service is amazing , however a little pricey to visit often.

Unbelievable meal every time! Service and the people are like family Small place looks busy but moves quickly so I grab a drink at bar and get a table in no time. Food is so fresh, new specials weekly consistently the best food I've ever eaten Must try! read more

SUMMER 2025 HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED - with our first Catch lunch! Clams on the half shell, ice-chilled and served with fresh lemon and spicy sauce... perfection! Followed by a delicious, chonky lobster roll - tender, buttery, and awesome! Paired with a couple of "True Italian" cocktails (a new summer creation by bartender Mike!) Just wanted to add extra props to Mike, who was not only mixing up some of the tastiest cocktails to touch the tip of my tongue, but simultaneously waiting on tables, and performing FLAWLESS service! Extra napkins? Check! Swinging by midway to see how everything was doing? Check! Delicious complex cocktails that involve fresh herbs? CHECK! My better half ordered the grilled salmon, and it was so amazingly gorgeous that I begged a bite - SOOOOO tasty! Seriously, if you are anywhere near Patchogue, you gotta lunch here! If anyone is visiting you from out of town or another country, bring them to Catch to show them what real Long Island living is about! read more

Oyster Catch is a great, cozy place to visit for some deliciously fresh seafood. My friend and I shared oysters, which were chilled perfectly and along with a good cocktail sauce were quite tasty. I had the tuna wrap, which was served rare and had a flavorful, spicy sauce on top of it. They didn't skimp on the tuna and it was thoroughly enjoyed. My friend had the fish tacos and liked them as well. Looking forward to returning. read more

Do not order the lobster roll. It was so chewy. Wrong. Like they pulled it out of a freezer and rolled it in spices and let it sit. Tried to mask the poor flavor/freshness by applying lemon juice to the bun. Please do not order the lobster roll. I have had had much better lobster rolls at gas stations in New England. read more

First time here and I love this place! I sat at the bar with my friend and we ordered a couple of oysters and we had a lobster roll and filthy martinis. The service was OK. I loved the Caribbean music that they played. I would come back the oysters they had a lot of different types of oysters. They had fresh and salty and briney options for the oysters. check them out! read more

Great oysters! Great selection, all perfectly cleaned and chilled. NE clam chowder was excellent. Small place, five tables and maybe 12 spots at the bar. Went for lunch on a Wednesday and it was shockingly packed. Bartender was also serving tables. She was working really hard and was super nice. No cocktails for us today but the drink menu looked tasty! Will definitely be return. read more

Catch has been our favorite local date-night option in what seems like forever. So last night, for the first time, we had no babysitter and took the little ones. Didn't change a thing. The food and vibe at this local seafood bar right off Main Street is outstanding. Same goes for the service, as we have also done take-out from here many times. Last night as our usual to start, two dozen fresh and chill as they come, oysters (skinny magherita was so clean and fresh) We divided up the 24 into four 6-packs from different locales. We usually spend a few minutes discussing what one go better with mignonette or cocktail sauce. Of course, squeeze of lemon never hurts as is protocol. My wife and son both had the blacked salmon, one over a crispy Caesar and one over mixed veggies. Even though it was blackened crispy on the outside, the inside was juicy and done to perfection. For myself, I love a good chicken Francese, so when I saw a special "striped bass francese", I politely put the menu down. Over mashed potatoes and mixed veggies, this was a home run. Excuse me...a grand slam. I could eat that for dinner 7 nights a week and never get tired. We have so much confidence in this joint that we know we can order whatever we want and it's always done perfect. Last outting here we came especially for their soft shell crab sandwich and it was such a treat. I can't recommend this place enough. Can't wait to get back, and it's a gem. read more

Looking for a local joint that defines fresh catch from local(& some a little further) waters? Seafood prepared consistently very well then this is it!!! The cocktails and selection of ale/stouts are impressive too! If you're a fan of raw oysters(or cooked) it'll be difficult to go anywhere else after indulging here! Don't be surprised if you have to wait for a seat. It's not a big place, but certainly worth it! read more

I was quite excited and keen on checking out catch oyster bar as my friend had mentioned what a delicious meal she had had recently with another friend! We showed up on a Friday evening around 6 PM and were kindly greeted and we only waited about five minutes till we got a great table. Michaela (sp?) is a wonderful host and waited on us throughout the evening! She was fantastic and so patient and wonderful with us! Everything we ordered came out perfectly cooked, fresh, hot and delicious just as one would expect! We had crabcakes to start with, shared the blackened 'Red Snapper' fish tacos, and the New England clam chowder was to die for! We also had some yummy fresh as can be oysters and some jumbo shrimp and simply loved everything we ordered! Can't wait to come back here without hesitation! Thanks for a wonderful lovely evening! Cheers :) read more

After a nice sauna session a few doors down, we stopped in here for a light dinner. Did not disappoint! Lots of parking in the back, and this place is among several other places on the corner of Ocean and Main. It was pretty full, but we got seated in a cozy spot up front. Immediately drawn to the octopus salad, but also tried the tuna wrap. A half dozen oysters while wating. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the wrap was nice and packed. This might become a regular after-sauna spot. Water glasses were filled often, and the service was nice and cheerful. read more

I had the opportunity to check out Catch on a Sunday afternoon. The place is on the smaller side, if I wasn't specifically looking for some where to have fresh oysters, I would have likely walked right past it. But for a small joint, it packs a big punch! We ordered a dozen fresh oysters and their fried calamari - both of which were excellent. Since it's on the smaller side, there's limited seating but we were fortunate to grab a seat at a high top right away. The service was quick and our server was friendly. This is a great place to have fresh oysters, a cold beer and watch the game. I can't wait to go back! read more

One of the best food experiences I have had in a while. We sat at the bar and right from the start I knew that I was going to like my experience because of the bartender. Nice, friendly, and accommodating. Oysters are outstanding... many local selections to choose from, but get the "house" oysters called fire island blues. The lobster roll was 9/10 - the lemon aioli gave it a great freshness. I wanted to try the white wine on tap but the co2 was out. They had a good selection of taps and a great cocktail menu. Really good food and cute place. read more

Awesome stuffies! And the sashimi oysters is to die for! Always pleasant service and top notch food.

The food at this establishment is amazing. We had the seafood chowder which was out of this world. We also had the fish tacos, which were delicious with a nice thick piece of fish. This is a casual bar type setting with high tables and stools. Our waitress was amazing and the service was excellent. We plan on coming back sooner rather than later! I prefer to have a back to my chair otherwise I would've given five stars. read more

First time at Catch. It's a cute small luncheonette type restaurant. There was only one server who was very helpful. We had a wonderful lunch of a dozen wonderful oysters perfectly chilled and delicious fish and chips. The fish was fresh, fried and no oily residue. Would go back any time. read more

I'm going to try to write this using the word "awesome" as little as possible, but if you're in the mood for some of the most awesome oysters on the Island, this place would be an awesome choice. Check the menu on the wall to see what's on hand, but the Peconic Bay variety were eye opening to me (Read: awesome). I love oysters and this place is, well...awesome. Parking in Patchogue usually sucks, the place is small, but the food is great here. All major cards. read more

This place rocks! Always a great meal. The octopus is a 10 first time having it can't wait to come back and have it again!

Catch is always bustling with a fun crowd, and here's why. The food is phenomenal. If you're a seafood lover, you have to get in here. It's a small, pub style setup, but that's what adds to the charm. It's got that "Cheers" feel but with great food. My favorite app is the roasted oysters. Although the tuna poke bowl is no joke! For dinner Friday we had the seared tuna special served with risotto and charred asparagus. The lemon butter caper sauce in that dish was DEEElish. We also had the warm lobster roll. Buttery, tender and flavorful. Get yourself over there, get some tasty seafood and hang with the friendly and fun staff of Catch Oyster Bar! read more

Absolutely love this place! From the moment we walked in, we could tell this was something special. Nestled in the heart of downtown Patchogue, this new restaurant brings both incredible food and an unmatched vibe that make it the perfect spot for a night out. Though it's on the smaller side--about half the space dedicated to a large, inviting bar, with the other half for tables--there's a charm to it. You get the feeling that it's intimate and personal, but I'd say it's best for smaller groups, as it might be a tight squeeze for larger parties. Honestly, though, that's one of the only things I'd mention, and it doesn't take away from the experience at all. We kicked things off with some adult beverages, and I was impressed by their excellent selection of local beers--always a plus. To start, my wife and I shared the Tuna Poke appetizer. Let me tell you, this was not just a little bite--this was a generous portion of incredibly fresh tuna, served with crispy homemade chips and a side of creamy guacamole. We were both blown away by how flavorful and fresh it was, an absolutely perfect starter. For my entrée, I couldn't resist the Montauk Lobster Roll, and let me tell you, even as someone who's not usually a lobster person, this thing is out of this world. It came packed with a hearty portion of sweet lobster, and the presentation was stellar--lobster claws perched perfectly atop the sandwich, adding that extra touch of elegance. It was served with a side of slaw and pickle, and I opted for a side salad instead of chips or fries. Every bite was perfection, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. My wife went for the Baked Clams as her entrée, and she was absolutely over the moon. She said they were the best clams she's ever had, and I have to agree after stealing a bite off her plate. They were plump, flavorful, and perfectly baked--she was a happy camper. The only downside (and it's a tiny one) is that they don't currently offer a dessert menu, but honestly, it didn't matter. We walked just a couple of minutes over to Roast for a perfect cup of coffee to wrap up the night, which turned out to be the perfect ending. All in all, this place deserves 5/5 stars without a doubt. From the food to the vibe, everything is top-notch. You won't be disappointed here--it's an absolute must-try, and we're already planning our next visit. read more

Everything was great service, food, Drinks, really enjoyed ourselves will definitely continue to go don't change anything!

Great place for fresh seafood. Been here a few times. Always a solid spot. My only gripe was the beer. Both iPA's were flat. Barrier and five boroughs are great breweries and produce great beer. I was appreciative the bartender/cook assisted and tried to fix. It did help a little . Those are great beers and need to be perfectly poured without being flat. Could be the line or CO2. I'm sure issue will be fixed next time with that said. .. the main attraction oysters were great. Followed up by clams and shrimp. All great read more
