I love a good crab boil!! I have been craving them lately and after having this and then Dummy…read moreCrabby back to back, I can say with certainty that MMC has better quality crab legs and better flavored sauce. I got the 1/2 lb clams and 1/2 lb snow crab with medium spice MMC seasoning. The clams were not overcooked and the snow crab had plenty of meat in them and were easy to crack. Their hush puppies are my favorite! So crispy and slightly sweet. Our server Alex was awesome. Very attentive and made a great strawberry margarita. The ambiance was nice because we were the first customers to arrive when they opened. It was nice and quiet and we got top notch service.

My group and I were craving a seafood boil, so we decided to stop by here. We ordered shrimp,…read morecrawfish, and mussels, and everything tasted amazing. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and generously sized. Their Mr. and Mrs. Crab special sauce was absolutely incredible, genuinely one of the best seafood boil sauces I've ever tried. I was honestly surprised to see reviews saying the food was bland or lacked seasoning because, as you can probably see from the photos, our platters had plenty of seasoning. The restaurant itself was very clean, nicely decorated with a fun boat theme, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Our waitress was very kind, and the food came out quickly. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a solid seafood boil spot!

We've had the best luck sitting at the high-top tables by the bar, especially when David is our server. The lobster bisque is the star of the show and is definitely worth trying. I usually go for the lobster rolls. They aren't the absolute best I've ever had, but they're pretty close--and with limited options in the area, they're a solid choice. The Atlantic Haddock Dinner is also very good. One thing I would recommend staying away from is the vegetables. They don't taste fresh and seem to be canned, which is disappointing. They also have a few weekly and weekend specials that are worth checking out. Overall, I do recommend The Great Catch, especially if you're looking for a change from the usual chain restaurants. Just choose your seating and, if you can, ask for David!

We were highly recommended this place since everyone knows we love the great catch in Zeph…read more The service here is super friendly, the drink specials are a great option however we went two weeks ago and the onion rings were frozen but their menu said fresh?! I was confused. I took this place off our list. We attempted to go back again yesterday because my uncle wanted a lobster roll and wanted to spend time with the family. He ordered the lobster roll that was $50 then he was charged extra for side dishes that the menu already said came with them. I questioned the server and they said they asked whoever was in charge and they told her he said it was known as premium sides. These are basic sides and their menu no where listed premium sides as an option. I understand a soup maybe more but he ordered sweet potato fries and a potato, the soup was a third choice for this roll. $54 for a foot long lobster roll is insane and then to be charged for 6-8 fries and a small potato as premium sides. Please stop changing the menu. My husband wanted to ask for a manager to complain but we just left. We will go back to Zeph where nothing has changed. The service and the drink specials are why we came back here for the second time.

Went to lunch with my boss and he chose this restaurant because it was close to USF. The…read morerestaurant itself is fairly simple, with about 10 tables, a counter to order and pay at, a fountain soda machine (they are Pepsi people) and bathrooms to the right as you walk in. We got there at 12:30 and it was empty, but quite a few people came in for pick-up orders. The place was clean and while I didn't use the restrooms, my boss did and everything was in order. They have the entire menu above the counter, but also provide a paper m The menu is just what the name suggests: seafood and chicken, although they do have a burger and a Philly steak sandwich on the menu. I ordered the #10 Oysters & Shrimp. The man taking our orders asked if I wanted them fried regular or crispy. First time anyone has asked me that. I ordered crispy, with fries and hushpuppies. They serve everything in styrofoam to-go containers and while the place is not fancy, the food was great! My oysters were yummy and the shrimp were well seasoned. Fries were good and the hushpuppies were very good. I only ate half of my meal and took the rest home for dinner. My boss ordered the #6 fish (tilapia) and he really enjoyed it. So I ordered takeout for hubby and dad (no cooking!). They had a few lunch specials and hubby got the basa fried fish and fries combo, while I ordered a #7 fish & shrimp for dad. I thought the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food that was served. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other combos.

I was expecting it to be a decent sized restaurant. I was mistaken. It was very small. It reminded me of an old Chinese food restaurant. The 4 booths that were there to eat in house were either taken or just not cleaned yet. We decided to take our food to go. They had a special for boil combos B & C for $39.99. That is what we decided to get. The food smelled so good from the ride home, to when we opened it. We dumped all of the contents into a huge bowl. It was decent sized portions. The dummy crab seasoning was garlicky and delicious!! There was so much seafood. We couldn't finish it all that night. We did have the rest for dinner the next night. It was still so tasty!! The best part about it was that neither of us got sick the next day. We were worried. Previously we both got sick on a seafood boil from a different restaurant. This was also in a different state. Needless to say, we will be getting seafood from dummy Crabby again!!

I placed a takeout order for five different entrees at 4:05 and was told it would be ready in 20-30 minutes. I made a few stops and arrived about 45 minutes later, only to be told the food had not been prepared and would take another 20 minutes. When we were finally called up to pay, the order was completely incorrect. While trying to explain the discrepancies and get everything corrected, we were repeatedly interrupted, which made communication difficult. Thankfully, I had brought the paper where I had written down the entire order in detail. Another woman then told me something I ordered was unavailable, which did not match what I had been told when placing the order. Eventually, a third woman stepped in whose voice I recognized as the person who originally took my order. She immediately understood the issue, assured us it would be corrected, and followed through. I appreciated her stepping in and straightening everything out. Unfortunately, we didn't leave until four minutes before 6 nearly two hours after placing a takeout order that was said to be ready in 20-30 minutes. I was visiting my brother, who lives two hours away, so I tried to make light of the situation. Ordering well in advance may help with the wait, but then you risk the food being cold which is exactly what happened to us. After all that time, we still had to go home and reheat our food. I'm sharing this not to bad mouth the establishment, but to bring awareness to areas that could use improvement. Better communication, attention to order details, and more accurate preparation times would have made this a much better experience. With that said, the food was good, the atmosphere was nice, and the music was vibe. I wouldn't rush back anytime soon, but I would be open to giving them another try in the future.
