    Frozen mango margarita
    Mr. W.

    Ordered pimento cheese with house soft chips appetizer..big portion and filling. Ordered frozen mango margarita...slightly above average yet presentation looked pleasing to the eye. Also ordered flounder sandwich with fries. Fries were a bit oily and mushy ..i liked the fries i put malt vinegar on the flounder. But it is also decent without malt vinegar. Tartar sauce was average. Horseradish bit my sinuses but i ate it straight. Good horseradish sauce. Decent service

    Shrimp wrap
    Nikki A.

    This a great environment! Love the atmosphere and the service was great. The food is not bad. Got the shrimp wrap, the sauce gives it a nice kick but it's just the sauce, shredded lettuce and fried shrimp but still ok. The fries were soggy for my liking but they were ok as well. You just can't beat good service and atmosphere anymore! We will definitely be back.

    Good choices of food on the menu. If you would like less bar noise, request an outdoor seat. The waitress was very attentive.

    PSA/spoiler: long-winded but wholesome ending My boyfriend…read moreand I have eaten here a handful of times previously, and we went in for brunch again yesterday. (side note: for context, we both have years of experience working in the food service industry & are very patient/understanding, sometimes at our own detriment, bc we know how unpredictable working in restaurants can be.) The restaurant was moderately busy, but there were a few open tables. Two ladies were already waiting to be seated at the hostess stand, and although the hostess was physically present, she didn't greet us when we walked in, nor was she talking to the 2 women waiting in front of us. I'm not sure if she was in her own world or having an off day but she didn't acknowledge us at all and avoided speaking to/making eye contact with all of us at the front door for 5-10 minutes. I wasn't sure if she'd already spoken to the ladies beforehand, and maybe that's why she didn't feel the need to say anything to my bf and i but it was insanely awkward, to say the least. However, after she wiped a table down and we were seated, not a big deal by any means. Our waitress got our drinks, took our order, and brought our food out very quickly. Both my bf and I ordered the crab benedict biscuit - his came out perfectly and was delicious! The only issue with mine was that the egg yolk looked like it'd come from a boiled egg and had the consistency of a piece of sidewalk chalk. As someone who usually orders eggs sunny side up or over-easy, my bf and I both knew I was either going to waste the entire meal or have to ask for a new egg (and I hate asking for things bc I feel like it's an inconvenience). We eventually settled on asking for a new egg bc I hadn't eaten anything all day and was pretty hungry. I started looking around the restaurant to see if I could see our waitress. I saw her but she didn't see me and I didn't want to bug her. It was actually the owner/GM Danielle who saw me scanning the restaurant and came over almost immediately asking if I needed something. I explained the minor problem and apologized for being a pain and when I say she couldn't have been more kind, helpful, and absolutely hilarious, I mean it from the bottom of my heart! Danielle ended up getting me a crab benedict biscuit to-go (we had plans & were on a time crunch), talked to the kitchen to see what happened since both mine and my bf's were made together, chatted with us for a bit, and comped our bill. I continued to apologize, thank her for her help, and told her it really wasn't necessary to comp anything bc it wasn't a big deal at all and she'd resolved the issue but she insisted. Needless to say, we will 1000% be going back thanks to Danielle! Loved getting to talk with and meet a genuinely kind-hearted person/new(er) small business owner in Chapin. You rock Danielle For anyone who made it to the end of this dissertation and has the pleasure of meeting/seeing Danielle at Bakon, do yourself a favor and ask her to do an impression of a piece of floppy bacon. You won't regret it

    We we recently had a delightful seafood dinner at Catch 22. After arriving without reservations,…read morewe were greeted warmly and shown to a comfortable booth. It was a Friday evening and the restaurant was quite full. Three of us ordered a fancy margarita--I believe it was coconut flavored. I ordered a glass of Riesling. It was surprisingly on the dry side, which I didn't mind at all. My wife didn't care for her margarita, and thus just confirmed once again that she does care for tequila-based drinks. For our entrées, D, his wife and I had seafood platters; his was deep fried, and mine was broiled. He got two seafood selections and I got three--oysters, shrimp and scallops. She went with a fried oyster platter. My broiled seafood was simply seasoned with Old Bay, but it worked for me. The oysters were sweet and lightly broiled. The shrimp was flavorful, as well as the scallops. While I didn't taste any deep fried seafood, the batter looked crunchy and lightly breaded. My wife had the she-crab soup, with a side of sherry, and she loved it. It was creamy, and was served with a dollop of crab on top. She also had a spinach salad with almonds and strawberries-- topped with baked salmon. The sides for our platters included sweet and white potato fries, and cole slaw. I was impressed with the price of my platter, how it was prepared, and the flavor. We opted for a unique desert--a gelato bomb. It consists of a ball of ice cream wrapped in chocolate cake. Very good. Our server was very pleasant and accommodating . I think her name was Chelsea. She is a fine server. Hats off to Catch 22. Keep up the good work.

    We LOVE this Resturant. It is our go to date lunch place. The prices are very fair and reasonable.read more

We used…read morethe boat to drive across the lake from their house to get to Catfish Johnny's and it was a nice experience. They have pretty good prices and platters even for kids - they weren't skimp on the food for them. Its definitely a nice relaxing environment for the warmer months. Just kick back grab a drink and relax to the live music playing or just watching all the different types of boats coming to dock and eat. I hope to come back once this pandemic dies down.

Everyone love CAtfish Johnnys. The staff seemed afraid to be too nice and the manager literally told someone near me he cancelled all bands or did not book any rock bands or have any bands on Fridays because it brought in 'that crowd'. He wants to focus on Families and cut down on alcohol and certain appetizers that attract them. . There is that. Sooooo... Oh service was slow, we ordered three or 4 of the same exact item and all three came completely different. Shrimp was fried on one, Shrimp was cooked another way on the 2nd and Anyway the plates looked like completely different orders. The drinks were made the same- all different even when ordering the same drink. We did not complain as it clearly was not the servers fault. We will remember the manager pretty much insulted all previous patrons which includes a lot of people with boats and money and laughs. Although he wanted to focus on Families, I saw no more or any security or extra security around the water so do not expect extra safety for your children and there may have been but I didn't notice an expanded children's menu. I think the prices may have been higher too. Enjoy the new Knotted Marina and bring your own music you may not see any of your favorite oldskool bands. I normally get a Togo meal to bring home. I did not this trip. The manager may not have known he was talking to one of the bands that previously played there. I really used to love this place. We shall see
