    Feeding turtles
    Denisia S.

    What a great place! We tried it for the first time yesterday evening. I have really nothing negative to say about this place. We sat outside on their balcony/porch area. Great views! The service was excellent, our server Lee was very personable and attentive to details. The food was great! My husband's steak was cooked perfectly. The portions were a little too big for us. The bathrooms were very clean and neat. It's a great place for a romantic evening out or dinner with the kids - which was our case. Our kids enjoyed the open grass area by the water as well as feeding the turtles leftover French fries. We'll definitely come back!

    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

It may be small, but it's packed with incredible customer service, warm ambiance, and delicious, mouthwatering food. I was especially impressed with the lobster rolls, the best I've had since Charleston. The lobster was fresh, sweet, and perfectly prepared. And let's talk about the bar! The drinks are perfectly poured and the bartenders are amazing, attentive, welcoming, and they make you feel right at home. Come hungry and be prepared to fall in love with a menu full of savory, scrumptious options. Between you and me, I might just have to try the whole thing.

We were warmly greeted by the hostess, seated at a comfortable table and our server was fantastic!!! We enjoyed the crab dip as an appetizer. It is served with pita bread and was absolutely delicious!!! I highly recommend it. Five My husband had the surf and turd which was served with loaded mashed potatoes and broccolini. The steak was cooked exactly how he ordered it and was a large serving! Five I had the crab cake (which is technically an appetizer) and it was served with corn chowder. It was the perfect portion size for me after having an appetizer. Five I would eat this an appetizer or meal! I also opted for a side of mashed potatoes. Plenty of draft beer and a great cocktail/wine menu. We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning! What a gem!

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

This was my first time experiencing this venue, and I honestly was pleasantly surprised. From being greeted at the door and shown to our table, ordering our food to even having our waitresses snap a few photo's to document our visit, I was very impressed with the staff's attentiveness and willing to offer suggestions, and see our food was prepared promptly, and to our tastes. We chose to visit during lunch, so I ordered the Philly Cheese steak sandwich which came with fries, and it was very tasty. My friend ordered the fish & chips, which he said was also very delicious, his wife ordered shrimp with hushpuppy's, and I tried one, that cinnamon butter sauce pairs very with with the hush puppy's. The atmosphere for a lunch crowd was very chill, some soft music playing in the background, but not overpowering to limit conversation, the staff was friendly, and the food was tasty, with decent portions, and more importantly - Reasonably Priced. I can't wait to return again soon, and bring some friends along to share a new spot to enjoy some terrific food at Liberty On The Lake.

It felt like a great place for a celebration without being overly formal. We started with a few appetizers that were great for sharing. The hushpuppies came out hot and crispy and paired really well with the dipping sauces. The coconut shrimp was another highlight -- perfectly fried with a nice crunchy coating and a sweet dipping sauce that added a lot of flavor. For the main meal, the fish and fries were classic comfort food done well. The fish was golden and flaky with a light batter that wasn't too heavy, and the fries were crispy and seasoned just right. Everything came out fresh and hot, which made the meal even better. The coleslaw on the side was creamy and balanced the fried seafood nicely. Drinks were also a fun part of the celebration. The cocktail was refreshing and light, perfect for sipping while enjoying the lake view. Sitting by the water with a drink in hand really added to the birthday vibe and made the whole experience feel a little more special. Overall, Liberty on the Lake was a great choice for a birthday outing. Good food, generous portions, beautiful lake views, and a relaxed environment that made it easy to celebrate and enjoy time together. Definitely a nice spot for a casual celebration or a meal with family by the water.

The prices are reasonable compared to SoFlo. My favorite thing is their hush puppies. Perfectly fried and soft on the inside. We usually go for dinner. This time we were there for lunch. We ordered the special Mahi with a side of fries. My husband Mahi was served blackened, delicious fresh and perfectly cooked. I ordered the grouper bites with two sides, sautéd veggies and hush puppies. The grouper was fresh, plentiful. I usually order the fried green tomatoes and the hush puppies as a starter. We have also had the pasta and the crab cakes, equally delicious. Menu also offers burgers, sandwiches, wings and vegetarian options. There's outdoor seating. And parking in the back. Highly recommend.

    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.

Not sure about the music selection, as we dove right into scanning the menu and enjoying the options. We had the Japanese fried chicken (3.5/6) and the Prosciutto Wrapped Fontina (6/6) would definitely order again as it was delicious. We selected the butchers board (6/6) with asparagus & bacon mac and cheese for our sides - medium rare of course. The spread was delicious. We had a mule and a blueberry spritz to accompany the meal. As the sun set, the locations lights seemed to dim as well, ramping up the intimate feel. Server checked in multiple times (her name is Victoria Batte).

We started with the deviled eggs which seemed like they didn't even try to add flavor. Only one person in the group ordered steak which was not cooked to the order, and was completely unevenly prepared. Two people in the group ordered the burger which were ordered as medium and came overly well done. The prices are the only high end items on the menu. I have no problem paying for a decent meal, however the Chophouse of Chapin needs to address the food quality. I would advise to go elsewhere for your dinner plans.
