    Great place to grab a bite right across from the beach. The view and breeze from the large open windows was perfect in March! I had an attentive server even though he was dealing with a separate, challenging table. Food was pretty good and decently priced for the location and cuisine type. The crispy crab cakes and snow crab legs were 10/10!

    Great food, fast service, and great atmosphere. We were searching for a new place to try, and ran across this place. It did not disappoint. You can eat outside or inside. You have a nice view of the beach across the street if you eat outside. I had the snapper with a creole sauce. It was outstanding! My wife had the fried shrimp, and it was also good. I highly recommend it for a try

    Fried Shrimp

    We chose to go to The Catch so we could take our fur baby with us. They have a nice porch area that allows well behaved dogs (thank goodness no other dog was there so ours was well behaved ). Any way we started with fried pickles which were delicious. He had the fish platter and I had the Gulf Shrimp platter. Both were very good and the atmosphere was nice. Right across from the water and they had a bar on the porch so drinks were quick. Definitely would go back next time in GS.

    They are very busy,we wait like a hour and half to get a table but when i get a table the food wont take long. All came out hot and so good. It was worth to wait.

    Everything went as expected- thanks again Josie My meal was only the corn and salad - while picking on the grits - this is definitely a southern meal -

    Blackened Fish and grits

    Best food I've had in gulf shores. Service is great. Outdoor seating is perfect. Wife got the crab boil and it looked amazing.

    Coconut shrimp with sweet chili sauce

    We had a party of four for lunch. The deck was lovely seating with a view of the gulf across the street. We all ordered appetizers for lunch and shared family style. Our server was darling and did a great job! We ordered bang bang shrimp, calamari, smoked tuna dip and coconut shrimp with sweet chili sauce. Every bite was wonderful!

    Seafood boil
    Jessica T.

    First- It was ridiculously loud. The coconut shrimp were fantastic. Some of the best I have ever had . Everyone ordered a boil. It was described as "Old bay garlic butter". It absolutely was not. It was light you on fire spicy. I love spice. But this was too much. The sauce was also extremely thick. More like a roux or a gravy and not a boil. My family loves crab boils and we eat them regularly. They gave no gloves, no bibs, no trays, no anything you would normally get. It was quite literally a hot mess. Not sure if we would go back. Overall it was just ok.

    Leah was the best server I've ever had, I'm naming my first born daughter after her because she was so amazing! 11/10 service

First things first: parking. It's limited and easy to miss, so keep an eye out. The restaurant itself is cozy--only two tables inside plus a small bar. If you're coming with a group larger than four, the outdoor picnic tables are definitely your best bet. They offer $10 wine bottle specials, which we, of course, took full advantage of. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They moved us inside as soon as a table opened up--and that's exactly when an emergency occurred. A guest tripped on the stairs while leaving, and the team had to call an ambulance. Despite the situation, the staff stayed calm, efficient, and compassionate. They managed the emergency, continued serving guests, and our food still arrived promptly. The dishes were flavorful and authentic, portions were generous, and the prices were absolutely reasonable. We'll definitely be back.

If you know you are going to have a pretty substantial wait going into it, then you can prepare yourself. There are shops and outdoor seats to occupy you a bit. The food is consistently good. Service is good. The prices can be high for some things, but you get large portions. You won't leave hungry. I love their crab legs. That is what my friends wanted so it's the first place I thought of to go. But their non-seafood loving teenager was thrilled the salad bar had salad and rolls and pasta salad. She was so full of that, she could only eat one of her chicken fingers. We had the oyster sampler platter. I have always loved being able to make my own cocktail sauce. Friends got the appetizer sampler with popcorn shrimp and fried pickles and one more thing i can't remember right now, but it was also a hit. My husband's grouper was huge. We left with several to go boxes. We will be back!
