I'm giving it a 5 star rating even though I wasn't happy with the garlic bread size. It was no bigger 3" X 3". I paid an extra .69 cents that I won't do again. They used to have wonderful garlic toast that I didn't mind paying what they charged. Mandy and the cashier were great! My shrimp and fish with red beans & rice was delicious. Just enough bean and rice ratio. There have been times when it had no liquid and not much beans in it. Just mush. Mandy mentioned that adding more water to the beans fixed the problem. Very happy with our visit. My husband had the shrimp and fries which he enjoyed. read more

Not bad for fast food! I'm pleasantly surprised. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. The gator was fantastique! The fries and catfish were good. I was able to sub my fries with squash, and I am thankful for that. The server was pleasant. Unfortunately the floors were sticky making it uncomfortable in the dining room. They have TVs playing sports and Fox News if that's your thing, but no sound. They have music. read more

My wife and I went for the first time today. She had the popcorn shrimp basket and I had the catchfish basket. We both agreed that these were the best shrimp and catfish that we've had in Lubbock. We also got the fried boudin, which was pretty good, too. The staff were very friendly and the manager made some good recommendations for our next visit. I suggest y'all stop in and give them a try. read more

We tried this new seafood restaurant and I ordered Jambalaya. They give you quite a bit of portion plus it was scrumptious. Other family members ordered fried seafood baskets. Wasnt able to take pics of theirs. But we will definitely be going back. Great seafood place. read more

Just straight gas the prices are extremely affordable. It sure beats long John Silver's and red lobster. You can comfortably feed yourself and three other people for under $60. I would highly recommend it is one of my favorite seafood fast food joints.. read more

The Catch - Seasoned fried fish - Seafood Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I didn't want to go to two stars, which portion size, it should have been. I don't know how all these people are on here raving about good size portions, when I just spent close to $35, basically for a couple appetizer size dishes. I ordered fried alligator, which I not only eat, but I also make at home. I'm pretty sure they're using strictly tenderloin, because when you get into the tail part of the alligator, depending on the thickness of the tail and the cut by the butcher, some pieces could be tougher than others, and tender as well. But all these nuggets were really tender. Flavor was okay, but I can't be a prude comparing them to what I make at home. I had the shrimp etouffee. The flavor was absolutely on point. But I got maybe a pint and a half? Again, the portion size everybody raves about, isn't there, unless they are from the deep jungles of Somalia with famine issues. I'll probably never stop here again, just because I never come to lubbock, but if I do, I might order another plate, or I might remember what I just paid almost $40 for. I took pictures of both entrees that I ate, and put a quarter next to them so you can reference the size for yourself. To call that a "good portion size" is quite the overstatement. I'm actually still hungry, and I'm going to have to go scour inside for something else to eat. read more

I still miss the old Taco Bell that this used to be, but The Catch is pretty good. I had the spicy shrimp pasta. It also came with grilled sausage. It had a creamy sauce with a lot of flavor and everything was cooked just right. The toast was perfect. The tables and condiments could use some cleaning, and the TV's were all on different channels and too loud, but the food was great. read more

Great shrimp poboy and the red beans and rice were just like home back in Louisiana. Oysters were small and lacked much flavor. Good meal. read more

great cajun style down home cooking, best catfish meal i've had in Lubbock! its very laid back and casual, gets pretty crowded at lunch time and weekends, but the service is always fast and efficient. read more

Horrible, Music so loud made my ears bleed, service who cares attitude, WAY TOO EXPENSIVEp for small Asian fish advertised as Catfish! Total Scam and ripoff here read more

One of the most disappointing places I've ever been to. The concept of a fast food joint serving fish and other seafood is distressing from the walk up counter to the poor quality of the food served. It's your choice to eat there, but I would rather not. read more

The service was excellent and the food was so good we felt horrible after leaving because we both ate entirely too much. We just couldn't stop eating! The only complaint I have is that the alligator tail app needs to have more. It was a small portion for the price. The shrimp was excellent and my wife LOVED the chicken. The best thing about this place is that, even though my wife HATES seafood, she was 100% willing to come back because her chicken was so great. So now we have a perfect compromise. Good job to everyone there read more

I was here about 6 months ago and the oysters were terrible. I spoke with the manager told him I would try them again. Went on Friday, ordered the oysters and they were extremely salty. Stoke with a manager he didn't seem too concerned. Well I'm on the search for a new place for oysters, I'll not spend my money there again. It's sad because the staff that waited serviced us were great. read more

I came to visit my daughter for the weekend who is a senior at Texas Tech, and happened to look up seafood places since it was Friday and Lent....this place was absolutely awesome!! We had fried shrimp, fried catfish & gumbo and they were all delicious. I'll be back again for sure. read more

If you are wanting seafood, and wanting it fast, go here. The food, overall, was pretty good. The "healthy" options are limited and if you ask the cashiers, they don't know what to recommend. This was a drawback, considering that this is ran like a fast food joint, but the people taking your order don't know how their food is actually "prepared." It's definitely better than any fast food, seafood joint I've been to, but it still has that vibe. The front area was dirty, the soda machine was the same, and it was crowded (COVID precautions were not strenuous, to say the least). If it was less expensive, I could give this place some leeway, but we spent $60 for four of us. So-- all in all, go here if you want some decent seafood, and wanting (mostly) fried food. Choose somewhere else if you are strapped for cash, or wanting cleanliness overall. read more

I enjoyed my catch fish plate. Arrived at a weird time, early afternoon. Apparently I just missed the lunch rush, as the place was a kicked over mess. The floors and counters were not clean at all. And the prep was missing. No sliced lemon wedges in the bucket that was on the counter for self service, etc. but the food was the bomb. The Best hushpuppies! Fried fish and shrimp excellent. I will give it another try. Maybe aim for better timing. read more

Sweet Baby Jesus!!! Let me start of by saying my eyes literally got a tad bit watery when I got home and opened my meal. My significant other ordered a standard catfish meal that had all my senses tingling. Being that we have eaten fish from practically every average establishment here in the Hub, I must say you do get that extra bang for the buck. I ordered the Admiral platter. I was so ecstatic when I saw it that I stuffed my gluttonous face immediately! Before I even thought of taking a picture. It was how I felt the first time I heard Gloria Gaynor sing "I will survive" or when Whitney Houston hit that note on " I will always love you" PHENOMENAL PHOOD!!! read more

The Catch - Admiral Platter went above and beyond my expectations - Seafood Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Large plate of fried food... that was fantastic! Highly recommend if you are in need of seafood in West Texas.

It's a fast food type of seafood restaurant. The food is good, expect a lot of fried choices on the menu. We have ordered the crawfish, oysters, and shrimp and thought they were comparable to pricier seafood restaurants we have been to. read more

Ordered carry out. Ordered the French Quarter plate. Had no étouffée sauce and the catfish I ordered was fried not blacken as I ordered. When I called the restaurant to let them know of the mistake, I was told they were out of the sauce. I ask why I was not told that when I ordered. All I was told was sorry. This was the second mistake I've made trying this restaurant. Don't waste your time or money. Terrible service and food!!!!! I only gave them one star because there was nothing lower. read more

Really good food. The ambience here is off kilter with how great the taste of the food is. I don't live in this town and so this is a new restaurant for me but it felt like I was in a fast food restaurant but I was eating food they tasted way better than fast food place. So it felt awkward. But the food was good and it was clean in the restaurant and the workers were all wearing masks. read more

The Catch - Delicious Shrimp Boil with ALL the flavors as suggested by cashier. It was great. - Seafood Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch at the Catch today. The food was hot and fresh! I had the whitefish taco, grilled. I chose the fried okra for my side and it was outstanding! It was like eating homemade. The fish was light and not 'fishy', and the taco was delicious. I would go just to get the hush puppies... perfectly fried. I will definitely tell others and will be going back to try the other items on the menu that sounded good. read more

Came in around 11 on a weekday. I can't remember the names of what we ordered but we tasted the following: red beans and rice, white fish, shrimp, hush puppies, boudin balls, fried oysters, and coleslaw. We loved the red beans and rice. It was delicious. Fried fish and shrimp were good and the hush puppies were very good. I did not care for the boudin balls, the coleslaw was too dry and didn't taste fresh to me, and the oysters were ok. I will note the fried items did not taste like they were fried in old oil and they weren't overly oily, so that was a major plus. Service was excellent! Everyone was so nice and friendly and they thanked us for our business. Overall, the food was good and we will come back. read more

Good food, long wait. But totally worth it. Nice customer service. Like any other place in Lubbock on a Friday, it's busy.

The guy that runs it is the rudest manager I have ever seen. I know 3 other people that won't step foot in this place. They get the orders wrong and it's oh well. The guy said you can't buy side items with your meal. WHAT?? Every other employee does it but this guy. I keep seeing less people there so it will come back around. I will never set foot in there again. read more

This place is always great! Thee service is fast and friendly and the food is great. On this visit my boyfriend had the shrimp po boy with fries. The fries are soooo good. He said he loved the po boy and the bread looked great. I had the half and half with grilled shrimp and gumbo. It comes with rice, garlic bread, hush puppies and a side. I opted for the fried okta because theirs is the best in town. The gumbo is delicious with the eight amount of spice and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. And their cocktail sauce is awesome. This place is a definite regular spot for us. read more

Good place for quick meal. Food is good for a fast food place. Don't expect a gourmet meal

We heard about this place and all of the rave reviews but haven't had a chance to stop in. It was disappointing. Our food did not come to the table at the same time. And we ordered the exact same thing! The food was ok but not great. Nothing to rave about. 4 shrimp and 2 catfish with a side and water x 2 was $40 felt a little pricey for what you get. Also the place was packed and people in line were standing over our table. read more

I eat there almost every Monday night. The food is awesome. The staff is also great. My favorite is blackened catfish and shrimp. Best in town! read more

As an out of town guest I was surprised to see the people behind the counter with no mask at all. The service was good for the online order we placed. However, we got the food home and the orders were not correct. We had to make a 2nd trip for missing food. My recommendation would be not to tightly bound the bags and allow customers to check food before leaving to ensure it's correct instead of saying if it's wrong just call us like you are going to deliver. I picked this place based off of reviews and I would say again friendly counter help. Fish fillet were small and needed more seasoning. After $85, we would not try again for a family or online order option. read more

Other than the lack of any Covid precautions, The Catch was super good. ‍ We wore our mask in (unlike a lot of folks) and are both fully vaccinated. Our justification for placing our order. The Catch didn't disappoint! Food was fresh, staff was friendly and service was quick. Yes, a tad pricey for fast seafood but ya get what ya pay for! We will go back! Oh, forgot to mention free beer and margaritas! read more

I really give them 3.5 stars The food is "decent" It's a little overpriced in my opinion. My fiancé and I each got the Two piece and a side it was $24... yikes with that price I just expected more... like I said it's not bad at all but would rather eat at Dimbas. read more

New to Lubbock boiled or fried its good. Just remember seafood is not cheap. Fried fish has good flavor but I hate to say that Popeyes red beans & rice are actually better in my opinion. The crab & shrimp boil is pretty good too don't wear any clothes you don't want splattered cracking shells is a messy game read more

Seems like the quality of the food is diminishing from when they first opened. This past Wednesday was our 6th time to eat here and every time since our 3rd visit the food has not been as good as the first 2 times and they continue to get the order wrong or only bring out 1 plate and then the 2nd plate 10 minutes later only after I asked about it. I don't care about masks because I'm NOT a sheep but I do not trust tarter sauce that is not refrigerated. In March I would have given 5 stars. The staff is very friendly and helpful and I will be back but please improve the food quality before it's too late! read more

As far as Lubbock seafood goes, this place is the best. I lived in Houston for 7 years and this type of seafood restaurant (ie Cajun / Gulf Coast seafood) is everywhere and for Lubbock to finally have a taste of that type of TX-LA seafood is a much welcome treasure. My wife sat in the drive thru line for about an hour on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a variety of food. We got the boiled crab and shrimp with corn and potatoes. The fried platter with Catch Fish, Shrimp, Crawfish tails, and hush puppies. Plus some gumbo to round out our sampling. Everything was spot on. The boiled crab leg may have been my favorite. There was plenty of meat even thought it was not easy to eat huge crab legs when your at home and don't have the right tools but I managed. The crab, shrimp, corn, and potatoes were all cooked perfectly and had the right amount of Cajun spices and butter. The fired platter was great and the crawfish tails were my personal favorite. Lastly when only had a free sample of the gumbo but it was also good. It was a free sample so it didn't have much rice but I imagine and whole bowl of it would be a huge meal because of all the shrimp, crawfish tails, fish and sausage that came with it. The cocktail sauce is tangy with just the right spice. The tartar and ranch sauces are unique and go well with any line up of food. The Catch serves up great seafood and I hope the quality remains consistently good and thrives in West Texas for years to come. read more

I had some great fried catfish, it was some of the best I've had, I got the jumbo basket with okra and it was a huge portion, I had tons of okra and two hush puppies and a free beer to go with it. I would give it five stars all day all the food that I saw it coming out with everyone else is ordering also looked delicious. It was however quite a long line before and it did take a while Before I was able to order so maybe don't go there in rush-hour. I did scene a bit overwhelmed by the big crowd they are still a new business and you can tell they're still figuring out their organization. Hopefully they'll get it down soon though. read more

This spot was very packed since it's new. I went inside to place my order and the line was wrapped inside of the building. There were no COVID precautions enforced. Everyone in line was not 6 feet apart and some of the cooks in the back didn't have their masks on. I got two combos, beignets, and some cookies. We waited 30 minutes total for our food. Overall the food was very delicious and freshly prepared. read more
