Stopped in at lunch time to try this new place. Staff was great. Owner was on site, checking to make sure everyone was satisfied. Food was good and served promptly. I had the crawfish basket and clam chowder. It was very hot and fresh. Fries were on bottom and got a little soggy but overall a good experience. I learned that the "est. 1985" was when the dream begun in owners mind...not the establishment of the actual restaurant . I will return, particularly when crawfish are in season. read more

The Catch - Seafood Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Ordered 2 oyster poboy sandwiches and could not have been more disappointed. Both had only 2-1/2 oysters on entire sandwich, 3 at best.......REALLY, for 10.00? Will not be going back and cannot recommend a place with such poor value. read more

Neat little place and the food was great . it was very busy for a Wednesday evening. We tried all kinds of different fried items and it was all good. customer service however could have been a little better. staff was not very friendly at all. read more

The fries are probably the unhealthiest fries to have ever existed but they're good cause they're salty and sweet. I wish they had sizes for the po boys because the sandwich on top of the fries and hush puppies is too much food for me. And I would have saved half for later but its messy food and would be unappetizing as left overs. The boiled crawfish is good. The corn was soggy and gross. Some of the fishes were soggy/overcooked too. The mild could be more mild but it wasn't overbearing. The potatoes are huge. The current price is $5/lb, which is good. The people who work there are nice. Also they DO NOT deliver even though it says that they do in the info. read more

Great food and great customer service. Last time I went in there I did notice they bumped some of their prices up. Love going here for lunch and taking the family here. My favorite is the grilled fish tacos!! They have really great hush puppies!! One con is my clothes always smells like fried food when I go back to work after lunch lol. read more

Friend of ours treated my husband and I to lunch at The Catch, the other day...We've never eaten there before...Absolutely Delicious Grilled Shrimp and can't beat sweet potato fries...The fried oysters are well worth ordering and the garlic butter is to die for..Yup it's that good...We shall return to enjoy another marvelous lunch at The Catch....Soon read more

My husband and I tried The Catch for the first time and before we ordered we kept wondering if it was going to be better Happy's fish house which is our favorite place to eat seafood/cajun. We took one bite and agreed that they are at equal level with Happy's. Happys is just more Cajun and has variety and The Catch does great for just seafood! We loved The Catch and tasted like home cooking; and we would return. I took away one star because it took forever for someone to come and clean even after they knew it was dirty. The cashier was even trying to find someone and would have cleaned it himself if he wasn't swamped with orders. read more

Came by here on the way to Beaumont, stopped because of good reviews on Yelp. Talked to the store manager and ordered jalapeño fried and two dozen raw oysters. The jalapeños were hot and cooked just right. They were cooked in clean oil so they tasted wonderful. The crowd here was very friendly. The beer and drinks are free buttes and soda are extra, go figure. We drank beer. We stayed and visited with locals here. Oysters were fresh. The sauce was good. Have to make some effort to get here but it is worth it. read more

This place was a very pleasant surprise. Our order was ready just a few minutes after we sat down! The crawfish were well-seasoned and piping hot. My wife ordered fried shrimp and fried oysters, and they were cooked to perfection. The staff were courteous and responsive! The place isn't much on ambience, but the food more than makes up for it! I'll definitely revisit every time I come to Tyler! read more

This was our visit here tonight per a recommendation. Have to say after eating seafood/Cajun in New Orleans for years this place is pretty darn close to that food. You get plenty to eat and everything is fresh and tasty. We had fried catfish, fried shrimp, hush puppies with cole slaw and fries. The seafood is made to order not just sitting under heat lamps. The cole slaw is a must try. It has celery seeds which I love in slaw and is usually missing at most places that serve slaw. They also add a little creole seasoning in it which makes it so good and flavorful. Love the fact the keep Slap Yo Mama seasoning right on the table. We also had a to go order for daughter. She had the fried oyster po boy and a cup of the shrimp, crawfish and sausage gumbo with rice. Both were on point. So glad to find a place in Tyler that serves traditional Cajun food. We will definitely be back and can't wait to go back to try other menu items. The staff has great service. It is a walk up to the counter to order place but it will surprise you. You will not leave hungry. 4 shrimp and 6 catfish filets for $13.50 you can't beat that anywhere. read more

Came here while they were in the process of getting their liquor license re-instated. Which meant free margaritas. Food is EXCELLENT will be back even when I have to pay for the margs i honestly have never had fried catfish and hush puppies that were as good as this place. read more

This place's food was awful,I ordered JUMBO shrimp,and I almost needed a microscope to see the horrible,sad looking food,Jumbo is 10/15-15/20,these shrimps here were about 35/40,let s just said Long John's Silver tastes better than this overpriced joint...with all fees and tips I paid 30.00 for something that I didn t eat half of it,bad fries,dark (cooked in burnt oil) hish puppies. NEVER AGAIN. read more

My family and I were impressed with our recent visit to The Catch. One at our table had the Admiral's Platter which consists of a good sampling of catfish, oysters, shrimp, chicken, crawdads, and whitefish. I thought everything was very well cooked and very tasty. Not all has to be fried as he was able to have his shrimp grilled. If there had been malt vinegar on the table this place would have received 5 stars. :) However, the owner did say he had it available and mentioned that they would soon have classic fish and chips on Fridays. Bottom line, good place, good atmosphere. We will be back. Update: Went back and the malt vinegar is now on the table...now 5 stars! read more

This place is awesome. Fried shrimp and gumbo on point. Get yourself a beer and great customer service.

Impressive flavors from this place. Was here visiting my father in the hospital and tbh I do my best to stay away from Tyler and regretfully this place is worth drawing me back to the area more often. I started with the spicy seafood gumbo and the catfish and shrimp basket and instead of fries I opted for the red beans and rice. Everything has very nice flavors and was seasoned perfectly. The fried fish was perfect and very flaky. Whoever prepares it sure knows what they are doing. Will definitely return to this location. Unless they're willing to move outside the city, then I would return often. read more

Great seafood. Will definitely be back, the next time I'm in town. Anyone who enjoys fresh seafood will like this place.

Great review and I agree. The food was outstanding. My Fried Shrimp, were in par with the Pros in South Louisiana. Try it...

The Shrimp Poboy sandwich is delicious. The shrimp is large and get some with every bite. Plus, the fact that they have Slap Ya Mama seasoning on all the tables, will most definitely bring me back for more. read more

The Catch - Shrimp Poboy Sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Not as good as the other one on fifth st but they will get there. Just need to work out some kinks.

This is an amazing place with a very friendly staff and great food. I have been here a least 5 times and not once been disappointed. I strongly recommend this place. read more

Wow! My Mom and I decided to venture out for some greatly missed seafood with a cajun feel. We had tried another restaurant in the area, but weren't "Happy" with the food or prices there. ;) We happened upon the catch and we were thrilled! The food was absolutely fantastic! I ordered the chicken, crawfish and sausage gumbo as a starter and the boiled crab with potato and corn on the cob and my Mom had their fried oyster basket that came with really good fries. The portions were of good size and the prices weren't bad at all! I went with the extra spicy on my crab boil, and I must warn you, they aren't kidding about the extra part. You'll want to make sure you have plenty to drink before you indulge in the spice. I was shocked to find that they have free margaritas and beer (2 per customer) to wash all that goodness down. The margaritas were excellent! They weren't wine based, are made in house, and are the best margaritas I have had out in a while. We decided to try their house-made Key-Lime pie and were shocked at how good it was. It also was the best I have had since I last visited Florida! The staff was great, very friendly and attentive. The open kitchen allows you to watch the magic happen, which for me is always fun. The crab was perfectly cooked and came out in large, whole pieces. Everything about The catch 'caught us' and we WILL be back! We highly recommend checking it out. I can't imagine how you could be disappointed. 5+++++ read more

Best seafood I've had in a long while. Everything was extremely fresh and perfectly cooked. You can tell the fish, shrimp, and crawfish were all fresh and sourced very recently. The fried shrimp are the best I've had from any Restaurant. Crawfish are solid, would recommend you order spicy over medium as the medium doesn't pack much heat at all. The spicy are perfect. Free margs were delicious. Blue one is better than the red. The staff was also really friendly and attentive, even when we were sitting outside. Unlike the unfathomably Shitty Oak Hurst golf club 15 minutes down the road, the staff respects the patrons and the $22 experience of eating fresh seafood was far superior to the $38 twilight green fees encountered at Oak Hurst to play their run down and terribly designed course. God Bless The Catch. read more

I would not order the boiled crawfish from here! On two separate occasions we have ordered the boiled crawfish, both times they have been undercooked. You can tell because the tail meat should be a solid white however, it's a more clear color and very chewy texture. I feel like the cooks need to be taught how to really boil crawfish. They're trying too hard to get them out fast therefore they are lacking in flavor and they're undercooked. People who order crawfish know it's not a quick process and are prepared to wait for them. They should figure out their busiest times for crawfish and boil a big batch and let them steep in a cooler until people order them like real cajuns do it. If they're not willing to do that then they need to increase their cooking times. read more

The food was awesome! I had the boiled shrimp and 2lbs of crawfish. Seasoned to perfection! Will definitely go there again and try another item on the menu! read more

This place is so awesome and the food was great!! I only had crawfish and a margarita but those two things sold me. I will be coming in a lot during crawfish season. The service was wonderful as well. There was even a live band and it made the date so much more enjoyable. read more

They have the best crawfish I have had in a very long time. Most places over cook or do not cook the right way. Me and the wife stoped by to try them out. We have tried a lot of different places. By far the catch has the best. I don't care for the way they are set up where you order your food at the counter or there way of you want corn and potatoes it's an add charge. But I am being told by the wife that I have to get use to the NEW AGE WAY. RIGHT !! any ways all that to say that so far this is the best crawfish out there in and around Tyler. At least you don't have to sit in a tent in they heat or colder eat. And you have a working rest room. Unlike some where else people said they had good crawfish. Right now the catch has crawfish for $4.99 lb read more

Just be aware; during this time it appears this restaurant is overwhelmed and not handling things well. We called in a takeout order; they gave us the wrong food. We didn't check before bringing it home. No problem. We drove back to exchange the order. We were careful to be cheerful because, hey, we are in a crisis. The staff was rude and abrupt, didn't apologize. They are perhaps a bit stressed, but I have dealt with plenty of restaurants these days where the staff is at least cordial. read more

Had lunch at The Catch today and it was great! Had the catfish and shrimp....fish was battered just right and the shrimp were huge! Also came with fries and hush puppies, large portions for the money. Super friendly and attentive staff. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is the best seafood place in town. $8 for a shrimp basket. The "regular" size basket is plenty big enough for one person. The admirals platter is huge - enough for 2, includes lots of fried seafood. Everything is good - the shrimp are huge and taste fresh. Happy hour prices are good, they have a nice selection of frozen margaritas. read more

First time visit. The crabs and shrimp were good. Also tried the crawfish which were not bad (just small). Would try them again. Prices not bad either. read more

This was a pretty good restaurant. Service was great. The food was amazing. Small portions for what you pay in my opinion but still a good place to go eat. Little space but family friendly. When you walk in you order right after you walk in. read more

We were very disappointed in the shrimp po boy. It actually had only three pieces of shrimping it. My husband said we will never get to go back (don't even ask). Also don't have a live crawfish banner up if all you have is fried crawfish tails read more

My catfish seemed very pungent. Fresh fish doesn't smell like that especially after being fried. Service was random. Might try it again.

Wasn't sure what to expect with it being in a strip mall. The food is fantastic! Love the grilled shrimp and fresh vegetables. Service was great too. Kids and preachers eat free. Wish my grandkids were here! read more

Everything fresh and cooked to order. We had the fish, shrimp and cajun tenders with seasoned fries. Also tried the clam chowder, gumbo and hush puppies. All was very good and cooked just right. Loved the battering on the fish, shrimp and chicken. You pick up a menu at the door and order the meal at the register. The order is brought to your table. We were greeted by the co-owner and was checked on several times by him and the rest of the staff to see if there was anything we need. The other owner is a culinary chef and it showed in the food. It is a great place to enjoy a quick lunch or to meet friends for an evening meal. At lunch time the place filled up and started to overflow into the outside patio. Even with the lunch crowd there was not a long wait to be ordered and seated. This is one of the better places in Tyler. read more

First time here. Friendly and attentive staffs, very good food, excited to try the fried alligator next time :-) . Will bring whole family.

Great food!!! We will be back!!! Fried jalapeños were great not to mention fried catfish, fried shrimp & fried oysters!!!

I'll keep it short and sweet. Great food, AMAZING prices!!! We will be back!

Just meh. Service was good and employees were friendly. However, we were not impressed with the food, prices, or atmosphere. We probably won't bother going back. read more

Great service,fish platter with catfish, shrimps, oysters, French fries hush puppies, red beans with rice , good family atmosphere.
