We went hear after being recommended by friend but the service is horrible. We were told the table will be ready in 30 mins. After 30 mins we were told that there will be a wait for another 30-40 mins. We had kids with us and manager seem to care less. Don't think we will be back. read more

This is a hidden gem if you like seafood. The blackened grouper was fantastic and the hushpuppies as an appetizer were freshly made. Don't overlook this casual seafood restaurant located in a strip mall. You dont have to wait 3 hours for a great seafood meal! read more

Had Haddock Dinner Delicious next time I'm eating at new location in Lutz. Looks way better than previous location read more

The food looked good, but was tasteless. The red snapper and salmon liked amazing but had no flavor. The fries looked amazing but tasted like it was cooked in old oil. The appetizers were ok. Again, a nice neighborhood joint, off the beaten path. We live close so we wanted to love this place. The service was meh. We were supposed to have a server but she never came, then my husband asked the hostess for service and another server came over and said she would take our drink order... then ended up taking our app order, and just finished with our entrees. She was nice but we could tell she was a bit overloaded herself. We will be back but will try something different to give it another try! Pictures to show the food looked good! And presentation was on point. read more

Decided sone seafood and decided to try TGE GREAT CATCH . Very quiet environment looks very family themes and local type of place. Looks like it's been around for a while interiors wise. Has a very 80's JAWS Local bar kinda vibe. The hosting is friendly as well as waitress , the lunch menu was explained. 11-2pm lunch I decided to get the blackened Basa with coleslaw and a cup of New England clam chowder , for an extra $4.99 .. right away they bring the SAUCES YUMMY .. Tarter , hot sauce, BBQ The food came pretty quick in a plastic container old school .. delicious nice pics the coleslaw is one of the best I've had around here. Sue was generous enough to get me a soup to go on the house . Since it slipped her mind lol .. I was fine without it to be honest as I was full .. this place is a hidden gem .. coming back .. please ask for SUE she's a darling read more

We called ahead since we were a party of 7 and when we arrived there was a table ready for us so we could east our late lunch. We started with the calamari, gator, fried cheese, and fried mushrooms. They all came out hot and cooked perfectly. The table enjoyed the appetizers and how quick they came out to the table. I knew we had a lot of the appetizers so I opted to just go with the clam chowder. It did have lots of clams and potatoes and good seasoning. I really enjoyed the soup. It was not super think (which is my preference). The kids ordered the fried shrimp and the grilled salmon. They both liked their selections and ate all of the food. They both thought the fries were really good too. The server was great and kept drinks full and checked to make sure we were all doing well. Great meal and would go back again when back in town. read more

Do not let the pictures on the menu fool you, their food looks nothing like that when it comes out. This place belongs on the TV show Kitchen Nightmares. All of our food was terrible and the managers response was to tell me she doesn't like the Mahi either, since it's dry. It shouldn't be! I would give zero stars on the food quality if I could! The only positive, the staff was friendly. read more

Good food and nice atmosphere! Their prices are also good. They can get busy so arrive early.

Freshest seafood around. Huge menu selection and oversized portions. Two meals in one! Another great gem of a place. Our server was great. Definitely will return. read more

Went to the new place to try it for lunch. It was $14 for a half steak sub and fries and soda. The sandwich was almost no steak. They made the same deal for one of the others at our table so the made a sub and cut it in half. He got most of the meat and I got most of the bread. One guy got the coconut shrimp and it was well well done. Almost black. Was really hoping it would be better. read more

We were a party of 12. Everyone was extremely nice and the food was very good! I got the clam chowder and lobster roll (cold). My friend got the grouper and that was phenomenal. Prices were great! We loved it! read more

We picked this place from other reviews and wanted good seafood since our local place in Hudson closed down. The baskets were large and you get 2 sides. I upgraded to hush puppies for 99 cents and that was a great decision. You can get grilled, fried, and blackened in the baskets which is great to have that choice. The service was excellent and everything generous. We would have preferred to sit in the patio but I think it is being resurfaced so we hope to try that next time. read more

This is a great place to stop. Clean - excellent seafood and great service. They even have things for those who might not want fish or swimming things for the sea :) read more

We have been going to the Great Catch for nearly two years. They recently moved to a new location on US41. We would usually get different waitresses until we had Tiffany wait on us. What an impressive waitress she is! After yhat first experience with Tiffany always request her. She always knows what I drink and what I usually eat. One time we had to wait for a table and sat at a high top ... out comes Tiffany with my and my husband's drinks. She is like a little energizer bunny, rushing around to her customers' tables. Without any doubt she is the best waitress I have ever had anywhere! I always get the salmon and the fries are delicious ... I get the sweet potato fries. My husband either gets the chicken sandwich or philly cheese steak and regular fries. Best fries I have had since coming to this country from Great Britain. Also, they have a mini Gordon Ramsey there ... that is what I call him ... his name is Daniel ... very impressive. The prices for wine is also very impressive ... $6.50 for a glass of wine. My favorite seafood restaurant in Tampa. read more

quality, preparation and price have left this place. Fisherman's platter, once $22 now $32, shrimp chewy, fish blah unseasoned, oysters extra, slaw cup mini.What I rated 5 five years ago when we moved up here, now a 2 regretfully. read more

Service was amazing. Sadly the food was not. Party of 6 m. Won't be back. Feel so bad for waitress not their fault. Hope they find a place deserving of their service. read more

Friendly service, we had the foot long lobster roll, it was packed with lobster meat, we chose lobster bisque to go with it. It was a very satisfying meal. read more

No pictures because we ate everything way too fast! It was that good! I was craving fried oysters so I turned to Yelp and turns out this place isn't too far! Yay! And omg are their oysters done right. Big, and delicious. Not over breaded and not over cooked. Luckily the very helpful lady at the take out window pointed me to the dinner (vs sandwich or plate) which has 40% more oysters (Whoopi!) and comes with two sides. I went with the house made onion rings and baked beans. Both really good. As if a giant plate of oysters wasn't enough, I couldn't leave without trying the foot long lobster roll. This was so delicious. The bread to meat ratio was spot on (way more meat than bread). Not too much dressing so you can let the lobster shine. Cooked perfectly. Mind you i had a 10min drive home before we ate and I'm still raving about food that should been eating right away. Just imagine how good it will be fresh in the restaurant. I will definitely be eating here again, probably this weekend. read more

First time trying this place not impressed!! Will give benefit of the doubt because it was extremely busy and the food looked wonderful but wasn't there in taste, Everything was soggy and not fresh. I'd recommend sit down and not take as it took 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food and 10 minutes for someone to approach me waiting at the front with 4-5 people actively on the floor. To add on I physically watched them refry my food and take it out of the containers the waiter later gave me, as the take out section is next to the grill area... not impressed by that one bit. Would given a second chance but jsut being honest on my first experience from ordering to tasting. read more

Excellent, great service. I had mussels, josephine. My husband had lobster stew, and we also had calamari

The food is good old fashioned New England lobster, scallops, clams ( belly), PLUS almost anything else you care to eat! No kidding- pasta, steak, etc. If you know good fried clams, this is the place for you! Well, they do have regular clam strips for the uninitiated, those who know a good New England whole belly clam will really appreciate this restaurant. But there's so much more. The best coleslaw, baked beans, and too many other sides to mention, along with onion strings, and french fries! The accommodations resemble an old diner style restaurant in need of an update. But I accept the old rather than the new in order to keep costs from rising even more! Now, good food done well is not cheap, so consider this a big splurge. Their menu style is to feature the prices, and then add on the current market surcharge for whatever seafood you're ordering. I don't mind this at all, but some people might find it confusing. Your waitress will help you. I love this place and their food ! read more

I had the clam strip dinner. It was huge way too much to eat. I also ate at the onion rings and green beans. They were delicious. My wife had the fried shrimp they were equally as delicious. Definitely a great place to eat. Definitely will be back. I want to try Wednesday special prime rib read more

First time visiting and they were out of: onion rings, baked potatoes, shrimp scampi sauce, sweet potato fries, all Sam Adam's beer. They served can beans. read more

What a wonderful meal! Everyday they have a special and Tuesday they had all you can eat Mai Mai-I LOVED that you could have it cooked 4 different ways! Comes with fries and coleslaw which were prepared perfectly! So sorry I didn't get photos but I will be back as I was told they have GREAT lobster rolls! Service was great! read more

This local joint knows how to whip up some seafood. Seats fill up, folks, so come ready to wait 15+ minutes on a busy night. Chowder was legit, lobster roll is a repeat, and even the clam strips were some of the best we've had! read more

I came here for their famous lobster roll and added a clam chowder as well. It was a perfect amount of food. For $16, you get a GENEROUS amount of lobster in the halfwhich! If you're extra hungry they offer a foot long but for me, personally, the portion I got was enough along with the chowder. I don't come here often because it's a tad bit out of the way for me but I was also recommended to try the fried haddock from someone who really knows his seafood. I'll have to try it next time! PROS: The lobster roll hype is real. They have an app where you can earn a free meal with visits. They have weekday specials (the same person told me Monday is an awesome special). CONS: location for me read more

I wasn't expecting much from this place given the location and how it looks on the outside, but I came here with a few friends where we shared the gator bites and I got the lobster roll. It was all delicious and honestly I had no complaints! I feel like lobster rolls always tend to be a little bit disappointing but this one was super flavorful and the bread was perfect. Their fries were also very good. Definitely a great seafood option in the area! read more

Great service, food came out quick. The old Beef O'Bradys got a face lift and is comfortable and clean. However the food was under par. Salad - lettuce came out of bag and was brown, calamari was greasy and grilled mahi mahi was very dry and tough, cold slaw had a bitter taste and rice was cold. Hopefully things will improve. read more

This place has great potential, but they need to change up some things when frying food, the food was decent, and the fish could have been fried 2 to 3 minutes longer to give it a firmer crust. Let the grease soak into something other than the fries you put on the customer's plate. read more

Food is great. Portions are substantial. Service has lot to be desired especially on Friday and weekend nights. Took two hours just to get appetizers and drinks. We walked after settling up for those. Ambiance- has a pub feel. read more

We loved the old location closer to 54/41. Before covid we would go here often for their All You Can Eat specials. There was a lot of hype about the restaurant moving to where Beef O Brady's used to be, and my family was very excited! But since they have moved closer to Lutz it is not the same. The food quality was poor and fried foods were all cold, it took forever to get to the table, and the service quality was embarrassing. Our server seemed more irritated that we were there and never refilled our sweet teas. My kids ate their food, but the chicken was overcooked and clearly looked burnt. We went to the new Lutz location twice and will not be back. It's a shame to see small businesses like this struggle because we try to support them over chain restaurants. Maybe with the move they have a new owner or manager? When we were there my husband and I never saw a manager, owner, or anyone that looked like one to address our issues with. When asked if we could speak to a manager, we were told "there was none" that night. Years ago, I can recall being greeted by the manager and owner on a regular basis. Not anymore! If we want our seafood, we go to the Zephyrhills location now. FYI, they are not owned by the same person! read more

We were a group of 7. We were seated almost immediately. The waitress was amazing. Dishes ordered were Salmon, Scallops, Shrimp, Seafood Gumbo, Calamari, Gator, peel & eat shrimp, salad, coleslaw, baked beans, French fries & baked potato. Each item was delicious & cooked perfectly. The temperature on each dish was perfect. And most impressive was they were served quickly at the same time. read more

Haven't been to new location, but every visit in old location was great. Adequate portions and always golden fried haddock.

Not what I expected. The menu and reviews looked good but- it fell short of all the good ratings. The lobster roll lacked flavor. The lobster bisque was too salty no lobster. It was a disappointment. The wait staff was nice. They only serve beer, wine and sodas. The ambiance was ok nothing to rave about. read more

Boating plans got rained out so what else is there to do - seafood outside of course! Have not been here in more than a year and this place is still going strong.

Great local fish house reasonably price good service. read more
