The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill - Buckhead

Nice choice for a great seafood dinner. Prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is great, service was a little slow but very friendly. We had appetizers and drinks and waited for a while to get or meal in. Food choices were wide so you should be able to find something you like. We had numerous drinks, oysters, Caesar salad, fish tacos, fish and chips, rainbow trout and scallops. Available sides were varied and delicious especially the grilled bustle sprouts!!! Parking situation is great with ample spaces.

On a Monday evening, it was not too busy. We just missed the happy hour special, otherwise we would also order something from the happy hour menu. Our server Tiana was friendly; but sometimes it was a bit hard to find her. iI would be 5-10 min went by without seeing her around. So to get the drink refill and check was a bit challenging (they do have QR code on our table to do self-checkout). The $12.95 Calamari satarter, which ~half of the plate was the sweet pepper and fried banana pepper, was a bit disappointing. Unless you are a fan of sweet pepper and banana pepper, I would not recommend this item. Baja Fish Tacos (3 for $25.95) and Shrimp & Grits ($24.95) were both pretty good. Wish the portion for Shrimp & Grits could be a bit more generous. Overall, we had a good dining experience. I would recommend this restaurant. Looking forward to try out more dishes.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch here. Service was quick and attentive. I enjoyed every dish ordered. We started with the crispy fried shrimp which was crispy and juicy, made to perfection. We also had the blackened shrimp egg rolls which were a nice portion and flavorful. The lobster roll was packed with tons of lobster, soft warm roll and fries were amazing. Brussel sprouts were mentioned as their best seller, but I’d opt for the fries honestly.

1st time here, my waiter had no personality, but the waitress helping him was awesome! The shrimp, fried crab claws and Rockefeller oysters were good. What was delicious!?, was the hush puppies (they are really corn fritters)! They can do better with the sides. I didn't enjoy my veggies at all. The manager talked with me for a while. He's great! If I had a restaurant I'd want him to manage it. He seems to really care and pay attention to details, right down to the salt shakers. I will definitely go back.

Appetizers Shrimp and crab dip with toasted pita chips. Shrimp were medium size and with chunks of crab. Truly authentic flavor and the pita chips could be snacked on all day. No grease in sight and the dip was cheesy. Shrimp egg rolls stuffed with carrots, cabbage, and shrimp. Fried to a golden crisp served with Thai style dipping sauce. Super good!! Grouper sandwich blackened with kale slaw and you get too choose 2 sides. About a 5 ounces grouper so not much fish, but if your eating light, this will accommodate your hunger. The grilled corn salad and flash fried teriyaki brussels sprouts did it for me. The corn had jalapeños in it and was creamy with the perfect amount of spice. Definitely a good side to order. The brussels sprouts were flash fried, but just did not have as much teriyaki sauce as I would have preferred. All the food was good, not bland, order came out quickly. The service was great, our waitress was busy but did a good job on checking on us. We opted to sit outside on the patio, because the inside was super cold. We made reservations for Sunday evening and had no wait time to be seated upon arrival. The prices are reasonable and we spent around $107, not including a tip, for 2 alcoholic beverages as well as another Grouper sandwich meal. Try them out, especially if you like seafood!
