Fun place with big sheets of white butcher paper. Big long tables for big groups. I had fish tacos and shrimp tacos. The fish was cod and they served a large piece with good seasoning. The shrimp tacos had bay shrimp with the same seasoning. Around us were many groups have seafood boils which is sold by the pound. The savory smells of boil could be enjoyed all through the place. Our server was a nice young man who came by our table often to ask if all was well and consistently filling our water glasses. read more

AMBIANCE 5.5/10 After spending way too long trying to decide what to eat, we finally settled on seafood boil and landed on The Big Catch because of their all-you-can-eat option. Walking in, our first impression wasn't great the building looked a little run down. Once inside, though, the vibe improved. It had a rustic sports bar feel with TVs everywhere, an open bar, and a seafood station. Nothing fancy, but not terrible. EXPERIENCE 7/10 The service was one of the better parts of the visit. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and took the time to answer our questions and recommend a few items. The food took a little while to come out. BTW there's a 90 minute limit after we were seated and the second round of our seafood took 30 minutes to come out (they apparently forgot our order) and they proceeded to tell us we had last call right after our second round of food barely got to the table. Not sure if that's done on purpose but we really didn't really appreciate that. Overall though, the staff definitely made the experience better. THE FOOD 5/10 Here's where things started to fall apart. The first all-you-can-eat platter came with two snow crab clusters, 1/2lb crawfish, 1/2lb mussels, 1/2lb peeled shrimp, plus unlimited sides. One thing that caught us off guard and maybe we just missed it on the menu is that after your first round, you can no longer order the snow crab or peeled shrimp. That was disappointing since those ended up being the best seafood options on the table. The snow crab was solid, and the peeled shrimp were surprisingly good the texture was crunchy and we didn't get any fishy smell or flavors. Everything after that... not so much. Round two included whole shrimp, clams, and scallops. The portions were noticeably smaller, and almost everything tasted like it had been frozen for too long. The crawfish lacked freshness, the whole shrimp had the same issue and were mushy without the initial crunch additionally the shrimp was hard to peel which makes us think that it was POSSIBLY reheated, and the scallops were tiny with a strong fishy flavor that made them hard to enjoy. Even the House/Cajun seasoning didn't do much to save it. It was too oily and honestly just tasted like salt, there was no spiciness either and we got the hot flavor. Ironically, the sides ended up carrying the meal. The cucumber salad was fresh and crunchy, which balanced out some of the heavier seafood, and the sweet potato fries were honestly one of our favorite things we ordered. And one last thing... somehow even the water tasted off. What We'd Order Again Snow Crab Clusters Peeled Shrimp Fish Taco Sweet Potato Fries Cucumber Salad Sausage Corn Skip These Whole Shrimp Clams Mussels Scallops Crawfish House/Cajun Seasoning Cajun Fries Cajun Wings Boiled Egg Water Final Rating If you're going for the all-you-can-eat seafood, don't expect premium quality. The first round is decent, but once the crab and peeled shrimp are off the table, the meal drops off pretty quickly. Would we come back? Definitely not. We ended up paying 90$ for 2 people which you can argue is good since it's an AYCE seafood meal but afterwards after speaking to the waiter we found out the shrimp and crawfish was indeed frozen that along with all the other disappointing food doesn't make us feel like it was worth the money. Overall Gassington Rating: (5/10) read more

Awesome first visit!!! we will definitely be coming back! We ordered the half pound of boil plus the dozen oysters. Quality of the seafood was so fresh it surprised us honestly! And it was definitely more than enough food for two people!! Service was awesome and the staff were all friendly and warm! We were seated right away because we had gone in on a weekday night so hardly anyone. Everything was fresh and delicious and we enjoyed ourselves!! We will definitely be coming back again!! read more

I visited this restaurant with a couple of girlfriends. It was a Friday late afternoon, early evening and it was quite empty and quiet. The waitress was attentive, and the food came out within a reasonable amount of time. We started with drinks, which were just okay. Small portion, weak and just not good. We didn't order a second one. They have "packages" but they mainly include the items that aren't very favorable like mussels, crawfish, clams and whole shrimp. Now if that's your go to, then you're good to go; however, in order to get the good stuff, like crabs, peeled shrimp, and lobster, you'll have to add it on, and before you know it, your bill is high! Lol. I mean they charged for every little thing. I guess that's eating out in this economy! I wasn't a fan of the Cajun sauce. In conclusion, this place was a miss for me, and I doubt I'd ever return. read more

Hands down the BEST sauce we've had at any broil! You cannot go wrong with the house mix! We ordered the shrimp, crab legs, lemon pepper wings and fries , fried rice, and sweet potato fries. Everything was amazing! We had party of 10 and Bob was on it with the service! Drinks stayed full! We will be coming back read more

Came to try this place on New Year's Day. Located across the street from Ontario Mills Mall. Plenty of parking. We were seated right away. It is nice an open. They have large tables. Ordered a 1.5lbs of peeled shrimp medium with the house sauce mix along with Catfish and Cajun fries. Start with the Catfish. It was very good. Very light thought. Would have preferred 2 larger pieces rather than the 6 small pieces they bring as you appear to get more breeding than catfish this way. Tasted great dipped in lime salt/pepper mix! The Cajun fries. They were thick and doughy. How can they mess up fries?They tasted cheap; like worse than the usual frozen fries that you buy from a grocery store and put in the over. This was a big fail. I love having fries with my seafood bag and catfish. Out of every single place I've had like this, these were the worst fries. Couldn't even get through half even though they were very stingy with the portioning. The shrimp and sauce were very good. I really liked that they offer 1/2lb options as no other places do. Medium is less spicy than the medium from other chains. Liked that they have the mini ice! Bucket Crab and Wild Crab are still the best. read more

Super glad I finally got a chance to try this place out! We came on a Saturday afternoon and was seated promptly. Our waiter was super friendly and got us water after we sat down. She explained the menu to us since it was our first time there. We ended up ordering 2 lbs of shrimp with their house mix special sauce & catfish basket. If you have a bigger group they also have combo deals that are definitely worth. Their sauce was super flavorful and their shrimp wasn't mushy! It wasn't super salty either. I legit wanted to take the bag home with the extra sauce. The catfish and fries were super crispy too. Overall the experience was amazing. The staff checked on us multiple times and we didn't have to flag anyone down for water refills. It was also nice they had a bunch of tvs on to watching games on. I would definitely be coming back! read more

The food was fantastic. The only thing I disliked the most was the 90 min limitation for all you can eat.. they literally made sure that all we could order was 1 serving.. the food took 40 mins to get to the table after we ordered! Guess thats the catch!! Lol read more

Big Catch Seafood House - Delicious ..can you tell? - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Ontario, California

I visited this restaurant yesterday with my cousin, and unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. The place was pretty empty, yet the service was still very slow .To be fair, there was only one girl handling everything!! seating guests, taking orders, and serving food, while another man would occasionally come by to drop something off and then disappear. The food was the biggest letdown. The sauce was extremely dark, thick, and bland, with abt 6 large bay leaves in it. It also had a very bitter taste that overpowered everything. On top of that, the menu is very limited, only two combo options. If you want crab and shrimp together, you're forced to buy them separately, and it's not cheap The only upside was that they had a deal where if you spend over $70 before tax, you get a free item from a selected list. Also, the crab meat and shrimp themselves were very meaty and fresh, which is the main reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one. Overall, I wouldn't return. The food , service and price just weren't worth it. read more

Visited today! When we arrived, it was EMPTY! Big shout out to SAM! He was very caring, attentive, polite & funny! We asked for a broom since we have 2 little babies who make a mess and they didn't let us clean up Lol (yes we left a good tip) Customer service was honestly amazing. FOOD: food was very flavorful! We asked to have our fries half and half (half regular/ half Cajun). Thank you for doing that! The rest was just great. We also had THE POUNDER, shrimp fried rice and Cajun dirty fried rice. We really enjoyed our meal and literally helped as much as we could to clean up. Overall, the restaurant itself was very fun. People were coming in as we were leaving and everyone seemed to be cared for. Thank you to everyone and again, thank you Sam. read more

We had a work dinner here tonight and the experience was excellent. The food and server were great. We did have a reservation and our table was ready shortly after arriving. We have tried a few Cajun boils in the area but most were pretty disappointing. The Big Catch was one of the better ones. The raw oysters were served with Tabasco sauce and lemon wedges, and our server provided cocktail sauce upon request. They were fresh and decent size; no complaints at all. The fried oysters were a great appetizer, a nice breaded coating and had a nice flavor. The fried calamari was also a great choice. They were cooked with a light batter and season with some peppers. There were so many appetizers on our table that I can't remember them all. The main course was the boil. We had a pound of each: head on shrimp, black mussels, green mussels, clams, sausages, and 6 corn on the cob pieces. I would have to say the cajun seasoning was on point. The shrimps were a bit smaller than what I've had at other places but were still quite good. Clams were perfect, and the black mussels were too (when you were able to get one that was an empty shell). The greens mussels were ok, they are larger than the black ones but the flavor was much more tame, and on the half shell (which usually means they were frozen). Depending on how much you order, you can get up to three free addons. Which makes it an excellent deal if you are feeding a decent size group. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and the service was top notch. I would recommend this location if you are in the area and want a good seafood boil. read more

Disappointed with the Food I was really excited to try Big Catch Seafood, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. Spent $55 on a pound of snow crab legs or more like snow dry legs The snow crab legs were extremely dry--so bad that I ended up throwing the whole thing away. It wasn't even edible. Definitely won't be coming back here again. read more

Big Catch Seafood House - Love this special - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Ontario, California

Frankly, it was exactly what I wanted and worth every penny. $50 pp seems reasonable for more seafood than you can eat and it was super fresh, in fact I looked at the seafood they had on ice and the lobster waved back at me... I def recommend their house sauce and medium spice was pretty spicy. I am rarely out here, Ontario but if I was and needed a seafood fix this would probably be top choice in the non-sushi category. Pro note: Wear the bib and gloves, you'll need it. read more

Food we eat here a lot. Today just take out shrimp with house sauce the best Service was fast Ambiance spacious. Open space and airy. You can ask for gloves if you want to use your hands. Special prices during happy hours read more

Big Catch Seafood House - Shrimp take out so fresh yummy - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Ontario, California

very nice Vienam's fusion cuisine, very testy and creative. A little expensive, but it worse.

Pickup service was perfect. Packaging well organized. Delivery time was on time. 5 out of 5 stars. Food ordered was great except for one. The snow crab meat was not firm. The crab legs were small. Sausages were succulent, lobster was fresh, shrimp meat was firm. Garlic noodles with shrimp was on point and plain garlic lox noodles went well with the boil. Server made sure we had proper amount of bibbs, gloves, lemon, salt and pepper and napkins. Everything was perfect except for the snow crab. Good thing the corn that came with it was not over cooked and full of flavor with some basil leaves. Hope you would add king crab legs to your menu in the distant future. I was going to give four stars because I paid a lot for the disappointing snow crab (see the bill). but overall the other food and great service will have to make up for it. Just please - fix the snow crab problem. Change in heart - Decided to downgrade - to 4 stars read more

Visited the restaurant on 05/28/2025. We ordered the seafood comb meal and chicken wings. The seafood was so oily and salty. I couldn't eat it. The lung? Wings were super salty as well. In my opinion, MSG is written all over this place. read more

The customer service is outstanding ( surprisingly in a all you can eat restaurant) The seafood is delicious, a variety of salads, a large and delicious array of desserts. I am very choosing and I enjoy good customer service. I cannot find one thing wrong with this restaurant. Is a long way from my home, but the long drive on busy freeways is well deserved to my palate and my family. Can you tell how much I enjoy this restaurant? You will satisfy on your visit ( no! I got no pay or free meal with my review) read more

Is it hot in here or is it just me ?! My family and I went on a Friday night. So we thought it would be a little packed, But we got sat in 5mins. Our waiter was Sam and He did an amazing Job. He was so patience and helpful. We had a pretty big party it was 10 of us. He got everyone's order correct and explaining the promotion like it was nothing. Very attentive too. Hot house mix is probably my fave sauce!!! The calamari was delicious just the right spicy and crunch. Must try !!! Tofu was great. Loved the salty-nessss of it ! Lol Fried oysters was bomb!!!! Loved that! The food was great. Service was great but the only thing that bothered my family and I was the ventilation in the restaurant. Good Gosh. It was so hot in there. we were burning up. We were sweating while we were eating. Lol but other than it was amazing! read more

We found ourselves driving around looking for a place to have dinner after running into 3 hour wait times at several other establishments. After driving by Big Catch a couple of times we decided it was time to try it out. No wait time, we walked in less than an hour before closing and couldn't have been greeted by a more friendly host/server. Staff was attentive, friendly, had great recommendations, and did not appear annoyed at all by our late arrival. There were 4 of us, we shared the pounder which consisted of mussels, clams, shrimp, crawfish, snow crab, and lobster. The menu said it included scallops but we didn't find any in the mountain of seafood we received, but didn't notice until we left, there was more than enough food without it. We were able to select 2 free appetizers and selected the pound of peeled shrimp (omg so tasty!) and the Cajun wings, both were delicious! Our server suggested a combination of the lemon butter and lemon garlic sauces and it was the perfect combination for the meal. I'd never had crawfish and can't say it's my fave but, everything was delicious. The pounder included red potatoes, corn on the cob, and kielbasa. Guys, words can't express how delicious everything was. We left the restaurant more than satisfied, no complaints from anyone. If in Ontario, definitely plan a stop at the Big Catch Seafood House, you won't regret it! read more

Never been here before so this is my first time. We came here to gather with friends to throw a surprise birthday party for our friend. The restaurant is nice and clean inside. The staff is attentive to us. When you check in Yelp they give free Cajun fries do don't forget to do that. We had a party about 16 people and they are ok with dividing the check per couple which is convenient. They have daily happy hour special deals like if you you spend $60 you get 1 free item, spend $120 get 2 free items and lastly spend $180 get 3 free items. Overall food was delicious for the most part. The fish and chips was ok. I recommend this place if you looking for good seafood in the inland empire area.

My girlfriend and I were visiting Ontario California and happened to see this place across from the hotel. We decided to try it since we are seafood lovers! As we walked in, noticed the wooden tables with a white paper on top that was prepared for us. The decor was decent and fit the vibe. Since we were there during happy hour, they had certain food items that we were able to order at half price. For drinks, my girl had a Heineken Zero and I had the Arnold Palmer. The Arnold Palmer was on the money! Not too sweet and not too sour! For food, we ordered the grilled corn, two tacos (one shrimp and one fish), fried catfish, garlic bread, and their house made Cajun sauce. The corn was ok at best. They did boil it then grilled it with melted butter. Wish it had some Cajun seasoning. Their catfish was good. Fried very well and came with tartar sauce. Felt the batter on the catfish needed a little seasoning. However, their house made Cajun sauce saved it! It was incredible and definitely lifted the flavor profile. The tacos were really good! Nice and flavorful! The garlic bread was amazing! It had nice grilled marks with a good garlic flavor! We would try this again because of their Cajun sauce! read more

We got the half pan with the house seasoning (all 3 combined plus basil). Their spice isn't that spicy so go up a level. The food was good but once it gets cold it's not as good. I also don't feel like the half pan was worth the money. We decided that we would have rather ordered 2 lbs shrimp and then 1 lb clams or mussels. Overall good experience and would go back if I was in the area and craving this kind of food. read more

My dining partner and I shared a platter of peeled shrimp and crawfish. Glad we chose the mild seasoning, as it was tasty without the overwhelming cayenne spiciness. We started with the happy hour wings--the portion was kind of skimpy, though tasty--just the two-bone part with any drumettes. We added corn cobs to the boil, and the seasoning was perfect for them. We shared a bowl of white rice that was a good canvas for the sauce that was in our boil bag. In all, a good value with excellent service from Sarah. read more

Our server, Vivienne was so sweet and attentive! I like to come to this spot usually because I love the house mix and the freebies, but our waitress was just the best!!

Will def be back! read more

Me and my family went for dinner and it was not good. We got the pounder with the Cajun sauce. There was no flavor. Many empty mussel shells. And we ordered the garlic bread advertised as 6 pieces.
