We ordered raw oysters, fish and chips, chicken tenders, and fresh-sliced tomatoes. Everything was fantastic, and the service was excellent from start to finish. You can really tell they care about both the food and the experience. I completely forgot to take pictures of our food because we were too busy enjoying it! Ketch is definitely a new go-to for us when we're visiting UK's campus, which is just a short drive away. We'll absolutely be back!

Packed Friday night crowd for a restaurant that's been open about 40 years. Good signs so far…read more Quickly seated although thought there was going to be a 15 minute wait, which would have been fine. Multiple specials from drinks to appetizers, dinners, and desserts. Atmosphere was quite loud due to the acoustics and everything is hard surfaces. Including chairs. I like a comfortable chair instead of the 'we're going to make it so hard you won't out stay your welcome'. Service was very good and prices equally reasonable especially for the amount of food served. We weren't starving, but had a full to-go box between our two meals. The food was in the average category even though everything was well prepared and presented. (Hot/fresh). Just not a lot of flavor. Hush puppies decent but not much taste. Coconut fried shrimp about the same. Had to use the dipping sauce for flavor. Fries are fries. Cheese grits not very tasty and were bland sprinkled with a little cheese. Thicker than mortar! Key lime pie was excellent despite I'm not sure if they used key limes. Appears homemade with some actual zest on top. Although not 'limey' enough, good crust and custard base. Atmosphere-3. Food-3. Service-4. Value-4. I'd go back and probably try less fried food. Could be they haven't changed the oil frequently enough.

I started doing my reviews in this order: The Appeal…read moreThe Bad (?) The Good I consider myself some what of a seafood boil "snob" being that I lived in Las Vegas around some of the best restaurants in the world and have had seafood all over the country. There isn't any seafood in the small town I live in so every time I go out of town for work I stop to get seafood. The appeal of the Storming Crab: this place is located just down from the Fayette Mall which use to be a booming shopping center. The restaurant has a HUGE Fiberglass Crab on the outside of the building and hip graffiti painting outside. Inside the restaurant reminds you of being on a ship if it was autographed by everyone you know. The host was nice and so was my server who was super sweet. The Bad (?): I had been here a few times before and remember being disappointed because of the butter reminded me of the jug of melted popcorn butter instead of real melted butter. - However this time it didn't taste that way so I'm not sure if they changed it but it really won me back as a customer. The Good: Something I did find today that I have never found before is their seafood bread! I don't know what kind of witchcraft it is but it is one of the best things I've had. Think cheddar bay biscuits x100! Overall the Storming Crab is a solid choice. As someone who is a seafood person, if you get a boil, and know how to peel seafood, get the head ON shrimp vs. the head off- it should be fresher and more meat.

But the food was so good! I had been there once before, shortly after opening, and thought it was so-so. But the 2nd visit was a much better experience. Since we had a large group, we sampled each other's dishes and everything was delicious. The burrata appetizer was really good. I had the "make me something sweet" mocktail and it was pretty and tasted refreshing. Our server was top notch and explained every dish on the menu, and gave us recommendations. He really took his time with us, and you could tell he was a pro. More excited to return after this second visit than after the first! 11/26

First off, wait staff was very nice. Drinks from the bar were okay, definitely not the worst…read morechocolate martini I've ever had but definitely not the best. For our appetizer, we had the beef tartare, it was also just okay. We didn't even finish half of it. The star of the dish was the rye crisp, unfortunately. For our entree we had the baked rigatoni and the pork tenderloin. The pork tenderloin dish was delicious and so was the rigatoni. That was a plus. It was extremely loud in the restaurant. Be prepared to yell at your table partner. Between the amount of people talking loudly (I assume to attempt to talk over the loud music) and the music, and being seated really near other people, having a conversation was difficult. So don't go with anyone who is hard of hearing with background noise (my husband lol). Food took a little longer than what I'd prefer to come out. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and decorations were cute.

This place is a must for anyone local if you haven't been, and if you're not local, it's seriously worth the trip! There are so many great things I can say about OBC, the service is phenomenal; professional, amazing recommendations, and they go out of their way to give you an unforgettable experience! Their bourbon selection is fantastic; they're guaranteed to have everything you'd want and even some things you haven't tried or been able to find anywhere else. The food is on another level! Starting with with bacon in the glass for the table is a must! This gives you a taste of the quality to come and the peanut butter accompaniment that comes with it works so well! The depth of flavor in the Cola-Braised Short Rib Tacos is unreal & even their rolls are amazing! The Ribeye is cooked to your exact liking; is a very high quality cut, and has a delicious seasoning which is the differentiator for me that makes this one of my favorite steaks I've had in a very long time! I could go on & on, but you need to experience it for yourself!

Asian/Cajun/Seafood?…read more My daughter has been on an "oysters on the half shell" kick So we ended up at this unusual restaurant. There were only a few people there for lunch but a seafood boil isn't exactly lunch fare. Based on the number of cars in e parking lot, I had concerns. The restaurant Atmosphere is pure Tally Ho nautical and seating was very comfortable. Service was okay. Employees were doing too many separate tasks to effectively wait on tables. Even with the few number of people that were there, it was a struggle. So we ordered the crab cakes as our starter. They were incredibly delicious. My daughter said she would rank them second behind Heirloom in Midway. If you've ever been to heirloom, you know that this is a huge compliment. I felt for the price, they could have been larger, but still delightful. My daughter ordered the huge tray of fresh oysters which she said were very good, better than a lot of other places. I ordered the dungeoness crab, which came in a large bowl filled with a bunch of garlic butter sauce. I had ordered it medium spicy and it was inferno hot, lol! Next time I will definitely order the sauce on the side because trying to handle the crab legs when they had oil dumped all over them was quite a challenge. But they do provide all the necessary ecoutraments for seafood; crackers, pickers, bibs, and gloves. I thought having the hole in the middle of the table to put all of the shells and other trash in was genius! The crab legs came with red potatoes, a small piece of corn and an egg. I'm guessing the egg is an Asian addition? I'm not sure. The corn on the cob was delicious with the spicy sauce on it. My daughter ate the egg and said it was good. I'm not a red potato fan so I did not try them. Our drinks were good and well-made. The menu is 75% seafood and 25% wings. Not to mention a few Asian dishes as well. It's quite a different take on seafood with the array of sauce options and several different heat levels for each sauce. Overall, we were both very pleased with our meal and we will definitely be back. Price wise, I thought the pricing was high, but for a special occasion, this would be a delicious choice!

He recommended a cocktail for my boyfriend who loved it and he also made recommendations regarding the menu options. We opted for gator bites which were great, along with a generous portion of wings which were amazing. Really the star of the show was Stewie, he and my boyfriend discussed music and singer preferences from way back in the past to present times - who doesn't love Whitney?!?! Anyway, he took amazing care of us weary travelers and kept us giggling with his razor sharp wit - what a breath of fresh air! Stewie is such a valuable asset to this establishment, I hope they realize they have a true gem in him. Stewie we love you and hope to come back to visit you again! Highly recommend!

The sugar daddy is like a regular taco with ground beef except it's stuffed more than a taco from say Taco Bell. The big thumper is made with kangaroo meat and has some Mexican corn and a Mac n cheese donut. Both taco's were filled with plenty toppings. Was so big that it was messy while eating, had to end up using a fork. But I loved both taco's, each had a great flavor and I loved how stuffed they were. The establishment was very clean and our waitress was so friendly and helpful. Pricing was a little on the expensive side, the big thumper cost $13 just itself. That's not counting the other taco plus a drink. That ended up being all I ordered due to the pricing.

I was excited to try Agave and Rye, but left a bit disappointed. Our server was Brianne, she was…read morekind, but I don't believe she knew anything about gluten free but figured the chef did. I was wrong. The crispy chicken salad has GFA- gluten free available next to the item. It came out crispy. I asked for her to check with the chef that it was indeed gluten free she came back and said that he just used panko (bread crumbs). He said he would remake it, but this time no bread crumbs or bacon. They need to let you know in advance how the GF meal will be different. My meal took longer and I am sure they are unaware of what has gluten. I would not recommend. Also not apologetic about it or willing to have a conversation assuring me and they weren't busy at all. 2 other tables one was at the bar.
