Very good restaurant. Solid choice. Good chops, oysters rockefeller, turkey dinners on Sunday. Some pleasant surprises sprinkled about the menu. Good bread, soups and salads too. Service can be erratic and clannish. The seasoned wait staff usually go straight to the regulars or larger parties. The inexperienced wait staff get everyone else. They try hard. It can get loud in here as the open bar spills straight into the restaurant. Decor is Gar Wood nautical. Crowd is full of boaters and haggard Algonac locals...think deep wrinkles, blotchy skin, cigarette coughs, and the exchanging of muskrat recipes. read more

You can tell how good a restaurant is if you wish it were closer to your house. That and if you like it so much that you're going to make the drive to eat there anyway. That's how I'd describe Catch 22. This does not look like a cutting edge restaurant. It looks like the kind of restaurant your parents ate at in the 80s (and the kind I ate at in the 80s). That's not totally fair, because it does have a nautical charm that represents the community. But, of course, the food is what matters most. It starts right away with freshly baked bread (how many places since the 80s do that anymore?). It was served with a sweet butter, but they have no problem providing a regular butter. We were told the mushroom soup was good, but the waitress undersold it. It was rich and savory and flavorful, the kind of soup that makes you wish you were at home so you could lick the bowl. My wife was territorial about sharing her salmon, with good reason. This is a fishing community that prides itself on the quality of its seafood. I loved the flawless preparation of the sliver of salmon she reluctantly shared with me. I didn't mind because the ahi tuna was magical. I offered her some, but she was happy with her salmon. Her loss. I ordered it medium rare; I enjoy my tuna steak the way I enjoy my beef steak. And, this was a beautiful cut of tuna. It was encrusted in peppercorns and sesame seeds, giving it a little bite. Take that, Gordon Ramsay! I got it with a side of perfectly lumpy mashed potatoes, with robust dark gravy on the side. Combined with the tuna, it was a lot of food, but there was never any doubt I was going to eat every bit of it. I ordered a local brew, Anchor Bay Noble Mutt red ale. Not as malty as a typical red, which I enjoyed. It didn't interfere with the meal. The service was also very quick, and cheerfully rendered by our server. It's not cheap, but there's no way something that good should ever be cheap. We're already trying to figure out the next time we can come back here. read more

The food was excellent and the mushroom soup is to die for we just love the place even though it's 45 minutes away

Great perch dinner. Good portion and price. Salad and baked potato also good Service was great !! read more

Never had good experience there. Wouldn't split orders, and unfortunately to say staff was rude and uninterested unless you were with a party. Granted it's been awhile since I've been there but it's happened more than once read more

Awesome atmosphere and very good food. Wait staff did a great job at serves and I would recommend yourslef.

Best prime rib I've had. The location is kinda antiquated. Food is Amazon . Greek salad amazing. Owner operated.

I have eaten here a few times and haven't had a bad meal. The tables in the dining room are packed very closely. Hard to maneuver through for those in a wheelchair. read more

Was delicious but we waited a LONG time for our food. It was a whole back so I'm not sure about recent service times

Only snow crab no king crab not worth it! Not nasty but not the seafood restaurant I expected. Have more chicken and beef dishes than seafood! read more

Food always very good and I've come multiple times over the years. My last time here my server wasn't the best, messed up immediately on our drinks but, apparently she figured that out pretty quickly by my correction on one drink and the fact I snatched a lemon off my drink and threw it on the table. She did apologize but I cannot understand why a "no lemon" order which I'm very specific about comes with lemon in it. Ugh. Rest of service was fine. Being a former waitress years ago, we still tipped her 22%. If she hadn't had the initial screw up, she'd have gotten 30%. I will still be going back as this is the first time I've ever had an issue and in the scheme of things, it wasn't huge. read more

For the price, you can't beat this place. Best prime rib around, extremely reasonably priced. The shrimp Rockefeller is delicious. Calamari could be a bit better, cocktails could be better, and please turn down the damn lights. Place is lit up like a Denny's. That said, all-in-all, love their food, and happily return a few times a year. read more

Even short handed they were of good service AND nice personalities! The food is good - we will be back! Plus Sanders next door doesn't hurt. LOL BUT NEED A FEW DAYS then go back for the crème puff! They have inside seating! ‍ read more

Yes I'm giving this place the full rating. And im not grading on a curve! (Algonac is difficult to get to). I've been looking for a great steak house with reasonable prices and great portions that's a big cut above the Coney Island but considerably below fine dining. This is it!!! Best prime rib I have had in quite a while and everything we had was fantastic. I'm not an oyster guy and even those were great. I was so delightfully surprised by this place. It would be my go to if I lived anywhere close. If you are in the area good for it! read more

Wait staff was not up to par. Dropped forks and knives on floor and didn't even stop to pick them up. Very slow service, food was exh.

We had a great dinner here everyone loved their food. The service was very good and it's got like a nautical theme inside. I had the perch which was enormous I mean it was the biggest portion of perch I've ever seen. Most everyone else got perch too but my cousin got a hamburger which he really enjoyed. Wonderful place! read more

Not sure if ownership changed or the cook. We used to go in there all the time. We ordered fish and liver and onions. The fish was rubbery. The fries had no flavor and if you could imagine eating cardboard that would be what they were like. The portion of the liver was so small. It was equal in comparison to two strips of bacon for the $45 that it was the side sale. It was the best thing even their French onion soup sucked! Will never go there again and it is a shame. I've been going there for years. read more

My husband and I travel a good 40 minutes to have dinner here. Always great service and great food.

It's been a year and returning to dining out is a treat. Thank you,. Vaccine. I was concerned at the lack of masks among patrons and the fact that several staff people wore masks BELOW their noses. Sigh. If you know the culture and politics of the area it shouldn't be a surprise. So, once you have that vaccine, come on out. I had ribs today and they were juicy and falling off the bone. Amazing. And my wife had lobster. Also a treat. The beer we had was Two Hearted and from the tap. Their alcohol selection and prep is first class. The atmosphere remained comfortable and the service outstanding. If it weren't for the lack of masking, they would get another star from me. read more

Love the staff! Food comes out quick, salads are always so fresh and on a cold plate . I love the k-bang shrimp, perch and prime rib and stir fry! Would like to see the menu updated and the crock of French onion still needs some work . But a solid choice for dining! read more

The food is delicious & the service is excellent . The restaurant is clean which is important to me.

Carry out order served fresh and hot! Had a cuban sandwich, grilled perfectly with gouda pulled pork and ham, topped with hot peppers and pickles with mustard sauce...so good...steak fries cooked perfect. The coleslaw was fresh and delish! French onion soup with creamy cheese has a nice meaty base filled with flavor and thick chunk onions. Fantastic!! Chef was on point. read more

Wanted to truly give this a good review but I guess I was wrong. First time for my wife and I and was not impressed at all. She ordered the Maurice Salad. Two stars for the salad cuz she loved it. I ordered the Mess of Perch Entree and the perch to be pan fried. My choice of a side was the French Onion Soup. It was terrible. We could not figure what type of horrible cheese was on top. I sent it back ad got a bowl of lettuce for my side salad. The perch was even worse. No taste and was very rubbery and watery. Best thing I had was the baked potato! Waitress was just ok. Sorry we will not be back. read more

Looking for a decent lunch, we dropped by Catch 22. We were quickly greeted and seated. It has welcoming local feel and décor. All the food was well prepared and very tasty. We had the fish & chips, perch piccata, and Cajun turkey club. We'll be back to try more dishes. read more

I thought I had reviewed this in the past. Guess not. Based on the interior I would say the bar dates to the 1960's. Somewhat limited draft beer but a good bottled selection. I've eaten there several times, never had a bad meal. Does tend to be an older clientele (and by older I mean older than my 58 years). The bar is decorated with Criss Craft boat swag and parts. Before Criss Craft moved to Florida it made its boats in Algonac Michigan. I took no pictures as I thought I had reviewed this place before. read more

Was a nice place to have a meal with my wife at!! The food was pretty good as well. Best near here for sure.

Great menu of pasta dishes and Italian dishes. All of the food being served looked good. The flaming cheese appetizer is a must get. All four of the entree dishes were very good. The wait staff were friendly. A solid place to eat. The place was packed with locals. read more

It is a very good and fresh sea food and steak house with a very good Selection some of the appetizers are very good like the calamari and oyster Rockefeller read more

So. So. So. Oily. I literally POURED the oil/butter from my pasta onto a side plate and it was still swimming in it. Disgusting. Never again

Great food and atmosphere! They did an awesome job of making the Maurice salad taste almost as good as Hudson's! We'll go back again. The waitress was very attentive too. read more

Hubby and I stopped in here randomly one evening in the summer. It's near the water in Algonac and the drive alone is beautiful. It resembles a boat inside. Lots of wood. Big tables and bar seating. We each had a special and our service was fabulous. She took time to make sure I knew how they would prepare the ahi tuna I ordered and kept drinks full. Salad was fresh with a large slice of cucumber, grape tomatoes and delicious ranch. We came back this past Sunday with our daughter and my parents and had another excellent visit. My dad was impressed with the large portions. My daughter said her fettuccini was the best she's ever had. I tried it and it was SO good! I was so torn on what to get and ended up with the jumbo shrimp scampi. It was very good! Loved the butter sauce and their cocktail sauce was also good. They give you a big chunk of broccoli when ordered as a side. They serve the shrimp with an open face-type tomato with melted cheese. Now, I'm not a tomato person to begin with, but it was a big odd. Hubby tried it and said it tasted like pizza. Idk. Haha! Mom had fish and chips... very good batter, thick and not soggy and steak fries. Hubby got the pork chops. He loved it. Service was stellar, once again, as well. We will continue to come back! Highly recommend! read more

Food and service was great. Decor is beautiful. On the negative side, no carrot cake.

Great food, as always! We had the spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer and it was great. I ordered the Cobb Salad with Ranch dressing and Jim got the Bistro Steak, wrapped with bacon. Everything was yummy and served quickly. We always have good service and terrific food here. If you have not yet experienced this restaurant, check it out! read more

It has very bad service and the people that serve ur food just walk right pass you when u ask them for something

This is a lovely place, decorated with local boat historical items. Food is varied and good quality. It is maybe a little overpriced. Usually, it is tasty. read more

Catch 22 We had dinner at Catch 22 on Saturday night, as we do at least one time per week.This is definitely not an inexpensive restaurant, but the food is usually good and I like supporting local businesses. I ordered salmon that was served on spinach, but the special was salmon with honey almond glaze, I asked for that to be put on mine as well, I knew there would be an up charge. When we recieved the bill we had been charged for the higher price dish plus a side of spinach making the price right around $21 from $17. I asked the manager about this and he offhandedly said this is the way it is and walked away, the $5 is not going to change my life, but I felt taken advantage of and dismissed. I guess they do not need my business, but $5 for spinach is way out of line. The manager needs to learn some people skills, as well as math skills to be willing to lose $200-300 worth of business a month over spinach, the food is not good,I will not be back. I should have been charged got the spinach only, but not the higher price dish as well. Do the math again it came out to $5 dollars more. read more

Food was cold Beer was warm The placed smelled funny. You don't see my Self going back read more

The perch had me coming back a second time. French Onion soup was delish as well. Much better experience than what I had after I trying the competition across the street. Next time I'll stick with the reviews vs friend's recommendation. Fantastic food! read more
