    Oyster Menu
    Emily B.

    Loved everything about this place! The location is awesome. Great place to walk around. Staff is friendly! It feels very local. My waiter knew the Oyster farms on the menu. The seafood stew is the best I've had and seafood stew is a favorite! I've tried it at many restaurants. Glad I went! I enjoyed the entire experience and every bite of my meal!

    Was in the area for a little hike and wanted seafood for a late lunch. It's a cozy restaurant on the main strip in Patchogue. About 10 people there when we walked in about 2 pm. Mike the bartender, waiter, bus boy - do it all was great. Helped with the beer, oysters and calamari selection. Everything was on point. There are probably lines down the block during the peak season. Must do if you're in town!

    What a great little restaurant! Others have described it as a hidden gem and I can see why. The coastal decor is very welcoming and comfortable; there are a number of standalone tables and plenty of seats at the bar, which was crowded when we arrived Our waitress, Janine, was a sweetheart - super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations on the oysters from the menu. We opted for Fire Island Blues and Lucky 13. They were both delicious and super, super fresh. I have to say out of all the food we ate, the oysters were our favorite. We also ordered the baked clams, sesame crusted tuna, and fried calamari . We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and I can't wait to get back for more of those fresh oysters and delicious and tasty baked clams. If you haven't checked out this place yet, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Love this spot. We've been here 4 times and the food is always on point. It's tiny, so you may wait for a table (there's 2 regular sized and 2-3 two seater bar height tables) or you can eat at the bar. The fish tacos here are amazing, the apps are always great too (tuna nachos, Sicilian calamari, etc). It's truly a hidden gem and a go to spot for good fish and a relaxed environment.

    Unbelievable meal every time! Service and the people are like family Small place looks busy but moves quickly so I grab a drink at bar and get a table in no time. Food is so fresh, new specials weekly consistently the best food I've ever eaten Must try!

    This cute little oyster bar on a side street in Patchogue has amazing food. Great chowder, shrimp cocktail and Po' Boys. Service was great too. Can't wait to go back!

    Our family (first time with kids) night out at Catch Oyster Bar!!!!

    Catch has been our favorite local date-night option in what seems like forever. So last night, for the first time, we had no babysitter and took the little ones. Didn't change a thing. The food and vibe at this local seafood bar right off Main Street is outstanding. Same goes for the service, as we have also done take-out from here many times. Last night as our usual to start, two dozen fresh and chill as they come, oysters (skinny magherita was so clean and fresh) We divided up the 24 into four 6-packs from different locales. We usually spend a few minutes discussing what one go better with mignonette or cocktail sauce. Of course, squeeze of lemon never hurts as is protocol. My wife and son both had the blacked salmon, one over a crispy Caesar and one over mixed veggies. Even though it was blackened crispy on the outside, the inside was juicy and done to perfection. For myself, I love a good chicken Francese, so when I saw a special "striped bass francese", I politely put the menu down. Over mashed potatoes and mixed veggies, this was a home run. Excuse me...a grand slam. I could eat that for dinner 7 nights a week and never get tired. We have so much confidence in this joint that we know we can order whatever we want and it's always done perfect. Last outting here we came especially for their soft shell crab sandwich and it was such a treat. I can't recommend this place enough. Can't wait to get back, and it's a gem.

    First time here and I love this place! I sat at the bar with my friend and we ordered a couple of oysters and we had a lobster roll and filthy martinis. The service was OK. I loved the Caribbean music that they played. I would come back the oysters they had a lot of different types of oysters. They had fresh and salty and briney options for the oysters. check them out!

    Looking for a local joint that defines fresh catch from local(& some a little further) waters? Seafood prepared consistently very well then this is it!!! The cocktails and selection of ale/stouts are impressive too! If you're a fan of raw oysters(or cooked) it'll be difficult to go anywhere else after indulging here! Don't be surprised if you have to wait for a seat. It's not a big place, but certainly worth it!

    Fried Calamari
    Jessica B.

    I had the opportunity to check out Catch on a Sunday afternoon. The place is on the smaller side, if I wasn't specifically looking for some where to have fresh oysters, I would have likely walked right past it. But for a small joint, it packs a big punch! We ordered a dozen fresh oysters and their fried calamari - both of which were excellent. Since it's on the smaller side, there's limited seating but we were fortunate to grab a seat at a high top right away. The service was quick and our server was friendly. This is a great place to have fresh oysters, a cold beer and watch the game. I can't wait to go back!

    A half dozen to start.

All drinks standard or fancy come out cold and tasty to accompany that barside snack or full lunch/dinner meal. Servers don fun T-shirts with catchy sayings buzzing around smiling serving it up. Everytime I have dined here they have been very attentive, sometimes overly, but in good spirits just making sure you have everything you wanted and needed, on top of keeping things neat/clean. This outing was for my Mr's Birthday, so appetizer, entrées and dessert. We started with the Crab Spinach and Artichoke dip with chips as we waited for entrée selections. It was served up creamy in a bread bowl stuffed with crab, spinach and artichoke, super tasty and great start. The Mr ordered up the Crab Stuffed Lobster Tail with a bechamel sauce. Noted the flavors were good, but next time would order bechamel sauce on side so there was more control of it not overwhelming the fresh protein with every initial bite. Mentioned the Roasted Potatoes and Corn that accompanied it were nicely cooked and not overly seasoned. Personally opted to double down on the crab side of things and snagged myself one of their Crab cake sandwiches on a pretzel roll. With each bite you knew the crab cake was freshly made not a frozen premade puck. It easily smashed down quickly with each bite, with good fresh crab flavor, not just breadcrumbs, like you might experience elsewhere ;) Also noted their pretzel bun was soft, airy with good classic pretzel flavor without the hard/tough exterior crunch. Noting that in the past I have also ordered up their fresh Tuna Steak entrée which is also a delicious entrée option. Finished off the meal with a menu fan favorite Chocolate Lava Cake, as my Mr is always hoping for it to truly lava out. Will say Harbor Crab definitely has come the closest in sense of it sorta flowing out when cut into. I assured the birthday boy that he should know the texture, taste were indeed on point, even if it didn't fully lava out ;) All in all another great dining experience at this location as the quality of fresh seafood offerings, service, live music ambiance and atmosphere are on point. Totally understand why this has been a fan favorite for my Mr and others for years. Would highly recommend a visit to any seafood lover.

When we were waiting to check in the party in front of us had a reservation and was still told there would be a 20 minute wait. They were understandably frustrated and even questioned the point of having a reservation. When I checked in, they couldn't even find the OpenTable reservation. So we just waited but they did apologize for the wait. The service was very slow and inattentive from the moment we were seated. It took forever to order appetizers, drinks, and entrees. Our waiter rarely checked in on us, and I'm not sure if he was just extremely busy, but most of the time we didn't even see him. After waiting a very long time with empty glasses, I finally was able to ask the waiter for water refills and drinks (2 glasses of wine & 2 cokes). The drinks ended up taking so long to arrive as well. When the food finally arrived, it wasn't worth the wait. The Chicken Parmesan was the worst I've ever had, and the Chicken Francese and Clams Casino were nothing special. The grilled octopus was the one standout and was really good. The place looks nice, but the food is overpriced, the service was poor, and the overall experience was so disappointing that we didn't even want to risk ordering dessert. Definitely won't be going back.
