I always look forward to coming here for some great seafood anytime I am in town visiting. The blackened scallop tacos are the BOOMB!!

Stopped in for a quick bite. This hidden gem has the best conch I have had. The fried seafood platter was delicious & the chowder was very tasty. The restaurant inside casual and cozy nautical look. Love it very relaxing. Elaine was our waitress what a kind and gentle lady she made us feel right at home. Cannot wait to visit again! read more

Fresh Catch Seafood Grill - Fish sandwich was wonderful - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

Our first visit to Fresh Catch. Came for the live entertainment, but equally enjoyed the pleasant service by Haley. I was pleased with my Grilled Tilapia, mashed potatoes and veggies. Also at our table was the tasty shrimp scampi and a fresh and tasty beet salad. I am sure we will be back. read more

Fresh Catch Seafood Grill - Grilled Tilapia, mashed potatoes and veggies. - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

Our service was the worst! We took our friends here and waited and waited once we were seated. They brought our appetizers and some drinks. My husband asked for a refill on his ice tea three times and finally got right as we were ready to leave after two hours. Our food came out first two plates and 45 minutes later two more plates and we never did receive the correct sides. We spoke to the manager and she said we got our food so basically we should be happy. I certainly don't recommend! read more

Outstanding Fresh Seafood w/ Outstanding service! The Fresh Catch is a prize to Stuart FL with our a doubt. The owners said that they wanted to prove that a seafood restaurant in Florida could provide Fresh Seafood, and they certainly have! Their preparation is just the way you want it; fried, grilled, blackened, whichever way you like it that's the way you get it. Their coleslaw is now one of my favorites as well! Do yourself a favor... Eat at Fresh Catch, in Stuart FL sooner than later! read more

Went here last night 10102020. Was not impressed and left with a plan to never come back. My wife ordered chicken parm that arrived with a nice portion on spaghetti and maybe a tablespoon of sauce. The chicken itself was very bland with large tendons running thru the meat , i ordered blackend mahi and asked the server if they blacken both sides not every place does this... she said absolutely... my plate arrive with one side blackend a small scoop of mashed potatoes and a small serving of vegetables the plate was all very small for dinner and the fish was blackend on 1 side, found it all not good and extremely over priced. I don't recomend this place and feel they far over charge for very little with crap quality. read more

I should have left when I saw the plastic fish on display in the cooler! The only thing being served fresh are the french fries.If your looking for fresh seafood find another spot. read more

From the minute you are seated this place is outstanding. Our server David was the highlight of our service, he exceeded expectations. We had an oyster shooter and drinks, my husband ordered the golden tilefish, cooked perfectly, I had a crabcake, both were fresh and delightful. We listened on the patio to the outstanding entertainment and had a white vanilla, berry creme brulee which was perfect. (See pic) I travel the US and visit Stuart twice a year, won't miss this place again ! read more

Fresh Catch Seafood Grill - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

Came here today & I am beyond disappointed. My fiancé and I came to have lunch before we went out shopping as we just relocated here from Western NY. Our server, Marlene, was friendly and trying but SO beyond unorganized & unprofessional. She shouted through out the restaurant how she's the only one here & she's up to her eyeballs... let me just remind everyone, she only had 4 tables. Let's start from the beginning: We ordered a Pina Colada & Strawberry Daiquiri. The server asked us if we wanted to add "floaters". We said sure thing! A couple minutes later she comes by with the drinks. brings the daiquiri (which looked like sloppy juice nothing frozen about this??) & my pina colada which was overflowing and fizzing. She trailed this through out the entire restaurant to where someone could have slipped and fell. As a bartender, that is completely unprofessional AND not to mention- extremely dangerous had someone slipped and fell on the liquid through half of the restaurant. She then proceeded to put that on my table. So the fizzing mess got all over everything. Didn't bother to wipe it off, nothing. Point is- that drink should have NEVER been served to our table in that condition. Fast forward to our order- I ask her what the reviews were of the crab cake sandwich. She went on about how wonderful they are & how many people love it. It was DISGUSTING. the bacon was BURNT, the sandwich was super fishy smelling. Just completely & utterly blown away. My fiancé got the fresh catch of the day- that was very good. Long story short, this place today let me down. My $100 bill was a slap in the face & almost comical from the service we received. Probably won't be coming back ‍ read more

Really a nice place. The food is good quality and the service has always been friendly, courteous and efficient. We just visited last week on a Wednesday night. The restaurant was busy early in the evening then thinned out. The ambience is good, the space is big, but it has an odd layout. Not a negative though. Food was very fresh - in keeping with the name! The iceberg wedge was terrific! Very large portion, good for two people to split. I had the blackened grouper for entree, preparation was on point, accompanied with vegetables, very tasty. Special requests were accommodated with no issues. Drinks were good, nice size beer menu with good pricing. Wines selection is good. Good food and service - has always been consistent. read more

food was awesome. Customer service was amazing just all-around great experience. Would definitely recommend anybody visiting Stuart Florida

To go order the told me an hour. I went to pick it up in 45 minutes and it was sitting a bag on the counter. Cold whenI got home literally next door at an assisted living. Food was Luke warm but still tasty read more

The seafood is phenomenal! 100% fresh. Pictured is their grilled shrimp taco, great size for price. There is about 4-5 pieces of shrimp per taco. Also pictured is their house salad with the house dressing. Very light and fresh lunch option! Will be coming back on our next visit to Stuart read more

Fresh Catch Seafood Grill - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

So i will start by saying we say at the bar. The bartender, Tucci, was awesome, so funny. He even was so great to me regarding the Patriots winning AFC, being frim boston that was huge!!, his personality was wonderful and the food was just as wonderful. We had the firecracker shrimp and the raw oysters as an appetizer they were excellent. Then we had adinner of a shrimp and mussel combination I can't remember the name over pasta I think it might have been called Seafood Pot it was so good. Every dish was eaten completely, nothing left over. I would highly recommend people going there and if they want to interact sit at the bar and meet the wonderful bartenders. If not just go and enjoy the food, read more

It used to be one of our weekly "go-to" places if our other favorites were too busy during season. The food used to be great, especially the shrimp appetizer and the fish and chips. We won't be back ever since the owner, Eric I believe is his name (who did, not sure if he has since gotten help) had a drinking problem and sat at the bar many nights drinking. Service and food quality went downhill. He came to our table once to inquire as to how everything is, surprisingly. My husband started to tell him about one small little thing that wasn't right and I started to nicely interject a sentence....the owner, Eric (obviously over-served) looked at me and told me to "shut the fuck up!". Well, needless to say, we haven't been back since. That was about a year to a year and a half ago. I didn't write the review sooner because, well.....just because! NUFF SAID!! read more

Probably the worst overall of anyplace we've been in years. Disappointing the first time in 2017 and even worse now.! Ceviche was passable, drinks watered down and noise make having a conversation at dinner impossible. Waiter was the one saving grace. read more

Fresh Catch has the best happy hour! The firecracker shrimp is fresh and crispy, and you get a good portion for the price. The $5 cosmos and appletinis are also a favorite. For dinner, the fish and chips plate never disappoints. We have always experienced friendly and attentive service, and from what we have seen, the restaurant is doing a good job of following Covid guidance! read more

Our first time here and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The only thing better than the food was the service. Our server Tucci was very personable, knowledgeable and gave us excellent service. From the Bahamian cracked conch, to the fresh oysters to the Seafood Pot and the special bacon wrapped scallops, all his recommendations were excellent. Tucci was gracious to bring us their homemade habanero sauce which completely elevated our dinner. We will surely be back. read more

Great fresh fish and amazing conch salad. Shrimp is fresh and crisp and oh-so-good! Super nice Happy Hour with great appetizers and a killer Key Lime Martini. Doing a good job of social distancing, especially on open air patio! Live music, too! read more

Great, friendly service at this seafood restaurant. Our server Alex was knowledgeable and pleasant, with excellent recommendations. Reasonable prices on the menu; my husband and I had a nice dinner for a decent price. The soups are homemade, and the seafood is fresh. The food was good but not great. I would try this place again to give it a chance to get 5 stars. read more

Fresh Catch Seafood Grill - Ceviche with housemade tortilla chips - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

I've never had a bad experience at Fresh Catch. The staff, especially the bartenders, are always very friendly, engaging with all the customers every few minutes. The Fresh Catch is always fresh, as they filet all the fish themselves in the kitchen. Their fried seafood is the best in town, always lightly breaded and fried perfectly. The shrimp and calamari can't be beaten. I typically eat inside, but most of their musical entertainment on the patio is great. Fresh Catch is always a good place for a good time. read more

This is a neighborhood gem in a small residential place in Stuart. I have been coming here for years and every time I come back, it's still as wonderful as I've remembered it. I came here when making a bit stop to Stuart (where I've been born and raised--even same condo) on our way to Miami for a wedding. I had their crab cake appetizer paired with their special: shrimp and corn chowder. I've had quite a few crab cakes from different places, and this one measures up to other fine restaurants I've gone to. What set this one apart was the size: it was nice and big, all lump crab meat with very little filler, sitting atop of a bed of spring greens. It was garnished with what I believe to be some chipotle mayo. The crab cake was tender soft, well seasoned, and I ate it mixed with the greens and the mayo. I really enjoyed the soup too! It had a generous portion of shrimp, corn, and potatoes in it, and was swimming in a spicy broth. I regret a little not getting a bowl, because the cup was so small. On my second visit, I had their signature salad topped with seared ahi tuna. The salad was fresh colorful, and tasty with the soy vinaigrette. I love salad and consider it a staple of my diet, but this particular salad I found myself scarfing down. The seared ahi tuna really made this salad a shining star (you gotta ask to add it). It was the first time I've had ahi, so I was really in for a treat. Outside seared and seasoned, inside tender and juicy. For some reason, the taste and consistency reminded me of ham. Regardless, restaurants lives up to its name and not to be missed when in Stuart! read more

Really good food. Waiter was awesome not pushy but we never needed to look and flag him down. Familiar with menu and happy to give good recommendations. Really nice patio and lovely indoor dining. read more

Fresh Catch is a local gem. They have the BEST fish tacos in town. The servers are friendly, personable, and work hard. Stefanie the bartender is amazing. We're regulars and come at least once a week. The food is delicious and it's a friendly, fun atmosphere. Some of my favorites are the conch fritters, ahi tuna nachos, shrimp and corn chowder, the cole slaw, and any of the fish tacos, shrimp tacos, or scallops tacos. I highly recommend Fresh Catch. read more

Have not been here in awhile due to long wait times to get a seat. Finally no wait tonight. There prices have gone up there now more expensive then most places to get grouper at. Portion size smaller. Server acted like it was a inconvenience to have to refill drinks due to her boot on her foot. Also had the order was wrong and tried to charge me for a extra portion of fries because instead of the food runner taking the plate back she left it so I could eat the grouper. " so she had to change me 5 dollars for sweet fries because they brought the regular fries out and could not use them" Just a unprofessional experience will definitely go else where for seafood. read more

Omg! Unreal.. that the third time I've been in 2 years giving it another try. Bartenders took several minutes to acknowledge us for a drink.... Then never did for food! So we were out out of there. Going somewhere that always does! read more

Great atmosphere and wonderful fresh seafood our table had the Bahamian cracked conch, ceviche which was so delicious, The best lobster macaroni I think I've ever had, tuna nachos with their own little twist, and my favorite the fresh golden tile fish cooked Piccata style, we will definitely be back! read more

Fresh Catch Seafood Grill - Fresh catch of the day triple tail - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

Was looking forward to the seafood pot dish. The seafood was fresh, the flavor was lacking. Described as butter, garlic, and tomatoes. In actuality it was canned tomatoes and very little garlic. No butter. Could have been so much more favorful. Cannot recommend. read more

This place is amazing!! BEST hush puppies around! Service is great and the atmosphere is very inviting and clean. Highly recommend!!

Needless with the rating, I was a bit disappointed. During Covid-19 pandemic when only take out was available, I took advantage of this for a little break. I ordered a standard menu item, Fried oyster sandwich with cole slaw on the side. The oysters were fishy, the bread was cold, and the slaw was runny. I was really caught off guard. The foodie I am, I was expecting the bread to be warm and toasted with fresh fried oysters and a creamy slaw to put on top of the oysters. Sounds great, right? With the first bite, I knew it wasn't the way it could had been and had to pick it apart just to eat it. I didn't really enjoy this meal at all. I will probably not return because of this. read more

We went back twice in a week. We were trying to support a local business until we were taken advantage of. The food is okay. Really nothing out of this world. We wanted a cupcake so I gave my fiancé $20 dollars. When he came back to the table he returned with about .80 cents. I asked him where the rest of the money was and he said the woman (older dark haired, somewhat resembles a gypsy) told him he had given her a $5, which is not true. We all knew it. When he confronted her she denied it. Hence, I walked up and explained that my bill had been folded, when I asked her to take out the last $20 in her register sure enough. It was my bill! It was only until I appeared upset that she gave me $15 back. I feel as though this individual may have tried this trick before and attempted it on the wrong person. If you do go in to eat here, please make sure to check your change and beware of this trick! read more

There aren't a lot of casual, local eateries for a sit-down dinner in the Stuart area, but we were definitely A-OK with our visit to Fresh Catch, so if you're in the mood for non-chain eating, with plenty of seafood, in a casual ambiance with reasonable prices, Fresh Catch is sure to hit the spot. I dined out on their nice, relaxing outdoor patio with a group of 12, and while we weren't a rowdy group, we were a hungry and thirsty group, and our waitress did a great job juggling our requests for beverage refills, extra sauces, etc., all while retaining her sense of humor. I was pleasantly surprised with the mojito, although it was a bit heavy on the soda water. The beer drinkers in the group were happy with the beer selections on draught and bottled, so no complaints there. In typical fashion for this group, we ordered just about one of every appetizer item on the menu. I don't recall anything particularly outstanding; both the conch fritters and hush puppies were so fried that it was hard to tell the difference between them. The Wahoo Fish Dip was pretty good, however. There's a huge selection of food on the dinner menu, definitely suitable for any palate. I was impressed at how much serious non-seafood items were available, while still dedicating sections of the menu to the sea-faring items. Although I was tempted to go for fish tacos or a shrimp burrito, I opted for the fresh catch of the day to keep it local and to see if Fresh Catch could live up to their name! Turns out the catch, hogfish or black grouper I believe, was a fish I had never had before, so I had it grilled, and the waitress was nice enough to give me a double portion of steamed veggies as opposed to mashed potatoes and veggies. One of my dining companions raved and raved over their Seafood Pot, and everyone seemed to enjoy their entrees. The most memorable aspect about my visit to Fresh Catch was their homemade habanero-based hot sauce that isn't on their menu, but was brought to me with a wink (and a warning) when I asked for hot sauce. Clearly they didn't know I am the Spice Fiend, and while the sauce was tasty and packed some heat, it didn't necessitate the warning that came with it :-) read more

Fresh Catch Seafood Grill - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

I held a business lunch here as a first time visitor. We were seated promptly, service and food was fine. My only issue is the fact that the waitress decided to slide an additional $5 tip onto the final bill. Soured an overall decent experience. read more

Maybe staying in FL over Christmas and going to different restaurants has spoiled me, but I wasn't too impressed with this place. We noticed the staff playing football in the front of the restaurant as we walked in. I got a bad feeling, and we even joked that if we didn't like the food we would leave after appetizers. Maybe we should have stuck by that.... I also saw a sign when we got there that the name had recently been changed. Not a good sign. That's a move you see on reality food TV when an establishment wants to distance itself from the previous name for bad service/food/something else not so positive. Hmmm. Well, onto the food. First off, the iced tea was weak. Not sure if they didn't properly brew it or added water to stretch the batch. It was $2.50 to substitute sweet potato fries for the mashed potatoes! Most retaurants charge $1 for that type of thing. I felt like their substitution charge was steep. The dinner selection small, I felt like there wasn't much to choose from. And the place was kind of empty at 5pm. As for the appetizers, the calamari was good. The marinara was canned with added herbs. Pounded conch was good, I liked sauce with it. All 4 entree plates were ice cold. Culinary 101: if you heat the plates, the hot food you put on the plates will stay hot longer. The mashed potatoes were just meh, nothing to write home about. The vegetables were under seasoned, green beans were fresh but undercooked. My cobia was overcooked, I thought since the piece was thin...but my boyfriend's thicker piece was overcooked also. The fish itself was also under seasoned. It was grilled and didn't have any sort of accompanying sauce. Bland and disappointing. Salad or bread doesn't come with meal either. Service was standard, but she didn't notice two sets silverware were missing from our 4-person booth. Since it was empty I just took two sets from a nearby table. The music was modern hits and 90s rap. The place is cavernous, everything echoes. I can only imagine how loud it gets with more than one table there. One plus: Yuengling on tap! read more

Love it here. Been coming for years! Food is consistently good. Enjoy sitting outside, the inside front booths are a little dark for me.

I wasn't really impressed by Fresh Catch. When my wife and I arrived and asked for a booth, there were none available and the hostess sat us out in the very middle of the room at a large table. The next couple that came in got a nice cozy little table for two next to the window. I got the grilled salmon, which was tender but flavorless. The green beans and carrots served as a side were also devoid of flavor. Any kind of flavoring, spice, citrus, even a little salt would have made this meal better. My wife said her food was also flavorless. For almost forty dollars after the tip, I expected a lot more. Service was below average. The waitress only came by once to see if we needed anything. When it came time for the check, the waitress passed us by a few times, but we finally got her to take my card. She then turned around to take the order at the table of seven next us. When she finally finished, she went to the bar, made all of their drinks, delivered them, and finally ran our card. All in all, we waited an extra fifteen minutes after finishing our mediocre food just to pay and leave. The restaurant was loud, uncomfortable, and we had two flies constantly pestering us too. There wasn't any one thing wrong with this place, it's just that all of the little pieces added up to an average experience. If I could go two and a half stars, I would. read more

It has a lot of potential, despite being in such a weird building (isn't this a renovated retirement home office? Looks like it). The food is great, especially for the prices they're listed at. The blackened dolphin is definitely the best I've had in Stuart. I've only eaten here during lunch, so can't speak towards the evening crowd, but I would say it's a good place for a quick bite. However, they might want to rethink their staff. Either they're too young or too old; a seven or eight-year-old showed us to our table (which was fine, although a bit odd) and an older woman tried to serve us. It was going well until she had 2+ tables to wait on (we were her 2nd table of the day). Once she had to juggle 2 new tables, all shit hit the fan - she forgot orders, messed them up (or maybe that actually was the kitchen's fault), skipped our table, left dishes, messed up special prices, and, in the end, had to be flagged down to get our check. I'll go again so I can try the cobia, but I'll make sure to ask for the cute boy as the server. (Anybody know his name?!) read more
