The food was really good. Enjoyed the Cajun rice; however, those who do not like spice or very much heat stay away from this dish. The garlic muscles, I could have eating that all night long! Great spot to hang with friends, and not have a care in the world if sauce is on your face or dripping on your hands. Loved that they had multiple big screens throughout the restaurant, volume wasn't too loud or too low. Was able to watch the playoffs and still hold a conversation. Ultimately a pretty good hand out seafood spot for all the seafood lovers! I'd eat here again. read more

Good Catch Boil House - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Markham, Ontario

The quickest service I ever had in my life, they're even faster than mcdonalds (seriously!) We ordered and the food came out in less than 5 mins The food was pretty decent overall. The fries were super crispy and the lobster roll actually had a few thicc chunks of lobster in it (we got the lobster roll). Overall, it was tasty but nothing super special! It was surprisingly very filling, I couldn't even finish all of my fries. Definitely a nice spot to have a meal with friends! read more

During this visit, I only tried a few things so I'm open to coming again to try other dishes and add to my review later on. They have a huge selection so lots to choose from. Food: Ordered 3 things: Oyster slider burgers, lobster roll and soft shell crab seafood fried rice. We liked the oyster slider burgers the best in terms of texture and taste. It was unique and we enjoyed it. The lobster roll was also very fresh and delicious. However, the lobster roll was pretty small and it came with sides that were nothing special. The soft soft shell crab seafood rice was a good idea and we could taste the crunchy bits of sot shell crab but other than that, it was just normal fried rice. It was okay but no wow factor. Perhaps, we didn't choose the right dishes. Maybe next time, I'll try the other side of the menu to try their seafood "boil" options. Service: Great atmosphere, spacious and comfortable seating. Great for coming with a group of friends to sample more dishes and also to just hang out or watch a games from their many TVs. Service was prompt and attentive. read more

I love this place, their mini oyster sliders are sooo good. The good catch sauce will have you craving to come back. I've had the lobster, mussels, shrimps, oyster sliders, and everything was good. Waitresses could be more attentive, but overall I love this place. Great location in downtown Markham with the cineplex, go4tea, and spacious parking lot. I like that there is an area to walk around after a meal. read more

We are back after a dose of Kree and Skrulls in Capt Marvel. The Cajun rice so flavourful. Combo 1 much better than the other Boil houses in Toronto.

Busy place on a Saturday. Great service. Not bad food. Just felt that my Lobster Roll platter seemed kind of petit for the price paid for it. Was told the coleslaw was eliminated due to patrons stating that it was bland. Should of replaced it with something else like beans instead of an empty spot - or at least increase the french fry count or the Caesar salad. The rest of our party fairly enjoyed their food which was great. Would love to go back when it's quieter like on a week day. read more

Good Catch Boil House - Lobster Roll Meal #Prisma - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Would give this 3.5 for food but our party of 7 sat for quite some time and they didn't give us any rude comments or tried to push us out. We got the lobster nachos, 2 lbs each of the shrimps, mussels, and clams. Also got the soft shell crab rice and fish and chips. Lobster nachos wasn't too special. Wasn't worth the price. The garlic sauce was my favourite and curry least. I've had better fish and chips and soft shell crab rice. All in all this place is huge, good for meet ups and to watch a game. Also the decor is very nice. After tax and tips and mind you we shared all that it was $27 per person. The damage wasn't that bad. Would come again with a huge party as it's fun and they have the space to accommodate. read more

We have been to Good Catch a few times now and service and food has been very inconsistent. Our first visit was not a pleasant experience as we had to wait over an hour for our food. We followed up with our waitress a few times, and she finally realized our order never went into the system. She did apologize and said she would offer us a discount, in which at the end of the night, we were given a laughable 10% off. But despite that, we still ended up coming back to the restaurant because when the food finally arrived, it was delicious. Sadly, the food went on a downhill spiral in our subsequent visits. - We have tried different combinations of seafood and sauces including shrimp ($13.95), clams ($13.95) and mussels ($11.95). Again, each visit was very inconsistent. The seafood was very fresh and cooked to perfection the first time around. During our more recent visits, the mussels were overcooked and chewy, and some shrimps were slightly mushy, indicating that they were no longer fresh. As for the clams, they were tiny and we didn't find much protein in the 1 lb bag. - Good Catch Slaw ($18.95) - The salad came with a variety of raw ingredients and a basic berry vinaigrette dressing (a bit too basic in my opinion). The portions were pretty good, but it was nothing memorable and we didn't feel like it was worth the price. - Oyster sliders ($13.95) - We really enjoyed these the first time around. The bun was slightly sweet and the fragrant fried onions added a very nice flavour. However, the second time around, the quality greatly deteriorated. We were served soggy and oily fried onions, and this wasn't even on a busy night. - Soft shell crab sandwich ($12.95) - We didn't particularly like this sandwich as the flavours were pretty flat. You mostly just taste sweetness from the mango salsa. - Chicken tender basket ($8.95) - This was pretty good value as it came with 4 or 5 pieces of chicken tenders and curly fries on the side. The curly fries were quite tasty. - Combo A ($25.95) - This would have been a great deal if the seafood was actually fresh and not overcooked. You get 2 pounds of seafood (1lb mussels + 1 lb shrimps), 1 potato and 1 corn, with a choice of 1 sauce for both types of seafood. - Sauces - The garlic butter, good catch blend (this can be a bit spicy if you can't take heat) and the lemon pepper sauces were all delicious but be prepared to drink loads of water after. With such flavourful sauces, I can't imagine MSG not being one of the key ingredient. Overall, we do enjoy the menu and atmosphere here. However, based on our last two visits, we're in no rush to come back unless they start making some improvements. read more

I came here for my birthday, and I actually really enjoyed it. Many people might compared this place with Captain's Boil, cause they are really similar restaurants, but there's only one Good Catch Boil House, while there's several franchises of Captain's Boil as this point. The idea actually seems like they copied Captain's Boil's concept and just tweaked it to make a restaurant of their own. The decor of this place IS really nice though, and they certainly have a unique style and add a nice touch to DownTown Markham. We ordered the clams, $13.95 per pound, and you can choose between Cajun, Szechuan, Curry, Garlic Butter, Good Catch Blend and Lemon Pepper. Of course, if you know me well enough, my go to flavour is PROBABLY the garlic butter, and it was a well selected choice! The garlic didn't taste gross, but rather adds on to the delicious clams. In addition, we got the soft shelled crab fried rice, $13.95. This came in a giant pyramid, and was slightly spicy, so just ask the staff member if they can possibly make it less spicy for you if you're not a spice eater. This was also decent priced and large. Next we got the oyster sliders, one of my favourite dish. The oysters were fried and reasonable priced $13.95. Lastly, we ordered their soft-shelled crab basket $10.95, which came with one whole soft shelled crab with a little bit of fries. Absolutely delicious meal, and the price of the meal was considered cheap as well. read more

Wife and I went in here for lunch today, as the menu seemed decent. When we got there, there were 2-3 other tables. Decor is nice, kind of sports bar-meets-IKEA like. Huge 9-monitor screen at one end showing Wimbledon (off day for the World Cup). My wife ordered the soft shell crab and sweet potato fries, and I ordered the tuna poke bowl with brown rice and teriyaki sauce. Wife's dish came out first. Which is kind of surprising, seeing as the poke bowl should just be an assemble and go deal, while the crab requires some deep frying. More on this later. Presentation was nice and simple - crab on one side, fries on the other. No complaints there. The crab was coated in fish and chip batter, and it was very greasy - the oil was dripping from the crab, and you could taste it in the coating. What you couldn't taste - at all - was the crab. You could only taste it if you ripped off the batter and ate it alone. Sweet potato fries were cooked nicely. Spicy mayo was a nice compliment. Only complaint was that they were aggressively salted. The poke bowl did not come until after my wife was finished her crab, so maybe 25 minutes after we ordered. And in fact, the couple behind us, who had already ordered when we came in did not get their poke bowls until after my wife was finished her crab. And one of their orders was wrong. But I did get my order, and I have to say that it was good. It's definitely a substantial amount of food. The teriyaki sauce was a little sweet and I should've asked for it on the side. That's not on the restaurant, as I like a little less sauce than most people. Sauce aside, everything felt balanced so it was a good meal. But I think I could get a comparable poke bowl elsewhere. I'd like to give this more than 2 stars, but in truth, the negatives outweighed the positive, and there wasn't anything we ate that made me want to give it another shot, at least not for lunch. read more

Yum! I love eating boiled seafood in a bag. I've been to Good Catch Boil House twice now and enjoyed both visits. Service is good here and the food always comes out relatively fast. Ordering shrimp at these establishments is always a no-brainer for me because they soak up all of the sauce and they are meaty enough to be filling. No complaints about the shrimp here! I've also tried the snow crab legs which are pricier but surprisingly contain a good amount of meat too. Be sure to get the Good Catch Blend which is just a mix of the other sauces they offer. I also like to order sides of corn which are delicious and conveniently thrown into the bag of seafood! I've also tried their soft shell crab rice which is okay but not something I would order again because I think other places make it better. I find that the one here is a bit bland and doesn't really contain too much soft shell crab! Chicken wings are decent and their cajun fries are great - note that they are the skinnier kind and I recommend using the Good Catch Blend sauce as a dip for them. Would definitely come back once in awhile for some yummy, albeit messy, seafood. read more

Even though I've heard a lot about these various Boil Places. I haven't had the chance to try them out. Today a group my friends took me out for dinner. So we came here. Place was quite spacious and decor was suiting to their theme. Once you enter through the front doors you are greeted with a gigantic metallic statue of Popeye the Sailorman! I wanted to try their raw oysters, but it was quite pricy, and I knew my friends were treating. So didn't want to break their wallet. Next time. My hubby tried their sampler beer. Mild to Strong, quite refreshing and tasted great. We ordered various items. But I mainly came for the seafood in bags. Never tried crawfish before, so for sure I went for that. Chose the Schezwan Sauce to go with it. Other items we order was Good Catch Blend Shrimps and Garlic Butter Mussels. My friends also ordered the Oyster Sliders, Lobster Roll, Soft Shell Crab Sandwich, & Sweet Potato Fries. For me I loved all 3 seafood items, the flavours were bang on. Spice level for the Schezwan was just right for me. Might be too spicy for some. Shrimps were quite large and sauce was very well balanced. Mussels were very tasty but way too much garlic, I had to brush some off lol. I tried a bite of my hubby's lobster roll I thought it was tasty, but the size was quite small. My friend enjoyed her soft shell crab sandwich a lot. And the Oyster sliders were very well reached. Would definitely come back to try more of the other items on their menu. read more

So we came here tonight to celebrate my son's 11th birthday. We came at around 7. 45pm and the place is fairly quiet. Only around 5/6 tables occupied. We were given menus and took a while to decide what to order. We finally ordered 1lb of mussels in Good Catch Sauce plus corn, 1lb of shrimp in Garlic Butter, 12 Honey Garlic Wings, Oyster Sliders, Hot Lobster roll and 6 Raspberry Point Oysters. The boil in the bag seafoods were ok, it's the first time I've tried it and I doubt I'd ever order it again. I enjoy seafood but cooked in a different way. The lobster roll was ok, the meat was a bit overdone and rubbery. The oyster sliders are nice and worthy of ordering. The highlight was probably the chicken wings, they're quite large and cooked well but the meat remains moist. Then we get to the raw oysters, they didn't arrive. So we're all finished and I enquire about our missing oysters. The waitress says she'd go check and comes back saying there was a mix up and they'll arrive in 5 minutes. How can you mixup orders taken on an IPad? So I was expecting a discount on these oysters, but they were just charged at full price. Any restaurant would discount missing items because I could have just cancelled the order. They were supposed to have been served first and not last. Not a big deal but it makes me hesitant to ever return and this place isn't busy on weekdays. Water wasn't refilled either until asked. Food here is ok but service isn't that great or adequate. read more

Probably one of my favourite seafood places to go to. This is my go-to restaurant for birthdays and other celebrations because the food and atmosphere are both great. There are TVs and a bar for sports fans, and regular booth seats for families and larger parties. Some of my favourite things on their menu are the malpeque oysters, the soft shell crab fried rice, fried oysters basket, the shrimp, and THE CORN!! Surprisingly really good in their good catch sauce. Will definitely continue coming here! read more

Came with a group of friends for lunch and ordered lobster with nacho chips. To me this item is over price. I couldn't find too many lobster meat but the dish was covered with a lot of nachos and cheese, olives and chilies. When found a piece lobster meat, it's soooo salty. I came to this place before and the food they serve is not that bad. Perhaps this item is not done to my liking. I will come back for other items at another time. read more

Definitely lives up to the hype. Excellent selection of fresh seafood, and interesting seafood incorporated dishes. Interesting experience for those who are keen for seafood. Notably, the muscles are large in size, and as are the snow crab legs. I highly recommend the garlic butter flavour, especially if you like a strong garlic flavour. You can also opt to add a slight kick, choosing the mild garlic butter flavour. Beyond the very fresh seafood, the oyster sliders are also an excellent pick, with an abundance of fresh oysters that are lightly fried, topped with fried onions and their house mayo. The sweet potato fries are also a good an excellent side option, with a nice tangy mayo/Siracha dipping. Would definitely recommend this resturant for seafood lovers for a unique experience full of fresh and flavourful seafoos! read more

This is probably my favourite place of its kind to visit. Compared to the many others available in the area, this is easily the best. We ordered the snow crab legs and mussels with a side of corn and brussel sprouts, and the lobster nachos. Normally, I'm not a fan of snow crab legs as I find them needing much work with little reward but these were an exception. They cracked easily with large chunks of meat inside. We got these with the garlic sauce which complimented the crab legs well. The mussels were delicious, though I naturally love them. We got these with their good catch blend sauce, which I highly recommend. It had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, though it wasn't overwhelming which is good. The corn was okay but the brussel sprouts were large and cooked perfectly, which I found pleasantly shocking. Lastly, we had the lobster nachos. Yes, it was pretty pricey for nachos but it is so worth it. The presentation was nice to look at and the portion was huge. It came with a generous amount of dips and toppings. I especially loved the big chunks of lobster in the dish. While these restaurants do run on higher prices, Good Catch Boil House was worth every dollar spent. read more

Great ambiance, especially for a crowd or if you watch sports game. I had the salmon poke- a bit disappointed that it didn't have any avacodos in it, so my recommendation is order the tuna poke. I liked how they had zucchini noodles. Great healthy alternative. Their lobster roll was good ($25.99) came with fried and salad. Their lobster Mac and cheese was okay. read more

Environment: Nice, modern and clean with shore vibes! Big Popeye statue is a nice touch and the big flat screens are great for watching games. I like how the music doesn't drown out conversations. They have space for all group sizes. Been here a couple of times with different groups (family, small group of friends, boyfriend, and large group of friends). Service: This is where the lost star went. My partner and I brought my parents out to try good catch for the first time at 7pm today and our server Joy gave us a quite unwelcoming impression. It started with some attitude which got better throughout the night. When we asked a question about an item on the try out menu that she didn't know the answer to, she responded with something she was unsure about. We had to ask her specifically after if she could check. We also had to ask for plates, forks, then bibs and gloves. It could've been an off day for her and she did apologize when we had to bother her again for the bibs and gloves. Service on other days by others have been a positive experience. Food: The seafood is ALWAYS fresh, hot and flavourful! I've had the good catch blend sauce and also the lemon pepper sauce. Dungeness crab with curry is a delicious match. In terms of the other foods, The fried oyster burgers that I had before were oily but extremely filling and yummy. Today we tried the Cajun fried chicken which was tender and juicy on the inside and extremely crispy yet not oily on the outside. It was paired with two sauces for dipping. The good catch slaw was a great salad albeit a little pricy at almost $20. There were pieces of figs inside which was a nice touch and served in a basket made of fried taro. Drinks: Love the number of beers on tap! The Canucks and return of the planet is similar and have grapefruit/lychee notes. The stout is extremely smooth and has a black coffee flavour. Have yet to try the others. Price: It was $160ish tonight for 5 pounds of shrimp, mussels and clams, 3 pounds of corn, potatoes and lotus, a chicken leg steak, a salad, and 3 beers. Enough to feed 5 people since we had leftovers with 4. On a usual night, I would probably pick up a combo to share between two for about $30 - not bad at all! Will be back! Just hope that attitude is not brought to a workplace as it does dampen customer mood. read more

Went here with my family and was pleasantly surprised! We started with the lobster nachos, which were very tasty and were presented in a cool, different way. While they were good, I found it a bit expensive for what we were getting. For our mains, three of us got queen crab legs with their special catch seasoning (a mix of Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper). The crab legs were extremely saucy (which we all loved) and the seasoning was fantastic. My mom got the lobster roll and enjoyed it, however said she'd had better. Overall it was a good atmosphere, and had great service. Food was very good, however some things on the menu were pricey. Will be visiting again! read more

Good Catch Boil House - Lobster Nachos - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Not only are they a Boil house (seafood in a bag shindig) but they are also a sports bar that I frequent on game day and when I want to go somewhere more low-key. I mean everyone loves eating lobster in a bag with your hands with a cold one to go with it right? Impressive selection of craft beer if that's what you're into. Liquor ranges from your basic bar rail to top-shelf cognacs and whiskeys such as macallan rare cask. As long as they have what's needed they can make a huge variety of cocktails, just ask! Bar food is in full affect with a seafood twist to it, from chicken wings and nachos to fried oyster sliders (MUST ORDER). they even have happy hour specials after 9PM (who's getting plastered before 9 anyways) with $5 drinks and $8 double bar rails! Select food items are discounted as well which is also another plus. Huge restaurant, but consider making a reso on the weekend or when the playoffs are on considering its hit or miss if they'll be slammed or not. Service is super attentive even when theyre busy they usually have enough staff to make sure all the tables are taken cared of, management also make their rounds as well which is nice to see, super friendly as they make conversation with customers thus building a solid base of repeat customers. Obviously the most important thing is the food, I've tried most of the menu and I do believe they have something for everyone whenever you like seafood or not their non-seafood dishes are equally as good. I'm not a huge fan of oysters but they have a pretty wide selection of oysters too. If you have difficulty deciding on which oysters you prefer the staff are pretty knowledgeable on the different ones available. My Go-To's: Fried Oyster Basket Oyster Sliders Soft Shell Crab Fried Rice Mussels/Shrimp in Good Catch Blend Clams in Garlic Butter Lobster Roll (Cold) Like I said they have something for everyone so my list may or may not carter to your tastebuds. Parking is no problem just park in the lot just across the street on the east side of the restaurant if there isn't anything available in the underground. read more

It was okay... Huge restaurant. Lots of people. Very lively. And staff running around all the time. Just to give you an idea of what it's like here. FYI this restaurant cannot be accessed (not now anyways) through the inside, so make sure you get a good parking spot, especially when the weather isn't that great. The restaurant is quite large, and there's plenty of seating available. The decor (including the famous golden Popeye right at the front door) is pretty cool; very colourful and vibrant. The staff are pretty much running around all the time. The food does come pretty quick, which is a bonus. Now, a low down on the food. Most of them were okay, but not amazing. Seafood, imo, is best served fresh and not deep fried, not to say that it wasn't good here, though. It's a different kind of enjoyment. The majority of their menu here are deep fried, which is pretty good if you're watching a game on their multiple tv's here. They do provide gloves for eating so it's the same concept for all boil houses out there. We ordered a few pounds of various seafood and it was a good amount among 8 people. They also have a selection of oysters, which we didn't try. My favourite dish here was probably the nachos. There's lots of ingredients there, and large enough to share among a few people. Another dish is their sliders. Perfect size to eat in a few bites, and cute enough for some IG moments. Price is pretty decent, not much to argue there. The atmosphere is pretty fun to come with a group to chill and eat. read more

Good Catch has been here for awhile now, but I'm finally taking the time to write them a good review. They are an amazing addition to the booming Markham food scene that I can easily recommend it to anyone that likes seafood. During a time not too long ago, seafood steamed in bags became a big fad and while Good Catch was not first on the scene, they have a business that is great and most important of all, tasty. They are open quite late and serve seafood in bags, fried seafood in various forms, and definitely a lot of great dishes for seafood lovers. They are also a large, well kept and modern venue which makes it a great place for watching big games/events such as McGregor vs. Mayweather. They also have happy hour everyday after 9pm with certain $5 drinks and a few dollars off dishes such as wings. I usually get the 6 wings with honey garlic sauce, which actually fills me up and packs a punch! With all these great points, Good Catch is easily a hot spot and an easy place to go for a good food experience. Service is also always great, and the workers all seem to genuinely like each other and their jobs. My only -ish with the place is that as a non-seafood eater, I would love to see a slightly expanded menu for meat lovers, or even integrating some of their lunch menu options into dinner. Other than that, I highly recommend Good Catch! read more

A new competitor to the captain's boil scene, this place was ok. Would still prefer captain's boil from a flavour perspective. Basic bagged seafood with sauce concept but also lots of options for seafood and bar food entrees. We ordered 2 combos for 6 people plus the lobster mac and cheese and Cajun fries. It was plenty of food even without the mac and cheese. The bagged seafood was okay. There's lots of seasoning options for your seafood bags, we tried the good catch spices and the garlic butter. Neither were very good. And it seemed like there wasn't much butter or real butter wasn't used. There just wasn't that buttery fragrance or flavour you would find from captains boil. Also, do not order the Cajun fries. A tiny basket of thin cut fries that seemed lightly dusted with some unflavourful Cajun spices.. McCain has better fries than these. Lastly, while they weren't great in the food category, the service was actually really good. Incredibly attentive despite being really busy. The kitchen screwed up and we didn't get a lobster mac and cheese until very late, and upon cancelling the order, they brought it out and comped it on the house, a nice gesture to save whatever goodwill we had left. I feel they're trying to do too many things at once and quality and speed suffers. They're non-seafood-bag food and entrees look decent, but probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Good food and service is enough to speak for a restaurant, and the majority of my reviews revolve around these 2 essentials. I'll start off by saying that the food is good, the price is reasonable, but the service can be a die hard hit or miss. I've been here quite a few times, but after my last experience I'm never going to take a good server for granted again. In the GTA a good waitress is common, but once you get a bad one, you'll know. If you've been to captains boil, it's pretty much the same thing, but I'd say I prefer good catch's sauce more. Ordering shrimp, mussels, clams, or crab you won't go wrong. The sauce is flavourful, you can control the heat, and it's delicious. The soft shell crab however, I wouldn't say is anything special. It tastes okay, but I wouldn't go looking for it again. On our most recent visit, we ordered 2lbs of shrimp, mussels, and clams, a grapefruit radler and a liquid gold. When the food came, I thought it was unusually small, but didn't think anything of it. We finished it very quickly and ordered ANOTHER round of 2lbs of each. When the second order came again it looked really small so we asked the guy who brought it how much it was. Long story short the waitress got our order wrong twice. The first time I specifically told her 2lbs of each and then reconfirmed with her before she ran off to god knows where. When confronted with her mistake she said "you told me mussels, clams and shrimp, and I reconfirmed with you". Keep in mind it also took me 3 times to try and explain what the problem was, and when it finally got through her thick skull, not even so much as an apology. Just a "what do you want me to do about it now?". Never have I met such a ditzy, incompetent, and arrogant waitress. But if it's any consolation, she also forgot to order the liquid gold. How hard is it to enter things on an iPad? read more

Must Try: Crab, Crab Legs, Clams & Mussels with Good Catch Blend Sauce at Medium spice with Corn and Vermicelli, Oyster Sliders, Poke Bowl (lunch only), Craft Beers Rating: (9/10) Food, (8/10) Service, (8/10) Value, (10/10) Ambience, (9/10) Presentation, (9/10) Cleanliness My Experience: Been here several times, and it's one of the top 'boil houses' on my list. Amongst this boil house craze and all the countless boil/harbour/catch restaurants popping up, Good Catch stands above them by maintaining quality seafood with quality sauce. I've been to the boil houses in California in which these restaurants are inspired by, and the key difference is most boil houses don't offer the quality seafood that the California counter-parts offer. Good Catch recognizes this distinction and maintains high quality offerings. Of course the 'seafood in bag' is the main attraction (catch my fav combo up top), but their oyster sliders are also delicious, along with the crab fried rice. Great for a group gathering or going out to watch a sporting event. Their bar is very underrated and the large number of tv's everywhere make it a great bar to watch the game. Plus they're open very late, so you'll be able to watch everything including the over time. Although it is not a cheap adventure, you will not be disappointed by the offerings of this establishment. read more

Worst food I've ever eaten in my life. They were missing half the menu, and the other half was random foods with lobster crammed in. The service was terrible. Ordered our apps after 20 minutes, then waiting an hour to get our mains. My clam chowder had the consistency of water and came out cold. My Dad's chowder came out an hour late. For my main, I got the lobster Caesar salad, which was the worst Caesar I've had in my life. Came with cold bacon, cold lobster, and it was drained in crummy dressing. My stomach was killing me after taking only a few bites. Overall, terrible experience. Do NOT come here. read more

Love this place. Consistently great quality each time. Much better value and quality that Captains Boil. The shrimps are impressively larger than most places. The sauces are flavourful and rich. Lots of craft beer options. Nice ambience and clean. Highly recommended! read more

Came on a weekday for dinner and it was not packed at all. With Good Catch, I really like the ambience in this restaurant as the ceilings are high and it feels spacious (unlike Captain Boil). For our party, we ordered: 4 pounds of mussels (in garlic butter, good catch blend, lemon pepper, cajun),1 pound of mussels (in garlic butter), lobster bisque, fried oysters and cajun fries. Honestly, I think the mussels are the best value for the seafood boil that they served. The clams tasted alright but sometimes there was no meat in the shells. The seafood boils were not super marinated but it definitely had more flavour than other seafood boils in Toronto. However, you can always ask for more sauce to drench the seafood in. I didn't really have a favourite in terms of the flavouring. They were all alright across the board. The fried oysters were probably the best part of this meal (definitely recommend this dish) as the flavour and texture were on point. The lobster bisque was disgusting as it did not even taste like how lobster bisque should be. It is as if they randomly dumped some lobster meat into some random soup base and made a soup. The cajun fries were crispy and tasty (definitely recommend this dish as well). This would be a good place to host parties/events as they have many large tables catering to large parties. I would probably come back to Good Catch again as the prices are reasonable. read more

Was just over here meeting up with friend for lunch. It's right at downtown markham near markham VIP, at the front. My lunch pal had a poke bowl, fish mix with some brown rice and special sauce. It looks great! I order a soft shell crab and also avocado grill cheese, sounds really healthy, but damn that grill cheese is what I'm going to come back for. So simple and so delicious! With fries on the side, instant diet fail for me. read more

My girlfriend and I just left this restaurant leaving little to be desired other than the beers. We ordered "combo a" which was a lb of mussel and a lb of shrimp. We chose the "good catch seasoning". Figured if you're going to put your name on it, then at least it'll be tasty. All it was is essentially some seasoning and ALOT of garlic. Other than the lack of flavor in their sauce, there was poor quality control with the food. Shrimps were over cooked (shells sticking to the meat) and worst of all, the mussels were not de-bearded at all. That's just laziness by the kitchen. Not appealing to eat. I give this place 2-stars only because the server was at least pleasant enough and the beer was what I expected from a beer. read more

Food is good , SERVICE SUCKS. Do not recommend on a Sunday, the server was looking at the other table while we ordered. No refill of water or service after we ordered. Cannot even find her to pay the meal, have to grab some food carrying bus boy, then she dropped by with the bill and credit card machine & left. We just talk to the credit card machine to complete the transaction, have not seen her again when we walked out the door. Might as well make it a McD self serve machine DLLM read more

MANNN DO I LOVE MYSELF SOME SEAFOOD! Impressed with the quality and versatile spices that can really accommodate to everyone's tastebuds. I got shrimp, clams and mussels and can say that the clams aren't worth trying but the other two are MUST-HAVES!! Other than the seafood, they also have good selections of finger foods or mains!! I was with a party of 5 and we also got nachos and chicken wings too share. If i'm being honest, 3 pounds of seafood and 2 appetizers were not enough to make us full but the price was about $20 each! If you're looking to indulge in seafood but not get a full belly out of it, then by all means! But if you're really hungry, I don't think this type of meal is right for you unless you're really willing to splurge! I would definitely come back to get their famous lunch menu finds such as the poke bowl and mac and cheese! read more

Came for lunch with some friends and with two newborns in the mix, it's important for us FTM to go to baby friendly restaurants to not get overwhelmed by the chaos that can happen! We came on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm and there was no wait. The restaurant is so spacious overall, and at our table, we were able to fit two strollers. The handicap washroom had a change table and the cleanliness was perfect, didn't make me squirm and want to brave the cold to change my baby back in the car. We ordered several of their poke bowls, lobster grilled cheese, lobster Mac and cheese and their soft shell crab sandwich. For the poke bowls, love how there is the zoodle option. Having had many poke bowls from downtown locations, I took off a star because the portion could have been bigger - the salmon/tuna pieces could have been bigger, and there could have been a bit more sauce. The lobster grilled cheese and mac and cheese were delicious chunks of lobster mixed in gooey cheese. I think it wouldn't hurt to have a small salad to go with it though. Presentation wise it looked really bare with just the sandwich and fries. The soft shell crab sandwich looked amazing, the mango salsa was a good way to balance the greasiness of anything fried. Seems like there's some inconsistency with the sandwich since some posters had poorly fried soft shell crab and ours was just fine. My friend who doesn't like seafood much actually enjoyed it! I think the food here is a bit overpriced to be honest, but for the comfort of bringing along our babies, it's certainly a restaurant that I would consider making regular visits. Next time, if I don't have my little one with me, I'll try their bags of seafood! read more
