We came back again on Thursday. I took my Ottawa friends here and they liked the clams too. The garlic clams still taste amazing as always. I can eat two bags or more by myself. The shrimp is not as good. So I rather save my quota for the clams. The Shenzhen sauce was way too over powering and spicy. I like the ambiance and lighting at this restaurant too. I will be back for more garlic clams and the Waterloo radler! read more

Pre-COVID experience was going downhill. Staff are awesome, but the quality of the food goes down every single time we go. It's like they try their best to lower food quality to see if people still go. Seriously. I'm surprised at how the quality of the staff improves when the food keeps getting worse. Shrimp was mushy and so overcooked that the shell sticks to the meat. The mussels have gotten smaller and less fresh. The rice was poorly cooked - I know, wtf was I even thinking. I guess they deserve one more shot at redemption for old times sake though. read more

I love this establishment. I recently got to try their lunch menu and needless to say, this place is still great. We enjoyed the mac n cheese and the lobster grilled cheese with cajun fries. Both dishes was cheesy and yummy! We also tried the salmon and tuna poke bowl. Both bowls were beautifully presented but the overall taste was just OK - lacking flavour. The portions are small for the price you pay so I wouldn't say it's a daily lunch place. Service was good. read more

3.5 star I have mixed feeling towards Good Catch Boil House. I love what they are bring to Markham. - The first and still the only Craft Beer Bar with 18 draft lines offerings OCB in Markham - Raw Seafood Bar sourced by Patrick McMurray offering fresh oysters and shellfish - Best Sport Bar with so many TVs that no matter where you seated, you will able to watch the game! - Chicken Wings! So good, probably the best in Markham! Good Catch just have so much potential! Locating in Downtown Markham and I can even imagine how busy it will get in the future: the place to be. In fact, they are busy even now for weekends! Menu still needs some work. I hope you like deep fried food which can be super oily. The Soft Shell Crab was one of the worse thing I have as it was drenched in oil and looked just so brown. I don't really like the heavy batter they use their oyster/fish/soft shell crab. Just a shame to cover up the freshness of seafood with over breaded and seasoned batter. Lobster rolls are good. I won't say they are the best I ever have but at least compares to what they offers in Markham. I am glad they working on lunch menu which offers more diversity and at least with some non deep fried options. I tried their Salmon Poke which was quite decent. Service can be a hit or a miss depends on your servers and the time of the day during your visit. I definitely recommend coming here to catch a game or as a pre/after movie drink and snack. And hopefully you love drinking beers! read more

Sometimes I just love having a good seafood meal. We came in on a Thursday night around 9:30 pm and this is my first time here so I thought for sure we'd be denied entrance but when I walked up to the door they are opened until 1:00 am every night except for Friday and Saturday which is until 2:00 am. I was also very happy that they offer happy hour specials Monday to Sunday. Sunday to Thursday happy hour starts at 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm to Close, as for Friday and Saturday their happy hour starts at 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm to Close. They offer a variety of beer's and wine for $5 as well as some bar rail drinks, this is awesome as some of you may know that weekends most places don't usually offer happy hour specials. I was only here for a quick snack and chat with my friend so we only ordered shrimp, clams, and fried oysters. This place also offers a little bit of variety unlike some other places that serves up Southern style Cajun boil, they have the seafood boil, poke bowl, burgers, a bunch of snacks off the fryer. We got the shrimps with the Good Catch Blend ( Cajun + Garlic Butter ) in Medium spice and the Calms were in Garlic Butter. Be prepared to as they make their sauces with loads of garlic but it's so god with the amount of garlic they use. The deep fried oysters were also delicious and I believe was part of their happy hour menu as well. The prices per pound for the seafood was very reasonable and comparable to other restaurants of the same nature. I really enjoyed eating here and chatting especially with the happy hour prices on drinks. Feijai Out! read more

Holy fack, give me all of Good Catch's lobster nachos and oysters. I came here after a large tasting event and unfortunately wasn't as hungry as I normally would've been coming into a seafood boil restaurant. Seafood is my shit. Like, seafood is the reason I'm having difficulties going vegan. I was fortunate to grow up close to the water most of my life, so I've always been blessed with fresh AF seafood and I can tell you that Good Catch serves up some damn good seafood dishes. We came in quite late around 10:30-11pm and were able to snag a table right away. We grabbed a large booth by the door and quickly ordered a few drinks - tequila shots in celebration of a successful event with a gin and tonic on the side for me. For food, I let the local expert, Kris U. do the ordering. We got lobster nachos, oysters, and hot wings w/ cajun fries. We didn't think this was a lot of food to split for 4 people... but it was a lot of food. Again, if we hadn't just come from a tasting event, I'm sure that we could've easily finished this plus more, but we were so stuffed and unfortunately couldn't finish it all. We did manage to eat all the lobster from the lobster nachos though (can't let that expensive part go to waste!). Everything was really well made and delicious - the oysters were super fresh, the lobster nachos delicious, and the hot wings perfectly crispy. My belly was a happy camper and I slept great that night. Service was great and attentive. We were able to have an engaged conversation with our server and even though it was late, we never felt rushed. When I'm back in ON, I'd love to come back here and try other things on their menu. Thanks for putting me in a food coma, Good Catch. read more

We had 2 adults and 2 under 2 yrs.. went in and ordered 3 meals to be fair to any restaurant in taking up 4 seats... then asked whether they had kids meals so my 2 yr old gets his own meal as a 4th. Kids meal came highly recommended.. At the end of the meal, they surprised us with a kids meal charge at $19.. I asked our server whether there was a mistake .. he scoffed at me, giggled then said someone else would talk to me about it.. manager came then immediately said "it is what it is.. their boss increased their price and they couldn't honour the old price.". It was my first time there.. food was actually decent and price of other items was fair.. but I'll never go back read more

Good Catch Boil House - What they charge for $19 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Markham, Ontario

What a catch! This budding city sure is lucky to attract the eyes of some fantastic seafood restaurant entrepreneurs. This Asian fusion seafood boil trend is really picking up and with all trends, there are winners and there are losers. Good Catch is, in my books, an absolute winner! I don't expect a lot from these over-sauced, deep fried seafood joints but I kept getting surprised by the tastiness of everything! If you're gonna come, bring friends, leave your diet at home, and get ready to drink a lot of water! Between 12 of us, we got an assortment of: Shrimp Gumbo: Feels, looks, and tastes like a regular soup. Out of everything ordered, this was the one I liked the least, though it still tasted alright. I just expected gumbo to be thicker, like a shrimp stew. Mussels in House Sauce: Yes, that house sauce in a bag is salty as all hell but it's the epitome of garlicky goodness. Mussels are the perfect vessel with their meaty morsels and built-in scoop. Soft Shell Crab Sandwich: Finally!! A soft shell crab sandwich that is accessible to me! Previously, I traveled downtown to get a hold of one of these beauties and left disappointed. Good Catch, your soft shell did not need a hard sell. One bite and I was sold! Oyster Sliders: Fried oysters in 3 brioche sliders. I didn't know this was a thing...but it's now one of the most delicious things you can do with an oyster. Seriously, I'd go back just to order this by itself. Soft Shell Crab Fried Rice: Something on the more Asian end of Asian fusion. It's a pyramid of fried goodness with generous chunks of soft shell crab. My one suggestion would be adding bigger variety of non-fried seafood goods, like pastas, which they lack right now. I mean I love my deep fried sandwiches, but sometimes you want something a bit easier on the throat, especially with the salty salt bags of saucy seafood. Service was good, but not great. This might require just a bit more practice on the staff's part. Speaking of the staff, damn. That is one good looking crew. Located in the swanky "Downtown Markham" with a massive drink selection, great seating, and a sports bar vibe, the food wouldn't be the only thing you come back for! The Good Catch is definitely one of the best catches in this landlocked city. (49/100) - 2017 read more

Came by last Saturday night for the evening happy hour (post-9pm on Sun-Thurs and post-10pm on Fri-Sat) and had an overall pleasant experience. We were seated and served fairly quickly but I wasn't fond of the noise level. This place really went for that "bar atmosphere" at night with the dimmed lighting and extra loud music. Between my boyfriend and I, we ordered the "Catch of the Mussels ($12)" and the "Fried Wings Basket ($10)". For both dishes, we were able to choose from a selection of sauces so we chose the house special for the mussels and honey garlic for the wings. On presentation, both dishes looked great - they were large pieces glistening in what little light there was in the restaurant with steam coming off of them. Verdict: the mussels were too hard/overcooked with not enough sauce but the wings were delicious and juicy. The wings also came with fries, which were just mediocre. Overall, I enjoyed their wings enough that I would gladly consider coming back for them during happy hour, but I'm going to have to pass on the mussels. Maybe I'll try the Fried Oyster Basket next time too! read more

Went straight downhill after 2020. GC used to be my go-to compared to captains boil but now, never again. Appetizer portion sizes are laughable and a half-assed effort. The calamari was laughable and included 8 rings, 3 fish balls and some pepper. Snow crab legs used to be a decently priced alternative to mussels and clams but now are priced at $62/lb as of today's market price. Soft shell crab fried rice was also mediocre - probably enough crab to fit on one index finger. Extremely disappointed and will be on the captains boil train again. read more

Good Catch Boil House - Calamari $8 not worth it - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I stopped by for dinner with a friend on a Monday evening so it was not too busy, though there were a couple of tables occupied when we walked in. We did not order the bagged items so this review is for the other items on the menu. Altogether, we ordered nachos with guac, wings and fish tacos. The wings were very good. They were decently large and flavoured very well. The nachos and guac, however, were lacking. The guac had no flavour, which was probably because it clearly wasn't seasoned at all (no lemon juice, salt or pepper that normal guac has). The seasoning on the chips was not strong enough to hide the bland flavour of the guac. The fish tacos had the opposite problem where it had too much seasoning, but the fish itself was good. My main complaint would have to be the service. It took ridiculously long for our server to come and refill our water. She was always elsewhere in the restaurant (even though it was not busy at all on a Monday evening) so it was very difficult to try and flag her over. We sat and waited for 30 minutes for her to eventually make her way back to our area so we could ask for water. Parking is not an issue at all since the restaurant shares the large parking lot with the other stores in the plaza. Transit there should also be fairly easy, as Viva busses were seen passing by semi frequently. read more

This is a restaurant that serves mostly seafood located in downtown markham. Came here for my birthday with friends and family and we were seated promptly at our reservation time on a Sunday night. Server recommended ordering multiple dishes and splitting them amongst our group as some of the sauces and flavours might be too heavy. That was a good idea as it allowed us to try many of what they offered. Ordered fried oyster sliders, but didn't feel like the oysters were very large or noticeably tasty. Soft shell crab fried rice was aright, but I think it's good it wasn't the only thing I was eating. The fried calamari was good, but the calamari had jalapeños and peppers indispersed, so watch out for those if you don't like super spicy. Lobster nachos were recommended but there wasn't a lot of lobster in the dish. I would not pay $30 for that again. We ordered a combo with clams, and shrimp with garlic butter sauce and then extra lbs of mussels and shrimp with their good catch mild spice sauce. There were barely any clams in the clam one, and I found nothing special about the actual combo with baby potatoes and two small chunks of corn. The garlic butter sauce is extremely salty...fortunately it went well with a side of the fried rice I mentioned earlier. The good catch sauce was good and not spicy in mild. Kids combo was expensive for just two sliders and fries but what can you do when you bring them out, lol. I enjoyed the food but thought I could make it for way better cost at home so I'm not sure I would come here often. One REALLY good time to come would be during happy hour 3-6pm or after 9pm when food is much cheaper and beer is $5! They also have a LARGE variety of beer which is excellent. WARNING though, and what I disliked the most: parties of 8 or more (including children) they charge "18% tip" but since they charged it on the POST TAX price it's actually closer to 20% tip automatically applied to the bill. OUCH. read more

This is a newer opened restaurant that way under estimated its popularity for Father's Day 2017. I booked a table of 4 for Sunday lunch and the hostess over the phone told me not to worry it shouldn't be that busy but I insisted making it earlier that week. This place got slammed from open at 11:30am and line ups spilling outside still around 2pm! Needless to say the service suffered from being understaffed. The manager was helping out and he looked tense! I'm always empathetic to servers as I have been one myself, but it's rough when you can't flag anyone down for water for 15 mins, or check on your table. Food: 4.5 stars Service today: 2.5 Washrooms: 3 (ran out of soap & paper towels already at opening??) Ordered: The Yelp: lobster fries supreme Tuna poke bowl Cajun sauced 2 Bags of mussels Sweet potatoe fries Sampler beer flight($11!) Gotta say all the food was top notch 5 stars like at the Yelp tasting this year...except for the Yelp order! It was not what I thought Yelp inspired meant. How did that go wrong? The fries were piled on a 6 inch plate, so that's very small, drowned in a cheese sauce and sour cream that was way too salty and lacking flavor profile, missing bacon or I couldn't find them with bits of lobster that probably amounted to a tablespoon and dusted with Cajun spice. This is a pass, save room for the boiled seafood. Beer selection is great here, if unsure order the flight to sample 4 from the menu. I will visit again and hopefully they'll be better staffed read more

I am so excited about this restaurant! We had a reservation for 6 people at 8pm and we were seated within 5 minutes or so of the reservation. The restaurant is big and spacious but they managed to fit in a lot of seating. It's a great space and it's decorated nicely. It has a sports bar, mixed with a seafood restaurant/gastropub feel. All of the menu looks amazing, everyone was so excited to order and it was so hard to decide what we wanted. The prices are quite reasonable, considering the value, area and atmosphere. We decided on a few appetizers, the lobster nachos, oyster sliders and a dozen raspberry point oysters. The nachos were AMAZING, nice big chunks of lobster, a generous portion of chips, guacamole, sour cream, cheese and all the usual nacho toppings. I don't think I can ever eat regular nachos again! The oyster sliders were also amazing, the oysters tasted fresh and the breading was light, they dressed it with some type of sauce and some fried onion strings and it was really fantastic. This portion was really good for the price of around $13. The fresh oysters were also delicious, they were large and meaty, they came with horseradish, seafood sauce, lemon wedges and some other garlic looking sauce. After the appetizers we ordered the crawfish with the good catch sauce, a lobster roll, Dungeness crab, the chicken strips and the fried soft shell crab with sweet potato fries. The crawfish was a massive portion, I think there were 20 crawfish in each bag, they tasted fresh and the sauce was really good, mind you the medium sauce is quite spicy! We added potatoes and corn which really makes this into a meal. A friend got the Dungeness crab which looked really good and the lobster roll looked good as well, unfortunately I didn't get around to trying them, my friends enjoyed these dishes however. The service was pretty good, I think the servers are still quite new so they would have to go to the kitchen to ask questions if they didn't know something, for example what types of sauces did they have for the chicken strips or how many does it come with. But overall she was friendly and attentive. I really hope this restaurants keeps up the good work and can continue to offer the consistent value and flavour. I can't wait to come back to try the shrimp and other dishes! Also a bonus, they're open until 2am so you can stop in even after a late movie for a great meal! read more

More like bad catch boil house. I've been here a few times pre COVID and the food has always been good. First time ordering during COVID and I am disgusted. First of all, the lobster roll and lobster fries smelled off. The lobster smells like dead fish and the texture was soft like cottage cheese. I ordered the lobster roll, lobster fries, soft shell crab, clam chowder. Basically could only eat the other 2 dishes if I don't want to risk food poisoning. Really disappointed. read more

Review is based on their media launch, which was very well planned. I had the opportunity to meet bloggers and instagrammers and tasted almost over 10-12 items on their menu! What generosity! Location/Service: Right in the heart of downtown Markham. It's in the same complex with Cineplex VIP - but the restaurant is right on the side. Parking can get a little tough when it's busy, especially during Tues nights. Hopefully the lot gets expanded soon. Inside the restaurant is huge! I love their decor - bright lights, wide open space to the bar and kitchen. They do have a full bar with local beer, perfect to swing by late nights to catch up with friends or watch a sports game. All staff were very friendly - making sure we have the samplers to try and drinks. They were also quick and accommodating with any requests/help we have on the menu items. Food: Because I ate so many items, I'll review some of the ones I remember and with good pictures. Oyster Sliders - possibly one of the BEST item. Although they are sliders, it was a handful to eat. The oysters were fried to perfection (juicy and crisp) - matching so well with the deep fried onions and mayo. Highly recommended to try. Chicken Wings - tried both honey garlic and cajun flavor. Honey garlic was loaded with the honey, sweet and tender while the cajun had a little bit of spice to kick things up. Good Catch Slaw - this gigantic salad has 18 ingredients incorporated. Perfect to share and a nice appetizer to start, as all the ingredients are fresh - opening up the palate and appetite. Lobster Roll with cold mayo - good portion of the actual lobster meat. You can taste it's still very fresh and soft. This comes with an option with butter, which I actually like it better. Cajun fries on the side, also a good spice to regular fries. Cajun Seafood Fried Rice - massive carb loader. The seafood mixed well with the rice - and again the cajun adds a little kick. Other items (with no pictures) include Gumbo Soup, Dungeness Crab mixed in Curry Sauce, Clams/Mussels in Garlic Butter/Cajun and fresh Oysters. Overall, I liked Good Catch because it's not just a bag of seafood type of restaurant. They have sandwiches/chicken wings/salad & soup - with good sharing portions. It's a perfect place to come either with families, friends or late nights. read more

I came here last week as a guest at a Yelp event and liked it so much, I just had to come back. I brought along a couple of cousins who were celebrating their birthdays, an aunt and an uncle. We ordered the gumbo, snow crab legs, shrimps, soft shelled crab, Cajun fries, corn, potatoes, garlic bread, and the slaw. All the food was fresh and tasted really good, especially if you like garlic. We love garlic! The slaw was enough for the five of us to share. We were all stuffed at the end of our meal. The service was very good, from the moment we entered, through dinner, and right until we left. Our servers were very attentive and checked on us several times. I'll be back again... read more

after catching an evening movie, we came by here on a late week day. orderd the lobster fries, shrimp, muscles and chicken wings. wings 3/5 - obviously people dont come here for the wings..but theyre not bad. jumbo wings, crispy coated and tossed w.a sauce/dry rub of your choice. tastes slightly bland - the breading could use a little more spice! shrimp & muscles 5/5 - everyone loved it! not over cooked, saucy & garlicky w.the nice little kick (spiciness can be adjusted)! the best part? dipping everything we ordered in their house sauce! mmm! lobster fries 1/5 - huge let down. fries were way undercooked. not hot at all, no crunch, very minimal lobster bits (literally 4 little pcs slightly bigger than a chick pea, strategically placed at 4 corners, ans drizzled lightly w.a mayo of some kind. save your dollars and stick to their regular cajun fries, it tastes way better! overall i know we ordered some of the lesser popular items on menu, but will definitely come back to try the sliders/burgers that our friends rave about! read more

AT LONG LAST, I FINALLY GOT TO TRY THIS PLACEEEEE. I've been waiting so long for this HAHAH. Most of the people I know aren't huge fans of seafood or they're allergic so ofc I could only bring my one and only trusty mothaaa. Thanks for always indulging me, mum LOL. Good Catch is located in the Downtown Markham plaza but, it's not accessible from the underground parking or the cinema building. You have to walk outside to the building next door to get there. Their menu is pretty small - seafood boils, bunch of fried stuff, raw oyster bar, and some apps. They also offer lunch specials (no boils for lunch specials! Just poke, grilled cheese, sliders, pasta). We tried (all of these were more than enough for a v satisfying and filling meal): Tuna Poke $13 - Mehh. Skip this. I wouldn't come here for the poke, just head over to Poke Guys instead LOL. Combo B (1lb shrimp + 1lb clams + potato, corn) $27 - This is what people come here for obviiii! All your seafood and sides are boiled and tossed in your choice of sauce. We got the Good Catch blend sauce, it was good! BUT, it can get a bit too salty and it is EXTREMELY GARLICKY. Yo breath STANK after this. Bring gum to chew on afterwards. This is def a fun and diff way to eat seafood, put your bib and plastic gloves on then get down n dirtttyyyy. Kusshi BC Oyster $2.75 each - Yummy!!! I'm always wary with oysters especially with how fresh they are. These were delish & def very fresh! Served with some fresh grated horseradish as well. Their seafood sauce is on the sweeter side but still works out well. Service was alright. We needed a couple extra minutes to decide what to eat but afterwards it was a bit difficult to flag down our waitress. She also never checked up on us after our food was delivered nor were our waters refilled. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here (despite burping up a stinky dank garlicky storm afterwards)! Not somewhere I could see myself regularly coming because of how salty the sauce is, but once in a while this is a great choice. read more

We came during happy hour before watching a movie at Cineplex. Ordered the Oyster sliders, Catch of the Day Mussels with a side of Okras, and Lobster Roll w/ Salad and Fries. Not very great presentation on them, but I have to say though the oyster sliders were very delicious. Small but packs a punch! Since we ordered the side of Okras, we were left with a lot of the house special sauce (recommended by the waitress). The lobster roll was pretty good too. Many options on the menu to order like chicken wings, lobsters and seafood with plastic gloves for everyone. Fun place for groups and families (could get loud though). Bar vibes at night and a big TV to watch some games. read more

Finally, it's here!! :) I have been seeing this place for months and was wondering when it will be opened. The place has officially opened with a soft opening this week since February 2nd, Still working some kinks here, I think the place is off to a great start. You may think? What, another copycat of Captain Boil?!?! Captain Boil may be the trend setter of opening this type of restaurant in the GTA and in Canada but they are hardly the originator and creator since this type of restaurant has been in existence for a long time down the South. What's so different this place as compared to others? Well, the food is different and the sauce is hardly the same IMHO. Also, the vibe is this place is quite different from other Captain Boil and Boil Bar or other similar restaurants. I went there quickly to check out this place on Thursday and it was impressive. 6000 square feet of massive space and lots of TV's in various size, especially a huge one on one side of the room. It's a great place to hang out, chill and catch some games. The restaurant is quite trendy and modern, with enough spaces to sit a few hundreds people! I love the vibe of this restaurant and how the place didn't go nuts in decorating with seafood artifacts. Variety of seats are offered. There are booths, tables and also high tables and chairs on the sides if you feel like sitting higher. When you walk in, you might be captivated with the big golden Popeye in the middle of the room. Quite cute that I had to take some selfie with Popeye~ AYE!! Here are a few items that I tried on Friday. -Mussels: Big juicy mussels.. Quite a good portion for 1 pound. -Shrimps: Quite a good portion for 1 pound -Cajun Seafood Fried Rice: Comes with Scallops and shrimps (though small ones). I was presently surprised with the rice. I ordered it as I was worried we won't be full from the food but it was a nice portion and the fried rice was good! I expected to be spicy (with two peppers) but it wasn't. -Lobster Roll - Had it hot.. Delicious lobster roll but a tad expensive, leaving you wanting more. Comes with yummy cajun fries and the salad vinaigrette is very zesty!! I will be back again to try more items! There are so much things on the menu and I recommend going with groups of at least 4 people to try more things. The restaurant is also open for lunch on the week-ends so do go check it out and take advantage of the limited 10% discount off promotion on food when you check in with the YELP App. Service is good and the owner Tony asked us for feedback. The restaurant doesn't have a liquor license yet but it won't be long because it's available as I noticed this place is hooked up with some great liquid vendors. The lobster nachos is temporarily not available but will be coming back soon :D read more

There is nothing good at Good Catch. I always order lobster roll and lobster bisque everywhere I go because they are "safe" as it's difficult to mess up those orders. Well, first, the cold-serve lobster roll was not cold (more like room temperature) and it was on a folded toast. FOLDED TOAST!!! $22 for that is insane. And the restaurant can't differentiate between roll and toast. Unacceptable! And the soup... well, it arrived after I finished the lobster "roll". It wasn't even served piping hot. Oh, to make things worse, it took an extra 10 minutes after all that before I received the room-temperature "steamed rice". Never again, at any price. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Went here with a friend and we ordered 2 lbs of clams, 1 salmon poke bowl and 1 fried oyster basket. Everything is delicious. We got garlic butter mild and they were delicious! The seafood in bags format still irks me but I let it roll. Taste was strong and they put a ton of garlic. I loved it. The pokebowl was great, though I think I like Poke Wrap better. The fish here was alright but it didn't scream any flavours at me. Still looked great though! The fried oyster basket came with cajun fries. This was what sealed the deal for me. I cannot handle spicy, but here, they have the cajun flavour but not the fire. It was absolutely delicious, I could have inhaled the whole thing. Total was $63 without tip, which rounds to $32 per person. Not a bad deal considering all the food! I'd love to come back again for sure! read more

So pleasantly surprised by coming here! Just happened to find this place from Googling what's around the area and by the pictures, the food looked amazing. No disappointment; the food not only looks great, but taste delicious too. Pretty empty for lunch on a weekday, no wait, and the space is quite large. The walls and furniture are all decorated with boat theme, you are greeted with a giant popeye's sculpture, chalk work, lifesavers, blue benches, yellow chairs and yellow paint in the washrooms to match. Cohesive ambiance. Shared the oyster slider with my friends, and the oyster was so soft and crispy on the outside. The bun was soft, barely toasted, and the mayo ozzing out, but my favourite part is the thin crispy onion rings-- yum. I got the veggie poke bowl, and let me tell you, this is one of the most visually stunning dishes I have ever seen. I love the fresh flower garnish. There was corn, edaname, diced cucumber, tofu skin, small tangerine slices, avocado, micro greens and seaweed on a bed of brown rice, topped with crispy taro spirals and buttermilk dill sauce. Now, taste wise, there was a nice balance of texture and flavour. Crunchiness and salt from the taro and seaweed, sweetness from the tofu skin and tangerine, creaminess from the avocado and sauce. My favourite was the crispy taro spirals. The fried wings with cajun fries was another stellar dish. The presentation looked so appetizing; the colour of the glaze on the wing was mouthwatering. Maybe because the place has glass walls so you get a lot of natural light, but every picture you take looks incredible. I must mention, from a girl who doesn't like wings, I ate the whole thing-- it was SO GOOD. The sauce has some sweet honey taste and this delicious pepper taste and the meat is not fatty, it's very tender and lean. The fries were also good; thin and small like hickory sticks and crunchy. Not salty and greasy like pub food. I left very full. Awesome place to eat with friends. I recommend the poke bowls and wings. I haven't tried their lobster, but I bet their seafood would be a good try! read more

Came here late and just realized they have the late night special on basket of chicken wings with fries, fried oysters with fries, and mussels. We ordered the oysters which came in 8pcs but they are in smaller size and the waiter did told us that. Also ordered deep fried softshell crab fried rice and 1lb of mussels in house blend. Overall, all the food taste good and fresh. Can't really go wrong with deep fried food. The fried rice was a little blend so we used the leftover house blend sauce from the mussels on the rice and it turns out better. Would come back again and hopefully they'll still have this late night special which I think it's Mon to Thurs from 9pm. read more

We decided to try Good Catch Boil House after a few friends went and recommended it. It was the first "boil" that we've been to. After thinking long and hard about all the plastic that would be used, we went. My hubby said that the plastic bags used are biodegradable but are they just the type that break up into a million tiny plastic pieces? Or are they compostable or made of corn and are truly eco-friendly? I forgot to ask. Other than being bothered by the amount of plastic used (bibs, gloves, bags) the quality of the seafood was quite good. We tried the Good Catch seasoning and it was very tasty especially if you like a bit of spice (Cajun) and loads of garlic! We had the clams and snow crab legs in that flavour. The shrimp was garlic butter flavoured which was also very yummy! I ended up dipping the shrimp into the Good Catch sauce. If you want to avoid plastic, the fish and chips is a good alternative. It is served in a basket with a piece of paper as a liner. The Cajun fries were pretty good. The two generously sized fish pieces were nicely battered (light and crispy). If we do return, I'll avoid the bags by ordering this. For sides, we found the Brussels sprouts to be slightly undercooked and over priced. Corn was ok, perhaps not in season as they had no sweetness. Also $1 for a quarter of a cob wasn't quite worth it either but we need our veggies. Thankfully there was the seasoning to make up for that. All-in-all we liked the flavour but questioned if bags are necessary when the food could be seasoned by other means and placed on plates? I'm sure it wouldn't affect the flavour. I understand that's all the craze now having seafood in bags but what's the environmental impact?? Not sure if we will go back because of this. read more

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

For all the seafood lovers. Good catch couldn't have found a better location to open up this boil house. In the heart of downtown Markham, great space, great staff, overall great experience. Although we came in during lunch hour, it was still pretty lively. Can't go wrong with buck a shuck oysters. Most places do it for happy hour during the week, rarely do you find buck a shuck on the weekends. We ordered a dozen Malpeque oysters and the cold lobster roll, that comes with a side of fries and salad.It was just the perfect amount of food for 2 people. Oysters were exactly what we expected, add some horse radish, cocktail sauce, and a little tabasco, BOMB! The lobster roll was also very fresh, just the right amount of mayo which can easily overpower the lobster itself. Fries are thin cut, really crispy. The only issue that we had was with the caesar salad, it was a little over done with the sauce which was a little off putting. The areas that weren't tossed fully in the sauce was really good though. I will definitely come back, great spot to catch a game or just have to have a drink. I can see this place getting really busy on game night, cheap appetizers, and also 5 dollar craft beers for late nights. read more

I was here during their soft opening. FOOD: 4/5 - This is how this place works: you pick the kind of shellfish from their menu and then choose a flavour to go with it. You could also customize the level of spiciness to suit your taste. Then, your shellfish is boiled in a Cajun-style spice blend and tossed in the flavour you selected. While you're waiting for your food, you could get ready by wearing their plastic bibs and gloves. Because the eating scene could get a little messy. They serve their seafood in clear plastic bags. At first glance, it might look like one of your organic wastes. But once you get your hands (gloves) dirty, you cannot stop! I love their Good Catch Blend sauce! It was so flavourful and garlicky. I wished I didn't have my gloves on so I could lick all the sauce off my fingers! We also had their Cajun sauce and Garlic Butter. Both of these sauces were tasty and complement well with the seafood. To add in the mix, we also ordered some soft shell crab basket and Cajun fries. The restaurant also offers a bit of other non-seafood choices, like sliders, wings and chicken tenders. ENVIRONMENT: 5/5 - The space is open and inviting, with large TV screens everywhere broadcasting sports. I especially appreciate all the little details that they put into their branding and décor. SERVICE: 4/5 - Attentive and friendly. Our server did regular check up on us and took the time to explain the menu to us. Although, she wasn't sure what's on the oyster list when we asked her about it. read more

Lobster roll is to die for!!! You can have it hot with butter or cold with mayo. But you should definitely try both. The portion is small, but that is typical for a lobster roll. Oyster Sliders are also good, but can feel quite heavy and greasy after you've eaten them. The Lobster Nachos are a really good deal because you get a lot of nachos and they do not skimp on the lobster either. I, personally, am not a huge fan of nachos, so that's why it would not be a favourite of mine. And lastly, their signature 'catch,' which is their bags of marinated seafood. Personally, I did not like their Good Catch Blend as much as I like Captain's Boil blend. So I wouldn't normally order this on their menu. All in all, they prepare their seafood in lots of different ways; in burgers, in nachos, and I think they are trying to start selling poke as well. This place is quite good. read more

My first time coming here, and enjoyed it a lot! The soup had a good flavour to it although I would probably try other things on the menu next time. The meal I got still tasted good and was super worth the price as it came with a pineapple bun and a drink! My friend got the poutine in Hong Kong style (also comes with a drink) which was absolutely delicious! I'm definitely getting that next time I come back. This place has good food for a great price! read more

We came here for our anniversary and ordered way too much for two people, but hey the waitress/hostesses were superb and the food were amazing. We ordered the lobster roll, the good catch boil combo with dungeness crab & shrimp, and the soft shell crab basket. The lobster was really really succulent and with the simple butter seasoning really allowed the natural sweetness of the lobster to shine through. The soft shell crab was also really good, and the best part is that we could actually taste the crab itself, as opposed to just an overwhelming batter like some other places we tried (CNE....) Lastly the good catch blend dungeness crab & shrimp was really the star. The mini-potatoes & corn were really good, but the crab was wonderfully seasoned, just a perfect blend of goodness. Surprisingly though, I actually enjoyed the shrimp a little more than the crab, and the little crevices on the shell of the shrimp allowed more flavor to steep in. All in all, one of the better place downtown markham has to offer! read more

Another visit at Good Catch. My first time eating there for lunch. They have the new lunch menu and oysters in special. We order half dozen of Beau Soleil Oysters, Crab Cake Benefit and Tuna poke. Oysters are fresh, they provided you lemon plus 3 type of sauces to try with. Crab Cake benefit was delicious, large piece of crab cake inside and the Benedict cooked perfectly. Tuna Poke are large in portion, all the ingredients are fresh and tasty. Another 5 stars visit at Good Catch. Kawahi can also eat free here! read more

At first when this place opened I thought it was another one of those boil bars where you order seafood, they cook it and you choose choice of sauce. They do have that selection on the menu however they have a lot more than that. They have a good selection of fried seafood as well. Soft shell crab is a must have, either you choose the basket or sandwich, you get the ENTIRE crab!!!! Lobster roll is another recommended choice, the amount of lobster meat overfills your bun. Meat and bun ratio almost 1:1! The atmosphere of the place is amazing, very spacious and tv's everywhere, perfect if you wanna watch the game. They have 18 different craft beer on tap. Although most things are served in disposables, they're still trying to keep it to a minimal by serving drinks in glasses and aluminum cups which are in a barrel shape, that's pretty cool! Definitely worth coming again but groups of 4 or more is recommended, just cause you can try more and different things. read more

[LOCATION] - 4/5 This place is located on Enterprise Blvd and Birchmount Rd. The location is convenient because it's right beside Cineplex Cinemas Markham and VIP. On the other hand, I had trouble finding a spot because dinner + movies was such a popular activity-of-choice on Saturday nights. Try parking underground, and be prepared to walk a bit to get to the front entrance. [SERVICE] - 5/5 The hostess was very friendly, our server checked up on us quite often and was courteous enough let us know that the chef took a little longer than expected to prep our food. [DÉCOR] - 5/5 Bright, modern, but still kept the marine-theme with the ocean-blue booths and fisherman-esque décor. I also had fun eating with my hands, relax, and enjoy a casual dinner. [QUALITY] - 4/5 The lobster tasted pretty fresh, nachos were crispy, and melted cheese was creamy. [ORDER] - 5/5 - Nachos (Add Lobster) - $29.95: Nachos were $14.95 and I decided to add lobster for $15.00, which was definitely a good deal! The dish had colourful nacho chips, topped ooey-gooey cheese, jalapeno peppers for some acidity, and nachos and cream cheese dip on the side. The portion was so huge, and I would definitely recommend this to share with your friends. [OVERALL] - 4/5 The lobster nachos were amazing, but I personally don't think their seafood by the pound is worth the price if you're extra hungry. I do recommend pairing the seafood their sides or sharing the lobster nachos with multiple people. Overall, Good Catch Boil House is a great place for a casual night-out, and some good-quality seafood. read more
