Delicious takeout! I luv the grilled white fish! 2 meaty fillets on rice n I got double fresh veggies. Good amount of veggies with sautéed onions, squash, spinach red n yellow peppers n mushrooms, yum, yum! Also comes with 2 hush puppies n garlic bread slice. My last review, 2 yrs ago, I slammed them for a terrible takeout but so glad I gave them another try. Great job! read more

We got food for take-out early on a Saturday evening. The bar was packed and had some pretty loud guests - I'm glad we weren't eating there. Overall decent food but overpriced in my opinion. $53 for Chicken Tacos & the Catch 22. The chicken tacos were filling. My husband enjoyed his fried fish and hush puppies. They serve a large portion of fries with each meal but unfortunately they went in the trash because they were overly seasoned with an inedible level of salt. read more

The Catch - Arlington - Seafood Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Food was quick to come to the table! Service was great and the food was nice and hot! I love the tea here it's the right amount of sweet!

I stopped here on my way from forth worth yesterday. I forgot I reviewed them previously and rated them a one star previously. I decided to give them another chance. It was even worse. Ordered the shrimp and oysters fried and French fries . I explained to them that last order was old and cold . I picked my order up and headed home to eat it . Wow it was even worse. Salty and oh my goodness horrible . I called the manager and was told she was aware that the frying batter was salty. I asked what the return policy was if there were options and was told she couldn't do anything about it. I asked so you are telling me that sorry for me but you're going to do nothing after talking with her she finally showed some respect. I came in Sunday after church and brought the food and it was a complete mess the young lady at the counter was very rude why are talking with me like this. I just want an option . She told me she was busy and didn't have time to talk or deal with me . Wow . She was acting as if I stole the food. It was offensive and demeaning. I can only tell you this isn't a good place. I was finally given a refund by a district manager who apologized for the inconvenience and behavior of the employees. The Catch in Mansfield he informed me is now closed. I don't know if this location will fair much better. The cashier identified her self as Kat. Noe refunded money and again apologized for the inconvenience and behavior. I assured him it wasn't about money it was the service and treatment by staff . Businesses are closing every where these are difficult times and I want to do my part to ensure as many people as I can stay employed.Use your people skills. Ty Noe for showing me respect and offering me other options. read more

The Catch - Arlington - Fried gator, Catch Fries, Grilled Catfish USA Farm Raised - Seafood Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Food was perfect as usual. The help was friendly, and the atmosphere was enjoyable for date night with the wife. Love the gator tail!

Really bad service at this location. I called in an order around 12 PM and went inside after 20 mins to go pick it up. There was a customer sitting at the bar, other than that, no customers. I stood at the counter for 8 mins, I made eye contact with several employees but not a single time was I approached or even greeted. I went to the bar to ask the bartender if she could help me, and she told me to keep waiting where I had been waiting. I then realized that I hadn't spent any money there yet, and left. Believe it or not, this is the 2nd time this has happened at this location. I highly doubt I'm the only person that has experienced this. The owner doesn't know how much business he's losing because his staff is terribly lazy read more

I purchased my order tonight near 7:45 to 8 pm.. The delivery guy from Uber eats was awesome. The food was hot and fresh. But once I tasted it, the food seemed rushed. It was heavily seasoned, very salty. I've never gotten a bad dish from The Catch before. My entree was rushed. I hope to get a better experience next time. I was very hungry and hadn't eaten since 2pm. They forgot my cookie also. The sweet taste of the cookie would've curved this salty attack.... Next time the catch. I couldn't even finish my food sent I'm super hungry still read more

The Catch - Arlington - Seafood Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Delicious food.... No wait time, food was cooked correctly... price was fine. It is located in a great location.

I have nothing bad to say about this place. First off, it was a DoorDash order so I can't specify the cleanliness of the interior but the food was on point!!! I ordered the fried shrimp combo (add $2 if you want the large). The combo came with 8 shrimp and fries, 2 hush puppies, tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. No drink drinks are extra. I paid $14.99 plus taxes. Everything was seasoned well. I'll be placing another order in the near future. read more

Overpriced. Order was incorrect. Lacks flavor. Also was lacking in quality of seafood. Some were dead prior to cooking. Very disappointed.

**One Star: A Complete Disaster** Where do I even begin with this trainwreck of an experience? First off, the place *looked* clean enough when we walked in, but there was this overpowering musky odor in the air--definitely *not* the familiar smell of seafood. I'm not sure what it was, but it was enough to make you second guess whether you even wanted to eat there. Things went downhill fast when one of my coworkers asked for extra sauce. Apparently, this set off the manager, who had the personality of a wet napkin. He scowled and made some sarcastic remark like, "Well if we put any more sauce, it'll be swimming in it, and you don't want that." My coworker insisted, explaining that her last dish was dry, and he begrudgingly agreed. The result? He didn't just add some sauce. No, he made sure her dish was absolutely *swimming* in it. Then, moments later, some girl from behind the counter came over with a *styrofoam cup* full of even more sauce, saying, "We just wanted to make sure you had enough." Really? It felt more like a slap in the face for asking for something as simple as extra sauce. And the sauce itself was horrendous--creamy, overly spiced, and just disgusting. It was like they just dumped a bunch of Cajun seasoning in cream and called it a day. I ordered two clusters of crab legs, and if the $8.99 price tag didn't warn me enough, the sad, shriveled crab legs themselves should've. These were probably the most pitiful, emaciated crab legs I've ever seen. They were boiled to death, and the tiny claws that had already cracked before they went in the water made it impossible to eat the meat. There was zero flavor, except for a vague aftertaste of whatever "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning they tossed on there. But wait--there's more! The absolute cherry on top of this entire nightmare was the manager's meltdown over a *dog*. Yes, a woman walked in with a golden retriever, and while the dog was obviously not a service animal (I mean, come on, the dog looked like it had just come from the dog park), my coworker, being a dog lover, asked if she could pet it while waiting for her food. The dog owner agreed, and the next thing we know, this manager comes charging out of the back like we just set the place on fire, screaming, "NO NO STOP YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Apparently, this genius thought you couldn't pet any dogs indoors because of food codes (whatever that means). My coworker, clearly embarrassed, sat down, and moments later, this guy came back with a half-hearted apology about how only service dogs and ESAs are allowed indoors and they can't be petted. At this point, I'd had enough. I pointed out to him that emotional support animals (ESAs) aren't held to the same standards as service animals and that he could've just asked the owner what the dog was trained for, but of course, he insisted I was wrong and tried to lecture me about laws he clearly didn't understand. I gave up at that point because it was obvious I was dealing with someone who was more concerned about being "right" than actually knowing what they were talking about. To sum up: disgusting food, an unpleasant atmosphere, and the absolute worst service I've encountered in a long time. Do yourself a favor--skip this place, save your money, and your tastebuds. Honestly, you'd probably be better off licking a shoe than eating here. read more

We've been trying to catch the oysters in stock for a while now .. we called and the had the Oysters Rockefeller left ... we were wanting the charbroiled oysters but at this point we couldn't pass them up !! The Oysters were outstanding and we are every last one of them !! The mahi-mahi was kind of bland so we had to add some sauce and stuff to make it a little better so we could finish the meal .. read more

My husband enjoys the catfish and fried shrimp meal, but that is the only thing here that is worth eating - everything else is bland. I've tried a few of the po' boy sandwiches and every time I remember why I wasn't dying for the next time - they're just average at best. My son had the Cajun shrimp pasta which tasted like no seasoning other than a sprinkle of Cajun. It's not worth the money to eat here unless you prefer bland food. Disclaimer - I do not wish ill on this business. My husband will still get the catfish on occasion, but I feel it's important to know details about flavor when you're trying new places and will not get food from here again. That's what Yelp is for.... One more thing, regardless of how you feel about tipping, my husband chose not to tip for our carry out. However, a tip was magically added after he left. We didn't call the manager, but please pay attention to your charge after the fact. read more

Birthday Month for my sponsor. Started off with a little spice. Shrimp and Grits is her go-to meal with red beans and rice. I opted for the catfish - poor boy.

So thankful that my friend agreed to come here. Now, I can fill you in on some things. For starters, The Catch was not a catch. Lol. The service was good but the food was dry and tasteless. Let me explain some things. We came here after church. It was like, 12:15pm. So when, we walked in, there was a mature crowd and most of the tables were filled. The crowd seemed to dressed businesses casual so, it seemed like it was the Church crowd. The youngsters were chilling by the bar. They also have a nice patio but, no one was utilizing it. I ordered the Three piece Chicken Strips with Fries. It seemed like, it was a lot more than three pieces. There was also an overloaded serving of Fries. Despite the surplus amount of portions, the strips and fries were flavorless. They needed some sort of salt or seasoning. The Ranch Dressing was tasty and helped out a little bit. The Chicken strips were nice and hot but, the fries were old. The Hush puppies were so good. The were very thick and hearty with lots of crispiness. I can see why these are so popular. I left alot on my plate and right as I was about to toss it, my friend sweetly said, can I have that? I'll take this to my dog. I wonder if her dog ate it. Lol. She also said, " I'll keep the fries for myself. Lol. This actually made my day. It made me feel, like I was helping out. I got to help a friend, maybe her dog and I was blessed to have something to eat. As I mention the service was good. It was actually impressive! The girl at the register was really pretty. She had real pretty dark skin and a cute afro puff hair style that complimented her face nicely. She made sure she got my order right. Later, a short Hispanic lady, cheerfully brought our order to our table and made sure we got what we ordered. Later, my sweet friend was thinking of her Mom and ordered her Mom Red beans to go. I'm sorry. When someone says Red Beans, I think of the song, Baby, Got Back. By Sir-Mix- Alot. Lol. Am I the only one? Well, anyway. Another employee, who had makeup that resembled Amy Winehouse brought my friend's to go order out. She sweetly said, Red Beans? Oh and it's really cute in there. They have the Costal Vibes going on. It like a way nicer version of Long John's Silver's and Captain D's. It's painted blue to resemble the ocean and has the blue and white checkered table cloths. This place is conveniently located off the Interstate Maybe you can catch it some time? I enjoyed their service, Hushpuppies and the ambiance. I'm willing to try another menu you item because, the prices were reasonable. read more

I used to love this place, now there is new crew of cashiers who are fake friendly and get irate with customers if THE CASHIER makes a mistake. They blame you even if you are polite to them. On a separate occasion, I witnessed an older lady politely ask a cashier how much longer of a wait would it be because she had waited over 40 minutes for her order. The cashier rudely said..."so do you just want a refund" and became argumentive with the woman who was being nice. The last straw for me was when a cashier messed up another order of mine and when I took it back to the store, the cashier rudely told me that's what I had ordered on the phone. The item was something that I didn't even eat (even if they gave it to me for free). Why not assume that you heard the order wrong due to noise in the background or whatever, why be rude? Another thing is they should have a better system for people who oreder via the phone because when you do get to the store, you have to wait in a long line if they are busy and by the time you actually get to the cashier, your food is cold. There is no second line or a sign for a pickup orders for customers to advance to if they have already ordered. Now, I am choosing to no longer go to this place because I just can't take the bad attitudes and leaving upset. I want to have a pleasurable experience when I pay this amount of money for food. Especially with the increase in prices at these restaurants. I rather cook at home and enjoy my food. read more

Fast-food style ordering, menu is above & around the cashier, you seat yourself, they bring the food to you. The food was NOT really Cajun/Louisiana style, as I expected. My grilled white fish was ok, mostly salt & pepper, didn't have that Cajun flavor/seasoning that I expected. The popcorn shrimps were pretty good, again not the expected cajun flavor. The shrimp etouffe was more like stir-fry shrimp with salt, pepper, & bell pepper, doesn't have that Louisiana roux sauce, but it wasn't bad. The fries were good. They DON'T ALWAYS HAVE OYSTERS, so call first before planning to go there for oysters. The service was a bit disorganized. One person in was told that beer was going to be delivered to the table, just to find that it was sitting on the counter for a while. Then, when she asked about a missing side that's supposed to be included with the meal, a waitress insisted that she wasn't charged for that side (although the menu clearly states that meals come with 2 sides), until a manager stepped in. Everyone liked their food otherwise, just don't expect authentic Cajun food. The service was a bit disorganized. read more

First time at this establishment, we were craving for seafood. This place it's like walking to a Whataburger, you order and pay and get a number, you get your own fountain drink, choose a place to eat, sit and wait for food to arrive. We were so hungry that we ordered appetizers. Unfortunately all food comes together, no appetizer ahead of your main dish. First things first: For the Appetizer we ordered a cup of Shrimp Etouffee, and a cup of Shrimp crawfish and sausage gumbo. The Shrimp Etouffee was fine(plenty of shrimp in it), the gumbo on the other hand was too watery, a little salty, and "Black", (like a bowl of black beans). I never had black gumbo. I read that if you overcook the okra or cook on cast iron, it can happen. It had white rice, okra, and maybe 4 pieces of shrimp or crawfish. The shrimp and grits, the instant grits were good, tasty, buttery, lightly cheesy, the grilled shrimp were just added on top, but they were good and tasty. The green beans, sadly were salty and I could taste "the metal can", they had a bunch of small chunks of smoked ham, maybe too much, that could have made them overly salty. The cole slaw was good, just the way I like it, crunchy and a little sweet (similar to KFC) The Fried Oysters Po'Boy was done right. But we ordered it with Sweet Potato Fries, unfortunately they were really really salty. We will be back to try other dishes next time. read more

Let me start with the service and food- Lori was a great bartender / waitress. She acknowledged she was new and still figuring things out- she was busy and she did great. Food was delicious, salad was fresh and fish was freshly cooked and delicious. Now the upsetting part- after paying for my check and signing the receipt, these slime balls added an additional 3.5% to my final receipt... when asked- they say it's a credit card usage fee- why not tell me that upfront... don't be sneaky and a jack-bird. I always leave a good decent tip which rounds up my total--- instead of $26.49- I rounded up to include a $5.51 tip for total of $32.00 (21% tip calculation. I don't need you to then add 3.5% ($1.12) to what I've already paid without my knowledge after the bill is paid. this was straight shady... they call this an non-cash adjustment- don't adjust jack squat without telling me first. I would've paid cash and avoided your bull-corn adjustment... it's a small amount but tell me- be straight, be upfront and honest... I know- that's a lot to ask in 2023. Otherwise- food and service was great. read more

4 stars because the fries were disgusting! Not sure if restaurants know they need to change out their oil after frying for hours on hours. But to be fair the shrimp po boy was good and the gumbo was to die for. I will return. read more

Food was meh. Grilled oysters, first batch was burned so was never served. 2nd batch didn't arrive until nearly an hour after our order and after everyone else had eaten - terrible service in that they couldn't be bothered to provide us with status of order without us having to walk up to the register multiple times. We were their second customers as they opened, with a floor so dirty our shoes stuck to it as we walked throughout. Very disappointed... we will not be back. read more

My wife and I visited this establishment for the first time yesterday and had a pleasant experience. Food was great, service was even better, thank you Jayley! We ordered at the front, then the young lady brought our food out, and asked if she could get us anything else. When I explained that I had completely forgotten to ask the young man we ordered from to add a couple of extra sauces to our order, she quickly assured us it was not a problem and that she would bring them out to us. She was very polite and always had a smile on her face, even checking on us again to ensure we were happy with our meals. My wife said she could tell that she enjoyed her job and I agree, It was delightful to see younger people really taking pride in their work! I ordered the shrimp and catfish basket which came with french fries and 2 hush puppies, it was delicious and not a bad price either! My wife got their fried whitefish basket with green beans and she very much enjoyed it. We can't wait to visit again soon read more

I stop in there at least once a week. That Arlington location feels like a established long time friend. Gumbo and chowder with 6 blackened shrimp and a cold beer are my goto items! Always good. The catch is a large company but it drives me nuts they do not invest in their locations systems my example, their phones are always busy, some locations phone numbers don't work and there is no online order system that works. I would order lunch today but they did not answer the phone. And the web link for online sux. Management needs to get their order systems upgrades and working with OpenTable and uber eats and all order formats! But if you're close by one of their many locations definitely worth a visit! Do better corporate! read more

The Catch - Arlington - My kid watching me drink a beer - Seafood Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I was super excited about this spot opening up in an area that has otherwise seen several establishments give it a shot over the past couple of years to no avail. Unfortunately, I feel like this one may suffer the same fate. The seafood here seems totally overpriced to me for the quality and portions. It is perfectly average in terms of flavor and menu options but sometimes your food doesn't come fresh, sometimes you get less pieces of certain items and it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth when there are other options (like Pappadeaux) less than 20 minutes away where you can expect some more consistency and generous platters. The parking lot and patio still seem pretty full when I drive by so things may have changed since my last visit but I likely will not return. read more

Have you ever tasted food from New Orleans? This tastes nothing like that. The only reason this review gets 3 stars is because the charbroiled oysters and fried shrimp were amazing. They were absolutely delicious. What was not delicious was everything else. We ordered a lot of things incluing: Shrimp etouffee- I couldn't even get through 25% of it because it was that terrible. Half and Half- the fried shrimp portion of this meal was great but the other half was etouffee so that ruined this. Oysters on a half shell- great, but these are fool proof Charbroiled oysters- amazing. Hurricane - this could have been a eleven slurpee. read more

I were quite disappointed in the meal. 1st time here and we read the reviews and were expecting so much more, but it kind of all fell flat. I ordered the Shrimp Half Half; which came with an order of shrimp etouffee and either fried or grilled shrimp. Hard to judge how many shrimp I would get, but I got like 4 pieces of fried shrimp and maybe 6 popcorn shrimp sized shrimp on the etouffee. Fried shrimp was fine, wish it came with more, the etouffee was just ok, felt like it lacked flavor and spice. It also came with hush puppies, which tasted just ok. Very dense and very doughy. I was given a choice of two sides, got fries and the cheesy grits. Fries are fries, the grits were ok, not very cheesy and a very salty. 2/5 We also got a cup of the clam chowder. My wifes initial reaction was that it was very salty and not in the good seafood way. 1/5 My wife also got a half pound of shrimp and pound of crawfish boil. The shrimp tasted as if it was just boiled in plain tap water, no flavor whatsoever. The crawfish on the other hand had more flavor and spice. The amount of shrimp also did not look like it was half a pound, looked closer to a quarter. 2/5 We also got an order of the fried oysters. Theres not much flavor to them, thats all my wife wanted to say about that. 1/5 All in all, this place is just ok, I'm sure there are plenty of people that enjoy this based on the reviews, we possibly have gotten food on a bad night for trhe cook? Who knows. With plenty other places to try and choose from, this might not be a place for us to return to. Not to say that you should not give it a try, you may like this. The customer service was great which was a positive. read more
