Reviews of The Great Catch - Zephyrhills
Michelle Giraud
Cute place! I love the outdoor eating area with the tiki bar! The food was really good, I had the seafood casserole and it was filled with fish, shrimp & scallops in a creamy sauce. The yellow rice was the perfect side with this! I added on a salad for $2.99 and it was crisp, good & refreshing. My partner had the all you can eat fried shrimp, which came with fries & coleslaw. He ended up with 3 orders which was well worth the cost!. Waitress was in the ball & friendly. Highly recommend!
Markus Wells
This place is busy for a reason! Well worth the wait. Friendly and attentive staff, but the food...wow! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and very well prepared. Much respect to the kitchen staff. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

This is probably one of the best kept secrets in Zephyrhills! They had live entertainment when we went , and the service and food were amazing. The outdoor dining experience is very unique and their mix of southern cuisine as well as great make sure and fresh seafood. May the experience a very well worth the travel!
Jorge Soto
I have dined here several times over the years but tonight I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that they expanded the outside seating are and screened it all in so it's bug free. I have enjoyed every meal I have had here so far. Tonight I tried a new dish called the seafood casserole[see picture]. It was light and the seafood was fresh.

Came in over the weekend and had lunch with my family. I ordered a basket with chicken tenders and calamari, my husband got the all-you-can eat crab leg special and his grandparents had coconut shrimp. Everything was really tasty! Lori, our server was pretty timely and very friendly. I’m not from Florida, but I would definitely come back!
Lynn Ringis
The oysters were good. When they had them.
Servers were awesome!
Other menu items were “ok”.
Live entertainment is hot or miss- some very good, others…not so much.
Our first visit was so good that we went back a few days later.
Second visit was less impressive.
Not bad but definitely not as good as we had remembered.

Went in there today on a Saturday noon lunch pit stop on a recommendation from a friend. Got 24, oysters, gator bites, buffalo shrimp and some beers. Great oysters, cold, fresh, nice sizes, good tastes. Gator bits were great, Buffalo shrimp amazing. Great atmosphere, good service and clean restrooms. Definitely coming back.
Monique Robinson
Had the coconut shrimp and catfish which was delicious and fresh. Our waiter was super sweet and helpful! Took stars off because the greeter offered us to sit in or outside, we chose in but after she offered to seat us right next to the bathroom we asked our waiter to ask if we could sit outside since there was open tables and the waiter said the greeter declined. There was flies inside we had to swat and the table we had to clean off which was a bummer. But overall great food!
Tiffany Murphy
I came here with my mom. She loves sea food me not so much. I ordered the jumbo mild chicken wings which were very good they come breaded or none breaded. Very large wings . i also ordered the hush puppies which are amazing and made home made. My mom got fried calamari and mahi mahi she thought they were both good just lacking a little seasoning. We both ordered a hot coffee to drink since it was chilly out . The service was amazing we never waited for anything from being seated to receiving our food . we spend roughly $60 and that included a $12/tip .
Dennis Feltwell
A hidden gem in Zephyrhills! Never been there before, but now I wonder why I never heard of it!
The outdoor seating interacts with the natural world around and within the space. We were under cover, yet a tree was growing right next to the table. 🌳
Food was delicious. Portions, generous. Prices, reasonable. Service, outstanding! We'll definitely return... I have a list of dishes I'd like to try! 😋
Deborah Mallek
Went here with our grandchildren ages 5 & 3. The kids did great & They loved the food. Chicken tenders for one and linguini for the other. Large kids meals portions and enough fries to share if you have a couple little ones. We went on a Saturday night and it was busy! The portions were large. The grilled fish was tasty. The scallops and clam strips combo were a hint of sweetness and was moist and very good. A huge portion. The service was great. We will be back!
Carroll Smith
Jessica was really pleasant and attentive. First time I came here and I love it. Drinks are great. I asked Jessica to surprise me with a sour drink and she made the best one ever. Their fish and chips were fantastic and the environment good. Definitely coming back.
Jim Schowalter
Great service. Stacey was very nice, informative and attentive. She suggested the "all you can eat" shrimp meal (special on Monday) and I got both blackened and buffalo style. I liked the blackened the best but both were good.
My wife opted for clam strips mixed with fried oysters. She liked the oysters but the clam strips were a little bit over done.
Both meals were under $20, beers were about $5 for a pint.
Denise Heath
Flavorful and Filling ~ I LOVE the Blackened Mahi Mahi bites basket with Old Bay fries (or opt for green beans) and coleslaw. Jay gets the Boston scrod platter, which has a delicious mild taste and dense flaky texture. They have covered outdoor and patio outdoor seating areas, which flank the stage and the resident parrots. Setting the tone for a toe tapping gathering with friends and family is live music by Andy Heath Music, who is a talented Guitarist/Vocalist showcasing a wide range of tunes from standards to current favorites (and yes, he is my son!) Worth our 2 hour drive to this local hot spot, thanks for your excellent service with a smile Gaskin S and the Great Catch team!

I stopped by here after a trip to Brookeville and was pleasantly surprised just off the road. It's one of these places that don't look like much but so glad you stopped.
I had the big platter which included frog legs, catfish, gator bites and hush puppies!! I ordered the fries and coleslaw as my side and it was all delicious (my wife stole my gator bites they were the most tender she’s ever tasted!)
My wife had the blackened baza fish with coleslaw and rice in which she was happy with as well.
Service was good and nice comfortable atmosphere inside and out.
Laura Breau
This was a find. Very good food, I had the grouper sandwich, no bread, and fries, coleslaw. Very good
Had to add to my last review.
The food here is so good.
This last time with our food. We had frog legs. Taste like a chicken and a fish had a baby. That's what they say.
Love the Grouper. My Husband loves the Full belly clams,,and clam chowder...
Gotta show love ❤️ to the Beautiful Birds too....
Janis Murphy
Our waitress was great-wish I remembered her name. The frozen drink had little flavor. Was there alcohol in it? My soup was good and hot. My entree was not to my liking, but there was nothing wrong with it. It is just personal taste, but the waitress removed it from my bill. I will go back, but sit outside next time.
Sandra Willis
One had cheeseburger platter, one had haddock, one had calamari and the fourth person had shrimp and haddock. We also ordered onion rings. I am not fond of french fries as they are normally limp and greasy, but not here. Everything was hot, crisp and delicious!! Service was also excellent. This restaurant is about forty minutes away from home and well worth the drive. Our entire party agreed that we will be back often.
Kathy B
We had lunch here with a large group (about 15) divided over 2 tables, each with 1 server. My fried haddock sandwich was excellent, a generous portion cooked perfectly. The roll reminded me of a fresh bakery roll, soft & delicious. Cole slaw was good. I gave only 4 stars because service was sub-par. I asked for no fries but got them anyway which seems to be common here. One person ordered all you can eat catfish and the second helping took over 20 minutes to come out (everyone else was finished & leaving). We'd like to go back with a smaller party and see if service is better.

Fresh raw oysters, and a captains plate. Food was good, a little pricey but good. Awesome wait staff. Margarita was void of alcohol, but bud light was good to finish off the meal. Live entertainment was great and the overhead monitor speakers were amazing.
Shelly S
Excellent choice for Seafood if you find yourself in Zephyrhills, Fl.
There was a live singer who was great. Sat in the outside patio. Waitress was nice, not in a hurry. Peel n eat shrimp as appetizer was very good, shrimp were tender. Fried basket with catfish & sea scallops = Excellent! First time visit and would def go Again :)
Dannielle Roberts
Fried Green Tomatoes grilled grouper with sweet potatoes fries, shrimp scampi plantains and yellow rice. Gator bites...all amazing 😊 …
Kenneth Smith
Great food , done right. Mickey was our server. She was attentive and explained the questions we had about the items on the menu with detail. We had shrimp, crab cakes,scallops, clam chowder and assorted cocktails. Well worth the price. ENJOY
Monique
Great place for seafood! We got there about 5:15 and outside seating already had a long wait list. Inside still has seating, so the 2 of us got a table right away. I got the blackened shrimp with sweet potato fries & plantain. WOW! Well seasoned and cooked just right. It's served in a pewter dish (the Boston touch) that keeps it warm to the last bite. Plantain & fries were delicious. Hubs got the Fisherman's Platter...the plate was loaded with fried goodness! I don't usually like clam strips, but these were so tender. He said he enjoyed it all & had plenty of leftovers. They had live music when we got there. After it stopped, I think some karaoke started up. Friendly staff & good service!
PJ Beaudry
Had the crab cake sandwich (really only wanted one full-size cake, left the “fixings”) and clam chowder, both of which were good. Took advantage of their Thursday “kids eat free with purchase of entree” deal, which was a great deal for our family. Music and atmosphere were calm, nice evening to eat out on the patio.
William Letchworth
Move over Red Lobster! This place was pretty cool! Down home friendly folks serving Delicious food on the outdoor deck with beautiful peach face love birds singing along with the Talented guitar playing from a Kind Gentleman and a Sweet young lady. A great evening shared with local people who expressed there love for the place with a smile!👍
Mindy Broom
This was a great place while passing thru to dine. We were skeptical with the 4.2 stars, but glad we took the chance. The oysters were amazing. The hush puppies...yeah..the best I've had in a long time. Entertainment was fun, too. Great crowd and amazing bartender, Stacy.
Karen Phillips
I would always pass by this restaurant and say it's always busy. I never knew it was a seafood restaurant until I looked it up. On Friday cuz my first time beer and I ordered a fisherman seafood platter. The food was excellent. I had enough food for 3 days but I ended up sharing the food with my daughter and her boyfriend. I would definitely go back to this place...❤️❤️❤️
Thomas Baker
If you're looking for a patio seafood shack in Zephyrhills this is it. Complete with cat's parrots music and a patio bar.
Joe Ackerman
Food was excellent and the servers were extremely friendly, but the food came out very slowly. We had reservations for 6 pm, but didn't get out of there until after 8. Wouldn't have been a problem, but we had Littles with who were very hungry. Would definitely go back though!
Tammy Hummel
Good experience. Live music and nice atmosphere. Started with oysters and peel and eat shrimp (Ate some shrimp before photo). Both good, then grouper sandwich and garden salad. Fries were seasoned well. Portion was generous. Full bar, clean bathrooms.
Irene Bacall
AWESOME Baked beans, coleslaw, crab legs, fisherman's platter, GREAT SERVICE! ESPECIALLY GREAT SERVICE FROM A YOUNG MAN WHOSE GAME ESCAPES ME I WISH I COULD REMEMBER IT! What a great meal and a great price plenty of servings you need to eat at the great catch! We can eat outside or inside. I chose inside and I'm glad I did. You definitely have to try this out because you will not, in my opinion, be disappointed and you definitely will not no no no no no no disappointments! Delicious delicious delicious and I was lucky enough to go on all you can eat crab leg night. There is no specific night for that they're just trying it out and boy was I glad I hit it! I know where I'm going to eat my seafood from now on!
Devika Shivpersaud
This place is one the best hidden gems in Zephyrhills. The Atlantic Haddock was very fresh and served piping hot. The Kickin Asian shrimp was tasty as well - almost like a sweet chili oil. Outdoor seating was nice but there were flies I had to keep swatting. The Pama Rita left a lot to be desired so stick with beer if you desire a drink with dinner.
Carla Denzien
Had pick 2. Gator bites and shrimp, was soooo good. Best coleslaw I've ever had. French fries were cooked perfectly and tasted great.
Definitely going back. Want to try everything.
Joyce Johnson-Bendowski
Got a fried fish and gator basket with fries. Breading on fish was very thick so I peeled it off and ate just the white fish. I've had gator before so I know how it's supposed to taste. This one was very dry and chewy. Ugh.
My friend got fried fish and shrimp. She had same complaints as me.
Got my hubby a take out order of grilled grouper and his was delicious!
Mohamed Mohamed
The food is good and atmosphere is excellent. The restaurant was very busy when I had dinner. It took one hour and 20 minutes to get our orders. The fish was overcooked. The bushing was larger than I expected. Kids eat free on Thursday, which is very good options for families with kids
Elenora Rosevelt
Best coleslaw & baked beans I've ever tasted! Awesome service from a young man who's name I didn't hear, but he checked on everyone frequently. GO & ENJOY A GREAT MEAL !!!
jacquelyn godfrey
The seafood platter was awesome with the exception of the scallops. They advertise like Boston. I’m from Boston for some reason the batter keeps falling off the scallops. I have been there 4 times, each time I ordered a plate and alway get the scallops . Each time that I went there on different days the scallops are the same. I’m hoping that one day they get the scallops right, they are one of my favorites !
I don’t know why the batter doesn’t stay on . I miss my scallops from Boston
Rebecca Smith
The hostess and bartender were super, the beer was cold, but the calamari was ... well... maybe not calamari. My fault for not paying attention to the "fries" part of calamari fries. The Mahi was a little overcooked and so were the sweet potato fries. We won't go back.

If you're ever in the Zephyrhills, FL area and you want some great food .. this is the place to go .. a fun casual place with a nice atmosphere and amazing food .. indoor and outdoor dining .. we drove almost 25 miles to come here and it was worth every mile .. this was our 1st time here .. but definitely not our last .. this is now our go to place when we come to FL .. our server Kim was just as sweet as she could be and was extremely helpful with the menu .. and she spaced out our appetizers and dinner order just right .. we had oysters on the half shell - delicious (hard to find back home), fried gator bites - tender and cooked to perfection - amazing, best hush puppies I've ever had - oh so delicious, lobster scampi over linguine - loaded with lobster and shrimp scampi over linguine - loaded with shrimp - pasta was cooked perfect on both dishes and came with garlic bread - fantastic .. fried shrimp dinner with 2 sides - shrimp are breaded with just the right amount of breading - wonderful .. they have live music every night and karaoke on Tuesday .. check them out .. you'll be glad you did .. I know we are .. and the prices are very reasonable ..
Justin Gregory
Had a great dinner with the family here. Live music, great food, excellent service. I had the clam strips and catfish, both were good, but the catfish was exceptionally great!
David Herold
Good food if you like fish. The entertainment was awesome
Service was slow. We have eaten there before and understood service was slow. Still a good experience.
Richard Fischer
We remembered that we had a good meal the last time we were here so were decided to give it another try. We walked in and we were greeted by several servers with a smile and a welcome. It was a beautiful day so were asked for a seat in the outdoor patio. Our server, Tammy, took our drink order and gave us some suggestions that were her favorite dishes. I ordered the Fisherman's platter and it was huge. Had shrimp, clams, scallops, haddock, slaw, fries and onion rings. All lightly breaded and served hot and delicious. My wife got the haddock basket with fries and slaw. Outstanding food, outstanding service. If you enjoy a wide variety of seafood I would suggest you give the Great Catch a try.
Jesus Baez
Juice was our server, lovely person. We started with a white zinfandel and yuengling beer for yours truly. Ordered fried green tomatoes, very good. First entree was grilled scallops with yellow rice and veggies accompanied by house made Coleslaw, excellent! Second order fried shrimps, French fried potatoes, also house cut and finally onion rings all served with fresh tarter sauce and ketchup. Awesome!
I ordered a piña colada which was DOA. The owner offered to make it himself and it was passable. Properly made drinks are a draw to a restaurant. A professional needs to make the drinks even in a family restaurant. Desert was a huge piece of chocolate cake, if I had eaten the whole thing I would be napping underneath the table. Good experience for a land locked location. I shall return!
Shannon Eaton
It was a pretty good place to eat. My parent's have been there a few times but it was my son and I's first time. We sat outside because the weather was perfect.
Night Seawolf
From Miami staying about a week and on our last day found this gem! Great service and great food! Alexis our waitress was 👏 amazing! Live band and the bird sings to some of the tunes. My husband and I went for a late lunch/early dinner and about 90% of the guest were seniors but all of them were full of zest and energy. Many couples would get up and dance as the band played! I highly recommend if in Zephyrhills you go to THE GREAT CARCH!! LARGE TV AND BIG BAR. OUTSIDE DINING UNDER TIKI AREA, ANOTHER OPEN AREA WITH UMBRELLAS AND THEY ALSO HAVE INDOOR DINING. I am vegetarian but they did have plenty for me to choose from.
Drew Haas
The all-you-can-eat catfish Sundays is not to be missed 😋
Tom Atkins
Food was both reasonably priced and very good. Outside looks a bit rough, but inside is ok, with nice patio. Staff very attentive but a bit slow.
Isabel Hancock
This place is amazing. Went on a Saturday for all you can eat baha. Amazing vibe, live music, 10/10. You will definitely love this place. We stop and even detour to eat here everytime we drive through the area!
Leslie K
Definitely a DIAMOND in the ruff! It’s in a small kinda country(but building up) town by the name of Zephyrhills that we just recently moved to and needless to say...there isn’t many great restaurants let alone one with gator or seafood. BUT LET ME TELL YOU!!! This place was everything! Alexis was our waitress and she couldn’t have made us feel more comfortable also helping with recommendations as it was our first time eating there last night but they will see me,my husband, and my family there often now that we have found our GEM!!! I love this place, I have a very sensitive stomach to fried things and seafood that isn’t fresh. I HAD NOT ON ACHE OR CRAMP TO MY TUMMY. This was so delicious that when the check came..we were confused to how we had gotten so much food for so little. Mixed culture and very dope vibes. Live music, outdoor seating. Anyway. That’s enough. EAT THERE!! ❤️❤️❤️😘
Jon Price
This place is absolutely amazing. Great environment, staff, & don't get ke started on the food... best gator bites I've ever had. We've been back almost every night since our first time here all week.
Judi Baeli
I ordered the grilled salmon with the plantains and sweet potato fries. Everything was so delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Patti Charnecki
My daughter took me to Great Catch last Friday. The lobster was delish! The coleslaw was the best ever. First time in years I didn't take leftovers home. I ate it all!!
Wish we had a Great Catch here in Nobleton.
We have a beautiful 1/2 acre
(River Oaks Landing on the Withlacoochee River). A local landmark!
Great Catch would be a gold mine up here!
In the famous words of Arnold Schwarzennegger...I'LL BE BACK!
Enarxis Fernandez
Finally a date night with my wife!!! I was exited, we ordered mushrooms, gator bites, steak lobster and snow crab!! Server firgot my gator bites, steak over cooked, we sent them back they came out worse!!! The rest was good but my expectations went way down!!! They could have done better, might or might not be back!
Margaret Loar
This is my favorite seafood restaurant. The food is awesome. The staff is great. Everybody's so friendly and helpful. Love it here!
Another awesome Friday night at the Great Catch! Tried the buffalo shrimp this time. It was amazing with their delicious in house blue cheese. He had their gator bites and they were yummy as usual.
Nothing To Lose
Definitely enjoy the new management. I just went recently and we loved the food. I live seafood and the puck 2 basket was perfect for the price. It came out quickly as we missed the dinner rush. But, I'm sure if it was packed they would do their best to get it out in a timely manner. Our server Kristen was fantastic. Would definitely recommend to the seafood lover in you.
Joanne Mitchell
We've never had a bad meal. Wait staff jokes with us. Love going there!
Michael Monahan
Outstanding, fresh seafood. Home cooked, fresh. Mildly seasoned, fresh. Great service...and, did I mention, fresh seafood. Monday is all you can eat shrimp day. Every day is all you can eat fish day. Place is not fancy, but has lots of local cover.
arlene chrostowski
We were seated quickly in this very busy place! Seafood here is either fried or grilled. We had steak- cooked to perfection and lobster roll-delish.
George Thomas Rey
The seafood restaurant has a beautiful rustic beach look.I was with my wife and with one of my son's which was the one that recommended this place. I had shrimps and scallops with linguine. It was delicious. The service was good and the prices are reasonable. I recommend it.
Cristin Harris
This place was amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I came here with family and wasn't looking forward to it because I don't even like seafood, lol. The gator bites were so good, tender with a great taste, and the dipping sauce was good too. I ordered grilled cheese and fries and it was good too. They have the best fries. The atmosphere was the best I found in Zephyrhills during my stay, and they had a live band. Definitely sit outside if it's not too hot. The atmosphere improved as the sun went down.
Margie Berry
Food was good. Service was too. Every one seemed to be enjoying the evening
Dawn M Cool
The food was amazing Maui Maui oysters on the half shell delicious I would recommend anybody that likes seafood to go there they had a one-man band he was pretty good the service was a little slow my server but otherwise she was good
M & M Lowe
Yesterday was our first time trying Great Catch restaurant. We really enjoyed the food and service. Our waitress, Montana, was fantastic with her recommendations of appetizers and dinner options. The hush puppies are probably the best we've ever had and the calamari was great too. We all chose the 2 item baskets that came with fries & cole slaw. Shrimp, oysters, clam strips were all fried perfectly. Four stars because the hostess area is right where smokers sit on benches, so we had to put up with smoke while we waited for a table to be cleared/cleaned.
UPDATE: we returned for another dinner the following weekend with more family. We were lucky to have Montana as our server again! Still received great service and delicious food. Son-in-law had french onion soup both times and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Great Catch is definitely a great place to enjoy seafood.
Christopher Rimes
Excellent laid back atmosphere, awesome food, fair price and live music….couldn’t ask for more 😎
Jeff Kirby
I had dinner here on Sunday night with my daughter. The food was good and the staff was nice. We got there about 15 minutes before closing (didn't realize it) and they still sat us.
Karen Baroody
We are at The Great Catch at least 3 to 4 times a month. Mickie is our server and she does a fantastic job. It is hard to choose just one server because we have had so many and they are all great. Darlene makes sure that every customer is treated with the upmost respect, timely service, and the food is always served hot. Everyone from the cooks, waitstaff, and those who clear the tables work so hard. Last night the heat was brutal, and yet they worked through all of it. My hat Is off to the owner George for having a wonderful restaurant and staff.
pamela
We were a party of 3
Seated immediately and graciously. Kelly was a very friendly server. She was such a pleasure to be around! We had a few questions and she was super knowledgeable and had all the answers!! The fried oyster dinner was huge and delicious! Waffle cut fried sweet potatoes served with maple syrup was great!! Kelly suggested them and she was absolutely correct!! One of our party had broiled Basa Fish fillets. Also very good!! The third member of our party got Scallop and Shrimp Linguine which was The Bomb!! Such a great time! Will definitely go back!! And ask for Kelly!!
Stuart Morris
Always a good meal. Dine every time we visit dad on weekends. Outdoors is comfortable and staff accommodating. Love the haddock and best onion rings.
Paul Blake
Coral took me here for my birthday, since she knows that fish is one of my favorite foods. I ordered the haddock and calamari basket. Both were excellent. Our server Christian was very pleasant and attentive We plan to return.
Paula Blume
The Great Catch was, just ok. We had a party ou f 7. There were several large tables that wouldve accommodatrd all of us in a nice quiet corner. Instead they put 2 tables together right in front of the band. (Which was awesome) With my 80 year old parents, wasnt such a good choice. We couldnt ask to be seated somewhere else, the place was full. We made the best of it. I got clam chowder. It was really bad. Being from Massachusetts where New England Clam Chowder is a staple. Was HORRIBLE! NEVER, put Orgegano in Clam Chowder. Something other than clams was used. Then I got a salad. How can ya screw up a salad? Well, they did. I asked for no onion. Guess what? It was loaded. The service was sub-par.
William Power
The restaurant is fantastic, the food is great. Wonderful shrimp dishes and scampi pasta dishes are delicious.
This is a hidden gem in Zephyrhills, they always have a table waiting, even when the restaurant is crowded. There is ample parking and outdoor tables, that are covered. This is a must visit seafood delight.
William DeHart
Haven't been here in a while, the food was terrific. The fried shrimp was cooked to perfection without alot of coating. Service was outstanding as well. Will not wait so long to come back. We traveled about100 miles to come here. GREAT PLACE!
pauline jenkins
Great food. Wait staff were pleasant.
Steating was offered inside or out.
It was New England style to say the least.
Joan Bastow
We have been here in the past and were disappointed. Everything was great tonight. The entertainment was super. Drink prices a bit high
Lucas Deforesttt
Hands down the best restaurant in Zephyrhills, the staff is amazing and family friendly. The food is out of this world delicious and reasonably priced. Just an all around great place to relax and have a good meal. Me and my family have officially made this our restaurant of choice.
Wendy Schmidt
Great night with family. Great service and fish was delicious. Entertainment during dinner also.
CPO Sharkey
This was nothing special that I couldn't have gotten at a Dennys. Service was great, but food was just OK. However, during the week they run some "all you can eat" specials each night, which we plan to check out... My biggest gripe, was that they did not honor the military with a discount; shame on them!
Richard Lapointe
Mostly deep fried menu.
Sit on the patio if you can , better vibe.
Will go back
Wendy Smith
A friend invited me to dinner here on a Saturday evening, fortunately we were seated relatively quickly...a decent spot but I requested a different table...I guess they had to keep that one for a party of four. Our server was pleasant and friendly, the food was served without much of a wait, prices were reasonable... I like the fact that you could get a basket portion, which is smaller, or a full dinner portion. That was a real plus. We sat on the outside deck and it was great that there were no smokers out there! The only thing that interfered with the ambience and a beautiful evening was they had the TV on. It was an interruption to a really nice evening. I would definitely return for another dinner here. Beer and wine only.
roy Brinkley
Mahi Mahi was overcooked and dry. O ion rings were bland and tough. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Tom MacNabb
Great blackened grouper sandwich with plenty of kick. The peel and eat shrimp were deliciously seasoned as well. Worth going out of your way to eat here!
Gabriel Arauza
Food was amazing!! And the atmosphere was on point! We went on sat they had 80s-90s night and the dj was playing all the good ones! Definitely be back!
Staci Bruce
I was hopeful... But disappointed. The bisque was alright and the service was good. If the crab bites had any more filling in them, you'd have to call them hush puppies. May try again and order something else but only if they PLEASE sweep UNDERNEATH the dry storage in the kitchen... You can see in from the dining room and it makes me question the cleanliness overall.
Barry Shapiro
Went to the Great Catch Sunday afternoon with a very large group of my friends from the Old Town HOG Chapter motorcycle group. The service was excellent and the food was great. Kudos to these folks for a very good time. Most restaurants cant handle a larger crowd let alone a group that filled one of their dining rooms! Thanks again to the excellent staff.
Donald Seymour
Outstanding food! We had the crab legs and they were both gorgeous and delicious! I recommend The Great Catch to any and all who find themselves in Zephyrhills Fla. A true little hidden gem!!

The seafood is good. The service has always been slow, seems like they are always under staffed. The environment is very loud. There is no way you can visit without hollering.
Bob Anderson
The food is good. Been here twice now with my parents. Only thing I should mention is the hostess with the Blue/Green Braids is horrible. She seems very incompetent. And would probably be better suited working there as a dishwasher!
Cameron Burns
Loved the atmosphere. Drinks good and reasonably priced. Dinner was not so impressive but not bad.
Dawn R
This place had great fried food, had live music and we got to sit by the birds and stage. It was a great time, nice server as well.
Traci Askew
Great food! Awesome music by Andy Heath He sings fantastic
Jennifer Swan Hopkins
The Great Catch has the best fish, burgers and coleslaw in Zephyrhills. I get their grouper and my husband gets their shrimp basket most often. Whatever I get, I always order a double coleslaw so I can take it home to enjoy the next day either my leftovers. Very generous portions at a good price, fairly fast service, and they offer daily specials and live music in a nice outdoor area.
T-lo Holmes
I love this place. Philly hits every time!
Debbie Scopano
Awesome !
My husband and I craving for a good Steak,
We're always ordered calamari, fried oyster and lobster,
This time we ordered
"Prime Ribs and 2 sides order
It's so awesome juicy and tasty delicious...
Holly Hepler
Great place and always my go to. The down side is ......The music is way to LOUD. If you don't mind talking you'll be fine. Everything else is awesome. Enjoy
Arnold
Attractive setting, well managed, good staff. Many seating options- outside under a tree, inside under a roof with a tree growing through it, and inside behind walls- there must be an acre of seats.
Fries were okay, onion ring batter better, crispier, and the haddock was fantastic. Plenty left over to take home. Condiments were par for the course.
We 3 had a nice, half-hour plus lunch- quiet and private amidst a busy Saturday afternoon. I recommend The Great Catch.
katherine whyte
Definitely recommend the shrimp and scallop scampi. It was delicious!! I also loved the appetizer Muscles Josephine, so good. The food is always amazing and the atmosphere is fantastic. The service is always great, everyone is so nice and helpful. I had Stacey as my server and I highly recommend her!!! She was very knowledgeable and made sure we got everything we needed in a timely manner!!
Catherine W
Waitress was wonderful. Food was outstanding. I loved the style of the place too.
Jim Conner
Been hearing about this place for several years. Finally made the 40 minute drive today for a late lunch. You know how you've heard about a place, wanted to go there for a long time and when you get there it's a big disappointment? Not this place, it was great. Service, food taste, food quality, food quantity, friendly staff, timing of appetizer to meal, temperature of food, refill of drinks all great. We'll be back.
Jackie Clarke
Love the atmosphere, friendly service, fresh seafood, the live music adds to the local tradition.
george illes
Must check out local seafood place , a great value!
A mix of the North and South with some of the best selection you are going to find. Huge portions!
John Johnson
Great as usual. Excellent service. Can't beat their whole belly clams. Their lobster stew is to die for. Thank you.
Boon MSgt
I go here for the Oysters and the outside patio dinning. Typically there is live entertainment on the patio bar area. They also offer inside dinning area. They have great seafood and service. I only gave three stars because the last two times I went they where out of oysters on the half shell. Still this is a great place to go in Zephyrhills and hoping to change to 5 stars when I get my oyster again.
Lori Simon
Charlie our waitress was awesome!! Food was fantastic..love this place!!
Kk Miller
Excellent as always. Fast service, food is always great, sauces are amazing, servers are wonderful! Outdoor seating area is nice.
Julie Stutzman
Hands down the best sea food place I have ever been. Beats Red Lobster. Live music was AWESOME.
Jocelyn Sangiovanni
Yes, it is a hidden gem! Delicious food, server couldn't be nicer!
First time there and we are planning to go back and keep going!
Robert Lagassee
Not the worst I've had and far from the best. Pretty much everything was over cooked. The waitress was very good. Took back the baked potato that was the only thing under cooked. Wasn't busy so you can't use that for an explanation. Just cooks that don't take pride and ownership in what they do.
Roger V
Great grouper fried dinner! Service was excellent along with the live music!
Yara Gutierrez
I love this place! Very friendly staff and homie feel! My only reservation is that for the last few times I've ordered the sweet potato fries they are cold... ugh... but everything else is great!
glenn martin
It was yummy and good service with Kristin OK but it’s one way
Heidi Witten
This is by far the best place I've eaten out at in years!!! It's a 45 minute drive from my house and worth every minute! The fried oysters and buffalo shrimp were so good, and the service was great!
Pat Corbley
Great, great crab legs. Love'em. Oh, and My wife liked her cheese burger.
Lisa Howitt
Gator bites were spot on delicious. My dinner was not so great. Chef was having a bad day ? Overcooked my calamari and clams. I would try again.
kate Scott
I'm from new England so I think I have a higher standard for sea food. The crab cakes had a lot of cartilage in them and the scallops were extremely underdone
archie tuten
Excellent food and service, clam strips and chowder was an excellent choice!! Bottled beer is kind of pricey but I guess it's that way everywhere
Don Crick
Derek is a great server and the food is always amazing. Keep up the great work 😃
Moosy 6
Love this place. They've got the best tasting and priced Lobster Roll and Lobster Bisque I've had outside of New England, To Date. And if that wasn't good enough, they offer a 1ft long Lobster Roll with Lobster Bisque, Clam Chowder, or Fries.
omar madruga
Was wearing a NY Yankee cap.
Still to many good all boys that feel Trump won and the South won the War. 😉 …
Gerald bohn
One of the best places to go for fresh seafood in the area! Every time I visit this place I am not disappointed, and I hurry back to try something new and fresh!! Catfish was today's selection and I was purring all the way home!! Go enjoy
Ghost Farm
Music is so loud you can not carry a conversation at your table.
Food was great, staff was short handed,but all was great, just turn down the music by a few decibels is all I meant, and I have returned since.
Sharon Lucas
The best!! Food, Service and entertainment
Love eating out on the porch and just enough fans to keep the bugs away.
Suzy Tsaab
Would have given the 4 stars except that our 1st time dining experience was in a constructive zone...they had the tree trimming done during the lunch hour and we were in the way of the sawdust and tree debris...at one point there was a crashing down of a tree limb. It was loud and obnoxious. Tge waitress was sweet but doesn't make a good 1st impression. Food was just okay. I had the lobster roll.
Mike “MikeMmmm” Mmmm
Frog legs were perfectly cooked and delicious. Catfish filet was huge and thick. The chili was awesome, definitely will try that again. Also the garlic bread that came with the chili was very good and garlicky (if that's a word) There were some lulls in service but not too bad. Gator bites were good too.
Ken Siegrist
Nice local hang out. Just bought our Florida Home down the road. We will be back in November 22
Tiffany Brock
Service was a little slow but the food was delicious, all you can eat shrimp on Monday was the bomb!
Sarah Barton
Cora found this gem on Facebook, so worth the drive. Terrific service, cozy atmosphere, and the seafood is out of this world fabulous. Felt like we were back home in New England! Don't pass by this place, stop in and enjoy!
Martha Carol Gleason
My husband & I had lunch on a Saturday around 1pm. We sat outside and it was a completely wonderful experience. It was our first time here but we will be sure to return regularly. Best fish & service ever. We had our server help choice our meals & appetizer. May did a perfect job with service & selection. Everything is clean, timely and super fresh 😁
Charles Cannella
Really great experience. this was my first time there everybody was friendly knowledgeable food is hot and fresh. amazing job
Doris Salicrup
Love Oyster. Taste good coming back for More. Clam chowders soup very good.
Jodi Johnson
My husband and I got the Fisherman's Platter and shared it. It was excellent and big! Stacey was our waitress and she was excellent! She was super busy and her smile never left her face! I totally recommend!!!!
Denise Carter
Outstanding, fantastic food and atmosphere, loved the whole experience.
James Law
My wife and I went there for dinner and everything was great!! She had the French onion soup, we shared the mussels Florentine, and fried mushrooms as appetizers. We split the fisherman’s platter and had half of it left over. Everything was hot, service was great with our server Tonya, and the food came out on time. This is not our first time and if you go after 6 on a Friday or Saturday night you might get food slower but this place is a busy place. Highly recommend it!!!!
Heather Pell
We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. If you're looking for a quick meal, choose an off time. Dinner has always been busy. Although we haven't had to wait long for a table, the food takes a while. The server was great and told us when we ordered drinks that food was taking a long time. We typically get the platters and split them anong a couple people. The fried shrimp, clams and gator bites are delicious. Our kids even braved some frog legs on the night we were there. We like the patio especially with kids. It's very relaxed and we've even caught live entertainment a few times.
Emily Blauers
I got some New England Clam Chowder and it's *the best* I've had since I left New England (Connecticut specifically) it definitely lives up to "the Taste of Boston".
This was my first time there, the food was great, staff was friendly, and the restaurant was spotless, will gladly be going back!
BeHonest FamilyReviews
My first time eating here And oh boy the food is great for a fair price highly recommend. Staff is super friendly and take real good care of their guest. Food was very good as well.. the out side seating is very nice and they generally have a band playing on stage. They even have Christmas decorations up for the holidays. You will just have to go check this place out.
Sherry Ulrich
Great experience! Food & service was great! Our server was Stacey great job!!
Paula Beach
We waited 45 minutes for a table, but it was worth it!
The music was great and food was delicious! We go there at least once a week. The servings are sharable and always fresh. I take all our visiting friends here.
Amber
Second time here, second time we left impressed! Food is great. Portions are huge. They have great all you can eat specials & a menu broad enough to please everyone. The staff is amazing. Everyone is running around, willing to help & very attentive. Julie is amazing! Always smiling & has made our dining experience. Live music almost every night. Kris Pierce seems to be the in house guy & he is fantastic!!! Plays a little of everything & keeps the crowd entertained. Great little place, very family friendly! Come early because they fill up!
Phil Wonderley
Had a great time and all you can eat whiting on Wednesday. They have one special every day and very entertaining live music. Like I said it was Well night!
Chris Langley
Excellent spot, not an empty belly to be found after the meal. I had the fried basa sandwich, w/fries and slaw. The SLAW though. Not heavy, just nice, tart, crunchy. Gator bites were tasty, even though some of my crew were out of staters that aren't adventurous. All dishes were highly complemented, the scrod, shrimp linguine, and the 1.25lb crab legs were all fantastic. Waitress was very friendly, fun and took great care of us. The patio area was spacious and well set up with heaters for these cooler nights. Bar crowd was a little loud but not rowdy, and everyone had a good time.
Denise Shannon Bedell
First time. We had a great time. Our server Kelly was awesome 😁
Rosie L
Love the food and people, great service!! Lobster scampi delicious 👍
Larry Adams
Great food, amazing atmosphere, adorable parrots, couldn't ask for more.
stephen Mcdonald
Great seafood and prices. They offer baskets smaller appetites. The condiments come in squeeze bottles, not side cups
Julian Lucas
Great vibe, outdoor seating, live music and great lobster roll. Oysters on the half shell were delicious, full bar. Loved it amd will definitely go back!
Kevin
For a true native of florida this is by far the best place I've ever eaten for seafood, jumbo hot wings, coleslaw, frog legs, etc.
Daniel Lindberg
Great food and staff. Music was a little too loud.
Dena Hirsh
Great food, service & atmosphere! I got the fish fry & my husband got the shrimp basket - both were cooked to perfection...light and flaky and not saturated with grease, unlike most places. Our server Alexis was very friendly and helpful and the vibe of the place was really cool...Tiki bar meets the bayou. Will definitely be back the next time we're in town!
Robyn Fullerton
I give it 5 stars because of the food though was tempted to lower the stars because of the service. I had to go search for my own booster seat because they didn't know where it was and after asking 4 times for one and them saying "oh that's right!" Also had no clue who my waitress really was because 3 different people were taking care of us. Now the food was AMAZING. Gator bites were very soft and delicious. The clam chowder was very hearty and filled me up so I couldn't even eat my dinner, but I did try the fish, scallops, shrimp and oysters, all amazing.
Kevin Mullen
5 of us waited one hour to get our order. Food was good but not waiting one hour. Was first time there so did not leave a good impression and not sure if we will go back but on a good note Server was great.
Wesly Kilkelly
Food is always excellent and very affordable, especially for the amount you receive.
Doug Brian
The best chowder, hands down! So much food at such great prices. One of my absolute favorite restaurants!
P.S. This gem has a Northern flare to it's menu so crackers be aware, no hushpuppies! 😆 …
Eileen Russell
My friend and I ordered appetizers we wanted to try a lot of them we each ordered two appetizers and then we got the fish salad to put on crackers. Everything was delicious I'm going back again maybe this time I'll try one of the dinners but I really liked all the appetizers there's a lot of them. Everyone should try it it's a great place you can sit outside or you can go inside and set we liked it outside.
Jim Summerlin
Had supper there last night. It was great. The food was perfect. These people know how to cook seafood. This was a wonderful dining experience. Kim, our waitress, made sure the food was exactly what we ordered. She never let a tea glass go empty and got the food to us promptly. We will be back to enjoy the music on the porch, and Kim’s great personality.
Robin Stewart
Please, please get the mussels or chowder. This place has alot of Boston/New England influences on it's menu. My ex-husband is from Boston yet I STILL want to go here for delicious cold water seafood.
Sheila Clarke
We enjoyed our dinners of New England fried clams and scallops and broiled grouper. Seating is comfortable on the front veranda, inside, or outside on the rear patio. I enjoyed my Margherita on the rocks too!!
Brandon Cline
Great food and service. Very cool place to hang out and eat at.
Bridget Knight
A fun casual restaurant with covered outdoor seating. Played great music!
Eliana Pérez
Good sea food it taste pretty fresh.
Billy Godwin
Service is Wonderful!!!! Food, not so great. I ordered a cheese burger and fries and asked for mayo and cheese only and asked for well done. I got cheese and ranch dressing on the side and the burger was med rare. I had to finish cooking it myself and use my on mayo. Like I said, SERVICE was great, couldn't ask for better, but they definitely need a better and faster cook. The one they have really SUCKS!!!!
Emily Smith
Food is great! Love their patio!
Carol Cruz
This is the second time we have eaten here. All I have to say is I waited at the podiums minutes before someone helped us then 25 minutes before we sat even though we saw plenty of empty tables. Plus when we finally sat at the very table that was empty when we got there and the waited another 20 minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink. We ordered our food and asked for crackers with our salad which we never got then waited 25 more minutes for our food, which was not too bad..THis THis probably the last time we will come because none of the waitresses even smile it was terrible...
Wyatt Conn
Food was great, and the ambiance was nice, but there were a lot of flies that started bothering us. Overall nice experience, though
Jacquelyn Bracken
They had some REALLY GOOD food! My favorites were: Gator bites (hard to get right), Maryland crab balls (delish!) Fried clams (cooked to perfection!) We sat on the covered outside deck and the atmosphere was great. I would def recommend this place if you are traveling through the area.
David Metze
The seafood casserole was awesome. Friday night wait times are high.
Mike Newman
We had not tried this place yet but it was always packed whatever we drove past. Finally on a whim we decided to go. After a short wait we were able to get seated. We had the shrimp alfredo and the fisherman's catch dishes were excellent! Live music great ambient lighting really sets the mood for a best of atmosphere, music and fun. Moderately priced and a great place to take the family and enjoy good food and live entertainment.
Donald Stansfield
I have the fish fry. It's really good. Wice has the clams, she loves them. Steak and cheese is good also. Friendly people.
robin williams
This was my favorite seafood place but the last two times we went the food wasn't as good (over cooked both times). We heard they have new cooks. Might give it one more try but for the price I like to enjoy my food.
Ajaye Lee
The atmosphere was nice and casual, which is what I would expect from a popular Florida seafood restaurant. It's clearly been around a while, but kept up nicely. The fried seafood was cooked perfectly. Servers were very friendly and helpful. The dishes were priced fairly, too. I would recommend this place when in town.
Natalie Hanley
Tried just about everything here and everything is very awesome and fresh.
Waitresses have great customer service and very fast ! We go here at least twice a month for lunch.
Indhira Pages
A real nice place, live music, excellent customer service and the staff is always friendly. Definitely recommended
Josh
This was surprisingly good! I'd go do far as to say great! It was always busy when we went by, so we finally decided to stop in. The fish basket was fantastic and the shrimp Po' Boy was great. We will definitely be back!
Staff was friendly as well. Our waitress was awesome!
Lucy Spencer
Check out this whole in wall sea food restaurant today for Bob's birthday. Needless to say we like it very much! And the locals eat there too!😋😋😋 …
Debra Piper
Cozy atmosphere, great food, large portions, reasonably priced, friendly staff and live entertainment made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening out. Our waitress was courteous, friendly and efficient. They were packed and food took some time to come out but was so worth the wait. Gator Bites were cooked to perfection as was the seafood basket. First time visit and will definitely be back
Diane Shaw
The food quality today was not as good as i have had in the past, plus another waiterss interfered with the one that waited on me, but i did ask if they had new cooks, and they did, so,plus they sat me in the side room that smelled moldy, but the air had been shut off, mold is what im allergic to, so, the manager should be spraying mold cleaner in that room. Truth!!
Ron Hensel
Food is fantastic just like the one in Lutz, FL. The hostess, wait serve and servers were more than friendly. Plenty of room both indoors and outdoor for seating. Although, expect a small wait since they're short of help.
Daniel Jones
Great place overall. Food is very good (but not great) but the atmosphere is neat. Sat outside and they had live music and an overall hometown kind of feel to the place. Service was so-so on speed, but the staff was very nice. Solid casual place to go.
Jerry Phelps
Food was excellent, service was very good, but the atmosphere was less than desirable. The singers they had there had serious feedback issues they couldn't fix. It made loud screeching sounds the whole time we were there. Not the restaurant's fault, but still made our visit kida icky.
Alicia Van Dusen
This was my first time eating here and it was amazing. The food was bursting with flavor. The live music was great and the relaxing atmosphere made it an even more pleasurable dining experience. Considering how busy they were the food still came out in a timely manner in my opinion.
Judd Man
I like this place big cold draft beers. Food is pretty darn good too.
Jp Se
Had a great time first time out in 15 years awesome reggae and music not so good on most occasions overall good conversation at the bar and good food but don't expect fast service it is the slowest service I've ever experienced at any restaurant. Don't ask the bartender for a menu or a drink because you'll be ignored. And that's a shame. I think the great catch of Zephyrhills should hire a better outdoor bartender
Melissa Lauderdale
Sin was amazing!!!! Thee entertainment that night played a special song for my 8yr old daughter to recreate her talent show dance. Sin recorded it. What a fun and at home environment.
Thomas Larabee
Let me start by saying the service was excellent and 5 Stars, the atmosphere was really good, mainly outdoors seating, but the inside section didn't seem all that great, probably why almost everyone chose the outside tables. I had the "Swamp Platter" which was Gator Bites, Frog Legs, Hushpuppies, a big fish filet and fries, which was very good. The reason I gave only 3 Stars overall was my Brother made the mistake of ordering a Ribeye Steak, which didn't look very good to me, and he said it sucked, to put it plainly. They were also sold out of several menu items. It was still a decent experience, but my brother also knows to stick with seafood the next time we go there. Otherwise I would have given it 4 Stars.
Timothy “Answer Man” Fore
Amazing food and atmosphere. The wait may be long at times, but worth it in my opinion. Large portions with a huge variety. Check out their live music nights for the total experience.
Melody Kim tiff Floyd
I know yesterday was Father's Day (we ate there since our last dinner with our dad was too celebrate his 91st birthday 2 years ago there and we wanted to honor him for Father's Day after we put flowers on his grave) and they would be busy and would have to wait, got there at 6pm finished dinner at 845p (when we left there still were people who had just received their dinner about 830p and we heard they were running out of food). Shrimp was very delicious but clams were not (small pieces when fried not meaty like in past). My sister's ribeye steak was very tough over cooked & her baked potato had been cooked for hours a lot of inside was brown (she wouldn't say anything about either since she knew restaurant closed at 8pm). I said something to our waitress (who was awesome) and got another baked potato (however it wasn't totally done). Baked beans were delicious, however cup was very hot but the beans were only warm.
Would we eat there again yes, because we understand since COVID-19 shutdown restaurants have a hard time having enough cooks & waitress and in the past food was always delicious. Thanks to the staff & especially our waitress.
Mark Mischler
Thought we'd check out The Great Catch for our anniversary lunch with the family, as we purchase their holiday gift cards for these family members. We were over excited for great seafood our 1st day in Florida and, so my wife could get her raw oysters on. We ordered our drinks and appetizers (raw oysters, of course). Everybody enjoyed their seafood mains. Now, the rest of the story... some of our drinks were served with confusion; I ordered rootbeer but was given a Pepsi, which I slid over to the Pepsi drinker, our server said she'd be back with the remaining drinks, so I mentioned "and my rootbeer". She responded back saying the Dr pepper she served next to me was actually my rootbeer. As she was getting the remaining drinks, i tested that beverage, nope, it really was Dr Pepper. Our server returned to inform us that they were out of raw oysters today, ... awwwe, the whole reason we came out for seafood, ...did we want an alternative? ....no. Our remaining drinks were delivered, but with a Dr Pepper. We ordered our mains and enjoyed the other appetizers. Several of us ordered refills on our beverages. Our server assured me it would be rootbeer this time, wink. Good to know, she has a sense of humor. She delivers mine last, -and finally, here's that Dr Pepper you ordered". Really though, it was finally my rootbeer. Everybody enjoyed their seafood meals. Just bummed they were out of raw oysters.
Tracy Kinnebrew
Wow, my guest and I were very pleasantly surprised at such good, no great food. Everything was superb and the portions were quite generous!! I will be back and bring more people, the best tucked away "food gem" I've ever eaten at. Our server, Dianne, was very friendly and gracious, and the band was totally rockin'
Bill Nunnally
Good food. Service was slow. We had to flag down a waitress just to get a drink order. But overall a good experience
Dave Massey
Just stopped in for a beer, sat at the bar. The beer was cold and served in frosty mugs. Took a few minutes to be noticed by the bartender. Then the bartender disappeared so no one was around when we finished our beer and needed to check out. Another staff person showed up to get a beer so we asked her if she would get our check. She said she could not, that the bartender had to but she was waiting tables. The woman left but came back a couple minutes later and checked us out anyway. I guess they're short staffed.
Linda and Bob B.
Great food but could have had more seasoning on fry better. My daughter and zi had a fish called Basa and it was mild and very good
Service was great. Will return.
Shirley Camber Castonguay
The food at this restaurant is fantastic. I have only been in Lakeland for 15 months haven't found a good seafood restaurant till tonight. Everything we had was amazing. Fried Clams with belly's are fantastic. You wont be sorry.
William Brown
Was honestly disappointed with their Mahi-mahi dinner. The fish looked exactly like those long triangles strips you buy in the store. The one plus was they give you more then you can eat at one sitting so I had plenty to bring home. I also ordered a bowl of clam chowder which on a scale of 5, I would give it a 2.5. Not that I’m an expert on clam chowder but I have been all over the lower 48 and have always tried their clam chowder if it’s on the menu. Not sure right now if we will be going back. Maybe it was a bad night.
MJ
Good food, great service! Our server was Lauren she was awesome. Tbh she seemed like she was the only one who had all her ducks in a row. Will be back and will definitely ask for Lauren to serve us. The entertainment was cool as well.
Melissa Taylor
I have never had a meal I did not like! Its one of our family's favorite seafood restaurants. We make a point to visit at leat 3-4 times a month. Can't go wrong with all you can eat fried haddock fridays!! Love it!
Tammy Schuler-Beaudoin
Awesome food!!! Best seafood I've had since I moved to Florida 17 years ago!!
Mike C
Great food, great service. I was born and raised in new England, down here as a tourist. Ive had great seafood, and i was skeptical of a place in central Florida serving seafood, so i ordered shrimp, because i know it probably came from the gulf and would be fresh. But my wife ordered clam chowder. I did not have high expectations, because ive had some great chowder, at many different restaurants. I tried some of her chowder, and ended up finishing it for her. It was legit, clams were flavorful, and the seasoning was on point.
Back to my order, the shrimp was good. I ordered the kickin shrimp, which is fried shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce, kind of reminded me of a sweet chili sauce i like to get at trader Joe's. I finished em. The fries are crispy, just how i like them, and not overly salty. I can always add salt if i want, but its tough to un salt your fries, so it was great.
I should add that i was in a party of 9, with 3 kids, aged 6, 4, and my son whose 3rd birthday was the next day. The waitress was super friendly, i wish i remembered her name so i could give her the credit she deserved, as large parties are a pain. She remained cheerful and talkative, asked how old my son was, and i said his 3rd birthday was tomorrow. At the end of the meal, she brought him some cookies for his birthday! It was a nice touch to end the night.
Other things i liked were the large mugs of draft beer (28oz), and the atmosphere. There were birds (small parrots, maybe?) That were super cute, and my kid loved them. They came right up to him and kept him entertained til our food arrived. If youve tried to eat at a restaurant with a 3 year old, you know this is a lifesaver.
I come down to the area every year with my family to visit my wife's family, and i think i found my new favorite dinner spot. Five stars
Brett Williams
My Dad and I found this place searching for good Northern seafood being from Boston. The food was tremendous! Service? Even better!!! Started with Kim, amazing attitude and very attentive. Alexis was also extremely kind on another visit, and provided us with more excellence! We will continue to enjoy this tremendous experience!! Thanks.
Penny Pridgeon
I love this place great prices great service they have music live bands a super place to be
David Pilkington
First time and will not be our last. The fried shrimp was great and my wife's blacked chicken pasta was delicious and huge. Kids liked it too.
Pablo Torres
This place is amazing , if you like seafood!! Food is fresh and seasoned to perfection, I love it, my favorite seafood place!!!😋😋👍👍👍👍👍 …
Janeen
The atmosphere alone here is awesome. Love sitting on the deck to eat. The good: chowder, lobster roll, broiled scallops, shrimp scampi, gator bites, calamari, chicken sandwich, ribs... The bad?: bar drinks are hit & miss so far. Have to get to know the bartender a little better I guess. Seems like my go-to west coast drink, the Mai Tai, isn't on anyones menu here? Lots of fried options so can't really eat light here. I'm learning though! Still a GREAT dining option here in Zephyr!!! Will keep going and finding the best menu items!
Ashley B
This place is amazing! Their seafood is super fresh, their prices are fair, and their service is exceptional.
Sheila Roberts
The all you can eat fish platter was delicious. I have visited several times and never have been disappointed. Live music on deck.
Nancy Jamrog
Food was excellent. Service was great until after we got our food. Server checked on us as soon as we got our food. Then we did not see her. We had to get our own takeout containers and the table was never cleared. We then had to go to the cashier to get our check. The server was standing there talking to the cashier. It was not very busy that night. I have been in the Restaurant/Bar and catering business for 28 years. I understand how it works. Will return to dine again. Will refuse to let this woman serve me again.
Maria Rangel
We went for an early father's day dinner great food and great atmosphere 😀😀😀 …
Kim Hawk
Previously stopped going due to poor service but clearly they've upped their game! Outstanding service and excellent food. Great outside atmosphere with live music. Will put back in our eating out rotation.
Heidi Bauer
Go during the week if you're going to go at all.Wait time was an hour to get in on a Friday and you can't call ahead. Then another hour to get an hordeuver then they were out of lobster bisque and clam chowder after we got our meals and I waited for it and we never did get the extra side salad. All in all, the service left something to be desired, but the food (Fisherman's Platter and the Lobster Roll) was good, so we'll give it one more try-during the week.
Christine Gorton
I am a New Englander and we have the best seafood. Have lived in Florida for six years now and The Great Catch Restaurant in Zephyrhills is by far the best seafood we have had in Florida. Great job!!!! Loved it….
Ilia Quinonez
Lack of salt in the food…pasta portions are too big in my opinion…sweet tea was not that great. Overall it is okay but probably would not return. Oh and the flies are annoying outside. The service was awesome and they even gave the kiddos free cookies!
Lois Schweitzer
Been there 5 times in the past several weeks. Food is very good but they are always advertising music on Sunday from 3-7 which is why we go there but out of 5 times band showed once at 4:30
Dont advertise if you are not going to provide what u advertise. There staff told us the band would be there from 3-7 but at 4:15 they were still not there
Andrew Michael
Great place great food
Valerie Gibson
If you haven’t found this little sea food gem, I hope you try it soon. Super great food in this small roadside restaurant. No reservations or special dress code needed here. The Basa and shrimp combo was very good and plenty of it. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Eat outside or in, but bring a good appetite.
Cathy Warder
Excellent food. We had a waitress I do believe her name was Alexa best service I have ever received. Very friendly and she knows everything about the menu. This young lady is a asset for you guys to have. We will be back and if she's there we will ask to be put in her section. Keep up the good work
Patrick Ward
The seafood was delicious. And there was so much. After going and being disappointed at the chowder house. We tried Great Catch.
Best seafood in Zephyrhills
Friendly staff and they even had live entertainment. We'll be back!
Zombie Inc.
The food was fantastic. The staff was very friendly. They had live music that was very good. Overall a wonderful place if you haven't been here I strongly suggest trying it out. I know I'll definitely be back again. Keep up the great work & happy holidays to the staff.
S Damron
Had the crab cake sandwich and sweet potato fries. Waitress was great.
Marshal Peterson
Food is fresh and the fried shrimp some of the best I've ever had. Onion rings so lightly battered that you actually tasted the onion more than the batter. Definitely put it on your list. Lots of outdoor seating so very good for this as social distancing time.
Sally Worrell
Food is fantastic. Waitress was a little slow. Other waitresses have been great
Sandra Kirby
Great service, food was good. Reason able prices. Good variety and options. Have eaten there before. Would recommend to my friends. Nice outdoor seating area with plenty of fans.
Larry the Table Guy
Was very good I'm glad we came across this place.
Julie A. P. Parker
This small restaurant has so much charm and appeal. The small outside doesn't do just to ambiance inside. The waitresses are friendly and very quick on their feet. The food is delicious and was piping hot. I highly recommend the clam chowder as an appetizer. The chowder is the creamiest I have ever tasted.
Lynette Ball
Absolutely fabulous place to eat and great waiters and staff
Charlotte P
Had fried fish and fries, fish was good. French fries were just okay, would prefer something that didn't taste like they came out of the freezer section. Coleslaw was crisp, but flavor was just okay. Tried my friends grilled fish and it was very good. I was disappointed fish didn't come with hush puppies! It took 45 minutes to get our food for a party of 7. After lots of hype I guess I just expected this place to be better.
ANITA IVES
I've been here over 10 times. Every time we have family coming in out of state we bring them here. It's such Floridian, outdoor music and excellent seafood.
Gari Weingart
Good food, we had the coconut shrimp and the fish sandwich. Some of the best cole slaw around. We've eaten here before and would like to suggest a deep cleaning on everything with some painting to be done. Food is always good to great, but taped over broken windows and cleaning would help.
Judy Conn
Fun atmosphere, great, fresh, delicious seafood. Attentive wait staff.
Jennifer Austin
Being from CT (New England) I personally find this to have some of the better quality seafood in the Z-hills area. We eat here on a regular basis and the food and atmosphere is consistent. Plus at night they offer entertainment on a regular basis.
jason thompson
Excellent seafood, felt great to sit down and eat with friends again... edit: showed up with more friends, still fantastic!
Alan Young
The atmosphere was great,had The calamari basket was over cooked every hard. Other's had The shrimp same way.
Bill Larkin
Great food, reasonable prices, our servers unfortunately have not been very attentive the past couple of visits could be due to overall labor shortages.
CHERIS THREE CROWN CLEANING SERVICE LLC
The atmosphere is nice the service not too great The grouper grilled was very Bland and it seemed to be pressed I would not recommend a grilled grouper sandwich at all. I'm sure you would be better off if it's fried. The whole experience there for the most part was okay considering we had to wait 20 minutes for a glass of tea then received our food also ask for a takeout order for a grouper sandwich which took almost an hour and when the waitress came to our table she apologized to us and said it would have been out sooner but she dropped our fish sandwich in soapy water. LOL I could not write this no more than a 3-star. Definitely need somebody new to grill the fish and know how to season it and find a new waitress that wouldn't tell her customers that she dropped their grouper sandwich into a tub of soapy water.
Andrew Pinkham
Nice variety of seafood dishes, reasonably priced. Recommend sitting outside under the roof. You won't be hungry when you leave! New England seafood style in Florida to satisfy the snow birds?
Nadine Murphy
Food is fresh . Wait staff and hostess 5 stars!!
Thank you to the hostess who went above and beyond to accommodate. It was deeply appreciated!
French onion soup was the best I had ever had.
Fish that Aunt and husband had the serving was oversized and fantastic!
Atmosphere is laid back.
Can't wait to go back!!
Deborah Glaze
This was my first time visiting. Great clam chowder!!
Kevin Purdy
We enjoyed a great meal here last night. We started with 4 dozen oysters. They were fresh and bright. Offered with raw horseradish, lemon, seafood sauce and crackers. For dinner we had a seafood platter, snow crab and a lobster roll. Amazingly everything was cooked to perfection. Scallops, Shrimp, onion rings, fries and fish all cooked perfectly. No room left for desert but the one I saw in the fridge looked great. Will return soon.
Ted Brock
We Came here with my grand daughter on a Tuesday evening. We ordered crab legs, seafood casserole, mussels, and gator bites. It was all the freshest, best tasting seafood! It’s is very fish shacky, with inside and outside tables, kareoke, bathrooms in odd places kind of place. But deliciousness!
Bill Finch
Food was good, we sat inside but should have enjoyed the atmosphere outside. Service was a little slow, think it was our server and not the restaurant itself. Willing to give them another try.
Herman Corletto
The food was amazing. Best seafood place I've been to in a while. The kicking shrimp and the coconut shrimp were amazing. The portions are huge. The hush puppies were sooo good. We were there the Sunday of memorial day weekend and the patio was fun. They had karaoke and it was blast. Definitely recommend and I will most definitely will be back.
Madia Roberson
First time we got fried oysters and shrimp dinner. It was great. The food is very good. We are planning to go back soon. Oh, I got the green fried tomatoes. The Best.
Joseph Surack
Great food, great service. Gets very busy during peak hours, so be prepared!
Diane Mozer
The food was so good, we got clam strips and scallops delicious and tasted just like they are from N.E. Sister got ribs said they were just ok, we both got soup Chowda and onion soup both very good.
Steven Dean
Been there multiple times in the past always enjoy it but in the last year had a Couple of issues with the making my favorite dish their blackened shrimp Caesar salad For some reason they don't make it the same each time Did disappoint me because I have stomach issues and there are only certain things I can eat. Usually when I call them back and tell them what the problem was they Solve it. Not the case with my last Call to them. Did want to add that the service is always great that the team is good
Lady D Ivette
Great place and atmosphere we celebrated our 8 year anniversary with delicious food
Bill Col
What a find. Great seafood, menu, prices, and service. Hard to figure some of areas best seafood would be in Zephyrhills. This place has several different areas including inside and outside. Outside covered area has trees in the middle!!! Keri did a great job and this is now a goto spot.
Chris Johnes
Great atmosphere. We sat outside with family and our pooch. Excellent, attentive service. Everyone enjoyed their meals: gator bites, coconut shrimp and grilled mahi bites. The lobster bisque was very tasty, but the Maine clams were not to my liking. Looking forward to our next visit!
Jennifer Bush
The food was amazing, the staff was great and there was live entertainment. Our family made a great memory here!
Garry Earnest
Loved this place will be back, great service and great food. The great Catch is a nice and laid back place to eat and listen to music on the patio, or dine inside.
Mark DeMaury
This restaurant serves good food. I have had fish and also the hamburger is awesome. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The live music is great. Service is excellent. If you want seafood or a land lover pick they have it. They also serve daily specials with some all you can eat on the menu.
Lyn'ay B
Excellent food, good customer service, great price. I came for my birthday. We were seated outdoors to enjoy some music and socially distance from others. The seating was nice, the music was cool, and the food was deliciously fresh.
Rachel Pettengill
All my husband wanted for his birthday was a Fisherman's platter, so I called in an order and picked it up with no hassle or waiting. My husband had exactly the birthday dinner he wanted and he was thrilled. 😁
We love that place! …
Hasaan Mclain
Great theme. Outside seating. Not a huge selection of fresh/steamed seafood to choose from. But if you ask the waiter about their seasonal options, they may have crabs legs in the kitchen. I would recommend. The lobster rolls are on point!!
Rob Brenner
Nice little restaurant tucked away off 301. If you find this place, you've stumbled upon greatness. We ate there and everything was very enjoyable. The service was excellent, the food was plenty, and the final bill didn't require a second mortgage. My wife had the lobster roll and it's worth every penny paid, and some. Thick chunks of fresh lobster lightly tossed in mayonnaise and other Boston spices. I had the fisherman's platter. It was big. Very big. The place was a tall as it was long. Plenty of shrimp, scallops, clams, and a nice filet of Haddock, buried by a mountain of onion rings. Find this place and eat. You won't be disappointed.
Sharon Catin
This restaurant is totally awesome!!! There food is amazing and always has a wonderful flavor. There is a special everyday yesterday was all you can eat shrimp cooked the way you want. It's a great place for lunch and dinner...
Michael Nappi
Again, not sure what was better, the food or the service. Awesome seafood, large, heaping portions. I am a bid guy and had the fisherman's platter fried. I could not finish, but wanted to eat every bite. She had the grilled shrimp dinner. What a large pile of big, beautiful, juicy delicious shrimp! And the onion rings we both had were perfectly done. Joline was are server and she kept checking to make sure we had everything and that out glasses were never empty.
We both came from other towns and I admit I was a little worried when I passed through part of the surrounding neighborhood. But the atmosphere here is bright and inviting and even the bathrooms were spotless!
Try this place... it is awesome!
Ann Franchi
First time here. Very busy - we waited a long time for our order to arrive, but, boy, was it worth it! Very large portions. My husband asked to swap out the fries for rice on the sampler platter - it came with fries and rice, but no coleslaw! But other than that, the meal was gooood!!!!! We will definitely be going back!!
Don Lesher
Friendly service. Haddock was breaded very lightly and tastefully for Friday special. I don't normally enjoy fries, but did these I did. Not greasy but light and seasoned.
Sandie Prickett
This place is a wonderful location in the heart of Zephyrhills to get some great seafood! They've updated the back deck to add even more outdoor seating with a covered patio. It's perfect and the seafood is always fresh!
Glenn Suggs
Very nice casual place. Outdoor patio was outstanding. 4 of us tried different things and all good. Great service and seafood was excellent. Side dishes weren't anything special but still good. I would definitely recommend it as a great place.
Meeks
Delicious and fresh, great service. Unreal 👌👌 …
Dan Burr
Nice place with a large outdoor area as well as indoor. Enjoyed the popcorn shrimp and the kicking shrimp basket. They give you a lot of onion rings, the only thing I didn't like was I thought the onion rings were a bit bland. Definitely worth checking this place out! The lobster bisque was excellent.
SiR SMOKES ALOT 813
Delicious food and and good service! The singer wasn't really a good choice but hey Keith sweat wasn't available!
Lynn Taylor
There was a very live music he was a very good singer, we enjoyed very much. Food was really good shrimp was excellent! Alligator was good but the pieces we're really small. Over all I definitely would go back. Looking forward to it 😊 prices are comperable to nice restaurants in area can't go wrong here, seething for everyone. …
Kenneth McLaughlin
Fried shrimp was very, very good. Tasted fresh, no hint of old cooking oil, and not overcooked like some restaurants do. Prompt, friendly service by very attentive wait staff. Only reason I lowered rating to 4 stars was their choice to have that vile, totally political show The View on the tv. The Three Stooges would have at least been entertaining.
Celine & Ken walters
This place is a hidden gem that reminds you of an old style Florida roadhouse with great food and atmosphere. They also have a 2 level outdoor bar/seating area that complements their indoor dining rooms. I love their fish dinners & fresh coleslaw while my husband loves their burgers as well as their shrimp dishes. They make a mean Bloody Mary & have many types of ice cold beer served by a great attentive staff. We have also done takeout and have never been disappointed in the quality or quantity of food. Try them now before the snowbirds come back and you have to wait for a table.
Brent Devine
Food was excellent like everybody else they're having a hard time getting employees so took quite a while to get our meal. there for an hour and a half for lunch
showtime824 showtime824
Reasonably priced and very good food
Andrea Biondi
Casual, fun setting. Pet friendly. Good food, very limited beer selection. Live acoustic music was an unexpected bonus.
Jeanette Ramsey
Great place, very accommodating. We were a group of 23, food all came at one time. Lori are waitress was amazing. Lobster Bisque was spot on with flavor. Maryland Crab Bites superb. Everyone in group enjoyed their meal. See ya next year!!
Corey Thomas
This is a very nice seafood restaurant. They even serve fried alligator tail which is delicious. The staff and hosts are friendly. There can be a wait if you go in the late afternoon but let me tell you the food is worth it. On some select nights they host an live music and they have a really cool aviary on site if you are into that kind of thing. Prices are reasonable considering what they bring to the table. Good place for a nice drink and good food and also a good place for younger crowds.
Kelly Sparapani
Fish was outstanding, not greasy, and perfectly prepared. Some of the best fries I've had in years, & the best coleslaw ever. Our server Mickey made the overall experience as good as the food. With a couple decades of restaurant experience, I'm pretty particular. Can't wait to go back when I'm in town again!
Joel Novatne
Great service and great food. Me and a buddy split gator bites; can't find that in enough places. Swapped fries and slaw for a garden salad. Healthiest dressing was oil and vinegar, could use more options, but a very good salad: cucumber, tomato, green pepper, red onion and lots of lettuce. Blackened mahi mahi was tender, juicy, and plentiful. Wish there was another diet soda beside Diet Pepsi but I needed to drink more water anyway. Definitely coming back again and again.
Charles Vanderbrink
Two out of the three last times we’ve been there the service was terrible (outside tables). I had to go ask for somebody to wait on us ( it’s been before 4). This afternoon we were told oh, we don’t have any waitress assigned to the outside area. When we finally got a waitress it took forever to get our food. She even came over and said, sorry, we were getting ready to serve 2 tables of 12. There weren’t any tables of 12, and what if there were? Two to three tables got their food before we did. One more time we are done. The restaurant seems under staffed and the girl who seated us had to answer a phone while trying to talk to us. Rude.
B P
VERY good food. The gator bites were so good my little ones ate most of them. Friendly staff, cool atmosphere.
david cunio
Where do I start? Live music was awesome!!!! Our server Alexis was the best, very attentive and very friendly. Last but definitely not least the food was the best seafood I've had in a very long time. Can't wait to go back.
Beverly Sheridan
Hush Puppies for the win yall!
We decided to eat the bar and had great service.
We enjoyed our date night in a relaxing outdoor atmosphere.
Deb St.Pierre
I am from Maine so I crave New England seafood but haven't found a good seafood restaurant until we found The Great Catch. Service is great and food even better. I will definitely make this my go to restaurant
M C
It was ok, would not go back worth all the other choices. The big issue was it was noisy and you could not talk to the people sitting next to you
Anthony Ruggiero
Awesome the food was so fresh and tasted so good by the way the Oreos in a cup whoever came up with that is a Genius! Will definitely be back!
Angel Rosado
Place is very cool food was great definitely will be back only little thing wish my server was a bit fast but over all awesome.
Stephen Rumper Sr.
Better atmosphere that the Land Of Lake's location, enjoyed very much.
Randy K.
The outside dining area is very nice.You can listen to band or karaoke.they have daily drink specials allso.nice comfy atmosphere and as allways great food.you can make reservations or take your chances.you will defiantly enjoy yourselves.
Doug Erskine
Cozy little indoor/outdoor spot
Smoke free
Pet friendly
Unique patio features include a tree... through the roof !
Live music, cold beer, fried fish n more
We were seated right away but it wasn't long before people started lining up
Nikki Evitts
We liked this place ok. The food was pretty good, nice atmosphere, and drinks were decent.
valerie lombardo
Lauren made us feel right at home from the second we sat down. All of the food that we tried was amazing! The vibe and the live music was phenomenal and we will definitely be back!
Cindy C.
AWESOME PLACE!!!!! This was our first visit so we had lots of questions . Our server was great. We asked for her suggestion and she pointed out a,few of her favorites. We were undecided so she gave us plenty of time. When our food arrived it was made to perfection and large portions. Every thing from slaw to sauces are home made..We were so full when we left and we actually got to go boxes. Definitely if you are anywhere close made it a priority.
Rhonda Midkiff
The clams strips were lightly fried and pretty good but I have to say that the fish dip was terrible some of the worst we've ever had.
Jeff Bryant
The food is amazing. However, there was a 20 minute wait between refills of the all-you-can-eat fish. That was hard since my wife was finished her meal long before I was finished mine.
Brian Singer-Towns
This is a very popular place to eat and it's understandable. Good food and a fun, low-key ambience. But one of our meals, the Cajun mahi mahi, wasn't great and there was an hour wait for our food-- at mid-afternoon. Clearly understaffed. Still recommend if you have the time.
Tom Legbandt
Food was average. FYI, the fish called basa, is a Vietnamese catfish, not any too local. The best thing was the smoked fish appetizer served with saltine crackers.
Tonja Breeding
Really nice place with very friendly staff. The drinks were great and they had live music that you could actually talk at the table.
Mary Neal
I've been there a few times and the food is just okay. It's a little pricey for the quality. The coconut shrimp was over cooked and the waitress was grouchy. (Wish I could remember her name- short, petite brunette with hair in a tight bun) We could see other staff that seemed to be friendly and upbeat.
Cindy Williams
Went with a party of 10 for a birthday. Wonderful service and fantastic food. We will definitely be back.
Natalie Huegel
This was our first visit to the Great Catch. We chose to be seated outside on the deck, as the weather was beautiful. The service was efficient and friendly. The beer selection was a bit sparce. The portions that were served were huge and the food was very good! The Great Catch is the perfect local spot to visit if you enjoy seafood! We'll be back!
Scott W. Miller SR
Fresh seafood. I had the fried oyster dinner. At least one dozen large ones. My wife had the 2 item combo with sea scallops. It was all we could do to finish our dinners. Each dinner came with 2 sides. Just under $40.00 fair price for the food.
Rich Romsteadt
Great catch is definitely more than just a name i drive 3 hours to get there because the food is that good the owners from New england and he sure knows how to prepare seafood it's worth the trip for me and my family to travel from fort myers to zephyrhills that's no joke that's one of the best places i've eaten seafood in south florida PS yeah i'm from New england originally but puts out spread on wish you would bring back that lobster bisque love it keep up the good work guys we'll be back
Stevan Garner
We go here for our anniversary every year and order the seafood platter for two; it’s quite filling and scrumptious, almost sinful amount of food. We always take leftovers home, waste not want not. Reasonable wait time and good service.
Ferrol White
I brought my wife for our anniversary on o3/06. I did this based on advertising and tv special. We were very impressed with the atmosphere and design of the facility. My wife had crab legs which were Google but overcooked. I had a lobster and the claws were ok but had a funky flavour, the tail was so tough I couldn't chew it.
I brought all of this to the attention of the waitress that said she would tell the owner. We never saw the owner, very disappointed. Not looking for a free meal just would like to come back and hopefully have a better experience.
Sarah Beatty
The Great Catch is a wonderful restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu offers a nice selection of seafood, burgers, steak, salad, etc. They have specials most nights. For example, some nights have "all you can eat" specials, while other nights have single serve specials, e.g., 12 oz. Prime Rib and 2 sides for $15.99. They also have a nice selection of beer and wine. The staff is polite and friendly. We would highly recommend trying this restaurant.
Dana Davies
Good seafood, nice outside patio, don't really like the huge squeezable containers for tarter, cocktail, especially with covid, they should use washable ramekins, ok service. Would go back
Amy Thacker
Thank God new owners took over this place! I was in that kitchen when it was Mainly New England and let me tell you, I promised I would NEVER go back so much so that even as I was offered the head chef position I couldn't take it. I was petrified that I would be held responsible for their lack of well... Everything...
However, after speaking with the new owners we decided to give it a try. Everything we ordered was delightful! The gator bites we're perfectly fried, not greasy and didn't have that "old oil" flavor from frying. She shrimp were steamed and seasoned nicely and were plump and juicy. The staff was absolutely wonderful! If you're like me, remembering Mainly New England, KNOW it's not the same!!! Give 'em a try!
Vivian Rivera
Amanda was welcoming and a great waitress, that made our first time experience excellent.
Food was great hot and pretty fast, ( the place was pretty full) only the ribs were a little dry for my taste but grandma was happy and ate them all, my cousin who's from Virginia really enjoy the gator bites, I was surprised with the fried pickles, the muscles were great as well, all around we all left more than happy. I would recommend
And will bring more friends there.
Michael Porter
Dog friendly, food great. Big beer. Service very slow, but order was correct. Friendly staff, not super attentive, but did I mention great food? Don't come in a hurry.
Jerilynn Boyles
Oh my goodness. The foot long lobster roll, belly fried clams and creamy delicious clam chowered loaded with chunks of clams were just as scrumptious as we get in Maine at the best Lobster shacks. Prices are great. An hour away and will be going back often. Greaat restaurant with indoor seating, outdoor under roof. A really cool place. The couple beside us had the fried seafood combo, it was piled a foot high with onion rings on top. Outstanding.
John Vartanian
Here's the good and the bad. Philly cheese steak was delicious, not too dry and not soaked with onions and bell peppers. Buffalo and Kickin shrimp where amazing. Although my wife enjoyed the gator bites on a previous trip, they served them when they shouldn't have. I believe they were at the end of the batch and we received fried breading mostly. Our server was professional and friendly and removed the cost of the gator bites when I mentioned it. It was amazingly warm in there during our visit. The server was sweating and I followed suit shortly into the meal. I'm sure that was a fluke but it was my first visit. The place is nicely decorated with a New England Coastal theme.
Doug Lee
Food was good, waitress ("Karry with a K" I hope I did her name correctly) was excellent, patrons fun as Karaoke was good. Would have been more stars but know this COUNT YOUR CHANGE FROM BARTENDER!! Not only did she short us as we sat at the bar waiting for our table but then added the 2 extra beer to our dinner tab!? Court your change or better management should deal with cash.
Angelia Bugg
Food was scrumptious! The Fisherman's platter fed me and my husband and we still took two boxes of food home! We also ordered a cup of clam chowder...it's the best I have had in Florida. The atmosphere is great, laid back and casual...cute bar outside..nice lady and gentleman singing, we enjoyed them very much. The service was best of all; Amanda could not have been sweeter, funnier, or more professional. She was very attentive to our needs without being there too much! She really loves her job and it shows!!!
Candice Cheesman
Such a fun atmosphere in this outdoor restaurant with the beautiful birds. The wait staff was super friendly, especially with the kids wanting to play with the birds. Everyone ordered something different and everyone enjoyed theor meal.
Jason Fowler
I just got take out but the folks working the front register were just fantastic. They seemed like they enjoyed doing what they do. The food was great too! I was upset to hear they no longer sold the Jumbo Mahi Taco! Please consider bringing it back! Also, trying to look at your website on an android was a pretty janky experience - it wasn't working quite right.
Jeff McGill
Always good food and good prices. Took off a star because our order was lost (called ahead). Had to place the order again and wait--again. When we finally got it, it was great.
Joel Greene
Great service! Great food!
Shrimp prepard better than any restaurant in which I've ever eaten.
JAMES REECE
Waiting until they are able to hire some help before we come back. 1 1/2 hr wait. Half of the tables empty. Seems to not be any picticular order as to how your seated
Tanya Musser
Had great experiences and poor experiences, last night terrible. Excessive wait for food, rude staff considering they weren't that busy, charged me for the free kids meal that's Thursday specials.wont be the go to place anymore if this is the direction
Trevor Mcdonald
Great food. Awesome service. The waitresses were great with our 10 people and extra wonderful with my 2 year old. Its a great place to chill amd eat. If you're in z-hills definitely go check them out. You won't be disappointed.
Harold Howard
The fish and Cole slaw is terrific. The live music - simply awesome. The service from Julie and her recommendation outstanding!! Found a new Friyay hangout!!
Bonnie
The food is fresh and delicious. The portions are very generous. It's a very comfortable and entertaining place they always have a singer or a band.
willa bahr chapman
The food was good but it took quite a while for it to get to us. when we were first seated there were quite a few people in the area that we were in and there was literally one server and she was very good she just had too many people and too many tables to run. later on during our way there did appear to be more servers.
Gabe Bourgoin
Very busy after 5 pm. Food was good. Had the shrimp scampi and what a bounty of shrimp. Was pleasantly surprised. The pasta was slightly el dente, perfect. Also had the fish (haddock) and chips. The price differential between the basket and the all you can eat was a little confusing. 11.99 for the basket and 14.99 for the all you can eat. Fries were cooked to perfection as well as the fish. The atmosphere is very New England. The wait staff was fast and friendly.
Nancy L
Great food, always fresh and hot. The problem with this last visit was the service, it took more than an hour to get our main meals. I suspect the server was new because the service is usually fast. We did not say anything to the server since we felt she was just learning but the food is always great!
lyssa 813
Has the best New England clam chowder I have ever had...and yes I have tried lots of different places.
Also had a basket with clam strips and shrimp with fries and garlic bread. All were amazing. So was the lemon meringue pie.
Service Amanda was great she was very professional and fun.
So over-all best place I have had seafood since I have been in Florida. Says a lot been here for 12 years.
Eric Wissenbach
Best cooked bay scallops I've had in decades. Nice deck area and good service. Will definitely go back. We went on mother's day and had no complaints at all.
Lindsay Lyons
Staff was friendly, food was amazing and you get a LOT.
Linda M
Our meal was delicious and our server, Lori was awesome- friendly and professional 👍 …
Wayne D. Holland
Had a really fantastic date night at The Great Catch! Rarely get to spend time away from the child, but our server, Monica REALLY made our experience pleasurable. Prices are relatively reasonable for a seafood restaurant in our area. The hush puppies are delicious, dipped in the lobster bisque and the clam chowder, and the coconut shrimp was damn good as well. One of the best seafood joints in Zephyrhills!
Tonnia Young
Went with friends & had a great meal
Amanda Davis
We stopped in for lunch and had the pleasure of having Keri as our hostess and server lol she's definitely an asset to the restaurant at on point she was cleaning tables while answering the phone for togo orders! Amazing food and outstanding service! Will most definitely be back! THANKS KERI!!!!
