Good food! Broccolini tasted a little burnt and hush puppies were cold but they made things right.

Service was really good. Very attentive. Food is also excellent with many options. Good value and fresh healthy food. Full bar if you want that. Ambiance is low key almost beachy vibe. Very casual.

The $1.50 oysters were NOT worth the discounted price. They were tiny, pre-shucked, dried out and tasteless.
The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded on December 4, 2024
Devon, we are truly sorry if your oysters weren't ideal. That's very unusual to hear as we are known for serving the freshest oysters available. We will look into what happened and make sure it is not recurring. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and would love the opportunity to make it up to you. Next time you visit, please ask for a manager or me so we can ensure you have an excellent experience in every way. Thank you. Thomas Wilkinson, General Manager

The oysters were yummy and the drinks were good. I didn’t love the trout but my friend got the salmon and loved it
The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded on November 18, 2024
Nia, thank you for your compliments on our oysters and drinks. We're glad your friend loved the salmon, but wish we had known. your trout wasn't ideal for you so we could have made you a new order. Hopefully, we'll have the chance to serve you again soon for a dining experience we're confident you will love. Please let us know when you make it back in!

I thought the Seafood Basket was a little skimpy! Small piece of fish and 2 shrimp with french fries and small container of cole slaw for $25.
The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded on November 11, 2024
Thank you for your visit and feedback on our portion size, Ernest. We normally hear our portion sizes are very generous, but we apologize if you felt otherwise. We'll be sure to keep our eye on that. Next time you're in, please ask your server which items are the most substantial, and we're confident you'll enjoy the portion just as much as the flavor.
