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 5 days ago
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.

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.

The Big Ketch is becoming a go to restaurant for us. They offer a great variety of fresh foods. It’s a go to restaurant because they offer salads, light dishes and handhelds and excellent fish entrees to suit anybody’s taste and hunger level. It’s always delicious and satisfying as it was again tonight for myself and everyone in our party of 6. Thank you Big Ketch!

Big Ketch is always a comfortable, dependable place to have a nice seafood meal. The menus includes many well cooked basics (fish & chips, grilled trout, etc. I wish they would add more items to spice it up a bit. The lobster roll is a favorite, it's a bit small but always full of flavor. Servers are always pleasant and happy to please you.
The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded on 19 October 2024
Elvenyia, thank you for what sounds like your many visits. We take pride in providing a comfortable atmosphere and consistently delivering quality seafood. Your suggestion for more diverse menu options resonates with us, and we will certainly consider it. We are delighted that you enjoy the lobster roll and recognize our dedicated staff.
