The Catch Denton Reviews
I got the Captain's Combo that has fish, shrimp and Boudin balls. This was a perfect choice! My wife got the French Quarter plate and she was supremely satisfied! The staff is very friendly and helpful! Don't miss this great surprise!
Not only was the food EXCEPTIONAL and authentic the service was awesome. I had the French quarter plate and went in saying there is no way I could finish it all…in the end the only thing left was a bit of the French bread. Amazing food, and very friendly service. I was passing through on a visit from Colorado and am now looking for work and housing here just because of this place lol. All jokes aside, I will definitely be going back any time I’m here visiting! 🙂❤️
The food is always amazing delicious. I'm always ready to eat it before I can take a picture. The service has been nothing but excellent. We drive over an hour just to come here and eat good seafood.
The catch has great food and friendly service I went in to order me and my friends food to go last night it was pouring down raining mind you went in the cashier was friendly and inviting I hate I can't remember her name I went back to my car expecting to go back in to pick up my food but Brylon brought out food out to us I was highly grateful we also asked for extra condiments he gladly went back inside and got us more than enough! We loved the food it was my friends first time and my second we will definitely be visiting again if you haven't tried them please do quickly they are great!!!!
We’re visiting from out of town and absolutely loved the food here. My husband ordered the French Quarter plate (catfish, fried shrimp, etouffee) and couldn’t decide on a favorite - he loved it all. I got the burger and fries, which were awesome (the bun didn’t fall apart, which is a win). Employees were friendly and helped us with the menu, bathrooms were clean, George Strait in the speakers. Highly recommend.
I drive out of my way by miles to come eat at The Catch. I have never been disappointed in my food. I would eat here at least 4 days a week if I lived closer. It's not fancy, but I don't need fancy when it taste this good. I used to live in Louisiana and this is authentic seafood. Thank you Rachel for the great service. And thank you The Catch Denton for making me so happy when I come.
I always have a fantastic experience every time I visit! April was incredibly helpful and friendly—her pleasant personality and excellent customer service truly stand out. The food is absolutely delicious, worth every penny, and consistently full of flavor. From the first bite to the last, it's always finger-lickin' good! And let’s not forget the margaritas—they’re the perfect complement to the meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and top-notch service. Can't wait to come back!
Found ourselves in Denton today and decided on seafood for lunch. The Catch was a good choice. I seem to be on a self fulfilled goal of locating the best fried green tomatoes around the area. I rate these about a 5 out of 10. Breaded well, but they were red tomatoes, not green and they were a bit greasy. Both of us picked The Big Easy, catfish on a bed of rice, with green beans, hush puppies and garlic bread. A little spicy for my taste, but very yummy.
I love small gems in the middle of cities and this place is definitely one of them. I walked in and was met with good greetings and they helped with my sons high chair as I sat down! When it was time to order, the menu was easy to read and they brought your food out to you. The crawfish was out of this world! Super flavorful and fresh. The shrimp was not rubbery at all! I really dislike overdone shrimp but these were soft and delicious. The hush puppies were a tad dry but nothing major. Overall, super friendly staff and wonderful food. I will be coming here more often for sure.
I thought this might be helpful to someone who has never been to this location before and is curious how the tiny drive-thru works. I know I sure was. Check it out! I went on a Wednesday. They open at 10:30am but I wasn’t able to leave my house till 11:30am. 11:41am arrive 11:49am order 12:01pm paid 12:15pm food! The food was SO GOOD. I got a shrimp poboy combo (you can’t order poboys ala carte btw) with fries and hush puppies. I also got the fried fish and fried shrimp combo (1 fish and 3 shrimp). For that for my side I got red beans and rice (you don’t have to just get fries as your side) and hush puppies (hush puppies come with all meals). And those hush puppies were GREAT! I normally don’t like hush puppies but these were nicely fried and had a great flavor. The poboy was great, the fried fish and shrimp were EXCELLENT. I think I have found a new favorite Denton restaurant! My girlfriend also got shrimp étouffée and some beignets. She really liked both items! What else? Excellent service and they made sure to read my order back to me which was nice. I saw two couples sitting on the patio and it seemed like they were waiting a while but their food soon came out. Overall this restaurant went as fast as they could and did as good a job as they could given the circumstances. Make sure to talk into the FIRST drive thru speaker not the second one! I can’t wait to go back.
I ordered the grilled shrimp and fish combo. Overall, it was a good meal — flavorful and satisfying. The fish was just a little too salty for my taste, but still well-cooked. It came with a side of okra and rice, which complemented the dish nicely. For under $20, I think it was a solid deal.
