The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill

Overall rating: 4.5 I came here as I was visiting my friend who lives in Atlanta. Great happy hour prices, good food. The cocktails were really good and the bartender was very nice. No complaints.

My wife and I visited after a day at the Atlanta History Center. It's amazingly close to that location, so if you're taking in the sites at AHC, keep it in mind. Ample and convenient parking.Friendly and attentive staff.Clean restaurant.I had the Rainbow trout with Brussel Sprouts and Broccolini. It was delicious. My wife had the chicken. Sadly, not as good as she had hoped. She reported hers was tough and the knife provided was a butter knife. She did say her salad was delicious.Four stars. Stick to the seafood. Keep chicken out of seafood restaurants.

The oysters is my why! The food is delicious but the oysters is the star! As a fan of seafood I enjoy fresh, quality, fish, oysters, shrimp, lobster and more!I enjoy the $6 deal and the chargrilled oysters are tasty too!The lobster roll is ok but in picky when it comes to lobster rolls!This place is a great place for a nice peaceful meal or quick bite !

Came in for the Buckhead restaurant week and must say it worked! I will be coming back! There is an outdoor area with fans, a bar and a small dining area. The staff are very prompt and friendly! I enjoyed everything! I had the delicious lobster big that had crab meat sitting on top as the garnish, the Baja grilled shrimp tacos and Brussels sprouts. Lots of food but it came as part of the special. I also enjoyed a blueberry cider that was very tasty as well.

So this is a personal favorite of mine so maybe I'm biased lol but I always have good food and an experience when I come. I tried the grouper sliders for the first time but I always get the oysters during happy hour. One of the best deals in my opinion on oysters I've come by in a while. I usually get them raw but I tried a few grilled ones this time and they were so good. The sliders were super tasty too. Coral was my server. She checked on me often and made sure I had everything I needed and more. I also got a complimentary dessert for my birthday. The restaurant itself gives a small bar off the shore vibes. If you love oysters and a good deal on them, this is the place to go.

Why would a seafood place that has great clam chowder take it off the menu?? I came here for clam chowder, and was very disappointed. They had taken it off the menu!I settled for this Gulf Shrimp, fried and substitute the mango sauce. It was tasty. But nothing special for $28.I think the reason why I didn't is because my server Yulia. had at least six tables assigned to her. If it wasn't for the great maître D, Andrew, I probably would not have gotten cream because they don't have cream for the coffee service. I also hesitated, whether or not to order the lobster bisque because I couldn't tell how much cream was in it.. I did not want it to be too rich! He offered to let me try a little sample. Which is something my server should've offered me, but she was too busy. Again, I still believe the reason why she could not be more attentive is because she was spread thin!. the four stars was given because of Andrew, making my diving experience. Most pleasurable!

The location is nice and the parking is free. Already starting off on the right foot. Walking in, we were greeted warmly by staff and seated promptly (had an open table rsvp). The ambiance is casual and you can definitely accommodate a large group for a meal or celebration. We sat at the booth and they had a children's menu for our son. We opted to order all meals from main menu but it was nice to have options for our kid. Oysters on the half shell are fab. Wish I could've came on a weekday during happy hour when they are only $1! Alas I ordered and enjoyed them anyway. Fish and chips were on point. Fish is fresh, the batter is just the right amount of crisp; our four year old loved it. I enjoyed the Chilean sea bass special and my husband enjoyed their shrimp crab cakes. Great place for a seafood dinner in Atlanta. Loved our experience and the food.

In part because of inconsistent leadership at the top, the Southern Proper Hospitality group misses the mark on some of its restaurants, but this is not one of them. The Big Ketch offers great food and outstanding service. Ample parking in Buckhead in rare but you'll find such at this Roswell Road eatery. GM Tommy runs a smooth ship and the staff is always top notch, especially Janella, Julie and Gracie Grace behind the bar. Highly recommend!

Stop by here for a quick lunch... Ordered the salmon BLT, with an order of side rice.. Good quick meal, very good and fresh cooked to order.. Service was good, it wasn't crowded at all during the lunch time so it's a good spot for lunch as well.

Personally I think the service and the ambiance was great. I just personally wasn't impressed by the food items on the menu. I got the lobster roll and Brussels sprouts and they were decent. Not anything I would crave though. The shrimp and crab dip had a slight kick to it, but I think that it was probably my least favorite item only because of my dislike of the actual taste. Personally I probably wouldn't return, not because I had a bad experience or anything.. I just wasn't really impressed by the food. But on a positive note they have a free parking lot in the front of the building which is a plus.
