    I love the Big Ketch! I have been here many times and always come back. The services is pretty great, they are decently quick and attentive. They make sure you have everything you need. The food is always excellent, and great quality every time. I would definitely recommend

    It was nice to get together with friends I haven’t seen in a while. We were excited to order drinks and food but it took 20 plus minutes for our drinks to come. Another 20 minutes before the waiter came to take our order. It wasn’t a busy evening so I’m not sure why it took so much time. But nice ambiance.

    Don't bother! Ordered shrimp and grits. Waited a long time for ice cold grits and warm shrimp with raw green onions thrown on top. Shrimp tacos had more slaw than shrimp and no flavor.

    First time dining at the Big Ketchup. The corn hush puppies were absolutely delicious. Best I have had. We each had one of the fish dishes with sides and were really happy with the cook, seasoning and flavor of the trout, salmon and grouper. Would have considered a 5 star rating however the cheese grits we had as sides for two dishes both came out cool…really cold. Still there are so many items on the menu to try we will definitely be back and look forward to re assessing a rating

    I simply did not feel the food was very good and it was expensive. No ambiance at all. I won’t eat there again and can’t recommend it. Server was good though.
