    Our server Mickey was amazing!!! We had a party of 5, and he didn’t seem overwhelmed at all. He periodically checked on us, which was good so the drinks were filled and we felt attended to.

    That's great to hear, Kristin. Thank you so much for your very kind words for Mickey. We're happy to know you and your group enjoyed your meal. We look forward to serving you again soon!

    The seafood was very good. The side dishes less so. The desserts were good. The ambiance feels like a beach shack. The service needs improvement. We had an ask for the waitress and then she disappear at times. There is room for improvement. Also, the old man sitting on a stool and smoking nonstop outside the entrance needs to stop.
    The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded 5 days ago
    Collin, we're happy you enjoyed our seafood and desserts, and we appreciate the compliment. However, we are sorry to hear you didn't feel everything was perfect. Please accept our apologies. We are known for providing friendly and attentive service but we will certainly look into what could have happened. Also, please know if ever something you order isn't exactly as you had hoped, we want to hear about it on the spot so we can make you a new version or help you choose something else you will love. Thank you, and hopefully, you will be back soon for what we're certain will be an excellent dining experience.

    Over priced and small portions. The restaurant could use a face lift

    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.
    The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded on March 12, 2025
    Melissa, we appreciate your kind words about the ambiance and are glad you and your friends had a nice evening. We understand the importance of timely service, and please accept our apologies for the delays. Your experience does not reflect our usual standards, and we will address this with our team. We look forward to welcoming you back someday for what we're confident will be an excellent dining experience in every way. Thank you.
