    Friendly service and very good food, though it's somewhat pricey for lunch -- $80 for two salads with blackened grouper and iced tea.

    We never have a bad meal at the Big Ketch. And the hush puppies alone make it a destination.

    Good food! Broccolini tasted a little burnt and hush puppies were cold but they made things right.

    Service was really good. Very attentive. Food is also excellent with many options. Good value and fresh healthy food. Full bar if you want that. Ambiance is low key almost beachy vibe. Very casual.

    Jim, thank you for joining us. We appreciate your compliments on the team's service, our ambiance, and of course, our food. It's great to know you enjoyed your meal, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

    The $1.50 oysters were NOT worth the discounted price. They were tiny, pre-shucked, dried out and tasteless.
    The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded on 4 December 2024
    Devon, we are truly sorry if your oysters weren't ideal. That's very unusual to hear as we are known for serving the freshest oysters available. We will look into what happened and make sure it is not recurring. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and would love the opportunity to make it up to you. Next time you visit, please ask for a manager or me so we can ensure you have an excellent experience in every way. Thank you. Thomas Wilkinson, General Manager
