    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 3 days ago
    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.

    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.
    The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded 3 days ago
    Joyce, I am truly sorry if we missed the mark for you. That's very unusual to hear as we always strive to provide freshly prepared dishes hot from the kitchen. What you described is definitely not up to our standards. I will look into what happened and make sure it is not recurring. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention and would love the opportunity to make it up to you. Please reach out to me with your reservation name and date, as well as the best way to contact you. Next time you visit I will ensure you have an excellent experience in every way. Thank you. Thomas Wilkinson, General Manager

    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
    The Big Ketch BuckheadResponded 3 days ago
    Hi, Will. We're happy you joined us and enjoyed your visit so much. It's great to hear how much you enjoyed the hush puppies and entrees, but we apologize for the temperature of the side dishes. We'll make sure that is not an issue going forward. We hope you'll be back again someday soon for what we're confident will be a five-star experience. Thank you!

    Hi Terrell. We appreciate your compliments on our service. Thank you. Please know we are committed to sourcing the freshest oysters, and on any given day they can vary.
