    We've dined there a few times. Food is always good. Wife had baked oysters for starters and grilled shrimp tacos w/ hush puppies. All solid+. I had blacked grouper sandwich with fries. Sandwich as good as many places on the coast. Fries good, though a bit chintzy portion. Wife doesn't recommend the drink specials. Service was adequate.

    My husband and I chose The Big Ketch to have a low key but delicious anniversary celebration. As always, it did not disappoint. The food was outstanding. Ryan, our favorite and usual server, made the occasion so special and took excellent care of us while going above and beyond with special touches. We love The Big Ketch. However, one small disappointing note. Why on earth did you get rid of the chocolate mousse??
