Catch Oyster Bar

Really fresh, really great service, this place clearly knows their seafood and takes pride in it. Wonderful experience and we’ll definitely be going back and trying more things on the menu. Strongly recommend!

Catch Oyster Bar hits that sweet spot — cozy, unpretentious, and always buzzing with good energy. Their martinis are dangerously good, the fries are perfection, and the blackened tuna wrap? Fresh, bold, and downright addictive. It’s the kind of spot that wins over everyone — from the preppy Williamsburg crowd to the shee-shee Hamptonites. Easygoing vibe, great food, and a bar that knows what it’s doing. Highly recommended — one of those rare places that feels like both a local favorite and a weekend escape. GO!

Came to catch for the first time and it was so good . I got the drunken vanilla cherry coke and it was so good! Definitely recommend. I also ordered a mixed dozen oysters and baked clams and they were both so good , I couldn’t recommend them both enough .

Amazing experience GREAT SERVICE AND hospitality. The oysters blue point and I forgot the other oysters they were from Canada their AMAZING. Blackened fish tacos to die for with chips and guacamole free of charge on the side. Definitely would be Back.

Mcakaela took such great care of us we came back the same day. Cozy spot with a good vibe. We sampled a variety of oysters, each had their own unique balance of sweet, salty, creamy, and texture. The baked clams are rich with a strong note bacon and Parmesan flavor- fantastic. Highly recommend the drunken vanilla cherry coke as well.

EVERY-TIME! Staff is genuinely friendly but even more attentive and efficient! I can’t say more than the pictures about the food. Not to be missed is the fried flounder anything! & of course the 🦪 Seating is tight but it all works✌️

I recently dined at Catch Oyster Bar, and here's my review: The atmosphere at Catch Oyster Bar is pleasant, creating a nice dining experience. Our server, who also happened to be the bartender, was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The service was impressively quick, ensuring we were well taken care of. For starters, we tried the Fry Calamari, which was quite enjoyable. However, the highlight was the quick and efficient service. When it came to the main dishes, there were some hits and misses. The Lobster Roll left something to be desired as it was a bit bland. On the plus side, it came with a side of excellent Fries and an okay Coleslaw. The Blackened Fish Tacos lacked the spice and flavor one might expect, while the Shrimp Po Boy was good but unfortunately overcooked. In summary, Catch Oyster Bar offers a nice ambiance, a friendly server, and quick service. While some dishes missed the mark in terms of flavor, the overall experience was positive, thanks in part to the attentive service.

I've been dying for a good Lobster roll. Specifically, a warm one. Patchogue Village had a sandwich shop called the Hero Joint that served an insane Lobster roll. Easily one of the best I've ever had. And I've been all over Maine and the Cape. So, when I saw that Catch had a Lobster roll for 40 bucks, I said this thing better be good. Otherwise, you know I was coming on here to say a few words. Though I had a feeling it would be, considering I've eaten there before, and it's always been good. Not to mention really cool staff. Well, they did not disappoint! I bought three rolls and each of them were perfect! Big, delicious chunks of lobster all warm, buttery and perfectly cooked on just the right roll. A nice side of chips that were crispy and tasty with a pickle to round it off which was great. Well done, Catch! I'll be back before summers over!

What a great little restaurant! Others have described it as a hidden gem and I can see why. The coastal decor is very welcoming and comfortable; there are a number of standalone tables and plenty of seats at the bar, which was crowded when we arrived Our waitress, Janine, was a sweetheart - super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations on the oysters from the menu. We opted for Fire Island Blues and Lucky 13. They were both delicious and super, super fresh. I have to say out of all the food we ate, the oysters were our favorite. We also ordered the baked clams, sesame crusted tuna, and fried calamari . We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and I can't wait to get back for more of those fresh oysters and delicious and tasty baked clams. If you haven't checked out this place yet, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

SUMMER 2025 HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED - with our first Catch lunch! Clams on the half shell, ice-chilled and served with fresh lemon and spicy sauce... perfection! Followed by a delicious, chonky lobster roll - tender, buttery, and awesome! Paired with a couple of "True Italian" cocktails (a new summer creation by bartender Mike!) Just wanted to add extra props to Mike, who was not only mixing up some of the tastiest cocktails to touch the tip of my tongue, but simultaneously waiting on tables, and performing FLAWLESS service! Extra napkins? Check! Swinging by midway to see how everything was doing? Check! Delicious complex cocktails that involve fresh herbs? CHECK! My better half ordered the grilled salmon, and it was so amazingly gorgeous that I begged a bite - SOOOOO tasty! Seriously, if you are anywhere near Patchogue, you gotta lunch here! If anyone is visiting you from out of town or another country, bring them to Catch to show them what real Long Island living is about!

Unbelievable meal every time! Service and the people are like family Small place looks busy but moves quickly so I grab a drink at bar and get a table in no time. Food is so fresh, new specials weekly consistently the best food I've ever eaten Must try!

Finally returned after eight years, and I was not disappointed. While the area around the oyster bar has changed, it was refreshing to see that their selection of Rob bar hasn't faltered. Great selection of east and West Coast oysters, thumb sized shrimp that are perfectly prepared. Ceviche was fresh and delightful. Mikayla at the bar is both friendly and knowledgeable. Great cocktails, and good selection of beers. Inside is cozy, with a hint of "Jaws "

Looking for a local joint that defines fresh catch from local(& some a little further) waters? Seafood prepared consistently very well then this is it!!! The cocktails and selection of ale/stouts are impressive too! If you're a fan of raw oysters(or cooked) it'll be difficult to go anywhere else after indulging here! Don't be surprised if you have to wait for a seat. It's not a big place, but certainly worth it!

Great oysters! Great selection, all perfectly cleaned and chilled. NE clam chowder was excellent. Small place, five tables and maybe 12 spots at the bar. Went for lunch on a Wednesday and it was shockingly packed. Bartender was also serving tables. She was working really hard and was super nice. No cocktails for us today but the drink menu looked tasty! Will definitely be return.

Love this spot. We've been here 4 times and the food is always on point. It's tiny, so you may wait for a table (there's 2 regular sized and 2-3 two seater bar height tables) or you can eat at the bar. The fish tacos here are amazing, the apps are always great too (tuna nachos, Sicilian calamari, etc). It's truly a hidden gem and a go to spot for good fish and a relaxed environment.

We sat at the bar and had an amazing meal. Oysters were so fresh and so clean and their house-made vinegar was PERFECT. I had the blackened swordfish appetizer which was cooked and seasoned to perfection - juicy and flavorful. Bartender was super friendly and helpful in picking the oysters for our tasting too. Looking forward to going back!!

This cute little oyster bar on a side street in Patchogue has amazing food. Great chowder, shrimp cocktail and Po' Boys. Service was great too. Can't wait to go back!

First time here and I love this place! I sat at the bar with my friend and we ordered a couple of oysters and we had a lobster roll and filthy martinis. The service was OK. I loved the Caribbean music that they played. I would come back the oysters they had a lot of different types of oysters. They had fresh and salty and briney options for the oysters. check them out!

The food here is great! Super fresh seafood!Oyster lovers rejoice, they have them all kinds of ways and from all over the country. Place is always packed, but then again I think it sits 20 max, lol. If you have to wait, it's worth it!!

I had the opportunity to check out Catch on a Sunday afternoon. The place is on the smaller side, if I wasn't specifically looking for some where to have fresh oysters, I would have likely walked right past it. But for a small joint, it packs a big punch! We ordered a dozen fresh oysters and their fried calamari - both of which were excellent. Since it's on the smaller side, there's limited seating but we were fortunate to grab a seat at a high top right away. The service was quick and our server was friendly. This is a great place to have fresh oysters, a cold beer and watch the game. I can't wait to go back!

The food at this establishment is amazing. We had the seafood chowder which was out of this world. We also had the fish tacos, which were delicious with a nice thick piece of fish. This is a casual bar type setting with high tables and stools. Our waitress was amazing and the service was excellent. We plan on coming back sooner rather than later! I prefer to have a back to my chair otherwise I would've given five stars.

After a nice sauna session a few doors down, we stopped in here for a light dinner. Did not disappoint! Lots of parking in the back, and this place is among several other places on the corner of Ocean and Main. It was pretty full, but we got seated in a cozy spot up front. Immediately drawn to the octopus salad, but also tried the tuna wrap. A half dozen oysters while wating. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the wrap was nice and packed. This might become a regular after-sauna spot. Water glasses were filled often, and the service was nice and cheerful.

Enjoyed a sampling of oysters, delicious! and blackened fish tacos..superb! Enjoyed with a margarita. Small but tasty and cozy vibe. Service friendly and fast. Highly recommend.

No one cared to help us. No one greeted us. Bad service. Not welcoming. Would not recommend

One of the best food experiences I have had in a while. We sat at the bar and right from the start I knew that I was going to like my experience because of the bartender. Nice, friendly, and accommodating. Oysters are outstanding... many local selections to choose from, but get the "house" oysters called fire island blues. The lobster roll was 9/10 - the lemon aioli gave it a great freshness. I wanted to try the white wine on tap but the co2 was out. They had a good selection of taps and a great cocktail menu. Really good food and cute place.

Absolutely love this place. Amazing food, delicious martinis and super casual, everything I live for!

Absolutely love this place! From the moment we walked in, we could tell this was something special. Nestled in the heart of downtown Patchogue, this new restaurant brings both incredible food and an unmatched vibe that make it the perfect spot for a night out. Though it's on the smaller side--about half the space dedicated to a large, inviting bar, with the other half for tables--there's a charm to it. You get the feeling that it's intimate and personal, but I'd say it's best for smaller groups, as it might be a tight squeeze for larger parties. Honestly, though, that's one of the only things I'd mention, and it doesn't take away from the experience at all. We kicked things off with some adult beverages, and I was impressed by their excellent selection of local beers--always a plus. To start, my wife and I shared the Tuna Poke appetizer. Let me tell you, this was not just a little bite--this was a generous portion of incredibly fresh tuna, served with crispy homemade chips and a side of creamy guacamole. We were both blown away by how flavorful and fresh it was, an absolutely perfect starter. For my entrée, I couldn't resist the Montauk Lobster Roll, and let me tell you, even as someone who's not usually a lobster person, this thing is out of this world. It came packed with a hearty portion of sweet lobster, and the presentation was stellar--lobster claws perched perfectly atop the sandwich, adding that extra touch of elegance. It was served with a side of slaw and pickle, and I opted for a side salad instead of chips or fries. Every bite was perfection, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. My wife went for the Baked Clams as her entrée, and she was absolutely over the moon. She said they were the best clams she's ever had, and I have to agree after stealing a bite off her plate. They were plump, flavorful, and perfectly baked--she was a happy camper. The only downside (and it's a tiny one) is that they don't currently offer a dessert menu, but honestly, it didn't matter. We walked just a couple of minutes over to Roast for a perfect cup of coffee to wrap up the night, which turned out to be the perfect ending. All in all, this place deserves 5/5 stars without a doubt. From the food to the vibe, everything is top-notch. You won't be disappointed here--it's an absolute must-try, and we're already planning our next visit.

I was quite excited and keen on checking out catch oyster bar as my friend had mentioned what a delicious meal she had had recently with another friend! We showed up on a Friday evening around 6 PM and were kindly greeted and we only waited about five minutes till we got a great table. Michaela (sp?) is a wonderful host and waited on us throughout the evening! She was fantastic and so patient and wonderful with us! Everything we ordered came out perfectly cooked, fresh, hot and delicious just as one would expect! We had crabcakes to start with, shared the blackened 'Red Snapper' fish tacos, and the New England clam chowder was to die for! We also had some yummy fresh as can be oysters and some jumbo shrimp and simply loved everything we ordered! Can't wait to come back here without hesitation! Thanks for a wonderful lovely evening! Cheers :)

My absolute favorite place in Patchogue. Must get the pickle martini... high recommendation for the Fire island Blues, Lucky 13, and pink moons oysters. Long Island oysters and beers... excellent and friendly staff!

Everything was great service, food, Drinks, really enjoyed ourselves will definitely continue to go don't change anything!

I'm going to try to write this using the word "awesome" as little as possible, but if you're in the mood for some of the most awesome oysters on the Island, this place would be an awesome choice. Check the menu on the wall to see what's on hand, but the Peconic Bay variety were eye opening to me (Read: awesome). I love oysters and this place is, well...awesome. Parking in Patchogue usually sucks, the place is small, but the food is great here. All major cards.

Fantastic vibe. Great food. Fair prices. I could hang in here all day long. Excellence delivered with consideration and casualness.

Catch Oyster Bar is still one of my favorite seafood places in Patchogue. The location is small but worth the wait. Luckily I didn't wait when I went. The tuna poke is still on point. I ordered the clam linguini and hubby went with the lobster roll. The Paloma was really good! I had two! The staff was super friendly and the food all came out at a good time.

I was looking for good, fresh seafood. I didn't realize Catch Oyster Bar had such a small dining area but the server was able to accommodate our party of 3. Everything was excellent. The Manhattan clam chowder was slightly spicy and bountiful with clams and other good stuff. I wasn't planning on getting raw oysters but never been to a place where there was a choice of like 12 different types of fresh oysters! I chose the fire island and naked cowboy haha - they were so good! My entree was fried oysters. They were big and tender - no comparison to the fried clam strips I've had in the past. Our server was very attentive and took great care of us. I highly recommend this place.

We love this place! We live nearby and have gone quite a few times. It is a bit pricey but that's the usual for the area which is great. Another Patchogue restaurant to add to the list to check out! I am a big fan of their fried flounder sandwich and chowder fries. Always check out their specials too!

Great place for fresh seafood. Been here a few times. Always a solid spot. My only gripe was the beer. Both iPA's were flat. Barrier and five boroughs are great breweries and produce great beer. I was appreciative the bartender/cook assisted and tried to fix. It did help a little . Those are great beers and need to be perfectly poured without being flat. Could be the line or CO2. I'm sure issue will be fixed next time with that said. .. the main attraction oysters were great. Followed up by clams and shrimp. All great

Absolutely delicious seafood with outstanding customer service! It is a small place with limited seating, and fills up fast, but we were lucky enough to roll in just before the Memorial Day weekend dinner rush and snag the last table they had for two. We ordered the Baked Clams, Fried Oysters Rockefeller, New England Clam Chowder, Manhattan Clam Chowder, and the Lobster Roll substituting the chips for their fries. Everything was incredible--especially the Fried Oyster Rockefeller, we had never seen them done this way with the fried oyster on top. Also very reasonably priced--our bill came out to about $105 for all the food we ordered plus my beer and an iced tea. Overall a seriously great spot in Patchogue--if not one of the best for seafood. We will definitely be back.

This place was packed when I arrived with hubby. The waitress was able to accommodate the two of us and get us a table. There was some room at the bar, but it seemed like everyone in town is here. As in there are regulars who have been here all the time. The bar is cozy, so if you like to spread out or have fears of pandemic. This is not the bar for you. Other than that, I really enjoyed it here. We placed this on our must visit list, because of their impressive list of options for raw oysters. And the bar was amazing. It did live up to it's name. Catch. We both found it a catch. The oysters tasted fresh and was really memorable for me. I liked the service. Our waitress was nice and helpful. And she was the only one manning the whole place besides the bartenders. Before I forget to mention, the drinks were strong. I would totally come back.

Best oysters in Patchogue. Always fresh and a great selection of local, PEI and west coast. I love their selections of mignonette, hot sauces and horse radish. The place has a great vibe and cozy feel. So long as everything remains fresh, I will be coming back frequently. I originally tried this place years ago and loved their jambalaya, I don't know why it took me a couple years to circle back. Now I'm just feeding the oyster addiction. Service is great. Family owned.

I love a place we can go in. The owners is always on premise. Tends to maintain the best quality and the best choices. They've always got a number of choices for your oysters recommend them.

Service and food are always excellent! Local place with a flair for making patrons feel at home. Our go to place!

It is not summer if I haven't had a lobster roll for the season. So far I've had three this summer. I have tried different spots this time. I am happy to report this lobster roll is on my top three. Catch's take is interesting. This roll has mayo, butter and some type of dressing on the bun instead of the lobster chunks. It is absolutely delicious and worth a visit. Absolutely recommend coming here.

Catch is always bustling with a fun crowd, and here's why. The food is phenomenal. If you're a seafood lover, you have to get in here. It's a small, pub style setup, but that's what adds to the charm. It's got that "Cheers" feel but with great food. My favorite app is the roasted oysters. Although the tuna poke bowl is no joke! For dinner Friday we had the seared tuna special served with risotto and charred asparagus. The lemon butter caper sauce in that dish was DEEElish. We also had the warm lobster roll. Buttery, tender and flavorful. Get yourself over there, get some tasty seafood and hang with the friendly and fun staff of Catch Oyster Bar!

Once again, it didn't disappoint! Sicilian calamari is wonderful! Shrimp cocktail, best I've had in a while. Fried oysters bomb! Ruby is a great bartender, on point! Love this place, nice, quaint, freshest seafood around. I don't have to mention the oysters, best around!

Another visit to catch oyster bar, another 5-star experience. Fresh oysters with a phenomenal selection. Can't beat their clam chowders, so perfect for the cold season like November. Crab cakes, mussels, and baked clams were all so delicious. If we are going to Long Island, we will be stopping by here.

I came here the first time for a celebratory lunch. The waitress was attentive. The food was pretty good and the oysters were tasty. They were $34 a dozen or $3 each (middle of the line for this location) and the waitress explained each type and origin. I got half a dozen and they were delicious. So were the sauces. My partner was unimpressed with the size and taste of his soft crab special which I assume was around $20. My crab cake slider was just that, a tiny slider with chowder for $18. The portions were very small but the food was decent, so we were willing to deal. The issue is that I came back for round 2 and was ignored. I had gone to brunch with a friend and decided I had a hankering for oysters again. We sat for about 5 minutes and were completely ignored. We were the only ones there. We sat in the same very prominent window seat, and although this restaurant is tiny, they somehow "did not see us" and the older gentleman and woman resumed "kekeing" over tap beer and whatever else seemed to be hilarious. The waitress appeared to be going to break, and the guys in the back were chilling against the grill. I don't know how you don't see or hear customers, and if it's siesta time, lock your door. I ended up going somewhere else with good oysters, friendly service and bought my Father's Day gift certificate somewhere where I knew they would be able to enjoy the food AND service.

Great service and food. Spot is a little small, so if you have a group, I would call ahead.

The place is physically small off the main road. The menu is limited but the flavors are big. If I win the lottery I would eat here every night, it's that good. Seafood is their thing and they are experts. They have a full bar and sports on the TV so peeps can get a little loud, this is not a romantic spot. But eat plenty of oysters and even more oysters and then bring your romance back home. I had fish tacos and the fish that night was red snapper which was a treat since most places use frozen cod or other whitefish. The snapper was fresh and tender. I imagined that I just caught it that day myself. Plenty of fish in each taco. There was only one soft shell for each taco which quickly fell apart, two may be better but I'm not sure how it would impact the flavors of the sauce and condiments. Regardless, grab hold, bite down and don't let go until you polish off that taco, enjoy the juice dripping all over your hands. I can attest that it makes a great breakfast the following day. Happy smile.

Amazing as always, best seafood in Long Island, the oysters are so fresh their vinegar sauce for them is the best I have ever had. The cocktails use fresh squeezed juice to order. Quick and friendly service never can go wrong here

$22 and 40 minutes driving to get 5 pieces of "McDonald chicken nuggets SIZE " Fried Oysters and box of French fries. I am simply silly enough to have fried oysters in NY. Oh boy I really miss Boston. However, the service is really nice, people here is sweet and friendly. It's more like a little bar you can drink and chill than a proper seafood restaurant.

Amazing clam chowder and a perfect little break when traveling from the city. Good service and good ambiance. Small, so no large groups

The place can get a little packed as the interior is on the smaller side. But the food and drinks!! My gosh!! So good!! Got the lobster roll - which was perfection! Ordered it with a side of fries - which were also top notch!! I got a cocktail called the "Watch Hill" - which is grapefruit vodka, soda, agave, and real grapefruit - which was such a summery and light drink. It was really a great experience. I think generally seafood can be a little on the pricey side as most folks would expect. My only little areas of interest is they charged me extra for fries instead of taking the default "chips" - which I think is a little weird. And they do an extra charge if you're not paying in cash. Which I have seen some places before but I usually expect more "divey" places to do that - but that's just more of a tip as you're coming into it.

My husband and I stopped by Catch Oyster Bar a few days ago for lunch and dined outside. My hubby grew up and lived in the area and has been to this establishment many times, but for some reason, this was the first time he brought me to the Catch Oyster Bar. My honest feeling after this meal, "Wow! I've been missing out!" We came around 1:30 PM because my husband wanted Happy Hour oysters. $1.25, you can't beat it. There were also so many great seafood options on their menu that we ended up trying out. A seafood lover and foodie's haven, for sure. Aside from the oysters, we tried the Lobster Roll and Chowder Fries. O-M-G...heaven. The Lobster Roll was phenomenal on a nice buttery, toasted roll with their lemon mayo spread was to die for (don't opt out for that lemon mayo because it totally makes the whole sandwich). The Chowder Fries were so unique: crispy fries with old bay seasoning, melted cheese (none of that gross liquid cheese stuff), bacon, and smothered in...CLAM CHOWDER. I'm drooling just thinking about them. So amazing. A great treat to try and share with your table for sure! Portions were generous and food was top notch. Upon entering the outside seating area, we were promptly greeted and seated by a friendly waitress. Her attention to us from the second we stepped on the premises to leaving the restaurant never wavered. Exceptional! As a a first timer, I was highly impressed with the Catch Oyster Bar and couldn't believe it took my husband so long to take me here. This is now a must visit spot for me while in town visiting family . If you're in the mood for some amazing seafood options in downtown Patchogue, look no further, the Catch Oyster Bar is your spot!

Went on recommendation and was so happy we did! Very small place with a bar and maybe 2 high tops and a couple of tables. Very friendly staff and incredible seafood. Bon and I tried everything on the menu... Cherrystones, Oysters, clam chowder, shrimp cocktail et. al... Everything was so fresh and tasted like the ocean...Mmmmmm! We went for Happy hour so prices were excellent and made everything taste even better! Highly recommended!!!

A year later and Catch is still amazing! Consistent high quality with their food and drinks. Their oysters are always amazing, my personal favorites are the pink moons! Ambiance is always lovely and service is also always amazing!

Came after sometime place was dirty take a look at the kitchen Service horrible waitress was more interested in her friend at the bar then the customer Food was ok o should have left will never be back disappointed had always enjoyed it here

Had lunch at this little gem today! Amazing oysters, lobster roll and of course, a nice glass of wine. But, the most important thing..the service! My friend and I sat at the bar and watched the owner, Mike, make magic in every skillet..and then he noticed that we weren't happy with our lobster rolls..totally our mistake, but they were hot and we didn't realize that when we ordered .. they WERE excellent, just not our preference..and he insisted on making us new, wonderful cold ones..they don't even have that on their menu!!! Not an inexpensive order to replace AND he did it with total grace! Catch will be forever on my list for fabulous, fresh seafood and the best service!
