5 Best Seafood Restaurants in Brookings

“Food was very good. Seated quickly, then a long wait while later comers got their drinks and appetizers before our server arrived. So, service was very slow. Sort of got lost by staff. Atmosphere was somewhat sterile. Rating should probably be a 3.5. Fast talking server. No drink menu.“

“This place is bustling at lunch time! If you’re looking for fried fish food on the water, this will scratch the itch. Very tasty, friendly staff, and great location. I ordered the combo to try a bit of everything. There may be a wait at peak hours so call ahead or plan accordingly.“

“Can we all say Steamer clams. YUM!! It's by far the best I have had in a 400 miles radius. I have had them at many places and none compare to the Catalyst. The flavor is on point, that sausage really tops it off. I will always get the steamers. Also the Coastal Lemonade drink is awesome 👌. Their fresh oysters are great too when served on the half shell, not a fan of the ones served in a plastic cup. Just doesnt feel right. Happy to see they are serving their drinks in glasses now, not plastic cups. I highly suggest checking this spot out. They offer out door seating which is great on a sunny day. 🌞 customer service has always been good.“

“**ASK FOR JENNIE AS YOUR SERVER** The best part about my experience at this restaurant was my server, Jennie. She is new to the area, but so kind and sweet, and really made my experience one to remember. Excellent customer service skills, always on top of everything including drink refills, and was so personable. We left her a huge tip, and I recommend you do so too, she deserves it for being such a hard worker! The food was also incredible. I got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, very rich and has a great made from scratch taste ! I really enjoyed the dish and the restaurant in general ! Would recommend and I would definitely come back again ! I included photos of my food and the menu !“

“Good food and good service. Please turn down the live music. It is so loud both inside and out that you can't talk over it. Nice music, it's just a couple of notches too loud. Thanks!“
