Catalyst Seafood Restaurant & Lounge

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.

Thank you Catalyst for making my anniversary everything I wanted. We arrived on time for our reservation only to find out that you’d just sold out of crab. You guys went above and beyond to make it right and got us our crab. I look forward to eating with you every year for this day and you did not disappoint. The steak Oscar was amazing as well. Thanks to our server Mariah, and the manager for everything

Great place to grab a bite after a grand day at the beach

You want the loaded clam chowder bread bowl.

Not sure what happened. Maybe they got a new cook? They used to have the best clam chowder in the area . The last two times it has been watery and barely any clams/potatoes .
Have been here before for some and and the food was wonderful otherwise .

The popcorn shrimp appetizer is big enough to be a whole meal on its own. If I could have found at least one thing to complain about, it still would be a 5/5. Great place!

came in with my husband, waited for over 15 minutes to be seated. Had one family in front of us waiting for a table. Another came in and immediately got seated. Kept getting looked at by 3 different people not a single greeting or anything said to us and the girl who was working the front went to the bar once it was our turn. Racist ass restaurant.
