Fisherman's Catch Restaurant & Lounge

I recently visited Fisherman’s Catch Restaurant & Lounge in Forest Hill, MD, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the start, the booth placement was strange — directly beside the area where staff input orders. The atmosphere felt outdated, and even the condiments on the table looked old. My glass of water arrived discolored, in a cracked cup that leaked, which immediately raised concerns. Our server was friendly at first but disappeared for over 15 minutes after dropping off our drinks. When our appetizer, the crab pretzel, arrived, things went downhill fast. The topping tasted like an overly sweet mayonnaise mixture with crab that seemed thawed in water — unpleasant and inedible. We hoped the entrées would be better, but sadly they weren’t.

Highly recommend! Delicious crab pretzel! I also got the Cajun chicken and rice with broccoli. Which was cooked perfectly! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive! I finished our dinner with a wonderful cup of hot chocolate! Definitely check this place out!

Updated 5/19/23: Went again. Waitress Denise (owners list her name as Dennis in their system) was sincerely one of the best waitresses we've ever had. Extremely friendly, funny, caring, engaging, and attentive. We would have enjoyed her company if she sat down to join us! The food was so delicious and the portions are enormous! I had blackened tilapia, broccoli, and lemon basmati rice. SO good! My wife had the mussels special and a side salad; the huge oval platter was overflowing with mussels, and she loved them. I can't emphasize enough how you really must try Fisherman's Catch! ***** Ok. Force yourself to get over the stigma of eating dinner at the bowling alley! Nothing against bowling (I was in a league a time or two in my life). But this restaurant should be in your place

The restaurant is very casual. No ambience. My husband and I ordered crab cake and scallops and steak and crab cake with an appetizer of crab dip. I love crab cakes and expected a full lump cake. The cake must have been processed crab. No lumps only tiny pieces of meat with a lot of filler. The scallops were decent and so was the steak. Interestingly, the dip had large hunks of crab meat. Our server Katie was attentive and when she saw our uneaten crab cake she asked if we wanted a box. It was my birthday, so very disappointed.

Great food for date night. Friendly service. I had the stuffed scallops and they were delicious. Served covered with crab meat the scallops were tender and scrumptious. I don't know how they prepare their broccoli but we can't miss it. I taste a hint of lemon. Hubby had steak prepared perfectly medium rare.
