Catch in Belfast

Excellent burgers, even better service@

This was the second time we have visited Stix & Stones meat wagon. The food was excellent. Staff are so friendly and helpful. The portions are huge. Will 100% be going again

1st time here since the rebrand to MW. Friendly staff. Burger size was disappointing, approx the size of a McD's double cheese burger. Smash burgers are usually bigger with a caramelised edge. Flavour came from the dressing the meat of the burger was bland, and the temperature was 'warm' would have enjoyed more if the temperature of the patties was consistent with the sides. Batter on the onion rings was light and crispy - really good. Fries, standard but a good portion. I would return again but order something else. Burger disappointing and is too pricey (£13) for what it was.

If you're looking for one of the best burgers in Belfast, Stix & Stones is the place to go! I ordered the Wagon Burger, and it was absolutely fantastic. The brioche bun was soft, the salad was cut perfectly, and the sauce was just beautiful. Plus, the fries were spot on—crispy and delicious. The service was great too, really friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Everything was done right, and I can honestly say it’s the best burger I’ve had in the city. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Fantastic service and atmosphere. The brisket like others were saying is super dry and almost like jerky. Ribs were also dry too.

Short rib and brisket was too dry

Meat wasnt smoked right , taste lik and ashtray , wings were nice tho , def not a good bbq spot 😒

I popped into this Joint on a trip to Belfast last week, I was looking literally anywhere for somewhere to eat as I’d only just arrived in the city, I was really happy to find this place. Just a few doors down from a fantastic shop window containing dry aging beef, this was my kind of place. The food was excellent, I had the War Pig burger and a side of Beef Fat Chips, all very nice indeed, the serving sizes were pretty good and the price was reasonable. Service was excellent, friendly staff, very helpful. And the food was top notch, the burger and chips both fantastic, with a lovely bacon jam on the burger (yummy)….. We returned the following evening, this time I had Beef short rib, and the Smoked chorizo, once again I cannot fault the food or service, we’re coming back to Belfast next Summer, and will definitely be coming back to the Meat Wagon on that trip.

We went for a quick lunch as they were advertised in Belfast Restaurant Week. What seemed to be the manager was reluctant to advise us of the offer, but we were able to advise him that we were there for Belfast Restaurant Week. I’ve made better burgers at home. I would steer clear of this place at all costs. Far better places out there offering 10 times better. Definitely won’t be back.

Service was fantastic. Relaxed and professional. The kitchen staff, meaning the cooks, are doing a wonderful job. Turning out some top notch meals. This restaurant will be my number one recommendation for any friends going to Belfast.

First meal in Belfast and although the service was great, very fast. The atmosphere was fine. The price was okay..the Bar-B-Q fell short. The 3 meat selection platter with 2 sides portion wise was more than adequate. But the brisket....ohhhh...so sad...!!! I would not serve this meat to my friends. It was very dry, lacked flavor. Just not good. No fat at all. No fat = no flavor..!! The sauce made it edible... The " short rib"..it was one big rib, one big rib with very little meat on it. If they are selling the short ribs by weight...than it's a win for the restaurant, the customers gets the bone. The bone was 80%.. The wings, well they were decent. The sides were good. Just work on that dry brisket. I would come back, order a burger...avoid the BBQ. At least the brisket. Just being honest..

Great location in the heart of the city burgers are to die for 😍

Enjoyed a platter for 2. Brisket was a little dry but otherwise delicious.

Nice place to go and try, staff are very helpful and friendly. I thought that the smoked meat, especially the short back ribs were over done quite burnt on the outside and left a bit of an after taste. The wings were very tasty and the brisket was nice, again smoked a bit too much and the sides were very nice. I would go back and try the smash burgers.

Got an order from the Takeaway section of the restaurant - which largely seemed quite awkward and unwelcoming due to the open nature of the kitchen and having pretty much no decoration of interest in the area. Though the expense of eating out in Belfast has increased in the past number of years - do yourself a favour, save a tenner and go to mcdonalds instead. For 17 quid I ordered a burger and a side of cornbread. The burger was alright, very tough and nothing special whatsoever which now is a place of regret in thinking of my bank account. The cornbread was disasterous, especially considering it was ice cold which was ultimately confusing due to it being wrapped in tinfoil. Once again, for 4 pounds you'd atleast expect a somewhat decent side, but it was too much of a bad cake-like experience to justify ever getting it again. Overall this was a very disappointing experience, which lead me to believe that the sit in part of the restaurant may be better, although in reading other reviews, perhaps not.

Wanted to try this place as seen good reviews online. Went in on a quiet Monday evening (shop almost empty) and were asked if we had a booking. We didn’t book and a female staff member with blonde hair rolled her eyes and let out an audible sigh upon hearing this and walked off muttering something unintelligible. Unimpressed, we took our business elsewhere.

Oh my what a belfast gem! Busy place, I'd recommend booking because they'd to turn ppl away. Food was top notch, especially the beef dripping chips, havnt tasted them frm my granny made them back in the day lol!

Very nice ribs, friendly staff and quick service!

Amazing service and Amazing staff. So friendly and accommodating. One of the best places I've been in belfast. Value for money is great. edit: this review was for 'the Catch', a restaurant sadly no longer in business and previously in this location.

Wanted to love this place. Restaurant looked good and Service was fantastic but the food was really poor. We ordered the sharing platter. Brisket was very thin and hard like beef jerky, pulled pork had a off putting tang, sides all very low quality. Ribs however were very nice. We Wouldn't return or recommend 3/10.

Friendly and welcoming staff, great selection of food options from platters to burgers. Only very minor niggle would be that the brisket tasted a bit over-smoked, but other than that the food was delicious.

Great food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff too!

Amazing burgers and even better onion rings! Selection of meats and vegan. Friendly, helpful staff and relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place!

Full marks from me. A Truck Driver’s delight. Ordered a range of food, chicken, BBQ ribs etc. Simply delicious and excellent service. Be back again.

Got a chicken burger with chips was absolutely delicious and the service was great

Really poor, marketed as a BBQ restaurant but the moment we walked through the door we should have known. BBQ restaurants tend to have a smell, an atmosphere…none of that…ain’t nothing being grilled in this place and the atmosphere was nonexistent. At best guess, boiling meat and smothering it in sauce. When you have to take a knife to beef brisket you now you’ve been had. The waitress knew all too well, comped us a round of drinks as apology. Hands down the worst dining experience I’ve had, which is a shame as I thought being affiliated with Stix and stones we’d be on to a winner.

I was charged 2 different prices for exactly the same meal 2 days apart. Not very hygienic either as the lady serving (on 24/07/2024 evening) kept rubbing her hands on her trousers and then touching & serving food. She was not friendly at all.

It was OK. Nothing to write home about. Portion sizes were good so would be filling if you were hungry. Being charged £1.30 for a tiny pot of garlic mayonnaise was a bit of a shocker. Burger was a bit dry and not really enjoyable. It wasn't terrible. It just wasn't great.

Food was delicious. Staff also fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Super great atmosphere, delicious burgers, great fries and just really good. The music fits and the many colorful lamps bring liveliness. Right in the center of Belfast and the City Hall. The beer also tastes good and a real recommendation. Something wrong was brought in and we asked nicely and it was sorted out immediately. A real must if you're in Belfast

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food and very reasonable prices. Staff were very courteous and attentive. Will definitely return.

Went on a business lunch here. Shared a Smokehouse Platter of 6oz Sliced BBQ Brisket, Full Rack of Baby Back Ribs, 6 Wings, Slaw, Corn on the Cob & Fries. Plenty of food. The brisket was tasty if a little sweet with the BBQ sauce. The ribs were crunchy on the outside but the meat was tender. Couldn't finish it especially with the fries, corn and coleslaw. A little pricey at £31.95 but generous portions.

The food here is exceptionally bland. The menu makes you think the meat is going to be smokey, barbecued, and filled with meaty flavour but the meat tastes (and I'm truly not exaggerating) like it has been boiled in plain water. The beef is like a bland tasteless watery roast beef. Don’t call it brisket if it’s not! The burgers are just bland, and also taste boiled. Totally unseasoned. The hot sauce doesn’t help the burger at all. The chicken burger is again totally tasteless, it tastes like they battered it in plain flour and water. The loaded fries were okay. Nothing to write home about. The day I went the place was pretty dead but the staff were still really slow. This is what we want from a smokehouse - actually put some effort into seasoning your meat. Smoke it, make a bbq glaze. Cook the burgers on a BBQ and season them! Fried chicken should also be seasoned! Flour is not a seasoning!

Wow! I don’t know which one is worse … the service or the food … the fries were burned and the burger was cold … the elotes is something that just … no 👎

Absolutely amazing food was very happy! Had seen decent reports and always wanted to go. Girlfriend booked it as a small birthday dinner and couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. Definitely will be back!!

Brilliant place for a spot of lunch or dinner, great atmosphere and friendly staff, the burgers are great and so are the ribs , recommend it to everyone

Avoid, sat for 45 minutes and the waitress hadn't even put the order into the kitchen. Ended up just leaving, don't go there

Was very loud as we were sitting under the speaker

Out for a family birthday had a sharing platter which was more than enough for 2 people. Catered well for kids too. Food was excellent will definitely be back.

Our food took an hour to come out and then once out it got sent straight back to be reheated as it was freezing, this was 3 picanha sharing steaks. The meat it self was nice but very very chewy steak should melt in your mouth like butter not give your jaw an exercise & also 1 order for the table was completely forgot about. The service & Customer service was excellent although when offered a dessert for the inconvenience caused we asked could we swap them for a beverage instead and were told no. Was very disappointed by this. The OG stix & stones is top shelf, This is not, a lot of room for improvement

Been here few times. Food and service 1st class and very reasonably priced also. Will definitely be back.

The wait for food was long. 3 Large groups got served before us

Bad smell of industrial bleach escaping the toilets did leave a great ambience ,sorry. But the food was great.

Booking online was easy. Arrived on time but needed to wait 5 minutes for the table despite a few tables being open. We ordered 3 starters and a dessert. Two out of four were great, other two not so much. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Toilet area was not pleasant. Overall a good experience and pricing was fair.

For a great steak in Belfast, I highly recommend this place

Going in I had high expectations for the food but these were unfortunately not met. This was my first time here so I'm not sure if we visited on an off day. We ordered a number of starters to share. The hash brown stack was very nice, the chipolatas and BBQ wings were good, but the brisket bites were dry, the mac and cheese bites were flavourless, and the corn was overcooked. We all ordered the platter as a main. Two of us asked to substitute the fries for BBQ beans which was possible (much appreciated), but the beans were sadly undercooked, if they'd even been cooked at all. It felt like someone had dumped them straight from a can into the sauce and then served immediately after heating them up for a minute or two. The brisket was better than the brisket bites, but still drier than I would've liked. The ribs were also dry and somewhat meagre. The teriyaki chicken wings were dry and extremely salty. The coleslaw was bland and the corn was once again overcooked. The cocktails were fine. Two of us ordered milkshakes with a shot of Bailey's. The flavour was good and the milkshake was fine, but the ice cream seemed to contain ice crystals which you wouldn't really expect when paying close to a tenner for it. Service was good and attentive. Wait times for the food were okay. The amount of food was good, but they should definitely focus on quality over quantity. A lot of the meat was akin to, if not slightly worse than, the type of pre-cooked and vacuum-packed meats with sauce that you'd buy in a shop like Tesco and heat at home in the oven. The rest of the group didn't seem as disappointed with the food as I was, but I personally don't think I'll be back.

Excellent meal with matching service. The burgers are great - I had the Beef Squared with Brisket and it was really nice. Servers were attentive and we never had to go looking for anything.

This place is an absolute gem! From the second we walked in we were greeted an seated an the menu read to us with portion sizes and what goes with what! My partner has allergens to gluten an diary when the waitor/stand in manager heard this he went straight to the kitchen an told my partner what she could have on the menu! He treated her with so much respect that she felt "normal" as most places make her feel alienated due to her allergies... the waitor/stand in manager was fantastic the food & cocktails was absolutely incredible I had the pork sharing plater which was cooked to perfection and portion sizes were perfect! My partner doubled up with a grilled chicken burger an the amazing beef cooked fries! Not an *influencer* or anything special! I would definitely go back an have told all my friends the same! Thank you for making our first time there my birthday & our anniversary perfect! Until next time meat wagon! Keep doing your thing! 15/10 amazing!

Got one of the platter meals, the ribs had barely any sauce on them, the brisket tasted like roast beef from a Sunday dinner and the hot sauce wings were cold when they arrived. The wifes burger looked good tho. Service was EXTREMELY slow, we arrived early and sat at the bar for a drink whilst waiting for our table, then when we did get seated it took about 5-10 mins before someone asked for our order. After finishing dinner at 19:55, our plates were lifted at about 20:00. By the time it got to 25 past 8, we had not been spoken to once or asked if we wanted desert. We were going to go for a Brownie but decided just to leave and stop somewhere on the way home. Plenty of staff walked past us and not once did anyone stop to see to us. Was very dissappointed and will not be back for quite some time sadly.

Staff are great, very welcoming. Food is very poor. Brisket is not proper brisket you get a couple dry burnt slices on top of your burger. Value for money is genuinely embarrassing. Burgers are £10-£15 with no side and they are tiny. Loaded fries were so stingy. Spent the guts of £70 on dinner and drinks to walk out hungry. Actually a took a photo of the food they charged near £50 for cause i was that surprised

So so good! Food was great, service was immaculate (Johnny was our waiter) loved it and will be back soon!

Dined here last night and I won’t be in a rush back. Initially welcomed, seated and a drinks order taken. The decor and music sets a nice atmosphere. Ordered our food and had a wait of anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour only to have a server then give us the next tables food. Mistakes happen. When asked when our food would be ready I was given a stock “15 minutes” response. I asked for the bill at which point we were told our food would be 1 minute. Hot honey wings were mild at best, ribs were verging on cold, chips were fairly average too. Despite the long wait there was no check back during our main from the team, or the manager. We were offered a free dessert for the wait, I went for the cheesecake which was surprisingly dry… The place has bags of potential, but I work too hard to put any more of my money through the till.

Very expensive for not a lot of food, tasteless food. Seemed good but was given a hand full of chips and 4 small chicken tenders that had no flavour, and was £11.65. There a chipy round the corner that’s 10 times better and cheaper. Just thought I’d give this one a go but would give to my dog. Also it’s really hard to find on google or justeat (takeaway/ meat wagon takeway) seems to be the name. I would also not recommend any food from here. Go round the corner or to the centra down the street.

Excellent service and value! However, the food was excessively salty and lacked freshness.

Good value for money, food was nice however I would definitely not recommend the Katsu Burger as it didn’t take anything like Katsu Curry & the Lime sauce didn’t compliment it at all. Service was quite slow and food did take a while but the servers were all nice, friendly and helpful.

Food was not good at all . The ribs was burnt the chicken was the worst I’ve eaten. Al in all they need to put the chef’s in that police wagon and take them away

The food wasn’t bad quality and had nice flavours although it took a while to arrive as well as our drinks. The service was the part that lacked , for how quiet it was (Maximum of 10 tables ) and about the same in staffing, we waited far too long for Luke warm coronas to arrive and then again for more drinks to be ordered as our our food took a while . The toilets lacked cleanliness and the same as the restaurant as the booth was sticky and the floors where dirty and from the entrance to the restaurant the bar was covered in dirty glasses and open exit the bar was still covered in the same dirty glasses . Probably wouldn’t return - it is however reasonably priced , just needs fine tuned .

My katsu burger was burned and really tough to eat. The loaded fries were really good. It was a Friday evening at 5pm very quiet. I was a little disappointed as I had saw lots of photos and videos on Instagram but the reality was very different.

Went for lunch on a week day. Lovely restaurant. Service was fast and staff very friendly and nice. Food was great and we will be back

Burnt ends were not burnt ends, service was very slow, I did enjoy the ribs

Food was ok, the sharing platters are generally one portion not the two advertised unless you get a big one. Wings where delicious and ribs where fine. Reasonably priced

Never meat your heroes ..... i was gutted. I have wanted to try this place since it opened I love BBQ /smoked food . Missus isn't a fan so took a trip on my own for lunch . Very unhappy bartender showed me to my table then walked away before I even sat down. Ordered burnt ends . They were NOT burnt ends . Cubed beef no smoke no real flavor saturated in sheap BBQ sauce . Tip for the staff if your gonna make fun of a guy for coming to a restaurant alone make sure he can't hear you . Main I got the big platter . Wings were beautiful cooked very well and meat fell of the bone . Ribs were OK but the sauce isn't great . Brisket was embarrassing. Like the inside of a Greg's steak bake ...... SMOKED BRISKET .. Google it . After hearing about the chefs mad one and the waitress still hanging I had enuf and left . Genuinely gutted .

***MOST REVIEWS RELATE TO A RESTAURANT WHICH USED TO OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE, NOT MEAT WAGON - RATING MISLEADING*** Food very bit hit and miss. The brisket was not BBQ - more like a bit of roast beef in gravy. Wings good, ribs OK. Starter of sausages (and just sausages) in a plastic basket was awful. Feels like a place serving OK meat trying to pretend to be a proper BBQ place. Worst restaurant I've been to in quite a while.

Food quality was terrible. Brisket was slimy shredded meat not proper brisket. Ribs were tough. Burnt Ends were nothing like real burnt ends, almost a mush. There are other places in NI doing real BBQ food. Do not eat this. I went with 8 people who all felt the same. Wings were good though.

We ordered one of the smokehouse platters to share. We were not asked any additional questions regarding this, and as it was our first visit, we didn't know any different. However, when our food arrived, the chicken wings (entirely drumstick) were covered in franks hot sauce. They have 4 wing sauce options, including BBQ, which, given it was a "Smokehouse Platter" would have at least made more sense and allowed us to actually eat them. The brisket is served in small cast iron skillets, which were not warmed in order to keep the food warm. I checked this as it arrived at our table so I could move it to my side of the large tray. The brisket was also swimming in gravy, so verging on a soup, which felt very much like a way to cover up any dry meat but each to their own. The ribs were the biggest let down, they were cold through to the bone shortly after arriving at the table. In my opinion and experience with this kind of cusine. Meals come down piping to ensure no matter how you decide to eat and share the platter thst things are still warm. Bare in mind we didn't have the food in front of us more than 20 minutes before we asked for the bill. Cocktails were for me overpriced, especially in relation to the Southside, which in its basic is gin and tonic topped with mint. Order in some tonic so gin drinkers are forced to pay extra for mint. Soda water, syrup, and lime juice are not good alternative. Staff were fine, and generally, I have no complaints about our interaction with the staff bar in the hot wings situation. I wish I'd read the most recent reviews. Changing the business name instead of this being a new business listing the reviews with any positivity are referring to Catch not to The Meat Wagon and even then were pretty poor in the last year.

It was ok. Burger was nice enough. the platter was decent, although I'd have liked to have been asked about a flavour of wings. We had to ask to be moved seats as there was an air con problem they seemed to know about. I ordered a milkshake which tasted a bit strange & didn't seem cold. Burger didn't come with a fries option, but double up was cheap. The brisket was a bit underwhelming, but the ribs were outstanding. Our waitress was a pleasant girl who's name I did not get unfortunately. We had to go looking the bill.

Nice friendly staff - great food - fantastic location. Down side no parking but plenty of carparks close.

I don’t often read reviews but after seeing videos/pics of food from online influencers compared to the food I received, thought I’d highlight to others the difference in food you might receive if you’re not an “influencer”. I was so excited to try this place and what a let down. Myself and my partner went here and and got 2 burgers, 1 portion of skinny’s, 1 portion of sweet potato fries (as there’s no sides included with burgers) and 1 can of beer which came to £36. We were both so disappointed with the food received. The burger I received was pretty pathetic and the chips were honestly basic oven chips with no seasoning and were like cardboard. Photo attached for you to see for yourself. On a positive note, our waitress was lovely and she made the experience more enjoyable - if it wasn’t for her, I would have really been pushing for a refund today.

Visit twice, absolutely loved this place amazing food amazing staff

Ate here on Saturday night after looking forward to it for 2 weeks. So disappointing. It’s advertised as a high-quality BBQ smokehouse but all the food was bland and clearly hadn’t been near a BBQ or a smoker. They had even run out of beer. Won’t be back.

Cocktails and staff were nice. But that's about the height of it. Corn on the cob was under cooked. Ribs were served either cold or near enough, because by the time I got to them (max 3 minutes from serving) they were solid and inedible. I'd say they were likely served cold as the sauce didn't even seem to have warmed on them. The rest of the food was fine-ish. But if you're serving chicken wings and don't mention ANYWHERE that they are COATED in hot sauce, you're doing something wrong. I understand wings and hot sauce are synonymous, but I was expecting barbeque wings. Spice levels are usually at least specified on the menu so I know what I'm ordering. I wouldn't have ordered them if I'd known they were spicy. Most importantly, I feel like they definitely should have gotten the reviews on here reset when they stopped being Catch, as it's very misleading when the majority of recent reviews since they became Meat Wagon are incredibly poor and I feel like I've been misled by the great reviews for an entirely different restaurant. TL;DR Overpriced for what we got. Cold food. Very disappointed.

The brisket is just soup, don’t call it brisket just call it soup. Chips where nice fryer chef holding this place down.

We ordered 'burnt ends' for starters. We were given what seemed like cubes of boiled cheap beef. Definitely not smoked or roasted. Rubber meat with disgusting gravy. Main course of room temperature ribs, brisket which was more gravy than meat, chicken drumsticks coated in hot sauce. I neither ordered nor like hot sauce. Ordered chips with bacon and cheese. We received those with peppered sauce over the top (which we didnt order, or like, but were charged extra for.) Corn was fine. Guy that took our order was lovely. Girl that brought the food basically threw the food in front of us. Approx £120 for 3 people. Starter, main and glass of coke each.

Called in a few times for lunch, staff are always attentive and quick to take orders Food was delicious with good service throughout

Amazing food and great service, the burgers are to die for and the ribs are juicy! Great selection of foods for the meat lovers in your life! Cocktails are very different and hand crafted. Good music selection as well!

Food was very poor, an over expensive version of Bubba Q. Ribs and brisket were just about warm a Dirty fires were average. Save yourself money and cook food in air fryer. Very disappointing as I was hoping for some quality slow cooked meat but in realty you could get better cooking rack of ribs form Asda at home

Very good food and friendly staff

Slow and overpriced. Took 45 minutes for starter to arrive. No kids menu. Asked for a baby bowl of soup and potato and got a full bowl of soup and a full bowl of creamed potato. Most expensive baby bowl ever for baby to eat a few spoonfuls. Trawler plate was missing main ingredient when asked if it was what the waiter had told he said yes and went to the kitchen and chef cooked the main ingredient and came to table with it in a bowl. We at this stage was paying the bill £157 for 4 adults and 1 baby under 1.

Unforgettable evening and dinner

They have takeout shop by the side. Great deal for the take out order! Fish is fresh and good size.

Terrible service, food undercooked (muscles)

I have mixed feelings about my dining experience. The burger was good, but the squid was almost impossible to chew, and while the white fish was tasty, the mussels were undercooked. It seems like most of the food might be cooked from frozen. On the service front, there was a stark contrast. A young waiter was delightful and added to the experience. However, the manager's behaviour left much to be desired. My partner and I, while seated on a sofa and sharing a hug, were approached by a staff member who rudely asked us to leave, claiming we were making someone uncomfortable due to our public display of affection. Rather than the manager assessing the situation to understand that our actions were inoffensive, he chose to be impolite towards us. A more appropriate approach would have been for him to gently inform us that someone felt uneasy while also reminding the complainant that showing affection is not against any public behaviour norms. This would have been a fair and balanced way to handle the situation.

Was in on friday my son got oysters he was violently sick the next day, fish and chips nice but batter not crispy and peas stone cold, long wait for food but our waitress was lovely, expensive for what it is, the chips are the saving grace but not many of them, avoid the oysters

The seafood linguine is the best pasta dish I have ever had. Staff is lovely. I’d love to take a flight to Belfast just to have this linguine again

Good picanha sandwich and fish & chips

This is the very best food served well and thoughtfully. Would highly recommend.

We found this place on the off chance, when looking at Google maps for places to eat near our hotel. A quick scan of the menu told us it would cater for all our party (4 of us), so we booked our table for later that evening. There was plenty of choice on the menu, something to cater for all appetites. In fact, there was too much choice, it was hard to choose. Also, before we went, we all said that we weren't that hungry and would only have one course, but all ended up ordering all 3 courses! It was a Monday evening, so not overly busy, and the waiter (Gary) was very attentive and prompt. The food was exceptional in taste, quantity and presentation. You can tell it is all fresh and homemade. We were all passing spoonfuls to one another to try the different dishes. The previous evening, we ate in another local restaurant where the food cost more and wasn't as exceptional (it was good, but nowhere near as good as this meal). I genuinely feel we did not pay enough for the quality of the food we had, and told Gary as such! We absolutely loved it, and have booked to go back the next night! If I know anyone's coming to Belfast, and I will be insisting they pay Catch a visit!

Really lovely staff, great service and incredible food. Very happy to have found this gem, will be coming back.

Food good. Very little atmosphere.

Waited too long to be served,1 hr hunger wore off had no coffee or tea...food mediocre for the price Will not visit again

Nice and friendly, we had an misunderstanding but the staff was very helpful. We were there to get a grease fish and chips in paper but ended up with only drinking beer.

Beautiful food and fantastic service. Portions are very generous.

Beautiful place. I had scampi and spicy margarita. It was so delicious, cocktail was first class.

A very enjoyable gluten free battered fish & chips. Yummy!! 😋

Went here on Friday night with a booking. Staff member at the door was really lovely and polite despite being under pressure of training new staff on a busy evening. Unfortunately service only went downhill from here when we were seated. Immediately asked if we wanted to place an order within a minute of being gave our menus. Asked for a few minutes so the waiter went to get our drinks. Service started really good besides this, atmosphere was lovely within the restaurant. Mussels starter was gorgeous and a very big portion. Korean bbq chicken wings however were incredibly disappointing. Definitely not Korean bbq, but a very good normal bbq. Mains took a while after starters which we didn't mind waiting on. Linguine was incredibly good and the in house sourdough was the star of the show. The battered fish and chips however was bog standard. The batter had no seasoning and could have used a few minutes longer to really get that nice golden brown on the outside. Salt and vinegar on the table really saved the lack of seasoning in the batter. During this time, no waiter checked on us to see how our food was or if we needed any more drinks which was rather disappointing. We also did not feel as thought we had booked incredibly late (8.15pm but arrived and got seated early at 8pm) however the wait staff clearly did not want to do anything but rush tables out. Ordered dessert which was honestly the best part of the night, sticky toffee pudding was huge and the orange mousse was incredible. However, again, waited a long time for our table to be cleared then our waiter disappeared and sat with a table of what seemed to be staff not on shift? And had a chat. The only thing that prompted our waiter to bring our bill was when I stood up and put my coat on after waiting 15 minutes. Honestly, the atmosphere is good (when they remember to put the playlist back on and not leave the restaurant awkwardly in silence), besides the initial greeting at the start the service is quite poor and food is good but very pricey for the quality.

Catch is my favourite restaurant in Belfast. Their seafood is to die for, the staff are so welcoming and nice and the atmosphere is great. I've been here many times and it's always a fantastic meal

Family dinner for 3 . Booked in advance. Had the cauliflower wings 10/10 spicy and well presented Crispy squid - 6 /10 - a bit bland but OK. Fish tacos - 9/10 - was expecting a bit of salsa , came with purple coleslaw which was very good , but was expecting salsa . Seafood linguine- 9/10 - huge portion with plenty of fish , good sauce , needed salt Chips were 10/0 Side salad - 8/10 , v3ry fresh but needs a dressing . Welcome / Staff very attentive , polite . 10/10 Good choice of spirits , an ipa or 2 would be a good addition for beer choice Will go back

Delicious food and great service

I have literally just left here. and I'm absolutely gob smacked and shocked at the price I was just charged. so the lunch time special was £6.... plus I wanted some cheese and curry sauce on top. I asked how much was a curry cheese chip. I was told £4.50. now that's including the curry and cheese because that's what I asked. so that amounts to £10.50. you'd think that to add a bit of cheese and curry sauce on top would prob be £2 tops. if even. £15.20 I was charged. that's day light robbery like. nearly £20 for a few frozen chips. 2 battered sausages. that tbh. isn't even nice. I'm gob smacked.

Great seafood restaurant fancy ambience without breaking the bank
