Grand Catch Saint Paul

From the moment I arrived, I was impressed. The exterior of the restaurant looked inviting, and the interior was even better. It had a slightly dim ambiance that added to the atmosphere, and the moderate noise level combined with upbeat music created a lively vibe. The service struck the perfect balance between professional and welcoming. The hostess was excellent, and our server was fantastic. One of the owners, Saed Wadi, even came over to greet us. It quickly became clear that he has a natural talent for connecting with people; he treated us like we were guests in his own home. Despite the restaurant being busy, the staff managed everything with such confidence and skill that we felt like we were the only diners there, even during their opening week. Initially, I was uncertain about the food, but that doubt disappeared after I took a bite of everything we ordered. I was left feeling conflicted because I wanted to savor each dish all at once, they were all that delicious! The chicken wings were incredible, especially with their special sauce. The mussels and shrimp were top-notch as well; the sauce made all the difference. The portion sizes were generous, and I’m glad I arrived hungry because we polished off everything. Surprisingly, we didn’t leave feeling overly stuffed—perhaps it was due to the absence of rice or pasta that made it so enjoyable. I even found myself wanting to return the very next day. And don’t overlook their toast; it was unlike any toast I’ve had before. Thank you, Grand Catch, for a delightful evening. I look forward to visiting again and again!

For starters, we adored the fried shrimp, which had a light yet flavorful batter and a surprisingly tasty dipping sauce with a fun kick. Our group of three adults went for 3 pounds of shrimp cooked in the medium awesome sauce with medium heat, and honestly, we could have bathed in it after dinner! It was that amazing. Even the corn was coated in a deliciously gooey, garlicky goodness. I never thought I would find myself commenting on the tenderness of the boiled potatoes, but wow! We were thrilled, surprised, and completely impressed with everything we tried. We’re definitely coming back to explore more of the menu! Grand Catch is a perfect addition to the Mac Groveland neighborhood, bringing the excitement and seafood that the Twin Cities truly needs!

The food was fantastic! We had a crab boil with a wonderful sauce, fried shrimp, and Cajun fries. Everything was packed with flavor, and the drinks were some of the best I've ever tasted! I highly recommend trying "Don’t Pet the Dog?" and "Naked Horseback Ride." The Milk Jam and raspberry lychee twist soft serve made for an incredible conclusion to our meal. The service was excellent, always attentive to our needs. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone and can’t wait to return soon!

Holy moly this place is good! I got their Seafood Boil with clams and medium-level Awesome Sauce. And once again, ho-ly mo-ly! That Awesome Sauce lives up to its name! It is seriously delicious! I wished I had toast to mop up the extra sauce at the end, because lifting my bowl and drinking it like the milk leftover after a bowl a cereal would probably have been frowned upon. I seriously consider forgoing all proper decorum and drinking that garlicky, spicy goodness. It was sooooo incredible. I did scoop up little bits of sauce in empty clam shells. That seemed more acceptable and less “uncouth”. I loved everything about this place. The atmosphere, the decor, the food, the drinks (I had the “Crazy Legs” , and the staff was friendly and patient while we all had the hardest time picking because everything sounded SO GOOD! If you get a chance to go to Grand Catch, you should. It’s all around A+!

Finally the twin cities has southern style seafood boils actually worth writing about. Great flavors and prices with actual hot spices, none of that Midwest “spicy”. Crawfish in awesome sauce, enough said.
