The food is really great, but I have a shellfish allergy that thankfully isn’t terribly severe, but the staff was sorta sloppy with keeping things separated. They picked up an avocado and there was crab meat on her hand while she was handling the avocado. Other than that, it’s good.
Terrible!!! 2 out of the 6 or 7 workers in the place had a mask on. The rest were too selfish to care. I took a pic as well which i have sent over to the Erie County Department of Health. In addition, the food was overpriced and mediocre at best.
Fantastic Fresh & Creative Menu served with friendly, attentive and caring staff. Definitely recommend
Delicious, fresh food. Menus was varied and creative, we will be back!
If you are lucky, Summer and Erin are behind the bar. The Dawson Knox bowl is *delicious* - make it a regular menu item.
Food was delicious! Being from Hawaii where Poke was invented I was skeptical of the food,however the taste was there. The Mochi icecream brought back memories. I cant wait to go back with friends.
Had a great time at my wifes work party. Would definitely recommend checking it out for the cocktails and experience.
Love fresh Catch, and this location is my favorite. It has a great atmosphere, and the food is always great.
11/10 experience, very friendly staff on the phone and in person. Great cocktails and amazing customer service.
Got served by a super friendly guy and the prices are actually really good. Paid 15$ for my steak teriyaki bowl and it was filled to the brim. Got some nice sake on tap for 10$ and tipped for a total of 30$ for myself. Honestly worth it. Chairs are comfortable and soft, a nice bar inside, food tasted fresh. I tried some salmon too and it was really good.
Great vibe, great staff, and great menu choices both food and drink. I travel all over the US for my job and Im always searching for poké places. I would rate 5 stars but heres where they missed the mark: low protein, a single ice cream scoop of spicey tuna for a large bowl was low ratio- so got charged the extra $3.50 for another scoop. Avacado was firm, not ripe, probably should have known that before cutting and serving, and way too much spicey mayo. Honestly so much that I couldnt find a bite that didnt have an over presence of it. The spicey tuna alone has its own Mayo coating, so the coating on top was quite a bit overkill. I like to be able to taste the greens a little not just the Mayo. Ill know to say light on the Mayo next time, but they should dial it back by default for any customer. Its easy to ask for more, but its difficult to take it off once too much has been added. Overall, I am happy I found Fresh Catch. I signed up for their rewards program and will for sure be returning upon my next visit to Buffalo.
Everything about it!! The food in the build your own bowls,the Shuck Shack menu(oysters and lobster rolls)the Sake and the guys that own it!!
The poke’ bowls, the seafood options, the groovy bar, *the DJ* on Fridays — this is my spot for fun vibes.
Ordered from work and 2/3 of the bowls contained tuna. The tuna seemed to be old (not terrible dated) and had a slight gray pigment to them. Overall, it wasn’t terrible but I will not be ordering from there again.
Happy they have vegan options! Staff was very nice. Had the flaming jewel bowl with spicy ponzu- very tasty.
One of the cleanest full feelings you can get in buffalo! always incredibly fresh and delicious. they forgot avocado on my bowl once, but no hard feelings because it was so good i didn’t even notice until halfway through anyway. it feels good to eat fresh, colorful, delicious food like this.
I love this place so much!! I come here every Saturday. The people are so kind and friendly! They have memorized my order and the food is always fresh and light! I am always surprised on how fresh the avocado is. 10/10!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The food is incredible, the freshest, tastiest, and most satisfying in Buffalo! Feel so lucky to have this gem in the Queen City and City of Good Neighbors. Speaking of good neighbors, Mike, Sebastian and the Fresh Catch Team is the best - their customer service is always on point and always goes the extra mile to make sure they offer the best meal!
Really tasty stuff; I had never had poke before and this place really sold me on it. A very delicious palette of different toppings, and all kind of bases. Im married to jasmine rice for now, but theres something for every taste, and definitely a very nice healthy option.
The food at Fresh Catch is delicious. I love to build my own bowl. I usually get the cauliflower rice as the base, but I wish there was an option for quinoa. The fish is always fresh and the veggies are crisp. I love the Citrus Ginger dressing. Fresh Catch is a great option if you are looking for a quick bite to eat. There is also a bar, and a good selection of sake as well. I enjoy it here whenever I come.
Ive ordered takeout & delivery from Fresh Catch more times than Id like to admit, and every single time they are incredibly helpful and friendly -- from the person on the phone to the delivery driver -- awesome service every time. The food is always fresh and delicious, and they have a unique selection of drinks.
Food....When Im hungry, its the best solution to my painIm looking for a reasonable addition to my normal eateries that I frequent. This Fresh Catch is the second location of the chain with the 1st being by Williamsville South.They have quite healthy options for all types. Spicy tuna, spicy kimchee, spicy mustard...thank you spicy. Thier are over 20 different bases, sauces and proteins to make sure your lunch and dinner is never boring.What also is good is if you are living Keto like I am (trying) this is one of your strongest local options available tooIf youre a selfie IG monarch than the layout and decor of this establishment is literally second to none. This makes sense seeing the Aloft hotel is just a visually stunning locale in the first place.The bar is staffed by friendly bartenders who have a great assortment of drinks to choose.Come by, say hi and grab a bowl. When you do tell them St. James sent you!
The fish is some of the freshest in buffalo, top 3 for sure its flown in daily, all the bowls are well constructed and balanced. The staff is super friendly and will happily guide you through the menu if you feel overwhelmed. Healthy options abound here. You really cant go wrong if looking for a fresh and quick option to dine downtown or catch a quick lunch.The galley lounge is a cool small bar within serving delicious cocktails made with fresh pressed juices and tinctures, a great house tequila, and great sake selection. Draft beer list is small but exceptionally well curated, and they also have a rotating list of canned beer (industrial arts, mikkeller, evil twin, etc). They also have some off beat stuff like kombucha, and cbd infused bevarages for someone looking to switch it up from alcohol.
Youve got to try the bubba poke bowel. Seriously yummy we always stop in before going to Sheas
Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Good for a lunch, they do a fast fresh like a Chipotle, but theres a whole bar side to it, and the music / vibe was fun!
Great place! Super funky! The food was fresh... Sebastian the manager is a rock star! We came from Orlando and passed to get some food. Recommended 💥
The food is fresh and is absolutely amazing! Eating healthy never tasted so good.
I was pleasantly surprised with this Poke place. Most poke places are basically the same but this one was good quality at a good price. Worth going back to if in the mood for poke.
Fresh food, lots of options but limited sushi selection. Nice bar. Fast, friendly service. A little pricey.
Couldn’t think of a bad thing to say about this place even if I tried. Absolutely outstanding. Food amazing and fresh. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Massive bowl of food and tasted amazing.
Needs more lively hood. Workers a little rude...
Their food and staff is always top notch. Food is super consistent in a good way, fresh and delicious
Delicious bowls!!! Love the flying salmon. So fresh and amazing.
Always great poke and then shuck shack on the weekends. A++

Review №1
2022-04-15I have never had a bad experience at Fresh Catch.Consistency: I am a creature of habit. I order the same bowl each time (sometimes with different modifications). It is the same each time, and it’s always delicious, and so fresh.Quality: you can tell that it’s very important to the owner that the produce and the protein choices are high quality, and fresh.Service: possibly the best part! Each time I come here I am greeted right away, and you can tell that they appreciate their customers. The owner is a great guy, and you can tell his staff loves working for him, a rarity in food service these days.The bottom line is, choosing to eat here is never a bad idea. I will continue to come back, and recommend to everybody I know.

2022-05-21I had the Hawaii 5-0. It was good but tuna was small and very limited. For $16+ I would expect more.

2022-05-12Ordered the hot steak bowl. Beef was cooked just right with the most delicious and fresh toppings. Opted for sriracha instead of spicy mayo.I really enjoyed my bowl and can’t wait to try this place in person.Very delicious.

2022-04-15Came for the $1 oyster specials and had a nice happy hour. Several ppl served and helped while I sat at the bar. The oysters were delightful and I ended up getting a poke bowl to go which was delicious. I may become a regular on Fridays!

2021-06-26Great food. I had the Hawaii 5-0 bowl and it was excellent. The chocolate chip cookie was also really good. I really like the ambiance. There is a little bar inside too.

2020-01-17Great addition to downtown. Bowls were tasty and filling. lots of options, some kind of strange (hot cheetos?? Why not?). They have lobster roll (mayo type) too, which I will have to try. Fish scoops are a decent size and theres cooked protein options if youre basic. Oh, and you can buy a whole coconut.I like that its low pressure counter service with comfortable seating and a full bar at the end if you wanna get drinks. People just hanging out cafe style doing their thing. Ill definitely be back!
