Catch 21

Referred here by a friend and co-​worker, decided to try out Catch 21 on a whim while in the area. Without a doubt, they know their fried seafood game pretty well. I had the pleasure of trying out their shrimp and fish platter with fries and cole slaw. I was pleased that the fried items didn’t feel or taste greasy, and the seafood itself was pretty good overall. The sides were fairly standard and really didn’t wow or disappoint me. Next time I am in the area, I think I’ll try one of their salads. I’ve heard that they’re darn good, and well put together for you.
One thing to say though is that the service that we received was very friendly and pleasurable. It’s always nice to see personal service at quick service food establishments nowadays, as it seem to be a forgotten characteristic in the hustle and bustle of the «get your food and get out» mantra that seems to be overwhelming the industry.

Great service and great food! Como trio is my favorite chicken, Rib, shrimp side order of fries and rice under $ 11. Always fresh

Man, really good. So I read all the reviews and I have to say I am very happy with this place… healthy, good quality food… great customer service. I had a grilled Salmon salad, and I have to say tasted really good… not overly salty or spicy, just right.
the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because i wish they had more to offer at their salad bar, such as fresh kale, spinach, avocado (next time will ask for it), etc… but other than for 10 bucks fresh food cant beat that. If you are skeptical I tell you try it you will not be disappointed… definitely better than than fast food.

You have got to try their California Chicken Wrap with avocado, TO DIE FOR, TO DIE FOR!

Love love love this place! Healthy and delicious. What more can one ask for! Maybe quick and reasonably priced. Well they are that as well! Try it!

My new favorite restaurant in the area. Nice portions for the price, speedy service, clean, and friendly owners. My favorite: cajun sea bass over rice.

I cannot believe Catch 21 has been on Newhall Ranch Rd for 10 years and we missed it! We found it after trying another quick fish place (with Hawaiian theme) and disliking it so much we went on a drive looking for another place to eat! As we headed toward home, I realized we had never looked at the businesses down in the dip off of Newhall Ranch Rd. We were suprised at our findings down there!
Catch 21 has completely FRESH food! I am very impressed with their salads in which you choose your own additions, their homemade dressings, and the fresh vegtables steamed with a bit of lemon juice! My family dislikes frozen veggies and lately we find them even at fine dining, yuck! Not at Catch 21, they use fresh everything, it’s beautiful! The fish is beautifully and quickly grilled and you have two choices of seasoning. My daughter loves the chicken skewers and my British hubby loves their fish and chips! Their menu covers a taste for everyone and no Styrofoam or plasticware here.
The owners are a married couple and you’ll find either one there, happily taking your order, making a joke and quickly making sure your order is being filled correctly with the staff. The prices are amazing for the quality food you receive!
Warm, courteous service, great prices, fresh food, quick to your table, this is a big hitter in my family for a weeknight fast dinner. It takes no longer than a stop at fast food/​junk food joint and is nutritionally and flavorfully sound!
Wish I had found it years ago!

Nice little spot to grab a quick lunch. The staff is incredibly friendly — the kind of friendly that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s only the second time you’ve ever been there. The food is pretty good and the ingredients seem pretty fresh. It exceeds your expectations.
Parking can be a little bit of a bear during peak hours. Fortunately service is fast so you can get in and out during your lunch break without issue.

Had the Cajun fish tacos. The fish was made to perfection. Great flavor and perfectly grilled. Everything was very fresh

Old, repeatedly frozen, fishy, rancid tasting thin wafers of fish shaped disgust… and they call it mahi mahi. I left it on the plate. It comes with 2 sides. I opted for a caesar salad and a baked potato. The caesar came with a dusty coating of grated parmesan out of a jar and a lackluster dressing also from a jar. The potato was at least baked. One star for the potato! Skip this place. Trust me on this one.

I got the California chicken wrap it was light but very filling! The wraps come with a side of your choice for 7.50, definitely a bargain. Perfect place to go if you’re hungry but don’t want anything to heavy. I made 2 modifications to my wrap and they accommodated me without a problem. They have Very friendly staff, their service is great!

There isn’t many restaurants I would give 5 stars to, but this restaurant is one of them. Along with the big selection, everything I’ve tried here is great. The couple that runs this restaurant are really sweet & generous people on top of that.

I should have written this review a long time ago, but wanted to finally give my 5 star review of Catch 21. I came to Catch 21 three months ago to catch a quick bite with my wife and kids. Very casual eating but all that matters is that the food tastes good.
The cashier was super friendly and took our order right away. The food came out fast and hot and was super delicious. This is definitely how you run a business. I have no complaints with my experience and will definitely be back.
The prices are really reasonable as well and won’t break the bank. Highly recommend for a quick bite!!!

I’m addicted to this place. They’re so nice and I get they’re Chinese wrap with freshly cooked fries like once a week.

For what it is – a fast food place:
Service: Better than at many full-​service restaurants. Professional, helpful, gracious: 5 stars
Food: Grilled mahi mahi was prepared as I had requested. Yes, it is frozen fish grilled, but a complete meal for under $ 10: come on, have reasonable expectations everyone. My mahi was mild flavored and well prepared and did not have a ‘fishy’ taste to it.
The steamed veggies were cooked in a a mild chicken stock, so request otherwise if you don’t want that salt or base. There were notes about preparing food without salt and the kind of oil used for the fries. They had salt readily available so you could put as much as you’d like. Remember, you can’t take it off once it is on.
(If I had paid $ 30 for fresh fish I would have been disappointed as it is not fresh, but frozen. It is what it states that it is.
They are open to preparing the food — which is cooked after you order it – however you like.
Salad bar that allows the customer to select what s/​he wants with many fresh options. Excellent as was the salad dressing.
Cleanliness: I arrived as they were opening. The place was spotless.
BONUS: Family owned. 6 stars!

Firstly, the woman at the register (who I am assuming is the owner) is am absolute treat! She was so nice and welcoming to us and our baby boy (who loved her as well) and it definitely made the experience more enjoyable.
I ordered the Cajun Sea Bass and my husband ordered the Shrimp, Ribs and Chicken plate. The Bass was delicious! It had a great flavor to it and I wouldn’t mind having it again. The chicken was tender and juicy and the shrimp was to die for. I’m not a fan of ribs so that goes without saying but my husband said they were good. The fries are great and so is the rice pilaf.
We will definitely be back again!

Excellent food at a fair price. Nicest family owns the place. Quality is top notch and they are grateful for your biz, not fake nice like some joints.

Not bad! The setup probably isn’t the best because it gives off the impression of a fast food place when the quality is actually better than that. I got the fish and chips which were actually pretty good! You get to choose your sides. The fries were well done. The steamed veggies were OK. In terms of prices, it’s not super cheap, but it’s not bad either. Service is fast. If you’re doing take take-​out, it’s ideal because the food comes out in 5 minutes at the most. They do have about a dozen small tables.

Couldn’t find a table that wasn’t sticky and the air-​conditioning was horrible.
I should have taken it as a sign when out of the 3 gps apps we used, none could actually take us there. If your having the same luck and sitting in the Home Depot parking lot, make another choice.
I had the spicy Thai halibut with rice and slaw. The slaw was good, «spicy Thai»? If that means teriyaki then they were spot on lol… but the kabobs that came were not what I expected and not vary tasty.
The build your own salad bar is a neat idea but …

Unilocal… why have you led me astray?
Granted, the selection in this area isn’t great, but I expected a passable meal when I got here, at least. After eyeballing the reviews, I decided to go with the supposed safe bet and crowd favorite: Charbroiled Cajun Sea Bass ($ 8.95, with two sides).
The service is great — the guy who took my order was SUPER nice and accommodating to our large party, and our orders came out rather quickly. However, upon taking a bite of my sea bass, I found it to be dry, under seasoned, and overcooked. I looked around at my friends, most of which had ordered the sea bass, and found out they had the same reaction. It wasn’t a fluke, and a lot of them couldn’t finish their plates. I tried my friend’s dish, which was deep fried fish. There was way too much batter in relation to the fish.
Just really disappointing overall. Maybe it was a bad day, but to have all of our orders come out like that made me wonder if it was a common occurrence.
