What locals are saying
Catch 23 is a newer, polarizing addition to Folly Beach's Center Street — its rooftop setting and sushi-meets-seafood boil menu draw post-beach crowds and active social media tagging, but TripAdvisor places it near the bottom of Folly's restaurant rankings (#29 of 31, 3.2/5), reflecting a pattern of uneven execution. Yelp reviewers split sharply: fans highlight a well-executed seafood boil and breezy coastal ambience, while critics describe disappointing fish entrees, overcrowded tables, and slow peak-hour service. The Saturday-night DJ rooftop events (#RooftopNights) consistently generate the strongest positive buzz, suggesting the venue earns more loyalty as a scene destination than a food-first dining room.
On socials
Catch 23 has a modest but growing social footprint — TikTok clips tag it as a post-beach seafood stop with sushi rolls and coastal vibes, while Saturday night live DJ events (branded #RooftopNights) generate the most recurring social content. Its Instagram (@catch23fb) is active but small (~1.7K followers, 48 posts), with no viral breakout moment yet.
