On the coast, it’s the simple things that mean the most – A happy hour that lasts hours, lingering sunsets and fresh, casual seafood, shared with good friends. That was the inspiration the friends and partners had who started The Big Ketch in Buckhead.

In October 2010, the restaurant opened, bringing the soul of the Southern Coast to the Heart of Atlanta. A place where guests could get coastal inspired fare including chef’s signature dishes like a classic hot buttered Lobster Roll, Basil Blue Moon Mussels or a simply prepared fresh fish of the day. A place to unwind and enjoy live music on the patio while enjoying a dish they can’t get anywhere else, with a cocktail hand-crafted just for them.

Named as one of Atlanta’s hottest restaurants (Jezebel 2015) and fueled by the success of the Buckhead location, it seemed time to bring the restaurant to the suburbs of Roswell, where residents were clamoring for fresh, flavorful seafood and a local beach house vibe. Opening in October 2015, The Big Ketch Roswell has quickly become a destination for everyone to escape to.
