August 29, 2025AmySioux2This is a Brookings (Harbor) icon -- a must try at least once!
Catalyst is the go-to place for seafood lovers. Multiple occasions here (mostly lunch) have been consistent. This place is ALWAYS busy, so prepare for a wait, especially on weekends and in season. Even so, the staff is efficient and the food is always good. Their fish and chips are great (according to my husband) and their portions are generous. This last time I had the fish tacos, which were very delicious, but fell apart in the soggy soft corn taco shells pretty quickly, but no worries: grab your fork! Not a seafood fan? No worries, the diverse menu has something for most everyone.

I’ve been here twice and both times I have left wanting. Ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and the chicken was dry and bacon way overdone. French fries were good and the clam chowder was yummy though. They have a fun alcoholic drinks which the table enjoyed.

Boring Fish Tacos
Split the fish tacos. Completely flavorless. The only saving caveat was the fish wasn't deep fried. Restaurant felt kind of dirty to me.

the food was good but complaint is the salad they want you to pay 3.00 dollars more for like 3 bites of a tiny salad, not worth it, then we got a side salad and it was 6 for the same tiny salad I upgraded to for 3, french-fries are way more then a salad does and for what you are getting it should be like a dollar difference, not 3,00 dollars,

Decent +
Loved the clams and sausage dinner, perfectly prepared, spicy with healthy amounts of garlic (if that's what you like). Service was good and atmosphere welcoming.
