Each steak is aged for a minimum of 28 days for a perfectly tender, juicy bite every time.It is our goal to give you a great meal every time you join us for lunch or dinner.

    Wonderful experience. The food was amazing. The bowl of tortilla soup was probably the best I’ve had, enchiladas, elote, everything was very tasty. They have a beautiful room on the ground floor and the upstairs is very nice, along with two patios. Service was friendly and very quick. We will definitely return.

    Catch Dallas is an absolute must-do experience in Dallas. The service is exceptional! We were lucky enough to be in Tony’s section, and he handled multiple special requests flawlessly, including removing the Wagyu from the Wagyu fried rice and substituting lobster since we had a couple vegetarians in our group. The Hellfire Roll was easily the standout of the night—hands down our favorite dish. Overall, between the energy of the restaurant, the quality of the food, and the attentiveness of the service, it’s one of those places that delivers on the full experience and not just the menu.
