First thing first, the fries are AMAZING. I couldn’t tell which was better the fries or fries with the beer cheese. I could have gotten a bucket of fries and been happy. The Cowboy DBL Smash Burger was great too. Cooked perfectly where it’s not burnt nor still mooing. Would highly recommend to anyone. Great food at a great price.

Super dog friendly! Family and I took our pitt and they seated us in the patio providing our dog with a bowl of water. Food was really tasty and service was fast. Our waiter was extremely helpful and attentive.

We just had a fantastic dinner at HopCat. Maureen was our server and let me tell you, she is on TOP of her game! Always made sure we had everything we needed, made sure we liked our drinks and food and even, without asking, brought my husband a soda to go! If there is an Employee of the Year for HopCat, she should receive it! Excellent service! Beyond expectations! Way to go Maureen! Thank you for top notch service! Whatever they are paying you is not enough! ❤️

Always great service and great food!

Service was one step above awful. All the fried food was rubbery. It either wasn't fried long enough or sat under a heat lamp too long. Peanut butter pie was served with soup spoons, couldn't get them through the crust without the pie flying off the plate. Couldn't get refills, waiter made it obvious he wanted us out of our booth asap. He wanted our food order when he came to take our drink order, without a menu. Brought check before we could order dessert. It just wasn't a great experience.

Our server Thomas was absolutely amazing and beyond helpful with suggesting which beer to try. He wasn’t hovering over us all the time which was so nice, as some servers tend to do. He was genuinely so nice and next time we go we will be asking for him. The food was great and we got in super fast (it seemed super busy with it being a Friday evening). It was a great anniversary dinner and we will be back soon.

Let me just say that my wife and I have given quite a bit of business to this location over the last 3 years. With COVID we got a lot of take out and had great experiences during that time. Today (Sunday), we went around 5pm to dine in (which we’ve only done once before since being together). We were seated promptly upon arrival.I first noticed we were seated at a table that was not clean at all. There were some crumbs and i put my elbow in a large sticky area that must’ve been missed. Under the table was also a lot of food and residue from the previous group. It then took about 15 minutes for us to actually get a waiter, and this was only because my wife flagged someone down to ask if we could have a waiter. The gentleman apologized which was cool, but it was just very frustrating because it was not very busy inside at all and there were about 5 waiters just sort of standing around. There were also 3 people standing at the host stand, so I would think at least one person would see we had no drinks or no one came to us. Or maybe noticed us just looking around in hopes we could get service. It appeared other tables got serviced well but we couldn’t seem to get a look. I would’ve thought the waitress would’ve apologized too, but she did not.While the food was good, the lack of attentiveness, given how well/overstaffed they were, is enough to make me second guess dining in again. There are many other restaurants who would’ve done it better.

First timers here for green beer on St. Patricks Day. It was very busy but the service was pretty amazing! Our server, and Im super upset I dont remember her name to mention her, was on top of her game! Our drinks never went dry, she had refills before we need to ask. One meal had to be sent back, but she had it fixed in no time!The Food was really good too. They definately has something for everyone.The only thing I would have them change is the volume of the music! It was PRETTY loud, which made everyone talking to each other talk louder so others could heat them, which made it even louder.Other then that, Great place, good food and AWESOME service. Cant wait to swing by again! ??

I came here spontaneously on a Wednesday afternoon with my mom and we both really enjoyed the shareables! We ordered the elote queso and smoked salmon dip as a start. Then for our main meals, I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries and my mom ordered the fish & chips. We definitely recommend the shareables we got because they are very yummy and are easy to feast on, plus the smoked salmon dip comes with more bread if you want more. I didn’t eat much of my sandwich and mostly ate the fries lol, but I think the sandwich is decent and the fries are pretty good! My mom really liked the fish & chips! I also got myself the strawberry basil mule drink and I would recommend that, it’s very yummy :))Overall, nice experience and friendly staff! Would recommend dining here if you ever have the chance.

Food was served hot & it was delicious. Service was a bit slower than normal for lunch. But over all good.
