Their *new* RISK IT FOR THE BRISKET dish (rigatoni pasta, roasted poblano cream sauce, 6-hour brisket, roasted corn, poblano peppers & onions, topped with cheddar crumbs) is sooooo delicious, it’s definitely a MUST try when you’re there.

Great Food, Friendly and knowledgeable Staff, Loved the Atmosphere and Cheese Fries. A Fabulous selection of Michigan Made Micro Brews.

Ordered the double smash burger, nice options for your burger, plenty of cheeses to pick from. The fries were also very good, the fries came with a side of cheese. Enjoy the environment here, friendly service. Prices are on the cheaper side compared to other restaurants in the area, and the quality of food is great. Would recommend coming here.

A Good trading platform service I can truly trust. They are transparent on all transactions and explain everything clearly. I never had fear and i am confident in trading with them. They have given me so many great opportunities to earn better profits. I am glad to have traded with the right broker. I gain good profit and received my withdrawals earlier than expected date. Good brokerage platform. I'm happy to work with Mr Ethan Payne, this probably was the best choice of my life. Contact him via Email: [email protected] WhatsApp:+1 (256) 215-1536

It was a quiet evening and the place was half full. A couple of TVs showing the NBA playoffs.I found the menu had plenty of options for most eaters. I chose a double smash burger with Bleu cheese and a side dish of their cosmik fries. The mall was fresh and tasty. The portion sizes were generous. You'll need plenty of napkins as the burger is a bit messy, not a bad thing.I had their Mayan Mocha Stout which is a dark beer with a nice finish of habanero fire for a unique taste.Good service and friendly staff turned into an enjoyable visit. It was good enough to come back for a second visit during my short stay in Kalamazoo.

No surprise, the fries are amazing! Also had the smoked salmon dip, which was good, but heavy on the paprika. My friend got the grilled cheese, which he liked. Had to try a few different brews before I found one I liked. We were seated right away and service was pretty fast. I found it a little odd that they offer the fries as an appetizer, but then they also come with just about every meal. Ended up with more fries than we could (comfortably) eat.

I have been a HopCat fan for several years, but my experience tonight has ruined that. My boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner and drinks tonight, and our experience was just awful. We were happy to see it was not very busy when we arrived, and figured we'd be seated/served fairly quickly. We ended up waiting almost 10 minutes before even being seated. Upon being seated, we waited another 10+ minutes before a server acknowledged our table. I actually went up to the bar to ask if there was a server for our section. Our beers came out fairly timely, but that's where it ended. Our server, Ana, was busy doing anything but taking care of patrons. We ordered some fries (not the loaded ones)for an appetizer, and waited over 20 minutes just for them to arrive lukewarm and overcooked. Over 20 minutes for fries is insane! We put in orders for our entrees ( a burger w/onion rings and some tacos)and waited another 30 minutes or so before finally managing to get Ana's attention to ask her if we can just get the order boxed to-go. At this point our plans for a fun dinner out have been completely ruined. Upon finally receiving our food, I open the bag to check the orders. My boyfriend's medium burger was so over cooked, that the outside was black and crispy. He asked for onion rings instead of fries, and still received the fries. We let Ana know, and she said she forgot about them and would go grab them. Well, they were way over cooked as well. He tried eating them, but they were just too overcooked. My tacos were average. I asked for the burger to be taken off of the bill because it was burnt to the point of being inedible. We didn't want to try to have the food remade, as we didn't have time for anymore disappointments. After all of the inconvenience, all Ana had to say was, "Thank you for your patience." Wow!! The complete disregard and total lack of awareness was astounding. Ana's horrible service and the extremely overcooked food have ensured we will not be returning. Such a huge disappointment for us!

It’s really hard to find restaurants nowadays that have a cool vibe AND good food. Not only was the restaurant itself decked out in awesome paintings of famous music artists, the music being played was enjoyable. Very modern but also very old-fashioned. On top of all that the whole staff were dressed to their comfort, all with their own unique styles. It was truly a lovely experience.

We have visited Kalamazoo several times, but we always return to Hopcat. Old building that is repurposed with brick and wood and old railroad items. Lots of beers to try. If you are uncertain then order a flight and pick out your favorite. Waitress was friendly and never let us sit alone for very long. Food is good, service never too slow. I had grilled cheese sandwich that was wonderful. But red pepper soup is incredible! Try it and see if you agree. In summer you can sit on the patio in the shade if it’s hot out. Try the other breweries first but you will return to Hopcat just like us.

Great food, great service. They have a variety of food options. Although they have more of a bar food type of menu, they do have pretty decent and healthy options. I like their chicken tacos. Has great flavor and not too heavy. I’ve heard friends say good things about the Mac n cheese and burgers. Loveeeee the cosmic fries. The seasoning is bomb. The drinks are good as well. Fun atmosphere and waiters are always nice
