My second time here and I must say wow. I'm blown away. The staff, the atmosphere the food out of this world. You know it's a hit when you come from out of state. Amazing 👏 wonderful I don't care what anyone says ❤️. I feel at home. Thank You Fat Cat Grill & Bar ya'll are awesome ☺️
Fat cat grill & bar is one of my family’s favorite.Love cat-themed décor and friendly staff . Their pizza , cheesy garlic bread , buffalo chicken wings , Chicken tenders,hot kitty fries and fat cat nachos are amazing. We love going back there again and again.
Really enjoyed my meal. Everything was freshly prepared, great portions and reasonably priced. Our waitress Sarah was attentive and friendly. Excited to go back when I'm visiting the area again.
Very impressed and surprised. This place was so busy tonight, a Friday. The chicken Oscar, which is chicken and lobster with broccoli and mozarella in a lemon butter sauce,was fantastic. Drinks were delicious. The garlic bread with alfredo and blue cheese was to die for. Sweet potato fries, although admittedly frozen by the waitress, were so good. I was really surprised with the quality of the food. My husband, with years as a chef, noted that although the kitchen was very quiet, it's a good thing. It means the cooks are focused and good at what they do. The kitchen is open and you can see them cooking. Food was flying out like crazy but the back was so calm. Nice experience. The only thing amiss was they forgot my salad which was a $3.00 upcharge. When I mentioned this upon paying my bill, they comped my salad but still gave me one to go with our leftovers. Very generous portion, could only finish half my plate. We are very happy!
Clean! Good food! Attentive competent setvice! I had the cod sandwich, fresh, hot, tasty ans sweet potato fries -- not too greasy and cooked well for flavor.
I must say this is my first time coming to this Spot. The name was very catchy. I’ll tell u something they know how to keep a fat cat fat! The food 10/10 thank you Chef Carlos & Chris! Outstanding quality of food generous portions definitely taking home a doggie bag. I had the “Lobster heaven” great flavors bun was delicious! Chicken Parm was on Point. The “crispy chicken salad” was fresh. The “Fried Shrimp” cooked to perfection nice n golden. The waitress were super friendly and very attentive granted it is early afternoon so we had most of the attention but i know great quality service when i see it. Thank you Sarah & Crystal! And not to mention the infinite refills A++ 🥰
I took my wife out to eat yesterday and could not have chosen a better place. Great food, great service, and atmosphere. The owners Lindsay and Panye checked on us several times. I will definitely eat there again.
Great food, great service , amazing people. I got calamari, onion rings, loaded fries and calzone along with a couple of drink and I could not have been more satisfied when finished. 10 out of 10 recommend.
Don't judge a book by its cover! This place looks like a strip mall greasy spoon, but it is truly a very reasonably priced, grate food, with quick service!
Nachos are the best around! Been here a few other times. And always had a great meal.
