So my partner and I just walked in because we read it was a 40's decorated bar, and it was on our way to a show at the Riviera. The food was great, the atmosphere perfectly casual, and the service...my God, the service. We want to give a shout out to our server, Walter, who was the most delightful being we have ever experienced. He was prompt, energetic, and fun. I don't think I've ever had a server who was so excited to do their job, and for that, we thank you, Walter. You and your magnificent anime protagonist hair.

The menu is insanely good, they have EVERYTHING! I had the pot pie and it was scrumptious. The drinks are really great too. The restaurant is nice and spacious. The music was on point too! You definitely want to try this place ???

We very much enjoyed the service drinks and food. Apps we tried were Brussels sprouts broccoli (basic but garlicky good), fries. Entrees hamburgers and crispy chicken. All were very good. Apps were not hot and that was the only complaint t. Drinks were fun and we all liked our choices except pear vodka drink was too sweet.Parking: 5:30 we found a spot close.

Food was really good. Loved the poutine was my favorite thing here. The lobster Mac and cheese had big pieces of lobster. And the cinnamon doughnuts drizzled with chocolate were nice and warm when then got to the table. Sangria was also very good.

Me and two other people got food poisoning from the Reubens Balls. When we called after suffering from horrible vomiting for two days, their response word for word was "Okay cool, have a good day!"
We decided to stop by the Fat Cat on a whim for brunch and had a great experience! Our server, Allie, was absolutely amazing. She was attentive and offered suggestions based on our dietary restrictions. Food was delicious— definitely get the fried pickle chips and nitro cold brew!

We live right behind Fat Cat on Magnolia and have been coming here since 2018 when we moved to the area. We have brought friends and family here all the way from both Maine and Michigan here. It has always been a pleasant local restaurant go to for us. Between the food and staff, you cannot beat this stop and dine in restaurant.
