The biggest draw of this place is its location and its cheap beer, for sure. Their fries are also absolutely amazing; the seasoning appears to be a unique blend of salt, sugar and rosemary that is super tasty.For my entree I got the Nashville chicken sandwich. While it tasted pretty good, unfortunately the breading was super tough on the edges, and the chicken there was pretty dry. Felt like it had been on a warmer for a bit which was not great but at least it did taste pretty good! We also got the poutine which was a nice appetizer. Very tasty.

I am sitting here at this restaurant as I write this. We have been here for over an hour. No food. Had to ask the bartender for our drinks which had been ordered over 30 minutes prior. It’s not busy here. I have no idea what’s going on, but it’s not good. Haven’t received the food, so I can’t speak to the quality. But if you want to wait for over an hour for your food on a day when the restaurant is 25% full, this is your place. Edit: After a 1 hour and 40 minute wait we were informed it would be at least another 15 minute wait for the “fresh salad” that had been ordered. No thanks.

Food was amazing for a bar menu. Service was decent but they could have scheduled more help for planned group. Facility was freezing and got colder as we set.

I've always enjoyed HopCat for its convenience and just the variety of beers on tap. Solid food, good drinks, not outstanding but is a great spot to just hang out and have a good time with friends. Nashville Hot Wings 8.2/10 - Little underwhelming on the “Nashville Hot” flavor, but wings were cooked fantastic. Flats over drumsticks, always. Would definitely try some of the other flavors. Go to appetizer with this one. Classic Chicken Caesar 6.8/10 - Admittedly, I'm a Caesar Salad fanatic. Dave Portnoy does pizza, I do Caesar Salads. With that said, can't expect a ton from a salad at a brew pub. Lettuce was fine, pretty lightly dressed (almost dry), and chicken was to be expected. Bonus points for the shaved parmesan they use to top, but take those away for the generic croutons thrown in it. Filled me up, but wasn't really expecting much with it. Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich 7.1/10 - Should have known better doubling up on flavors like I did, but I had too much faith in it. Chicken was pretty heavily breaded, and didn't quite have the thickness I'd like in a chicken sandwich. Biggest miss here I think is the contrast texture/flavor that any good Nashville Hot needs! Where is the coleslaw?! As much hate as it gets, a nice cooler from the heat along with a texture change is a must. Still though, good choice overall. Hangover Burger 7.7/10 - Solid choice for a burger, all the breakfast fixes on it (hash brown, over easy egg). Pretzel buns are delicious but for me sometimes are a little heavy. Only finished about half of it, but without trying some of the other items would have easily smashed it. Can't miss with that one. Hope you all appreciate my review!
The food was absolutely delicious!! The music was so enjoyable & the staff was so helpful & accommodating. We were early for our reservation, but the already had our table ready & seated us.

We went here for lunch over the weekend and were incredibly pleased with our food and beer! The service however was pretty slow especially considering there were only 2 other tables with customers at the time. We’ll be back, but hopefully the service is faster next time!
