Had a great time here before seeing a show at the Aragon Ballroom! Even lucked out with some free donuts from scanning the QR code for the menu. My husband and I loved each of our meals, and he especially loved the Hi Hat drink. A little loud but added to the experience in my opinion. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly as well!

Can’t wait to go again! What a wonderful experience! My husband and I stopped in early for a bit to eat and a couple drinks before a show nearby. The staff was very attentive, but not over bearing. Everyone we spoke with were super courteous. We got the poutine as an app, best we’ve ever had! The chicken sandwich and brown rice bow were our entrees, and they were both so freaking good! The drinks were just perfect too. Sad we couldn’t stay longer and live so far away. We would definitely frequent all the time! Would recommend to anyone wanting a chill experience, fire drinks, and food you can’t stop eating.

Great for big group! The vibes and booths make a great environment for several friends to hang out on a weekend night. Great seasonal cocktails and good bar food.

How have I never reviewed Fat Cat. This is my regular stomping grounds for a reason. The food is outstanding. The beer selection is top notch. The atmosphere and the staff are all absolutely wonderful. This is THE place in Uptown. Just stop in and you'll see what I mean!

I normally love this place, even when they make mistakes, but today I am seething. Lately my orders have been wrong when I pick them up. Today I called at 2:46 to place my order place my order with Rachel. One minute later I called back and double check my order will be correct with Rachel. A specific sandwich, with home fries and jam on the side (the owner's husband makes really great Jam). Great she said it will be ready in 10 minutes and confirmed my order. I walked to pay/pick-up my order was rushed out because of my dogs (understandable). Got halfway home and realized my order was wrong, again. I call to tell that my order was wrong. Asked to speak to Rachel. I was put on hold for about 2 minutes then told Rachel had gone for the day, finished her shift. At this point, I'm upset. I'm standing in almost 80° weather on hold with the wrong food! Another young lady, Ruby, came to the phone. I told her what happened, SHE SAID "If your order is always wrong, why do you keep coming back?" I replied "I love Sy & I love the food!" but I think that's really an appropriate that you asked me that." She kept saying that I was angry with her. (My voice was not raised there are no insults or curses exchanged) I said "I don't even know you; you didn't take my order. I have no reason to be angry with you I'm angry at the situation." 5 minutes into the conversation she Finally asked me what she would like for me to do. She never offered a refund or a solution. I said 'please remake my order'. Right now it is 3:37 I still have no food. I am waiting outside of the restaurant after I originally placed my order at 2:46 p.m. for something that was supposed to take 10 minutes. Update: I finally got my food, although my appetite is lost. I don't even feel comfortable eating the sandwich because sometimes people do things to food when ppl complain. No home fries but I did get some fresh but soggy/wet French fries that i will not be eating. Not the home fries. And no jam on the side. The owner is fantastic this is not the normal service. I'm disappointed that I even dignified Ruby's sarcastic question with a response.
