Drinks were good and decently priced I got the Paloma and then a blackberry basil margarita. Appetizer platter was disappointing though, if we had known it was going to be this small for $17 we would’ve all just got individual entrees. The cheese dip and wings were great though! Food took about 40 min, apparently they had a 20 person party which is why it took awhile which is understandable, but I wish we had known this or been made aware after about 30 min. The espresso martini was good but tbh tasted like cold brew coffee from Starbucks, once he asked for it a little stronger it was good. Overall I would come back but probably ask for menu recommendations regarding the food

We had a chaotic party of 12 for a birthday and billy took such good care of us !!!! He’s an amazing server and was an absolute delight 🙂 It’s rare that restaurants are able to accommodate large parties AND maintain friendly and fun service. Definitely considering having my own bday dinner here! They also were able to split it however we wanted with ease! 10/10. I recommend the marg it’s hard to find a good one ! Fries are top notch

Went to Hop Cat Royal Oak tonight for Valentine’s day and it was amazing! It was our first time there and we really enjoyed everything. Our server Billy was super friendly and helped us figure out the menu. Everything we had was delicious! Truffle fries, Caesar salad, the rodeo burger, mac and cheese, brownie, we had it all! Seriously so good and can’t wait to go back! 10/10 awesome experience!

Very impressed with this restaurant. Our server Brett was fantastic, very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, friendly, and our drinks were never empty. The menu was much more diverse than I expected, highly recommend the Elote Queso app. I had a quesadilla and it was great. The prices are very reasonable for the portion size and area.

Jack the manager embraced us at the door and made sure we got the corner booth that we have been dying to sit in! Billy was a great server and the food was nothing short of amazing. Dazzling deals featuring the pick 3 build your own for $15. Billy made sure to make sure we understood the build your own deal and also that our food was made fresh to order. If your in royal oak and want a great burger or good beer come to HopCat and ask for a guy named Billy!

Very attentive waitstaff, even when busy. Fun, unique bar food. Loved the nachos! The lobster mac and cheese had a surprisingly large amount of lobster in it.

Billy was truly a delight. Im what you would call a hopcat connoisseur. Billy was THE FIRST EVER to offer me rewards after MANYYY hopcat trips. He elevated my dining experience with witty banter and free food through rewards redefining the meaning of customer service. Side note after eating lots of madtown grilled cheeses the Royal Oak location does it THEEEE BEST! Billy was awesome and kitchen cooked !

A good Hop Cat located in downtown Royal Oak.
We came in on a Friday evening around 6pm, it was very quiet which was nice.
This place is HUGE, it’s about 3 times the size of your typical taphouse. Tons of seating. They had it decorated for the holidays which was nice but far too many high hop tables.
Our server was polite and helpful with the menu but not super attentive, it took a really long time to get our beers. This could have been the bar but there were 4 employees at the bar and no customers so I’m not sure. We definitely would have drank more if we felt the beer would have come out faster.
Our food came out fast which was nice. We each had a flight and split an order of cosmic fries.
The beers were all phenomenal, they really do get a great variety of types and flavors from a lot of breweries. The fries were also awesome.
Overall it was a good time and I can see coming back for sure. Maybe next time we’ll sit at the bar for faster beer service.
Recommended.

Omg. First off my friend and I set out to eat seafood but for whatever reason our option A,B,C,D didn’t fall through and we ended up here because they’re open so late… Billy is hilarious!! I love that guy and Luke was equally amazing and very hospitable. The conversation was great I wish they could’ve joined us but sadly they were working! This was our first date in years and you guys have helped make this one to remember. The food was immaculate and the drinks were very impressive. Idk about the price because I didn’t pay but whatever it was it was worth it. I just remembered WE FORGOT to tip you guys !!!!! I will be back!!!
