Erica was amazing, she gave us great advice on food selections and excellent service! We had the boursin dip for an appetizer, the turkey pesto and tomato soup and the roast beef sandwich with fries. All was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Cannot rave enough about my experience at HopCat. I decided to try the Cajun Alfredo with a caesar salad on the side, and both dishes blew me away. The caesar salad was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the Cajun Alfredo absolutely exceeded my expectations.
What truly made our experience special was the service. Every staff member was so kind and attentive, from the host, to the people who brought out our food, to our absolutely amazing server Hannah. Hannah made sure to come around frequently to ensure we had everything we needed, and each time, she addressed us with a friendly and attentive demeanor.
Already, I cannot wait to return to this location.

My niece and I had a wonderful experience at HopCat! We were very happy with our food choices and loved the flavors of our meals. What really made the evening stand out was our server, Hannah, who went above and beyond to make our dinner enjoyable. We even asked to see the manager so we could share our appreciation, and we were delighted to find that Matt, the manager, was just as pleasant and welcoming. Thank you to the team for such a great dining experience!

Hubby & I went here for dinner. Atmosphere was really nice. Love the makeover from the pizza place. We ordered the crispy sprouts for an appetizer, I really enjoyed them, hubs wasn’t a fan. I had the Pickleback chicken sandwich, it wad very tasty, but I felt it was missing something. If you love pickles, I highly recommend this sandwich. My husband had the double cheeseburger, looked really good.

Fun time. Love the atmosphere. Just like the downtown one but brighter. More light throughout. Service and food were good. Drinks were just ok. Very inconsistent in taste. Same drink would taste good one round but gross the next

This was our first time here and it absolutely will not be our last. Our server, Nate, was phenomenal. From the moment we sat down he was attentive, constantly checking on us, making sure everything came out right, and making the whole experience enjoyable. Not only was he a great server, but we shared a few laughs along the way too. It’s rare to get service that genuine anymore, and Nate really made the visit memorable.
If you’re on the fence about trying this place, take it from us—just go. You won’t regret it.
We ordered the Cajun Alfredo, the Hangover Burger, Cosmic Fries, and the Killer Mac. The whole spread was incredible. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. We tried to finish it all and almost succeeded—there was barely anything left on the table by the end.
Also, I suggest anyone try the “straight leaves with a side of Caesar”… Nate will know what that means
10/10 across the board. Great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service from Nate. We’ll definitely be back, and next time we’ll be asking for Nate again!

The service was top notch from beginning to end. Austin, my server/waiter was awesome. He was friendly, engaging, warm, full of personality and made a great drink recommendation. The location was clean and the food was good.

Walked in place looked really nice, had big hopes. Hostess was on the phone taking reservations I think waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Maybe a dozen patrons in the building. Took another 15 minutes to have a server come to the table. Remember about 12 patrons in the building. Ordered drinks, appetizers, and then placed order for our lunch. Waited another half hour or so for all of our food and it all came out at once. The appetizer had been sitting under a heat lamp and was not good. The chips was like they took the crumbs from the bottom of the bag and put them on the plate. The sandwiches were ok, at least they were warm. The fries were cold. As well as we never had a server come back and ask if we needed anything until we pushed all plates and empty glasses to the edge of the table and they brought the bill. Would not recommend and will not be back.
