5 stars for the beer - 2 stars for their food.
There is no other place in Madison with the huge selection of beers that HopCat has, but they also run out quite frequently so pick 2-3 that sound good in case your waiter/waitress comes back to let you know they're out.
I have been here on two separate occasions. The first time I ordered the grilled cheese, which came with a tomato soup. It was an average grilled cheese, the cheese wasn't melted in the middle but there was tons of cheese! The second time I ordered their sloppy joe, which had their cheese sauce on top - not a fan and fries and jalapeƱos in the middle. If I hadn't known I ordered a sloppy joe I would have thought I was eating some big mush gravy fries burger. My friend ordered their cheeseburger, which didn't taste spectacular.
Service wasn't great either. On a Sunday night with only four tables it took half an hour to get beers and another hour for the food, total of an hour and a half.
Plenty of other bars nearby with good quality food and beers on tap if you're looking for a party in your mouth of some good mouthwatering food that you'll actually crave to come back for.
