| - Toni and I stopped in, per her review, on a Sunday morning after our evening out in Cleveland. We were both craving a greasy, filling brunch and an alcoholic beverage to take the edge off of our hangovers. My friend we were visiting had mentioned that Fat Cats is one of her favorite places in the area, so we decided to give it a try.
Like most other places in Tremont, Fat Cat's is cute and welcoming both inside and outside. Locals filled the tables and we were seated promptly next to a larger party. I ordered a Bloody Mary and Toni ordered the mimosa. The Bloody was just OK. Extremely strong - and I was about to make the trek back to Pittsburgh, so I couldn't finish it. Toni's mimosa was good.
We both ordered the breakfast burger with the fried egg on top and sweet potato fries with aioli. I usually prefer ranch, but they do not offer it here. Presentation of our meals was nice. Our burgers were absolutely flavorless. Mine was undercooked and so was the egg. Neither of us finished even half of our meals. Not even salt or pepper helped. Service was ok - nothing stood out positively that I can remember, but also nothing bad either.
I asked my friend after our meal what she normally orders since she was the one that recommended it, and she informed me she usually just goes for martinis and appetizers. Maybe if you're interested in that, this would be a good choice, but I wouldn't come back ever again for brunch. Much better places in CLE with better food.
