I went to Fat Cats with my sister because of all the positive reviews. We wanted to take advantage of happy hour and outdoor seating since it was a nice and warm day. The moment we parked we noticed an awful pungent smell coming from the dumpster that is located feet away from the outdoor patio. So outdoors sitting was out - a disappointment.
Inside the atmosphere is relaxed, but maybe a bit too relaxed considering our waitress wore a dirty grey t-shirt. I ordered a Moscow mule (6.50 during happy hour - great deal) but 5 min later was told they were out of ginger beer. They wouldn't give us a HH price for drinks on regular menu despite not being able to deliver what we ordered on the first place. But ok, on to food.
We waited for about 20min for food to arrive. My sister had fried chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Sandwich was amazing! Fresh, crunchy, spicy with perfect compliment of coleslaw. Fries were just OK. I had risotto and tempura shrimp. Risotto was creamy and well done but lacked savory richness of Parmesan. Tempura shrimp was absolutely awful! It smelled like chlorine and tasted like cardboard. Clearly it was old and frozen shrimp.
Is three stars too generous?
