The Cat Pub & Eatery: Reviews & Ratings
This is what a dive bar should be. Grungy and cute but actually clean, excellent service, and food that is not only delicious but well priced. The daily specials are fantastic and the staff are friendly and exceptionally capable. Every time I leave I can't wait to come back!
My family and I came here in between funeral viewings for my beloved mother-in-law. First the server was just awesome and fast. Next the food was at the next level, this was not bar food as you know it - 16 people and every dish was amazing - my mother-in-law would have enjoyed it
So...this is the most awesome local bar & pub. It a typical low key bar with, surprisingly, really really good food! Great burgers. Thursday is Chicken and Rib night and its really tasty and really popular. (Get there early as last time the sold out quickly). Romi (coolest and hardest working bartender) knows everyone by name and knows what your drinking. Just have a seat and Romi brings you your drink, no need to order. Nice selection of beer on tap. Try the Buzzer Beater !!
We have been going for brunch at The Cat for over 20 years! Great breakfast/brunch for a reasonable price. Traditional breakfast and in the weekends they have specials as pictured. Also love the beef dip
Came for brunch/lunch and the bartender was just what I needed after over 3 years away from Canada! Gorgeous and sweet with incredible service. The beer battered Haddock was cooked to perfection and the fries were awesome.
This is a great place - where everyone knows your name. Roadhouse style - with patrons from all walks of life. We go frequently. They have regular food nights with deep discounts (eg. Wednesday is Souvlaki, Thursday is Chicken and Ribs - when I last had it - 12.99). A pub style menu, high quality food and very reasonably priced. ***Hidden secret is brunch, which is new to the restaurant. You can't beat 10.99 Eggs Benedict (see pictures)***. The staff are great - Servers: Donya, Romy, Daryl, Catherine, Monique, ...; Chef: Chris, Osaze, ...; Owner: Angelo. And again - they know your name.
I’ve been coming here for years, and honestly, it’s the staff that keeps me coming back. They’re just great people—genuine, friendly, and always make me feel welcome. The vibe is super laid-back, which is hard to find in the city. Good people, good energy. It’s just one of those spots I’m just really glad to have nearby.
Went for their Latin Night, it was fun! Good music and good food. The staff was really friendly and attentive. Hope to again for another Latin Night! The nachos were a good portions shared between 3 people and there was still some left that we just couldn't fit. I only tried one cocktail but there are a lot on the menu and they carry wine and beer as well.
