​​BEARCAT CBD Brunch Review: Surprises & Letdowns in NOLA​​ 🥞🦀😩

Hey foodies！Just got back from testing out the hype at ​​BEARCAT CBD​​ - New Orleans' trendiest brunch spot. 🌟 Some hits, some misses, but definitely an experience worth sharing！ ​​🦀 Crab Scramble​​ The standout winner of my meal！🥇 Packed with generous chunks of fresh crab meat, these fluffy scrambled eggs were absolutely delicious！ The accompanying hash browns were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside - chef's kiss 🥔✨ Only downside？ The seasoning was a bit heavy-handed for my taste. Still, 3 stars for this seafood lover！ ​​🐔 Hot Chicken Plate​​ Biggest disappointment of the day... 😩 The fried chicken was surprisingly soggy - nowhere near the crispy goodness I was expecting！ The mac & cheese was middle-of-the-road at best. And that overpowering saltiness？ Yikes！ Zero stars for this one. ​​🍑 The Devil on the Horseback​​ This unexpected gem surprised me！ 🥜 Bacon-wrapped dates with a hidden almond center - sweet, savory, and just the right amount of crunch！ Not too heavy, not too sweet - perfect balance！ 3 stars for this creative appetizer！ ​​✨ Ambience & Service​​ Love their smart waitlist system - no more endless hovering！ 📝 The outdoor patio is beautifully decorated (when you get a good seat...) 🌿 Unfortunately, my table was right next to the speakers - way too loud for comfortable conversation！ 😣 But the indoor area looked cozy and Instagrammable！ 📸 ​​💰 Quick Facts​​ 📍 845 Carondelet St, New Orleans, LA 70130 ⏰ Brunch served until 3PM (perfect for late sleepers！) 💵 Prices are NOLA-standard - not cheap but worth it for the portions！ ​​Final Verdict​​: A mixed bag but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area！ 🎯 Go for the crab scramble and deviled dates, skip the hot chicken, and pray for a good seat！ 😉 #NOLABrunch #NewOrleansEats #FoodieAdventures #BearcatCBD #BrunchHacks
