My fiance and I came here to celebrate our 4 month anniversary after some of the other places in Lincoln closed down because it was past 10:00. Really appreciate how these guys are open late and also really love the food here! We both got the roasted cauliflower tacos to share as a starter. The cauliflower is roasted to perfection and had a really good flavor. The tahini sauce on those tacos was also amazing and everything went together so well. Only downside was at the cauliflower was quite oily. I pressed out the oil with paper towels and everything was great after that. For the main course I ordered the Southwest salad with chicken. Oh my! What a beautiful beautiful salad this was! So massive as well. Abundance of greens. Extra abundance of jalapenos which I put on the side later. Fresh cheese. Crispy tortilla chips. Red onions, a really amazing bean and corn mixture and that beautiful dressing on top! Everything really really went together so well. That dressing was so good, even my fiance took some for his side salad! He ordered a burger without the bun and really really liked it. I think it was the Bar Zee Dbl Smash Burger, But I'm not too sure. The cheese was perfectly melted though and the meat perfectly cooked. That onion ring was also crispy. Everything went really well he said.

In town for work tonight, I needed to get something to eat and it was approaching 10 pm on a Sunday night. Lazlo's was closing. They pointed me to HopCat. I'm glad they did! The bar tender, Zac, delivered stellar service along with sagely advice. He guided me through a dealers choice journey that didn't disappoint. The beers he brought me were just delicious a stout and IPA. The dinner selection: the grilled cheese but this wasn't your mom's grilled cheese. This was a grown up grilled cheese with a cherry on top! They call it the Madtown Grilled Cheese! Fries were perfectly crispy and dipped in the cheese sauce only made them tastier (Zac's suggestion again). He also added chicken and removed the apples (both great calls). Then the red pepper gouda bisque was my dessert after the sandwich and fries were demolished Zac was attentive and communicative. He even helped out the kitchen staff who was unstaffed and struggling with a high volume of food orders at the end of the night (of course everyone at the bar had their drinks before he stepped into the back to help out). My visit to HopCat was excellent. I expect yours will be the same, especially if you are served by Zac at the bar

We are there about three months ago. Was going to leave a review then but got busy then saw the pictures still on my computer so figured I would get this done. It was for lunch on a Saturday, we were in town for a sorority parents weekend event. The place was hopping and everyone was having a good time. The atmosphere in this place is pretty fun and lots of wall decor to look at and a nicely stocked bar with a LOT of beer selections. Service was pretty decent for as busy as they were but the food was less than stellar. The Rodeo Clown burger was good and so was the steak and cheese but my burger, the Stella Blue, that I specifically ordered to have NO LETTUCE, had lettuce on it anyway. My stomach does not agree with lettuce. Instead of sending it back for fear of what would happen to my food I just scraped off all the lettuce I could, which they would have probably done but when the lettuce is combined with sauce on a soggy bun you cannot get it all. The fourth order was a chicken sandwich and it was pretty dry. My daughter didn't finish it so I took a taste and realized why. We finished eating and paid the check then went to go shopping around the Hay Market area. That's when the lettuce returned to haunt me. It was about 30-40 minutes after leaving and we were in an antique store that had no public restrooms so I returned to HopCat and spent what seemed like an eternity in their restroom. As any decent person would have done, I did several courtesy flushes to not upset other guests. Felt much better after that but kind of ruined our fun afternoon. By the way, the bathrooms were very clean and were still clean when I left. Had we just been there for drinks this place would have for sure gotten 5 stars. UPDATE 07/23/2024: Got a response from HopCat on July 11, 2024. Sent email to the address they sent me for kmontgomery. Been over 10 days—no response. It was a cut/paste, I didn't type the sent email wrong. UPDATE 07/26/2024: kmontgomery got back. We're going to give them another shot this fall when our daughter is back in school.

It was our first time going here. The place seems clean and tends to attract people, I'm guessing because of the food and drinks. I saw quite a few doordash orders, and people were definitely coming in in groups after I had placed my order. My order took longer than the 15-20 minutes I was told. I figured it was worth the wait because our food would be piping hot. I was wrong.. 1. Garlic parmesan wings - Flavorless, cold, and still red on the inside. Not even cooked all the way. I'm hoping it doesn't hurt our stomachl because it was not properly cooked. 2. Loaded brisket fries - I liked that I was able to build it my way when we got to the room. Negative the lady who put my or order together didn't give us utensils. The brisket was tender, but once I had put it all together, my masterpiece was salty.. The fries were cold 3. Hangover burger - This was amazing, and all you really need. It was a flavor explosion in your mouth with every bite. Honestly, this was the only thing they got right. 4. Crème brûlée cheesecake - This thing looked fake. When we bit into it, the cheesecake was hard and tasted funny. It didn't taste like cheesecake or Crème brûlée. The caramel topping they give you just makes it worse. It didn't taste like caramel. The consistency of it all was just off. 5. Reese's Pie - It was decent, nothing special. I'd compare it similar to a hershey's pie at Burger King. I'd say the one at Burger King is better and worth every penny compared to paying double the price here. This place was busy, based on reviews, the way the food looks in pictures. I expected way more. The lady who took my order seemed nice, and she seemed all over my order. What fell short was that there were no napkins or silverware to eat the loaded fries. Maybe it was an off day, but I can't see myself coming back or recommending this place to anyone.
