Fat Cats — Restaurant in Town of Herkimer

They have the best fish in town, and they are fast even when they are super busy. If you like lemon with your seafood, they unfortunately only have bottled juice & not fresh lemon wedges.

There's ice cream arean rice pudding. Etc. Or just come to casual friends date and enjoy oversized portions of ice cream soft or hard. I know you'll be...

Don’t get me wrong wonderful people, nice at the counter and everything. However my Fish and Chips - The fish itself was super bland, fish had no seasoning and was dry. Fries were Fries, over salted but ok. The Shrimp - Shrimp wasn’t even peeled. Also super bland. I’m biting into it and chewing and tasting bits of the shrimp skin. So awesome. Appreciate the effort but some seasoning, and de-skinning the shrimp would’ve...
