Fat Cats

Surprising and worth the wait. The Pork Banh Bao was amazing. Its pork was crisp, flavorful, and the sauce had a good kick. The Lobster Bisque was buttery, creamy, and had super tiny bits of lobster meat. I expected the Adobo Fried Chicken to come out coated in an adobo sauce. Instead, it was more of a dry crispy exterior that I was surprised by. It was BEYOND crunchy. They nailed the breading. The meat was juicy and full of flavor. Its coleslaw wasn't cream or mayo-based, but instead a vinegar or brine and was very good. It came with what felt like a tzatziki or tartar sauce, again, not what I was expecting but paired well. The jasmine rice it came with was a liiiiiitle mushy, but it wasn't terrible. The Fish Tacos were also good. The tortilla they came in was almost like naan bread or a pita. Unique flavors all around. Service was prompt, polite, and seemed level-headed even though it was a full house with lines out the door. I must have seen the cooks coming in through the front door with fresh ingredients at least 3 times and servers coming and going from the basement all night. It was also great to see them wearing their Fat Cats merch. The atmosphere was cozy, dark, and had lots of string lights. You can tell it was 3 houses combined to make the whole building the restaurant. Really cool exposed brick and original hardwood flooring. They were also playing GREAT music. It felt like a modern nightclub with house or EDM music, but it was quiet. You could still carry on a conversation easily. We will definitely be back!

Great place to check out! The food was fantastic. We got the crab melt and white pizza. There are so many flavors, and they they make their own crust.

Found this place through DDD while visiting for the weekend. Whole menu looked amazing, ended up going with the ribeye sandwich from the seasonal menu. Very much recommend it for others, great baguette, perfectly done steak and onions, delicious fries. Nice souvenirs and sauces available on the way out as well. Would definitely return on another trip to Cleveland.

This is a very nice place. Beautiful views, pleasant atmosphere, and generally nice folks all around. All of the staff that I encountered were welcoming and helpful. Our waiter, Justin, was awesome! I ordered the Bbq ribs, and they were pretty good. The first couple of bites were a little bit more chewy than I expected them to be, but as I continued to eat, it got better. The Korean soy barbecue sauce that tops the ribs is quite different from any other BBQ sauce I've had before. It's literally a soy sauce based sauce with red pepper flakes and some other flavors that make for an interesting experience for your palate. If you like beer, I would recommend the Peanut Butter Stout to pair with this dish. It was delicious! My friends ordered the Swordfish Tacos and the Crab Melt sandwich, respectively. And we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Perhaps my only gripe would be that there's no indoor waiting area. The only space they have to wait for a table is outside on the side of the building. I appreciated that they set up some radiant heaters to help their customers endure the wait. But, that's exactly what we had to do, endure the wait! This is Cleveland, Ohio, people! And it gets cold in the winter, especially so close to the lake. So, that could be better. Oh, and there's barely any parking. But that's Tremont! So that is a situation that you expect going in. But, overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Fat Cats! I would definitely recommend it.

After having been once before for apps, finally got to go for dinner tonight. It was awesome! We went for my grandma’s 92nd birthday and she was so excited to try a new restaurant and very pleased with the food. Our table shared vegan lumpia and vegan calamari - both were great! The waitress even gave us an additional lumpia to make sure all 4 of us got one 😊 For dinner, funnily enough, my girlfriend, dad, and grandma ALL had the tofu noodle bowl 😂 It was a little on the smaller side, but the tofu was delicious. I got the tofu banh mi sandwich, which came with sweet potato fries. I loved it! The tofu here is seriously so amazing. We also got potato soup to-go for my mom, but review is still pending on that. I was also shocked that it only came to $89 for four entrees, two apps, and soup. Nice prices! It’s also so eclectic and cute with bright colors and a gorgeous view of the city right when you walk outside. Love, love, love Fat Cats! Oh - awesome service too🤩
