5 /5 Beth Hoffman: The quinoa bowl was a hearty portion. Fresh ingredients and a tangy dressing. Fish and chips were tasty. Others in our group had the Dirty Martini burger and the Supper Club Wrap. Everyone enjoyed their food.

5 /5 B Sannar: The barbecue chicken Cobb salad is a delightful twist on the classic Cobb salad, combining the smoky, tangy flavors of barbecue chicken with the fresh, crisp elements you expect from a traditional Cobb. The star of the dish is the barbecue chicken itself—tender, juicy pieces that are perfectly coated in a rich, slightly sweet barbecue sauce. This adds a wonderful depth of flavor and a bit of a smoky kick that elevates the salad far beyond the ordinary. The salad base typically includes a vibrant mix of fresh greens like romaine and iceberg lettuce, which provide a refreshing crunch that balances the richness of the chicken. Classic Cobb ingredients such as crisp bacon, creamy avocado, hard-boiled eggs, and tangy blue cheese are layered throughout, each adding their own texture and flavor profile. The bacon adds a salty crunch, the avocado contributes a smooth, buttery element, the eggs bring a mild richness, and the blue cheese offers a sharp, pungent contrast that ties everything together. What really makes this salad stand out is the dressing choice. A smoky barbecue ranch or a zesty chipotle dressing often accompanies it, enhancing the barbecue theme without overpowering the other ingredients. The dressing adds creaminess and a hint of spice, rounding out the salad with a perfect balance of flavors. Overall, the barbecue chicken Cobb salad is a satisfying, hearty dish that’s both nutritious and indulgent. It’s ideal for those who want a salad that feels like a full meal, packed with protein and bursting with complementary flavors and textures. Whether you’re enjoying it for lunch or dinner, it’s a dish that leaves you feeling both refreshed and satisfied.

3 /5 Cody Hansen: Ordered the blackened shrimp dish at 17$, shrimp were not “blackened” and looked microwaved (refer to image) flavor was mediocre, rice in the dish was basically grits. Beer and fries were fine. Atmosphere was average for a chain restaurant.

3 /5 Tamara Knapp: Stopped into HopCat in Livonia. The food was good and the staff was friendly, but the service was noticeably slow. Unfortunately, the bathroom was also a letdown. It was dirty, and there were extra toilet paper rolls left scattered around, which made it feel like they restocked without properly cleaning or refilling. Overall, it took away from what could have been a much better experience. Hopefully just an off day.
