Reviews for HopCat in Lincoln, NE
Great ambiance! Fun atmosphere and decor with vintage album covers and chandeliers. Lots of different beers on tap. Great menu... selection. Bruschetta turkey burger was wonderful! Also had a yummy strawberry basil mule! Prices were reasonable for portions. Read more
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 roastedcauliflower tacos to share as a starter. The cauliflower is roasted to perfection and had a really good flavor. The tahini sauceon those tacos was also amazing and everything went together so well. Only downside was at the cauliflower was quite oily. Ipressed out the oil with paper towels and everything was great after that. For the main course I ordered the Southwest saladwith chicken. Oh my! What a beautiful beautiful salad this was! So massive as well. Abundance of greens. Extra abundance ofjalapenos which I put on the side later. Fresh cheese. Crispy tortilla chips. Red onions, a really amazing bean and corn mixtureand that beautiful dressing on top! Everything really really went together so well. That dressing was so good, even my fiancetook some for his side salad! He ordered a burger without the bun and really really liked it. I think it was the Bar Zee DblSmash Burger, But I'm not too sure. The cheese was perfectly melted though and the meat perfectly cooked. That onion ring wasalso crispy. Everything went really well he said. Read more
The good we had here was delicious!! The grilled cheese was absolutely phenomenal! The tomato soup was yummy too. The fries are... a bit sweet, which is unique! My husband?s burger wasn?t overly special, but it still tasted good. The Buffalo wontons weretasty!!! They have a very fun decorated inside. The patio is simple, but works! Read more
A really great place to enjoy some good bar food and a local brew. I've been here more times than I can count and the food... always impresses me and the service has always been good and timely. If you're in Lincoln for a game or just a weekend,consider adding them to your lunch or dinner plans. Read more
Appetizer ?????????? Pretzel Nuggz with Cheese dipping sauce and horseradish mustard sauce Meal ?????????? Garlic Parm Boneless... Wings Stella Bleu Burger ???? and Fries ???? Cowboy Burger ???? and Fries ???? Service ?????????? Levi did a Fantastic jobgreeting us and allowing us to dry a sample of fresh brew. He was very knowledgeable with his products and theflavors. Atmosphere ?????????? Not too loud, didn't really notice any music, and I believe there was a few TVs but not facingthe direction I was. Large bar in the middle and outdoor seating available (just not able to enjoy the evening sunset). Drinks?????????? Hop Cat Margarita Zomer Wit (from Omaha, Farnam Brewing House Company) Overall great place to try in Lincoln,especially if you've got an event downtown! Parking wasn't too bad, but we were down for a little walk on this beautiful 60°spring break day. Thank you for good food, and reasonable prices. Read more
First we ordered appetizers... a basket of salted pretzel bites with a horseradish/honey mustard dip and a house beer cheese... blend. Let me tell you guys.... the cheese dip was amazing!!! Then I ordered a Stella blue burger and it was on point! Read more
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. Heguided 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 acherry on top! They call it the Madtown Grilled Cheese! Fries were perfectly crispy and dipped in the cheese sauce only madethem tastier (Zac's suggestion again). He also added chicken and removed the apples (both great calls). Then the red peppergouda bisque was my dessert after the sandwich and fries were demolished Zac was attentive and communicative. He even helpedout the kitchen staff who was unstaffed and struggling with a high volume of food orders at the end of the night (of courseeveryone at the bar had their drinks before he stepped into the back to help out). My visit to HopCat was excellent. I expectyours will be the same, especially if you are served by Zac at the bar Read more
The service was phenomenal. The food was underwhelming. I had the brisket tacos and was expecting a street taco but it was more... like a quesadilla. My friend had the boneless wings and said they tasted odd. She mentioned that to the server who subsequentlytold the manager. The manager came over and specifically asked how our food was and my friend explained that the wings had anoff flavor in the manager was very apologetic and took the cost of the wings off of our ticket. It was unnecessary butappreciated. Read more
