We visited HopCat on a Sat night before college move-in. That matters because there weren't as many people in town. Parking was still tight! Be prepared to hunt for parking! However, HopCat is worth the effort! They have an extensive beer & drink selection. We tried the Mama Mia dip which was a huge hit with our group. The Cajun Chicken Alfredo is delicious! Very flavorful and spicy without being overwhelming. Our server Reygan was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Someone please...

I’d say Avery our server was exceptional, she always made sure we had what we needed, as well as her brining a smile to my face. It’s not every day you go to restaurant and there is a server as good as her.
