Very disappointing We decided to go for lunch as reviews had been great but the lines sounded daunting. Ordered the lobster & crab nachos; sizable portion, good seafood content but brown avocado slices and a mouthful of garlic turned me off. Tried the "homemade apple crisp" with vanilla ice cream; again disappointed as there was no real topping except some burned crumbs and the big problem was a chunk of raw onion in the ice cream! My friend and I waited over 15 minutes for coffee...one came and the other one was delivered s... read more

Fat Cat is Delicious Great Comfort Food!Really inviting and warm atmosphere. A fun place to go for dinner. Try one of their innovative macaroni and cheeses - you will not regret it. my favorite is the Lobster Mac.

exactly what a neighborhood restaurant should be! Small, exciting, all kinds of people...young , old, and the in-betweens! Great appetizers, and the lobster mac and cheese has no equal anywhere. We were greeted by the chef, seated quickly, and served by a friendly server. We intend to make this a regular stop. Good luck in Quincy. Luanne

OKAY Loved the busyness and the staff. Found the menu to be full of cream sauce or garlic. Need more options, we all left hungry and did not get any bread. Don't know if they do not serve it or if it was an oversight. I had the tilapia special, very good but small and I did not see any vegetables on anyones plates, they were very missed. Later I was said to be tasting garlic all night. If I new it was full of garlic I would have passed. Will give it one more shot cause they made a great cosmo!

Save Your Money After reading some reviews of the Fat Cat, I gathered 5 friends and planned a night out. When 3 of us arrived and put our name in, we were told all things negative. They won't seat until everyone is there. They never take reservations. They would need two tables to seat us and they won't hold one empty waiting for another to clear. Etc... At this point, I wanted to go to the Fours but my friends felt we should give it a try. We went to the bar while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. Drinks were OK ... read more

Fat Cat is out of the norm but well worth it their fries are out of this world and I have to agree the mac and cheese is to die for its a small place behind quincy square and parking in the lot across the street is cheap. it only seats about 50 not including the bar which adds about another 20 or so but its worth the wait garlic and parsley fries are my favorite..ENJOY

Bad experience We had one of the worst restaurant experiences EVER. My husband, sister, and I went for dinner. When we arrived, the hostess took our name and told us it would be 30-40 minutes. We sat at the bar, ordered drinks, and waited. After about 30 minutes, we noticed couples who had come in after us being seated. One of the bartenders went over and checked with the hostess and came back and told us we would be seated soon. Then two young women who had just walked in were offered a high top table in the bar area. When ... read more

Disatisfied Customers To the Owner of the Fat Cat: I am sending this in the hopes that you will be aware of just how shamelessly we were treated in your restaurant last Sunday night, 5/18/2008, We arrived around 6:30 pm for dinner, as it was the first time we all had come to try it out. The restaurant was packed, however we were seated Right away. Very upbeat, happy atmosphere, and fairly loud, given that the seating is very close together and w/ the brick walls, an acoustical Nightmare. However, this only added to the adven... read more

Really great experience !!!! I tried this new bistro last night for the first time and it was just all around wonderful ! I thought the food was exceptional and portions were beyond more than I could eat at one sitting. The decor was inviting and attractive and the entire staff friendly and knowledgeable. I also thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and choices, this is a place I will visit often, just loved it !!!
