Featuring raw oysters and fresh seafood with international influences from executive chef Eddie Barrett, BeetleCat is a trendy restaurant and bar in Atlanta’s Inman Park neighborhood. The menu transports you to the New England coast at the upstairs dining room and oyster bar, while the downstairs Den lends itself to a 70s surf shack. Enjoy fresh air on one of the two patios, both upstairs and downstairs. BeetleCat is open nightly for dinner and offers brunch in the Den on Saturdays and Sundays.

The food is always great, but the price change was unexpected. No fries with the lobster roll?

Always a pleasant dining experience at Beetlecat! Today was my Dad’s birthday and he wanted seafood so we pretty much ordered all the seafood items. Everything was delicious! We ordered raw and cooked foods and everything was spectacular! I’ll always come back! :)

We had brunch at Beetlecat. It was great! We’ve had dinner, but first time for brunch. Awesome food and service. Doughnuts were great too! Highly recommend for brunch in Inman Park.

The waitress was friendly. We sampled the baked oysters, fries (3/10), spicy noodle bowl (7/10), and lobster roll (7.5/10). The fries were overly greasy, as if they had been soaked in oil. The baked oysters were simply topped with breadcrumbs and cheddar cheese, rather than being baked. On the other hand, the lobster roll had pure lobster on a roll, which I appreciated more than the typical version overloaded with mayonnaise. Overall, I would rate it a 7.5/10. While we gave it a shot, I would not recommend.

Super bummed to realize they’ve drastically reduced the size of the lobster roll. It used to be much much larger, on a larger roll and was served with chips. Now there’s no side and the new roll is way smaller! I get it, times are tough, but you’re still charging $38.

For this being a special dinner for one (birthday) I was not expecting to be missing items from my order, waiting longer than others, I would have hoped for a little bit of a better experience. The server was nice, the oysters good as well as the drink.

This was my first time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The Beetlecat team helped set the stage for my event and took great care of us throughout. Destiny was our waitress...we hope the tip reflected our gratitude.

This is awesome, Shaun! We're so glad everything was to your enjoyment, and we'll definitely pass along your gratitude towards Destiny!
