HopCat returned to Royal Oak in 2023 at the corner of Main and 4th Street. The expansive space features multiple sidewalk patios and a massive wrap-around bar. We’re just down the street from the Royal Oak Theatre, Oakland Community College, Stagecrafters Baldwin Theatre, and the Royal Oak train station.

HopCat was founded on the principles of bringing local craft beer a bit closer to the communities we love. We’re known for our award-wining Cosmik fries, which are beer battered, sprinkled with our signature cracked black pepper seasoning, and served with a side of warm cheese sauce. From burgers to tacos, our menu offers a range of delicious options.

We live the craft lifestyle - beer, cocktails and even craft food made from scratch. With a dedication to local breweries, sustainability and community engagement, HopCat offers craft beer and great food in a vibrant atmosphere for an inclusive, unforgettable experience.

    Had a reservation but still had to wait more than 20 minutes for a table. Service was VERY slow the entire time we were there, and the combination made us late for the concert we had tickets for around the corner. Even asked for the bill when we got our food, we didn’t get until after we had finished eating and then had to wait again before getting cashed out.
    HopCat - Royal OakResponded on 14 November 2024
    Thank you for your honest and transparent feedback, Josh. We are sad to hear that we were unable to meet expectations when it came to your service experience. This is not our standard, nor the type of service we strive to offer. We would very much like the opportunity to make it up to you. If you are willing, please call and ask for the GM directly, I would like to ask a few follow up questions regarding your experience so that we can better improve on the specific noted areas of opportunity. I can be reached at the restaurant anytime. Kaleb - GM

    Our service was good, however, the new menu is disappointing, they removed items our family liked, Southwest salad, BLT. Also, miss the round pretzel nugs.
    HopCat - Royal OakResponded on 31 October 2024
    Thanks for the honest and transparent feedback, Brian. We too are sad to see some of these items leave our menu, but are very excited about the new offerings. We hope that you and your family can find something new to enjoy with us. Cheers!

    Vinny was a great server and we enjoyed our meal before heading downtown. Vinny also saved the day by chasing us down to give us our forgotten car key fob before we got out of sight, thanks again!

    Vinny to the rescue! Thanks so much for reaching out to tell us Janet, Vinny is a great dude and we're so glad he made your experience such a memorable one! Can't wait to see you again! Cheers, Emmeline Jurek (Assistant General Manager)

    This was our first time for Bruch at HopCat. The food was great and the service top notch. We went at 10 am because we had a busy day. It wasn’t crowded so the wait staff was there for us often. Highly recommend

    Cocktails were ok, but not very fresh. We ordered drinks and a shared appetizer platter. The platter was missing a couple items that were listed on the menu, which was brought to our waiters attention but never received. Not a horrible experience, but room for improvement.

    The food was good and reasonably priced. The service was a little slow, but I think that’s part of the restaurant’s design to have people drink more alcohol.
