About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    My husband and I dine at Beetlecat to celebrate our anniversary every year and it never disappoints. The service, the food, and the atmosphere are all outstanding. We are so appreciative that several staff not only acknowledged our anniversary, but also went the extra mile to make our experience extra special.

    This may be the first review I've every written in Open Table, but I feel I need to warn future cusomers. If you like cool donuts , this is a great place for you. For brunch, not so much. The menu is very limited so take a look before you order. Our party of seven over a half an hour for toast and locks, biscuits, bacon and eggs, and 2 burgers. Food was delivered in shifts of 4 or 5 minutes between Ex: my eggs and bacon came and after 10 minutes I cancelled the biscuits because the eggs were getting cold. The bacon was thick but undercooked/rubbery, the eggs were crumbled and dry. The salmon over toast looked okay but the toast itself was thin and dry. There were not very many people in the restaurant for such sub par food. Aside from my daughters donut which she thought was amazing, I could have made this breakfast at home much better in half the time . No-one had any drinks and somehow the bill was about $30/person. We went because we were late to book brunch on a sunday and it was the only place that could take us. All seven of us agreed we knew why after the meal. This place has potential with a great location, cool vibe and unique donut offerings, everything else needs a visit from Robert Irvine. Sorry ya'll, hope you take this feedback and do something with it.

    Great early evening dinner. Zach was fabulous! The food was superb (very flavorful) and the oysters Zach recommended were delicious. Everyone who visited our table was pleasant and came with a smile. We are very picky eaters, so it’s always a pleasure to find a good spot. We’ll come back to Beetlecat often.

    The restaurant is currently navigating some menu changes, a familiar process for those of us who have been loyal visitors. During our visits, we were fortunate to experience excellent service from Danielle, who truly made us feel welcome. Julianna, the manager, has shown a remarkable dedication to ensuring every customer's experience is positive. The last two times my family and I dined here, Julianna has taken the time to personally introduce herself, seek our feedback, and make any necessary adjustments to enhance our experience before we left Beetlecat. This thoughtful approach is why we will continue returning, feeling valued and appreciated.

    BeetleCat delivers an exceptional dining experience with standout dishes and stellar service. The schnitzel was perfectly crisp and flavorful, while the Moqueca seafood stew was rich, hearty, smoky, spicy and flavorful and brimming with fresh shellfish. Their fish and chips were golden, flaky, and satisfying—elevated comfort food done right. A surprising highlight was the coconut rice, subtly sweet and fragrant, pairing beautifully with the mains. Our server was not only attentive and responsive but also brought a fun, engaging energy that added to the evening. A top pick for seafood lovers in Atlanta.

    Such eloquent descriptions!! Thank you for the kind words and high praise, Jim! We hope to see you in again soon!
