About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining

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 waitress was really slow to come back to the table and I had to get her attention twice to get service.

Initially, I was sad that the delicious green salad with shrimp and avocado that I’d had on Father’s Day wasn’t on the menu, but the smoked salmon toast was SO GOOD that I was perfectly happy!

The food was amazing. The oysters and drinks took a while to come out, but they proactively comped our drinks without us complaining so that was nice. Food was top-tier, service is usually good here, but had some challenges today. I’m sure it’ll be good again next time.

We went for oyster happy hour. The oysters were fresh and delicious. The tables are just a little close together which makes it less intimate.

My first time dining here. Was seated on the patio but it started raining 5 minutes in. Moved to high top bar and seated on end next to kitchen with staff constantly going in and out despite there being other tables indoors as well as 4-6 other places to sit at the bar. Ordered a salad with dressing on the side, it was brought out covered in dressing. Ordered a lobster roll with aioli on the side, it came out with aioli. Ordered fries with no salt, they came out with salt. I received the opposite of literally EVERYTHING I ordered. On top of that, I waited over 20 minutes for fresh fries, so I could not eat them with my lobster roll and by the time they finally arrived at the table, it was extremely cold. What I will say is that my server was very attentive despite how the food kept coming out. The food was decent, but not good enough for me to return. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended) and was a terrible, yet lasting first impression.
