Overall it was a nice experience. I would go back. However I wouldn’t order the Madtown Grilled Cheese again. It sounded wonderful on the menu. It was supposed to have honey and garlic aioli on it but there was so little on it you couldn’t taste either. It was a grilled cheese with apples on it disappointing.

Arrived a little early for our reservation but were seated within 10 minutes. The server, Ashley, was knowledgeable and attentive. Other staff checked on us, too. Only issue was the Quesp dip was not hot enough and the cheese was not smooth and runny. More like a spread than a dip consistency.
HopCat SouthgateResponded on July 2, 2025
Hi Kathy! Thank you for coming to our soft opening charity night. It means a lot to us that you would support our employee & community assistance fund. We'd love to invite you back for another try of the Elote Queso Dip, on us. Email me at support @hopcat.com and we'd love to make it right. Cheers! - Michele
