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.

Wow, what a great afternoon/evening of oysters and Prosecco on the downstairs patio! Melanie was incredible, listening to our requests and always providing outstanding service with a bright smile and positive attitude. We will definitely be back and will ask for Melanie to serve us.

Eaten here several times but last night was one for the ages. The entire staff was so accommodating. My family of 5 had a late dinner reservation and did not felt rushed or a burden to the restaurant. Server was top notch and I’m mad I didn’t remember her name. We were constantly checked in but her and management. They had us below the restaurant and the kitchen is upstairs. So our server and another staff were going up and down bringing us food with a smile. Will be back soon. Thank you for the experience!

This was our 4th visit this year. Although very good, both crudos lacked the flavor of previous visits. Would love to see some more variety in the fish dishes in the future. Overall still one of our favorite places to eat and highly recommend.

Friendly staff, great food and drinks, a fresh menu, and a fun spot for dinner with a friend or date night. The only issue was the volume level of the music. It was so loud our server was having to shout to us.

This was a pricier restaurant than we normally go to for a birthday dinner, but it was worth every penny! 14 year old birthday boy asked for lobster this year. After researching lobster options in town, this was recommended and chosen. We asked for a seat that would wow him and were seated at one of the surfboard booths downstairs. Perfect! We ordered a whole lobster, a lobster roll, fish & chips, various raw oysters & and a burger. Everything was superb and worth it. Great experience. Wait staff, McKenzie and others were very attentive and friendly. Service was very fast. We couldn’t believe how quickly they got our food to us, granted our reservation was at 6pm. Kudos to BEETLECAT. 5 stars.

Gerard was our server and he was fantastic. We went early for the oyster happy hour and he kept us in fresh cold briny delight! Hostess was energetic and welcoming, the noise level was tolerable (nice to be able to have a conversation!) and the lobster roll was amazing (as always), French fries above average and the pork belly tidbits on top of the swordfish were a novel and tasty innovation. We love Beetlecat at 5:00!

The host was very nice and had a pleasant demeanor. Our waitress Whitney greeted us with a warm smile and good vibes. She recommended the Blue Crab Omelette. It was delicious. A great combination of flavors. Fresh and light. The Hawaiian Royal was very good too. Sweet but not too sweet. We had brunch here before we took a stroll on the Beltline. Whitney provided excellent customer service and care. I would definitely visit again.

Great birthday dinner with friends! When our waitress found out the dish i specifically came for was not on the menu anymore, she spoke to the chef about making something close. I said it was fine and ordered something else, but then we were surprised with the dish anyways! All of the food was great , but my favorite was the fried calamari and squid ink pasta (the surprise dish). Wonderful night overall.

My goodness that lobster roll has my heart. Its meaty and a good portion for the price and is comfortably filling. The bun is perfectly toasted on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. The Royal Hawaiian is a well balanced cocktail. I got it with dark rum instead of gin and it was delicious. I can’t recommend this spot enough.
