Continued phenomenal dining service and entrees. Central is my go-to whenever I travel back home to visit. I’m always greeted with a warm welcome from the bartenders and management.

Great place, my daughter and I was most impressed with the non-alcoholic menu, most restaurants do not have that option a plus in our book. We will be returning. I live in Oak Park so this is a nice place to go to that's close. Not to mention free parking.

We were inside because it was hot, so there was very little noise. Everything was lovely. Our server, Nancy, was delightful and added to the fun of our evening. The food, of course, was outstanding. Thank you to all involved.

We always enjoy coming here especially for our special occasions. Yesterday the food was great and the service was amazing. Stan the Man our hibachi cook was excellent. The food was amazing thank you so much Stan as always we will be coming back. It would be nice to get every once in a while some coupons to get discounts because it can get expensive when going out just to help out every once in a while would be nice. But I always would recommend for everyone to come here because it’s very good, we go to the Clawson restaurant! Thank you!

Ann Arbor

About the restaurant

We've created a funky environment filled with unique art that pays homage to the city's more psychedelic side. It's completely different from the other HopCat locations -- big enough, but with an intimate vibe. With a small sidewalk patio, we’re located around the corner from the Michigan Theater, Hill Auditorium, State Theatre, Rackham Auditorium, and University of Michigan’s full campus.

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 wide 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.
