BEARCAT CAFE UPTOWN

Words can not explain how delicious the scallops and grits were. Plus their extensive list of teas to choose from made my day. The iced fuji apple oolong tea was so delicious. Edwin was also quick and attentive / gave great service amidst a slammed restaurant. Must go. So delicious. 10 out of 10. Wow!

Extraordinary food! I got the steak and eggs 21 day dry aged. Apart from the food, Hayley B was an a amazing server and not to mention super cute! Very calm, attentive - loved her vibes.

I'm already hooked and can't wait to come back! The food here is incredible, and the presentation is truly outstanding. It looks as good as it tastes! I played it safe with a light dish for my first visit, but I wasn't disappointed. I'm so glad I took the plunge and gave this place a try. My friend's recommendation was spot on! With so many delicious options on the menu, I'm excited to try a little bit of everything next time. Definitely give it a shot. You won't regret it!

Best cheese grits I’ve ever had. Excellent service. Great coffee. Amazing menu. Would recommend the steak quesadilla, tomato sandwich, and crab claws.

Hubs and I stopped here and had breakfast on our way back home to GA, and the food was delicious! We had the shrimp & grits, and the brisket hash **chef's kiss** Oh my! Will definitely be stopping here again the next time we visit.

Food is always great. We come here every time we visit New Orleans

We LOVE Bearcat. Come here as often as we can. HOWEVER, today, my husband's bison sausage was served severely undercooked. It was COLD and RED inside. He told our server to please let the kitchen know. The kitchen's response was to tell us "next time you return, know that we serve our sausage medium" - as though what we got was normal. Medium is not cold and red. We weren't expecting the meal to be comped - though that would be the typical response-- but it's frankly insulting that they doubled down on it. He orders the same thing every time because the food here is usually delicious. We know that mistakes happen. But do NOT insult our intelligence by gaslighting us. Absolutely unacceptable! Wish we would have taken a picture. But we weren't trying to be jerks. We tried to give them helpful feedback. So disappointing.

The food was good, but it was a bit crazy expensive for breakfast. We had 2 tables and each bill was $200+/each due to 20% gratuity and 3% employee care fund, which doesn't include the taxes. Staff was attentive, but missed details like miscounting utensils and giving a small box for taking pancake to go; I had to cut my pancake into pieces to fit them in. Fresh squeezed orange juice was $8. I rather eat at a steak place at this point. Next!

Tried this place after it being raved on TikTok just to be disappointed. Flavor of the food was on level of “just gotta eat something to get through the day”. What annoyed me was the automatic 18% employee gratuity and extra tack on fees that didn’t make sense. Other people in this review section have also mentioned this issue, our total cost before extra tack ons was $70 and after the restaurants extra and unnecessary fees it came out to be $110 for 2 people eating. Service was good and our server was very nice and attentive. We were already planning on leaving our server a good tip until we read on our receipt that 18% was already charged as a tip without us choosing it.

This is by far the absolute best brunch spot! Service was amazing buuuut the food!!!! OMG so good I want to give it 10 stars💛👏🏽 First come first serve so get there early, they are very popular🥳🥳🥳🥳
