BeetleCat is easily becoming one of my favorite seafood restaurants. The service is impeccable and everything I try on the menu I enjoy. What's not pictured are the oysters which are always fresh and I've tried different entrées and these ones didn't disappoint. Admittedly, the lobster knuckles were tasty, but were a little work to eat but highly recommend the charcoal grill as they have different options and the sauce that comes with along with the lettuce wraps, gives it a nice crunch and finishing. The sticky toffee cake with the ice cream with scrumptious so make sure to leave room for dessert. They have an upstairs dining area as well as a downstairs area that also includes a bar. On the weekends there is also a DJ. Definitely a vibe. read more

I was so excited to come and try this chicken. I saw it on Instagram and assumed it would be so flavorful-- boy was I wrong. This meal lacked so much flavor and seasoning. The chicken was basically just coated in panko and had zero flavor. The only redeeming quality was the anchovies and caesar dressing-- but even those desperately needed citrus and seasoning. This was an extremely disappointing meal. The service was also just okay. I was meeting with friends for a catch up dinner and felt really rushed through my meal. Overall, won't be back. read more

BeetleCat - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Decor/Vibe - The upstairs portion of BettleCat features midcentury blue toned decor and a quieter atmosphere whereas the downstairs has a warmer look and livelier vibe. The DJ was also good! Drinks - Royal Hawiian. Substituted the gin for tequila. Enjoyed it! Old Fashioned - too sweet. Entrees - Spicy Shrimp Noodles. This dish couldn't make its mind. Is it ramen? Is it stir fry noodles with extra extra sauce? It was like ramen with heavier broth. The flavor was so concentrated that the first few bites were good, but then I was over it. Moqueca Stew - this dish was very good. A unique flavor profile. At first, it tastes familar, like a Thai curry sauce, however, the usual sweetness from coconut doesn't push through a lot. Instead, you taste jalepeno and cilantro. I like my food salty but it might have been a little too salty. Still, it was very good. Dessert - we ordered the chocolate cake. Ummm no they didn't do that to my chocolate cake. But I loved that we told our server, Alexander, and he swapped it out for the sticky toffee cake, which was wayyy better! Overall, I would go back to BettleCat. read more

Visited BeetleCat during Christmas. Sat outside since it was fully booked inside. The heaters kept it comfortable and the festive decor was nice. The food was good. I was excited to try the fry bread, it was fine but overhyped imo. I really enjoyed the mussels. Overall, 4/5. read more

BeetleCat is probably my favorite spot in Inman Park. Love the decor and atmosphere and how you can have your choice of experience with the more traditional restaurant at the main level or the 70s living room decor in the lower level. Of course, the food has been excellent across the board every time I've been. Always get the fry bread to start. It's just the perfect combination of sweet, salty, crunchy, and light. My favorites are the spicy shrimp noodles and the angry mussels, but almost everyone I know raves about the Moqueca stew. Pro tip: come for oyster happy hour and stay for dinner. read more

I am pretty sure I have made my last visit to this restaurant. The restaurant has been reported to have the best lobster rolls according to Maine's Down East Magazine. I am going to respectfully disagree that they have the best lobster rolls. I have dined at this restaurant on at least 3 different occasions. I am not really sure why I keep returning, because I never leave feeling as though I had a great dining experience. Let's start off with the good: The restaurant decor is always nice. During the holidays they even decorate the bottom area with festive decor. They have a. Nice patio too. The service has always been good ! The not so good: To start I hate coming to this area. Parking is always an issue. While you can find street parking, if you park in a garage you will be paying to park! The main area of concern is that the food is just ok to me. I have tried everything from brunch to the lobster rolls. Nothing has left me wanting it again! The lobster roll is just not the best. I am unable to pinpoint what is missing. It just does not do it for me. I am a huge fan of seafood. Unfortunately this spot does not come to mind when I think about the best seafood in the city . read more

My friends and I chose this place for our girls night out & it did not disappoint!!! The decor is so cute & would be great for a date night as well. Our server was wonderful! All of our food came out timely and everything I ordered was hands down 100/10! The Fry Bread was absolutely delicious, my kale salad was so fresh and flavorful & was big enough to share with the table. read more

I liked the ambiance of beetlecat and the wait staff was nice. The oysters we ordered though were not to our preference. We did enjoy the fry bread tho! Overall we might check out the holiday themed bar at beetlecat before it disappears or come back when the oysters are more fresh! It was probably just a hit or miss day which happens. read more

Yapped so much that I didn't get quality pics however let's just say the food was incredible and the staff members were amazing!! We had reservations and our table wasn't ready and they were very accommodating and gave us a glass of champagne on the house. Mallory was our server and she was attentive and we even witnessed her following up with the bar due to a long wait time for our drinks! We sat outside downstairs near the den for their Christmas pop up! The heaters were a great touch! The fry bread was delicious and the honey butter was chefs kiss. We also had the kale salad which was very fresh it had some sort of fruit in it and I'm not sure exactly what it was but was fantastic. We both ordered the spicy noodle shrimp and it was perfect for the chilly weather and the spices definitely opened up our sinuses!! read more

BeetleCat completely won me over. We grabbed seats at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by Devin, who was personable, warm, and clearly knows what he is doing behind the bar. He made some of the best drinks I have had in Atlanta, including a mezcal espresso martini that was unreal and a spicy margarita that was full of flavor. The food was just as impressive. The mussels were truly the best I have ever tasted, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The lobster and crab rolls were fresh, buttery, and satisfying. Everything tasted thoughtful and high quality. The energy of the space was great and the service could not have been better. This was such a memorable visit and I am already planning my return. read more

I WISH I remembered who my waiter was, he was great! He knew the menu through and through, made great recommendations and even took a video for us. The food here is better than I assumed, the only thing I wasn't a fan of is the size of the lobster roll for the price. I feel like you can get cheaper, larger lobster rolls elsewhere for the same quality. It was a good lobster roll though. We got 2 fry breads they were pretty dang delicious. There's street parking (if you can find it) & paid parking garages surrounding it. If you're walking the beltline you can find it as well it is right off the beltline by like a 2 minute walk. read more

My first visit to this location was during the holidays, when they had a Christmas-themed bar area in the den. It was an incredible experience--10 out of 10. The drinks, service, and music by the DJ were all perfect. It's definitely a great spot for drinks and good vibes. I visited the den about 6-7 times in December, and each time was fantastic. What they put together for next Christmas is something you shouldn't miss--absolutely worth it. 10 out of 10 recommendation. Regarding the food at Beetle Cat, I would say it wasn't my favorite, though I loved the oysters--the baked and raw oysters are absolutely fantastic. They have become my go-to for oysters. I ordered the fish and chips, but the fish sandwich lacked flavor, seasoning, and overall cohesion. It's a nice piece of fish on a toasted, buttery bun, but it needs something more to tie it together--I felt it was missing that extra something. Some menu tweaks could improve it. I wanted to try a few other dishes, but many were sold out. My boyfriend ordered the lobster roll; while it wasn't his favorite, he didn't dislike it--he'd rate it 7 out of 10. Now, our server was different. I didn't feel like she wanted to be at work. I didn't feel like she even wanted to serve us, but I don't tend to take things personally, so I'm just gonna chalk it up to her being tired and probably having worked all day. But we didn't get a vibe that she wanted to serve us, mainly because we heard her when she was conversing with the hostess, saying she didn't want to. As I said, I don't wanna make it a personal thing or say we had anything to do with it, but we saw it in her behavior, and she wasn't attentive. She did not come back. She did not refill our drinks or ask if we wanted a second adult beverage. It was very underwhelming. As for parking, the area tends to be busy. If you can find street parking or get into a garage during less hectic times, I recommend doing so. read more

I'm from charlotte and every chance I get, I make it a mission to come to beetlecat and order the bread (folk bread). I absolutely don't know the name of it but I know what I'm getting lol. Last night I met Koa and he was overall amazing and he made me feel so welcome. And as always the place look so beautiful especially at night. I will be back that's for always having great host read more

This place has been on my list for quite some time and I was finally able to try it. Located in Inman Park, it a high traffic area of restaurants and this place in centrally located and has parking either on the street or there are parking garages nearby. Walked in and there wasn't any seating available at the time, other than at the oyster bar. We sat there and was greeted by our waitress Aleeza! She was attentive and thorough with explaining certain items on the menu. We had baked oysters and this fried bread which was delicious oh my gosh! I will be getting that again. Also we ordered drinks (try the Tokyo Drift!). The lobster roll is what I ordered and instead of it being on a roll, it was on a hamburger bun; still good though, but a bit overpriced. It was initially crowded when we arrived, but overtime, the calm began and everyone would drift to the downstairs area. Nice vibes and great space. read more

Doughnut brunch? Really? I was skeptical. I was wrong. Excellent brunch. Between us we had a spicy chicken sandwich on doughnut, crab omelette, double-cheeseburger, and a round of doughnuts (BeetleCat recipe and made there). Each was perfect in its own way. Honestly, no one was disappointed in any way. Oh, and the coffee was great! A local roaster, I don't remember which. Excellent. This place managed to feel both fun and fancy at the same time. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and this was a great way to do it. Services was also great. All-around an excellent experience. I hear it's known as a dinner place, but the weekend brunch was worth stopping in for. read more

Great holiday pop up, they have till the 31st which is so nice. My husband loves these pop ups and I bought him here for a pre birthday celebration. We found seats at the bar pretty quick and ordered the peppermint polar express and my husband got the gingerbread old fashion, both of us loved our drinks and the vibes. Our bartender was amazing and I even ran into a friend and she said she always comes here for the drinks and it was so nice to catch up with her. Def worth a visit read more

The service here was amazing and friendly! Our server and even the host were very helpful. We got a dozen oysters, a cheeseburger and the lobster roll. We definitely came here wanting seafood but didn't check the menu beforehand cause e came during their brunch time. But glad we were still able to get a lobster roll. The cheeseburger was definitely flavorful and juicy but I will say it was just a little too salty for my liking. I also enjoyed the lobster roll but unlike the burger the lobster roll could've been flavored a little more, I think more butter on the buns would do it justice. The lobster meat was juicy and fresh! I also really enjoyed the chips that came with it. Super light and crunchy. The oysters were also so so fresh and good. Overall would love to come back to try their seafood menu! read more

Dined in on a Friday night for a casual cousin meet-up. We were able to make reservations easily online. Upon arrival, the host kindly accommodated a last-minute increase in our party size without any issues. The service was attentive, and the teamwork among the staff was especially noticeable. I ordered the baked oysters, lobster roll, and fries. I had zero complaints about the food--everything was delicious. Although the fries didn't come with the lobster roll by default, I was able to order them on the side. I also appreciated that they offered the lobster roll warm, as it's typically served cold. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely return to try other items on the menu. read more

Came for lunch at opening on a Saturday. Nice décor and enjoyed outside seating. Parking was kind of hard, and food is a bit pricey. Although it was delicious, I don't think the lobster roll was worth the price, it was so smalI. The homemade fried Potato Chips were excellent, and the crab omelet was well worth it! The Bloody Mary and donuts were also excellent! They also provided great customer service. read more

The food was good. I loved the snapper crudo and we also got the lump crab which was also really good. Oysters are always a fan favorite however we were upset they took the salt and pepper squid off the menu. The spiney lobster had a Smokey taste and was really good. I was not a huge fan of the lobster roll. The lobster roll is not like how it used to be as they use less meat and more butter and it takes away from the lobster taste. The service was great and our server made some pretty good recommendations. read more

Great ambiance and friendly service! Came in as a pair on a Saturday night with a reservation and were immediately seated. I LOVE raw oysters and lobster rolls so they were immediately on our list of orders. They have a printed list of all their oyster varieties and you write in the number of each oyster with a provided pencil. I ordered a half dozen and picked completely different types so I could try different ones. We also ordered a kale salad and side of fries to share. The oysters came out quickly and were served with a mignonette, cocktail sauce, and horseradish. I like to taste every bit of the oyster so I'm a mignonette kind of girl but always appreciate options. I do wish someone would have explained which oyster was which but I'm not too bothered because I probably wouldn't have remembered it anyway. Kale salad was delicious! The strawberries were sweet and it had just the right amount of dressing. The fries are also a sleeper hit! Rustic cut potatoes fried really crispy. So good! Definitely order these! Now the lobster roll... "Roll" is a generous term. I'm accustomed to lobster rolls served in long brioche rolls (similar in shape and size to a hot dog bun). They serve theirs on a small burger bun. Yes, a small burger bun. While I can respect the simplicity of limited ingredients,, I learned I actually prefer when there are other ingredients in my lobster mix. Also, this was $38! This was probably the most expensive lobster roll I'd ever ordered so I expected it to be better than average. I'm not mad; I'm just disappointed. I wouldn't order this again. To end on a positive, the Mocha Crunch Cake is every bit as yummy as its description. It's large enough to share between two and it's rich, chocolatey, and has crunch balls for a nice change in texture. I want to come back for $1 oysters during happy hour! Also, they have a bathroom near the host stand. Don't do what I did and go down the stairs to the right of the kitchen and use the restroom in a different restaurant read more

My friends and I stopped by BeetleCat for drinks, and the experience was fantastic! The ambiance is super chill with a cool '70s vibe, making it a great spot to unwind. I ordered the Jetski Incident, which was delicious--well-balanced and flavorful. The open seating was comfortable, though most of the tables seemed reserved, so it's something to keep in mind if you're planning to dine. One random but slightly annoying detail was that the door leading into "The Den" didn't have a doorknob inside, which meant cold air rushed in every time someone walked through and the door took forever to close--definitely noticeable on a chilly night! While I only came for drinks, the food looked great, and I'll definitely be back to try the menu. If you're looking for a great atmosphere and well-crafted cocktails, BeetleCat is a solid choice! read more

This is my second visit to Beetlecat and it was the same awesome experience as my first time. This time I decided to try something different on their menu. I ordered smoked salmon, avocados, fries, and a donut for dessert. The restaurant is nice and spacious plenty of sitting areas. They were only serving brunch but we were able to order a few items not listed on the brunch menu like the kale salad and the fries. Our waiter was awesome and funny. We kept each other cracking up ...I also ordered an alcoholic beverage and everything was really good. I heard the lobster roll was good and the burger is good. If you like seafood definitely try the crab omelette it's amazing! I spent around $60/$70 total including gratuity. I will definitely be back again but for dinner. Check out my video and until next time SYOY! read more

Quality of food at Beetlecat has gone waaayyy down. Too bad, given how pricey it is. The Mocqueca (sp?) stew is not good anymore- oysters were only passable. I used to love the stew. I guess with prices spiking for everything, restaurants are having to cut the quality of their ingredients. Still, it cant be consumers who suffer if businesses want to stay popular. read more

Review from a visit end of July that I have been putting off. Came here with a friend who had been here before. Maybe we were imagining things but it felt like the waitress wasn't really interested in serving us but could be that she was just lost in her thoughts. Regardless, the food was ok. The oysters were pretty good. The hamachi was refreshing and light. The mussels were fine but a little on the salty side. I usually like to drink the sauce it comes in because it's so flavorful but this one was just too salty to have on its own. Overall, had a fine time, but probably not a must-go for me. read more
