Really solid pub style food. The Redding Burger was one of the best burgers I've had in a while; daughter proclaimed the fish & chips merely decent. Service is a bit haphazard but friendly; prices are quite reasonable. Atmosphere is somewhat "generic" pub like, but certainly fine. Will go again when in the area. read more

Staff very pleasant and service very good. Wine good. Setting pleasant too. Burger and nachos disappointing. Ordered medium rare burger arrived rare. When I eat bar food I want it to be worth the calories. Will not be returning. Suggest they upgrade the quality of the food. Wish them the best. read more

Margs are from a mix. It's a basic cocktail that should be made by the bartender. At the very least, pre-batch some. Food was meh. Service was great and very friendly. read more

Black Cat Grill was a hit from its wide menu variety and large portion sizes. Convenient location off of route 7 in Georgetown. I wished there was more asparagus as advertised on the description of the menu salad. Service was attentive and staff were friendly. read more

Very diverse menu. Had mussels and pastrami Reuben. Others had French onion soup, Caesar salad, wedge salad, burgers etc. Very friendly waitress who had all the lines! read more

We went to the new location in Ridgefield, where the little pub used to be. The food was awful. my son ordered a hamburger medium rare. It came well. I ordered seafood with pasta. It was tasteless and the muscles made me nauseous. Just the smell on their own. I didn't eat the food. My other son ordered pasta Bolognese. He also didn't eat it. It was just not good. My husband ordered the roast beef sandwich. He said it was fair. He didn't finish his meal. The meal was so bad. I said let's just pay the bill and we'll go somewhere else. read more

Cozy atmosphere with kindly servers. A good hearty burger. Fish and Chips are prob best thing on menu though haven't tried it all. Fries are excellent if you like the double fried wrinkly fingery versions (I do). Please do poutine as these are the Quebec style fries perfect for Poutine. Drinks flow fast and often with a good selection on tap. Really wanted to like the wings but my hung for best wings is illusive in CT. Onward! read more

The Black Cat is our go-to restaurant. Great food, Wonderful staff and lovely bright new premises. It can't be beat.

I have been to their Georgetown location. Excellent burgers, cooked just right. The beer was excellent too Returned a second time with a group of AMC hikers, again everyone enjoyed the food, ambience and the beer Service was very good Looking forward to going to their Route 7 location soon read more

Our ladies lunch group ate at Black Cat Grill on Thursday. What a welcome respite from a dark and dreary day. The wall of windows in the dining room was so cheerful. Susan , our waitress, asked if we wanted separate checks even before we had to request it. The menu has something for everyone. My burger was medium rare just as ordered and hot off the grill. One of the gals has some dietary restrictions and her order was modified to suit that. No problem ! Our group will certainly be back! Good food, good service at reasonable prices makes Black Cat Grill a very good choice. read more

Arrived on a Friday evening to a lively dining and bar scene. Bright warm pub feel with good service. Good selection of beers and attentive bartender. The other couple we were meeting were late in arriving and the manager juggled the seating and we were given a table shortly after they arrived. Wait staff were prompt and our food came out fairly quickly. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the portions were nicely sized. Food came to the table hot and well plated. It was a very nice dining experience . Despite the full room the noise level was fine and it was easy to chat at our table for four. I would not hesitate to recommend Black Cat Grille.It is a great addition to the Ridgefield dining scene. read more

Overall fun experience. We ate outside which was super nice and pleasant. The ambiance is nice outside. The inside is pretty dark for daytime eating, but at night the bar scene opens up a bit more and it's a nice little area. There are plenty of decorations and it's a nice old fashion wooden bar. The service is good, people are really nice. Food is good but a bit greasy for my taste. It tasted great, but I could definitely feel the grease and sodium. Not all meals are like that though, so overall food was good. Prices are on the high end of average, but still not completely breaking the bank. I'd come back, it's a nice place! read more

First visit after a shopping by spree at the Danbury Fair Mall en route to Norwalk on a sunny Saturday. We took a chance and..."I remember when..." this was the OG Little Pub! Ambiance is cool. Lots of natural light and cool bar and seating area. The corner booths look like fun for a larger party in the restaurant side of things. Simple menu: pub food but good stuff. The BLT with avocado was super tasty and the hand cut fries were crispy and delish. Nice menu of beers on tap and cocktail options were plentiful. Service: meh. Lovely servers but not super-attentive to most of the customer, not just us (party of two) but others as well. Maybe they're working on things. Again, super friendly and lovely, just not speedy, despite plenty of staff milling around. Prices are good, fair for the pub-like offerings and simple menu. Under $40 for two sandwiches and non-alcoholic drinks. The place is great for families, couples and happy hour crews. The bar seating area holds ten, but the high tops nearby would be great overflow too. Three tv's with sports is nice as well. We'd come again! Love the black cat theme and themed gems around the place. I bet kiddos would have fun on a black cat treasure hunt: just how many can YOU find. No bad luck meal here! read more

Service is wonderful, food is disgusting. Rubber calamari, wings that taste boiled. How anyone could rate the food good is a mystery to me. Not my kind of food. I'd rather not eat. read more

Excellent food and great dining experience. Love the atmosphere and casual relaxed vibe!

Black Cat Grille is a local favorite. We come on Sunday's, and the place is packed with locales. You'll find families, kids, and friends gathering here. The menu has a good selection of food. The portions are large and you get a bang for your buck. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Recommend for lunch or dinner. They have a bar with two large tv's to watch your Sunday football. read more

I like the former place much better. Very noisy here. Ordered my burger medium, and it was well done.

Went here a couple weeks ago because I wanted something to eat and honestly the food is good. It's not the best of all time but its just good I had the pasta and a brownie fudge sundae, and to start off the pasta is good, but it can be a little salty, but the brownie fudge sundae was AMAZING and they have really good desserts, so check that out if you decide to go there, but one thing I would change about the restaurant itself is that the tables are a little bit rocky, and they keep going back-and-forth but overall the food was great and my server was amazing props to Matt. read more

BBB. to slow we waited an hour and never got our food.

Food price / quality (value) rating 8. I had the Rachel sandwich, where the menu stated that it came loaded with sauerkraut. I don't think there was any sauerkraut on it. Although the Moscow Mules we had were excellent, I thought $11 was just a little (little) bit steeply priced. The service was very inattentive, and we had to "search" for our waitress every time we needed something. read more

Food is great, either take out or dinning in. Really enjoy the sandwiches and French fries.

So we tried this place in Georgetown, having driven by it earlier today. They're part of a Yelp program that rebates 6%, which I just subscribed to. One guest asked if we could eat inside, which was ok with everybody. It's was a bit dark inside, in keeping with the Black Cat theme I guess. We decided to start with a drink. Prosecco for two and lemonade for the third. Nice on a hot summer evening! We ordered a salad with tuna, walnuts, lettuce and tomatoes. Turkey club and a veggie burger. The place outside had a nice crowd only another couple inside. It took a while for the food to arrive but it was good. We couldn't finish the salad with the tuna, so we asked for a doggie bag. The waiter obliged and we headed home One fly in the ointment, there was no left over tuna in the take home container!! My guest asked "are they serving that to someone else???" Ugh if they are?! read more

You know I wasn't gonna write this I understand that businesses are really impacted by negative reviews but I feel like my story is worth sharing. My girlfriend and I are new to the area, and over the last holiday season we're given a gift card to the black cat grill. We were looking for something to do figured let's try it out. I called ahead of time to ask if it was customary to have a reservation and brought up the gift card. Was told no reservation was fine, and the gift card no matter what the age will be honored! Our waitress was so sweet, very attentive to our table, the food was delicious. But then the manager, bar tender? Owner?? Not sure. Apparently when I handed our waitress the gift card to pay for a small portion of the meal I was immediately questioned by this person. Apparently it was written over? The price was changed? All I know was that the gift card was given to me by a family member who is not going to ever use it. I was questioned like a criminal. Entire situation was uncomfortable and unnecessary. Disappointing the food was great our server was amazing! Bartender or whoever she was ruined everything for us! Our friends and I will not be going back there! read more

I'm sad to say that I will never go to the Black Cat Grille again. A group of us, 65 and over friends would meet once a month and we have been going there for about a year or more and never had a problem. When they moved to their new location a week ago it seems that they left their manors at the old place. When we got there at 4 pm they tried to put us at a table that would only hold 6 people, when 10 or 11 people showed up they moved us to a different room which was fine, plenty of room for all. At 6 pm they told us we had to leave; I spoke to the owner and asked him to sit down and talk to me, I thought we could work something out. He said and I quote "I don't have time to talk to you" When I protested about the way we were being treated he said and again I quote "I'm prepared to call the police if you don't leave" At that point there was nothing to gain by trying to somehow smooth it out so we left. I will not tolerate a person in authority making me feel like I'm not good enough to be his customer. So just be aware that this is the type of person you will be giving your hard-earned money to. Believe me, there are better places to go. read more

Have been several times to Black Cat, and every time is very good. Pros: Beer selection is very wide, food is always excellent. Meh: Service is up and down. I've never had a server know what is on the rotating taps. This is good (huge and changing selection) but frustrating. I don't understand why they can't print out that week's selection. On one visit even the host and the bar tender didn't know the beers. I've had one dinner where I couldn't find a beer to drink and just had water. Cons: Small inside and very loud, we made the mistake of bringing our parents. They couldn't hear a thing we said all night. read more

Great for a burger and beer. Their salads are good too. Small town ambiance. Friendly staff.

Great place to get a bite to eat or have a drink with a friend. The burgers are a hit. Loved it so much. I got a job here. ‍

Food was great. The burger was delicious and cooked perfectly. The beer on tap was also great. The server was nice until you ask for something particular - she belongs in a diner, not a bar/grill, but it was still a really good experience. read more

Im gonna go back and try again, as it seems promising. My only beef at lunch was that service was very spotty. One person doing everything. Sloooow to even get a beer while waiting. On the plus side, the grilled chicken they put on the salad was maybe the best i have had. Nicely spiced. My friend had some huge rueben or Rachel it might ne called. Said it was very good. Fries were well done. Work on the speed. read more

Every time we come here it's great! Always excellent service, friendly and the food is consistently amazing and delicious!! Love it here and it's becoming a regular place for us. read more

Popped in for a quick bite with some friends and their kids and left feeling full but not satisfied. Its has the small neighborhood bar and grill feel and has a decent variety of food options. The qualify of the food was got was what drove the 3 stars as it was ok, but no one in our group was blown away by any means. I honestly don't think there was one stand out item out of the bunch. If you want an ok meal that isn't too pricey perhaps this is the spot for you. read more

Not for vegetarian diabetics. I know! It's a small group of us. I just wish that all places that offer a veggie burger would stop making their own u less they are famous for them. Just switch to Beyond Meat. Everyone loves those burgers. I asked what was in their burger and he said vegetables. And beans. Ok. I'll see. Nope. It as beans and bulger or rice or some type of carb. So basically all carbs. I can't eat that. Lunch was a bust for me. Husband liked his burger. read more

Called the restaurant 4 times the same day and nobody picked up. So we had to show up a half an hour early to make a reservation for later that evening. When we arrived it was practically empty. Staff there were mostly friendly . Food was tasty but they were disorganized and forgot my main course. I would go back but hope some improvements can be made. read more

I got a steak that was tough and chewy that was probably frozen on a Monday a while back. Could have just said we're out of steaks and i'd order something else. I had a steak here before that was nice. Also the Calamari is typical that'd you'd order from a crappy pizza place; frozen and soggy. Staff is nice. Restaurant is nice. read more
