Overall, everything was good and the service was excellent. Pizza was decent but the lasagna had a weird flavor from whatever cheese they used. There was ricotta cheese in it but something else that didn't taste like traditional Italian lasagna. Would go back again but because of the high prices, we won't go often.

Best things on the menu are anything with the locally caught rockfish. I had the fish tacos (see photo), but the fish & chips was the real winner.

Service was great, outdoor seating under the sunsail was great, what's not to like?

Best thin crust tavern style pizza we've had in a long time, in a very unexpected location…read more My wife, her mom, and I had just crossed the Oregon-California border into Oregon and used the nearby Dollar Tree in Brookings to be our end point on our fourth day Internet access had been spotty throughout our trip through Big Sur and then Redwood parks, so used a combination of Google maps and Yelp to find nearby businesses, just for fun. Fat Cat showed up with high ratings. None of us were particularly hungry, but their ratings for thin-crust pizza piqued my interest, so we adjusted our plans and walked in. There was one employee (Ian) working on this mid afternoon time on hump day, so had to get his attention while he was working in the back. You place and pay for your order first, so ordered a medium thin crust pineapple/ham ($15). Not knowing what to expect, I asked if the pizza crust could be made well done. We sat down at the fast food booths, and didn't have to wait long. When the pizza came, all of us knew immediately by the sight and smell that it was going to be great. The crust was the perfect thinness, and the toppings were generous. Our plan was to sample some of it and then take the rest back, but the three of us ended eating every single piece. It was that good. We learned a bit more about the business from Ian. It used to be a franchise pizza joint, but the owner decided to stop being a franchisee, and create a local name. 'Gato Gordo' was thrown out as an early name, with the final name being chosen as the winner from an early Christmas party secret Santa gift. The pizza crust is consistently made by a dough sheeter at a low thinness setting. This might be sacrilegious, but I think I prefer this way vs the hand tossed NY style that is way more prevalent (and way more expensive).

When I asked the bartender about it, he explained that the area was also close to the games. It made getting a drink awkward. When I ordered a pizza and salad, the cashier set a plate in front of me that was filthy. He noticed and said he needed to have a conversation with the dishwasher. I worked at Pizza Hut decades ago, and I remember picking up a stack of plates only to find a dirty one mixed in, so I couldn't really fault him. Still, it was off-putting. Most of the seating is communal, with only a couple of tables for two. I kept trying to make sense of the place: an adult Chuck E. Cheese? The pizza was OK, but overall, I wished we'd skipped it.

Hubby ordered fish and chips and popcorn shrimp. I ordered the breadbowl. Hubby said his food was amazing. My chowder in the breadbowl was also delicious. The bread was toasted just right- the potatoes inside the chowder were diced so it felt they kinda melted in your mouth. The clams were really delicious too! Service is hard for me to gauge but honestly I think it's pretty good since they packed everything with care! Ambience I can't answer but I will have to visit this place before we head out to SoCal!

Just your classic market store serving gas station snacks and drinks with a deli. They have a ton of sandwich options both hot and cold. We settled on the Walk of Shame and the Cheesesteak. I really enjoyed my sandwich (walk of shame). The sweet pickles were a good choice to balance some of the heat. Pastrami and bread were great. My husband said he was let down by the cheesesteak. The meat itself was good but the veggies were a little undercooked and he said it was lacking cheese. Each sandwich comes with a fountain drink and chips.

I must say sauteed mushrooms in a veggie burrito is a bit of a game changer. I'll have to do this at home. The sauce was really bland.
