    My brother and I ordered the chicken and waffles for brunch, and after 20 minutes of waiting for our food, we were then notified that you ran out of that meal…Why it took 20 minutes to know you were going to be out confuses me. Also, it appears why we we’re waiting for our 2nd choice for our meal, my wife’s hash meal sat in the window and became overcooked as the hash was very dry and the eggs were overdone. We did not complain at the time because we had already waited for a bit to get our food. For a famous brunch offer of chicken and waffles to run out at 12:30p when you’re only opened from 10a-3p also confuses me… We might come back as the service was good and atmosphere is amazing. I’d say we’d have to be certain that we’d get the chicken and waffles to ensure of our next visit.

    Disappointed with the overall experience tonight. Asked for a different table away from the band, they accommodated us but it seemed to be an inconvenience. Food was below avg, potatoes were very bland, asparagus was terrible (dry and over grilled), waited over 30 min for desert. Service was ok, but expected better for the money spent.

    Perfect evening; the food was scrumptious, the music, mood and atmosphere were all perfect, even the individual entertainer was genuine and so enjoyable! What a great way to wind up the year. We are still smiling and, look forward to 2025’s New Year Eve dinner. In the meantime, we will continue to frequent 3 Cats Restaurant throughout the year. Our go-to restaurant.
