    Good spot! They have a nice outdoor seating area in their parking lot, perfect for people watching. Our server was very friendly, food was good, drinks were DELICIOUS (I got the tahoe mojito) There's something on the menu for everyone! Definitely recommend for a casual dinner or lunch if you're in Tahoe City.

    Best experience ever from the moment I walked in I knew this would be the place. All my friends were happily seated and blessed by a very nice waitress and I really enjoyed all the food. Thank you the fat cat for giving us a good experience

    I read a review recently for a restaurant Tahoe City that said something along the lines of "typical Tahoe restaurant mediocrity." This resonated with me since my family and I have been frequenting Tahoe for a few years now and are always on the hunt for good food. Sadly, most of the restaurants along the lake are just "okay." We're newer to the Tahoe City side so we were looking for places to eat during the 4th of July holiday. We had our dogs with us so this was very important to find an outdoor restaurant with good food. Fat Cat Bar and Grill was walking distance to our hotel so we decided to try. They have an indoor area as well as a few outdoor tables. It was crowded around 6pm for dinner on a holiday weekend but we were seated within 10 minutes. We snapped a few pictures with the dogs at the bear statues across the street in the meantime. Food is pricey for what it is. -1 star for that. However, the food was pretty damn good. Definitely not in the "mediocre Tahoe restaurant" category. We ordered a burger (I honestly forget which one but it had blue cheese in it), a salad (the one with apples.. nuts.. balsamic dressing and gouda), and a mac and cheese and chicken tenders for my son. Going on vacation is the worst since I usually end up eating like crap so the salad was super refreshing. The burger came with onion rings and we also ordered the parmesan fries. Def over-ordered but we wanted to try those items. Everything was pretty tasty, even the chicken tenders and mac and cheese for my son. Other than the restaurant being pretty good I just was kind of turned off by the fact that 2 chicken strips and like a cup of fries for my son was 12 bucks.. Not sure if we'll be back due to the pricing, and I was hungover from my own 4th of July bad decisions so maybe we'll come back for drinks one day. Other than that, good for a bar, but a bit pricey for what it is.

    All went well, great ambiance, service & wonderful food! Friday's they serve Frisky Kitties as a specialty drink....It's such a fun atmosphere & the Cheesesteak sandwich is the best! Thank you!
