HopCat Kalamazoo 07/07/2025

 We were in Kalamazoo Michigan for the Wallflowers concert at the Bells Brewery back in July. Like usual, I'm looking for local burger action. Our journey landed up in the historical Stuart Area neighborhood. Beautiful homes from the turn of the century. Downtown was a short walk from our place. On our quest to find a decent meal from a local eatery we stumbled into the HopCat. They showed up on an internet search. It was suggested that they have great beer and great burgers.

The place was pretty packed considering how large the building is. The inside is decorated with cool painting (prints) of famous musicians. The vibe is rustic meets hipster. We grabbed a window seat. My wife ordered a Big Lake MI Amber and BBQ Chicken Cobb salad. Me, a  Starry with a BYO Double Smash Burger. I'm writing this on a bit of a delay but the burger was definitely worth blogging about. Service was decent considering how busy they were. The food was very good. (salad, beer etc) I've attache d a picture of the burger. You can be the judge based on the image. It's dang good looking.

Rate It:

I won't rate it but I will say I enjoyed it and thought the price ($12.75) was pretty reasonable for what I got. I'd say it's worth a try.
