HOPCAT REVIEWS

Kaitlyn was amazing! She gave great suggestions to our table for beers! I had loaded cosmic (crack) fries and a side of killer Mac, and as you can see I ate it ALL. Delicious. Also had a “meowgarita” with a sugar rum to sip. A great afternoon out with friends with a great server. Thanks for a great time.

My wife and I had a trip to Ann Arbor and found this amazing place… one we love cats… two Lauren was awesome and recommended amazing food and drinks. The Hangover Helper is the bomb! Lauren we will see you again! Thank you Hopcat and Lauren for and awesome lunch date with my wife.

Fantastic food! My wife and I had an app sampler that had the best parm garlic wings I have had. I had a breakfast burrito and my wife had a nashville hot chicken sandwich. The fries were seasoned. Definite stop in you are in Ann arbor. Grace was our server and she was great.

BUFFALO WILD WINGS ANN ARBOR REVIEWS

I stopped in to grab lunch since I was hungry and ordered six bone-in wings, fries, and a Dr. Pepper. Thankfully, I made it just in time before the lunch special ended. From now on, I’ll order in person because my food isn’t as hot when I use the app. The young ladies at the front registers were very nice, and the wait wasn’t too long.

They have the wings! And sports! Come here if you wanna watch sports and eat delicious wings. You already know that. They got every flavor of wings you could desire. They got more TVs than best buy. You can watch sports and eat wings and play pool and do arcade games. Heaven on Earth but you already know.

Place was busy! Our waitress was fast and efficient. Place was clean but a little dark and hard to see the menu. Great service and food.

THE BROWN JUG RESTAURANT REVIEWS

I'm pretty sure my mom and uncle hung out here in the 50s. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the vibe in the place was chill and relaxing. This place opened in the 30s and it has the feel of history but it's clean and tidy. We watched some March Madness, enjoyed cocktails, and tried the sweet potato fries which were delightfully lightly crispy, especially when they arrived hot out of the fryer. Check out the story of the football rivalry and the brown jug trophy if you don't know it. It's on the drink menu. Go Blue.

This is, of course, an iconic place for any of us Michigan grads. I haven’t been there in years but we stopped by when we were in town for lunch. Very nice to see it uncrowned as when I normally go there it is on a football weekend when it is packed. Who knew that Steve Breaston was a fan of pulled pork and that Bo’s burger was with fried onions on sourdough rye bread. Very nice lunch spot and great stuff on the walls.

Good service great guy at the door for security on Friday August 30th. Me my brother and best friend came up from Pittsburgh for the game against Fresno state. The place was awesome it is a must go to if you are in Ann Arbor and especially a Wolverine life long fan. Thank you for make a good pre game night a great pre game night. Who ever was the security guy I didn't get your name dam glad to have met you we will be back. GO BLUE.
