Fat Cats - Herkimer (NY)

5 /5 Kenneth Baker: A local dive that offers the most amazing seafood, ever. I ordered the Fried Scallops, which were very lightly breaded, and cooked to perfection. Tender and moist, and OH the flavor. Best Ive had in many decades. My wife had the Fish and Chips, which were also cooked perfectly. Price was extremely reasonable, staff and servers were super friendly It was obvious from the steady, heavy, traffic both in the dining room, as well as the take out counter, that this is a local treasure.

2 /5 MVRenovations: This place has been around for a long time. I hadnt had it in a very long time so decided to try it. I know why its been a long time since Ive ordered the food. It was not very good to say the least. The fish fry was small and flat with little to no flavor. The rest was par at beat

3 /5 DeAndre Walters: Figured I’d give Fat Cats a try haven’t had anything from here in a long time. Usually you expect the food from a place like this to hit just right - didn’t for me. Don’t get me wrong wonderful people, nice at the counter and everything. However my Fish and Chips - The fish itself was super bland, fish had no seasoning and was dry. Fries were Fries, over salted but ok. The Shrimp - Shrimp wasn’t even peeled. Also super bland. I’m biting into it and chewing and tasting bits of the shrimp skin. So awesome. Appreciate the effort but some seasoning, and de-skinning the shrimp would’ve been awesome

5 /5 Loretta Howard: Best fish fry and food prices!! I can buy bulk meats and save time and money. Love to get fish fry here also and scallops. Great service

4 /5 Austin Caldwell: Friendly staff and prompt service. Fish dinner was very good and a generous portion for the price. Definitely a place loved by locals. Dont let the worn down exterior fool you.
