    Stopped in on a Halloween themed burger Monday. Sat at the bar. Got the Halloween burger and a Strawberry Mule. I was able to add bacon so I like that they’re not too strict on modifications. Took a minute to get food order in but it came out pretty fast. Bartender was super nice and gave great educated drink recommendations. Can’t wait to try more menu items!

    I had the Avo Chicken. Really good good and the coffee was strong. So many places water down their coffee but it was great. I’ll definitely be back.

    Bobcat Bonnie’s is a great brunch choice in Detroit. They have a creative menu that includes great vegan options. The drinks are clever and the cereal shooter flight is a really fun experience. They offer great indoor/outdoor seating options and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Minus one star for the first table we sat at - there was quite a bit of food on the floor from the last group. We moved outside which was much better, except for some loud music played from a glitchy Bluetooth speaker. Could’ve done without that. Overall a positive experience.

    Great drink menu! Tried the cereal shooters lucky charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and fruit pebbles. My favorite was fruity pebbles. Their made with rum. They kinda reminds you of the taste drinking the milk after you eat the cereal. Ultimate mimosa was strong and good it had more then just champagne. The have a mimosa bar where you can add you juices and add in fruits. I got the chicken and waffles with eggs. I didn’t care for the chicken tenders and eggs on top of my waffle. I was force to it them together. It was good but noting speculator. Will go back to try more drinks and items off the menu.

    I love the chairs, random I know but I love them. I ordered way too much food but I wanted to try a few things because everything sounded so good. I have to say though, the drinks were my favorite.

    Fantastic service, and amazing food. My uncle is a world renowned chef, and very hard to please, but this place hit the nail on the head. Excellent food, and great customer service.

    Well, to start off, best brunch in Detroit. This isn’t my first time here, nor my last. If you too select this fine dining establishment prepare your taste buds. Bloody Mary: perfect price, perfect zing Zang, certified ripper ™ Breakky plate: perfect proportion of meat to egg to potato Service: sublime Aux cord: 🔥 Generally a certified banger of a brunch joint.

    This was some of the best brunch I've had. The food tasted amazing, the prices were good, and the drink selection was fantastix! $5 for a single bloody Mary, you can't beat it. Will definitely be returning soon. Need to try the cereal shooters, the next table got some and they looked delicious!

    Heard a lot of good things about Bobcat and we finally made our way there. I need to mention they have free trivia night which is pretty cool. Someone plays host and asks the questions. You participate with you phone. They give prizes for 1st and 2nd places. We had the pretzels for an appetizer. I forgot to take a pick of them but they were really good. My wife really enjoyed the Salmon Pasta. There is no sauce but it does have a balsamic drizzle. She said it was very good. I ordered the yellowbird burger. The aioli was super good although I would order extra on the side. Our service was awesome, friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back!

    It was a fun, brunch environment. The hash browns were probably the best part of my whole meal which was the baked avocado! It was a little messy to get the avocado out of the rind but was still good (I would add hot sauce for a nice kick!) The second photo is of the wings, one of my friends ordered it and he said they were amazing (I didn’t try them, so take his word!)

    Amazing service! Cereal shooters were neat and tasted great. The vegan hash was *chefs kiss* and my sister and I LOVED our waiter. He was super sweet, kind & handsome. Also, the music selection was stellar. Not sure if I want to try any of the other locations lol. Will def return!!! ☺️🎉

    My husband has been here before and raved about it. We just made a trip to Detroit today and he “had to take me”. Absolutely loved everything about this place. The atmosphere was cool and cozy, the food was amazing and our waiter was the cherry on top!! They are so amazing with food allergies and made me ordering food a breeze. We live on the west side of the state and I can’t wait for the Kalamazoo location to open (much closer to home) Highly recommend checking this place out.

    Lunch at Bobcat Bonnie’s for the first time…it’s a spot for repeat visits. My sister and I went in early afternoon at the beginning of their dinner service. Our server was working alone, the bar and tables, but she didn’t skip a beat and provided good service. She was able to help me decide what to order without rushing me; her suggestion was spot on. My sister enjoyed the Not Your Average Grilled Cheese with Curly Fries and I thoroughly enjoyed the Salmon Pasta. I couldn’t see the balsamic dressing on the Angel hair pasta but it was delicious and full of flavor. The salmon was cooked perfectly along with fresh garlic, tomatoes and kale. Typically, I eat half of my pasta when I dine in and I carry the rest home…I ate every morsel from the dish. We parked in the side of the building on the street; there is additional parking in the rear of the building.

    Build your own mimosas and bloody Marys! How fun! They provide you with a large wine glass full of champagne and then you take it up to the bar to build it yourself. Plenty of juice choices and many different types of fruit to put inside as well! Super delicious just wish our server would have pointed us to the right direction as this was our first time here. Got biscuits and gravy and avocado toast. The drinks were definitely better than the food. My avocado toast was subpar at best unfortunately, soggy bread and not much else to it.

    **Update** Ashley was great and super sweet. Food was very tasty. I’d come back if our greet time was good. We saw a few tables sit down and were immediately greeted so maybe just a fluke but management should pay closer attention to situations like this so it doesn’t ruin an entire experience. *********** We have now been sitting at our table for almost 20 mins without even a greet and multiple servers have passed us. Said something to the hostess and now has been 5+ more mins still sitting here. Pretty underwhelming considering the reviews posted. It’s not even that busy.

    Great food for a great price! The vibe was cool too, as they played some old school tunes (Motown of course) as well as current hits. AND they had Fresh Prince of Bel Air playing on the TV in the back dining room so you know a West Philly jawn like me was sold! Speaking of the dining room, if you prefer more light definitely request to sit in the front dining room although the tradeoff is that it seemed a bit more busy. Now let's get to what you came for...the food! The Salmon Benedict was DELICIOUS! Very filling on a biscuit (even though the metal tray it's served on can trick you to be on the smaller side) and came with a side of breakfast potatoes for under $15. And let's not forget about the margaritas! Spicy mango was my favorite but I also highly recommend the spicy pineapple margarita as well. The best part - they offer to go drinks too! 2 breakfast entrees and 2 margaritas for under $50 - I'll be back!

    The food was good, the service was good. I got the Spicy Hash. I love how attentive our server was. THERE IS A WASP / BUG PROBLEM IF YOU EAT OUTSIDE. The reason I am giving this place a 3 out of 5 is because there is an awful Wasp problem when you eat outside. Everybody in the tent was complaining about wasps. When there are wasps, they should close down the tent curtains instead of having it wide open. The wasps were getting into our drinks, and getting into our syrups. I would recommend coming here for brunch, but eat INSIDE.

    I'm sure most times this would be 5/5, but this time of the year the wasps are awful! Do not sit outside! 2 different mimosas got wasps in them and at one point I had 3 wasps on my French toast. From what I could taste it was amazing, but the pest control has to be better. Thank you to the wonderful waitress who did remove my infected food and beverages off the bill which is why I didn't give it a low rating. I hope to be back in the future and eat inside where I'm expecting I can change this to 4 or 5 stars. Unfortunately we were not allowed to move inside when asked as there were too many guests complaining about the wasps to move everyone. Especially if you're allergic, avoid outside!

  • 5/5 Nichole B. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was excellent. Food was awesome... didn't really care for the purple rain drink but the gummy bear shot was excellent. After reading some other reviews I think they must change their menu often. They did not have many things on the menu when I went there that other people are talking about.

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was great! Lively atmosphere and very veggie friendly if you have a vegetarian with you. Cereal flights were very unique and tasty! Food was also lovely. Great brunch spot if you're in Detroit!

  • 5/5 Lauren H. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a bar food tab for a four star meal! Absolutely will be back! We had the Chicken Parm special and the Salmon Pasta.

  • 5/5 Amina C. 2 years ago on Google
    Omg thank you to the waitress that brought me my purse that I left in the ladies bathroom!! I hate I didn't get her name so I can put her name here. There are still honest people in the world 😀. I had the 24k gold dust wings & shrimp quesadilla..both were delicious. This location is pretty spacious and a close to downtown. I'll be back 😀

  • 5/5 William R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was excellent we had a large group so the service was good for our group size. Employees actually did stuff for us even though I believe it wasn't their job, which is amazing. I had my first vegan burger there, and oh my, all other restaurants have a high bar now! It was delicious.

  • 5/5 Roux R. 3 years ago on Google
    Great drinks & great food! We dined in one of the igloos, and it was very lovely to be able to go out to dinner for our anniversary while keeping our social distance. Great service, food came out fast, and did I mention the food was on point?? Get you some fried goat cheese, it was amazing 🤩

  • 5/5 PetersonTwin 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely perfect atmosphere and food. I had fried goat cheese and my husband had the bonnies breakfast plate. The bacon was the best flavor I have ever had. Smokey!!!! The breakfast potatoes were the bomb diggity and the music was phenomenal. Amazing Bloody Mary bar and everything about the visit kicked off our Sunday funday. Love this place!

  • 5/5 Rakeshia W. 4 months ago on Google
    First time going. I absolutely loved this place. I will definitely be going back very soon. The atmosphere was laid back and chill. The waitstaff was awesome, and the food was delicious !!!

  • 4/5 Nicholas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Two of my favorites (Fish Tacos and the Naan club) have now been changed and definitely not for the better. I still love Bobcat Bonnie's but come on guys. You guys have some amazing food but I don't like these cost reductions. Just have us pay more and get amazing eats! 5 stars - 1 for cost reducing some of your flagship eats!

  • 3/5 Richard M. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited but did not eat. Got there 10 min after open on a Sunday. The wait was twice what we were told, 20/40, and it looked like service was at least as delayed. I've heard brekfast is great and hope to try it next time. Just plan ahead.

    I went to this restaurant because they had Igloo seating. The first Igloo was too cold but we had a wonderful waiter Rob and he moved us to a different igloo which was much better. I enjoyed their selection of wine. We went during brunch so the menu was small. I will probably go again but during dinner. I had the breakfast hamburger without cheese the hamburger was on the dry side. The atmosphere inside was very entertaining.
