    Liz was our server. She was attentive and chill. We ended up getting there close to the ending of brunch. Liz did not rush us. We ordered cereal shots, 24K wings with 24K candied bacon and donut holes, and other breakfast stuff. It was all good.

    Kind of a strange and unique place. Spinach artichoke dip was good, spicy chicken bowl and sesame chicken were both good. Lots of staff trying to keep up, didn’t even set my drink down when my glass was picked up! Nice place to try - I will visit one morning as I see they have some interesting choices for brunch.

    Always great food with many vegetarian & vegan options! Great brunch menu on Sundays open until 3:30pm. Came around 2pm with no wait. Prices are reasonable at $14-15 per entree that we chose (took half home). Had the vegan 'chicken' sourdough sandwich with curly fries & split the large serving of s'mores brownie for dessert (at $9). Sandwich has a nice kick from the Chipotle mayo; Brownie was rich and chocolaty. $5 mimosa bar a great deal!

    Bobcat Bonnie’s is awesome! I’m from out of town and here for a conference, I got in late and not much was open. This place delivered on all accounts, atmosphere, food, and service! I LOVE all the pride flags and posters and everything, made me feel welcomed and accepted. And the chicken salad sandwich was so tasty and filling! Great place to go!!

    Crispy roasted Brussel sprouts and artichoke dip for appetizers. The burgers were standard but the hash browns were delicious. A few decent vegetarian options on the menu as well. Great staff and friendly service in a very relaxed atmosphere

    (Last visited 3/9/2022.) Hanging out with some friends in Ypsilanti and while scrolling through Facebook I saw that someone had mentioned this place had "24k Gold Chicken Wings". Say what? Like, real gold? Apparently! So here we are to try these things out! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the corner of Michigan Ave and S. Washington is this gem. The exterior is modern, simple and blends in very well with the gorgeous red bricks of downtown Ypsilanti. Inside is very modern, open and chic. There are big windows that are excellent for people watching. There's exposed brick, exposed ventilation and tons of color painted onto the walls. The décor is lively, fun and inclusive. You can also see right into the open kitchen! This place is holding no secrets. Lol. Downstairs is actually a separate business, but there was live music, trivia or something always going on down there. There are also probably 75 classic arcade machines, pool tables and a huge bar. They have their own food, but only REALLY SIMPLE stuff, like hot dogs. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but our service was just fine. Food: So I'm here for the wings man! I get my order and I'm just blown away with the presentation. The wings were shimmering and now... don't get me wrong, somebody could've purchased some edible glitter and thrown it on these things then called them 24k Gold. 'Cause, why would you want to eat gold? Just to say you did? There's much better use for it. Lol. Anyway, the wings were delicious and the gold doesn't add any flavor at all. However the wings were big, juicy, cooked excellently and decently seasoned. Very good and would absolutely get them again. The jalapeno ranch was a great, creamy complement as well. I did get a chance to try their curly fries and they were crispy, decently salted, but nothing super special. However, the Truffle Tots were DELIGHTFUL. I'm a huge truffle fan and these had an excellent mild truffle taste with great saltiness from the Parmesan cheese. Value: These legendary gimmicky wings were $15.00 for 8. Totally worth it. But this isn't a cheap place, but it's not 5-star dining prices either. In conclusion, I really enjoyed this place and I hope it sticks around. It's fresh, it's unique, it's inclusive, IT IS YPSILANTI in a restaurant. I'm excited to come back here and try out some more stuff!

    If you are looking for a safe space to be yourself and be with like-minded folks, this is the place to be! Great atmosphere, good food, fun activities (like DJ Bingo, Keystone Arcade, etc), outdoor seating, and fabulous drinks - Bobcat Bonnie's is a fabulous addition to downtown Ypsi. Will definitely be coming back - 10/10 would recommend!

    Went for a first date and it has now become "our" favorite spot. I've brought friends and family since and none have left disappointed. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is fun and eclectic, the staff is accommodating and super friendly, overall it's a great place. Love it!! FYI: pictures are from multiple visits lol

    The atmosphere is very queen friendly and welcoming to all. The breakfast tacos are a great portion size and are very easy to eat. The sauce on them was perfect for the eggs , the potato’s that came with were delicious as well. The Carnitas bennies on a biscuit were layered nicely and had a perfect range of flavors. The Carnival waffles were standard, nice portion of fruit and ice cream to go with the waffle, could have been more generous with the Nutella however all together very tasty. The portions were all good for their prices, and the staff was very polite. Would go again.

    Stopped here with co-workers since we were working at the back office studio nearby. They were understaffed but the servers who were there were definitely doing their best and the service ended up being great. It's typical bar food, nothing special in that area. I liked the tater tots but they were really nothing to write home about.

    Quality service, great tasting food, but beware of the happy hour specials!!! You don’t get a full sized appetizer for half the price, you get HALF the appetizer for half of the price. While it’s a good way to try more things at once without paying full price for something, I’ve always been under the impression that half off appetizers meant half off of the full portion, not half of the portion and price….. I was told it is because of inflation they now do half the portions, but at that point that needs to be advertised to the customers, or happy hour for food just shouldn’t be a thing. I came in expecting full sized portions and got half. Needless to say, the nachos tasted great! And thank you Theo for being a great server, I appreciate the chill vibes. Might be back again, but hesitant because of the prices and happy hour “specials”.

    This was an all around good experience. We got there and it was incredibly busy and quite the wait. This made the environment kind of loud, so take note of that, but the experience was by no means ruined. The service went well and the waiters managed the restaurant well despite the busyness. The food had no theme, and was more of an assortment of American foods, yet they made them very well and I was pleased. Even something like the Mac and Cheese was yummy. The drinks where also very good, I think I got a special Lemonade but I recall liking it. We also got the wings with gold on them, which were cheap and the gold didn't change anything, but still cool. I would recommend for a dinner with freinds.

    I was walking downtown Ypsilanti looking for a refreshment this afternoon and I came across Bobcat Bonnie's - I was intrigued by the signs + decor. I was delighted by the atmosphere + how they had an N/A cocktail menu! My food was delicious. Will definitely come here again.

    Food was good! Didn’t enjoy the vibes, ended up taking my food to go. My sever was sweet. Fun and trendy place. Can’t say I’d go again.
