Cat's Caboose

My first visit to this restaurant but certainly not my last. Place was busy on Saturday night as they had a live jazz band playing in the bar side. Lots of delicious items on the menu. I settled on Shepard Pie that was so hearty and tasted like homemade. Lots of mashed potatoes and cheese topped off a large portion of ground beef seasoned well mixed with carrots and peas. Everything was warmed in the oven and the dish retained the heat till the last bite. The dish was served with an order of blanched green beans. The beans were underdone for my liking but still very tasty. My husband enjoyed the southern fried chicken sandwich and a side order of beef and cabbage soup. The sandwich was topped with lettuce and tomato and a spicy mayo. My husband commented on the soup which he had never eaten before. Said it was a great soup with lots of flavour. We finished off the meal with a creme brûlée. Nicely plated with whipped cream dollops and raspberry puree. Custard was like silk, smooth and rich. I expected it to be on the warm side because of the candied sugar topppng however it was served chilled. Still very nice ending to a delicious meal. Didn't catch the name of our waitress but she was very attentive and waited patiently for us to make our supper choices. Then she checked on us twice after receiving our meal and dessert. Very friendly!

We love going to cats. Food is always amazing and never a miss. Until today. Ordered their blue cheese burger and not one but both tomato slices in my burger had its pits. Not sure what happened there but it seems like something that should’ve been caught during prep, especially given the restaurant’s usual attention to quality. I hope the kitchen can be a bit more careful with ingredient prep moving forward.

Pleasantly surprised both times I have been at this restaurant. Portion sizes are great. Taste on both meals so far has been outstanding. Service during last visit by Shayla was prompt & friendly despite being short staffed appeared to be during a recent snow storm.nCant wait to go back

I'll start off by saying I've loved this restaurant and I've been coming here for many years.nUnfortunately, I recently ordered a smash burger and kept finding and biting down on pieces of bone. I was first told it was just cartilage and that it's fine... Obviously I know what cartilage is and it's definitely not fine, but I'm not super picky so I kept eating... Until a fairly large piece got lodged between my teeth and I had a hard time getting it unstuck. After talking to our server for a second time, she finally took time to inform the kitchen. I never got any sort of compensation or discount, and I don't even remember receiving any sort of apology. I have come here very often and love this place, but this experience really soured my opinion of cat's. I'll definitely be more hesitant to return or recommend this place in the future.

Always a great time at Cats Caboose! I have been coming here since 2015. Had a first date here in 2019 and then married him this year :. When I lived at Brock, my roommates and I would also have our birthday dinners here. Such fair pricing, and always excited for any chance to go back! My favourite is either the bow tie pasta or the burgers
