A 2015 study found that the UK was the second-largest producer of plastic waste in the world (after the USA). That equates to 100 billion pieces of plastic thrown away by UK households every year. Fat Cats is a good choice if you want a little something extra in a casual setting.According to the Big Plastic Count, a project launched by Greenpeace and Everyday Plastic in 2022, the average household disposes of 66 pieces of plastic packaging every week – 83% of which is food and drink packaging. We were on the early side, but we had our entrees within a half hour or so of our arrival, so we were finished within an hour.

The fallen chocolate cake dessert was great. We thought the food was good, but not spectacular. We had the smoked salmon deviled egg appetizer, hanger steak, and mac & cheese. The menu is fairly extensive and has several Asian fusion selections as well things from burgers to fish tacos and ribs. We had no difficulty navigating the menu on our phones.

They don't have physical menus, but rather a QR code. Note that the sound level is a little high. We ate in the bar area on a long table that had other diners at the other end. It has the feel of a nicer bar that has worked to provide finer food. Consistent with the Tremont location, Fat Cats is in an older building. They take reservations, but you have to do so by phone, and they will call you a day or so ahead of time to confirm. Access from the freeway was easy and you are all of about 5 minutes from downtown. In any case, you might want to give yourself a little time to park if your luck is not as good as our's was. There is some on-site parking, which was full, but we had little difficulty finding a spot on the street. It is in Tremont toward the end of what appears to be a dead end road.

We visited Fat Cats based on the reviews on this site. After emerging from the pandemic, we've been trying new restaurants as some of our past favorites have closed.
