About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
Featuring raw oysters and fresh seafood with international influences from executive chef Eddie Barrett, BeetleCat is a trendy restaurant and bar in Atlanta’s Inman Park neighborhood. The menu transports you to the New England coast at the upstairs dining room and oyster bar, while the downstairs Den lends itself to a 70s surf shack. Enjoy fresh air on one of the two patios, both upstairs and downstairs. BeetleCat is open nightly for dinner and offers brunch in the Den on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Really enjoyed the food and experience. The price point is a bit high for the offerings but would return

    We had a lovely dinner at Beetlecat last night. We sat downstairs which was nice and cozy and quieter than upstairs. The food was outstanding. Some of the highlights were the ceviche, the fry bread, and the moqueca. We shared all of those things and more between 3 of us. But, the best thing about the meal was the service. Our server, Destiny, was outstanding. She really knew the menu inside and out and had awesome recommendations for both food and cocktails. She really made the dining experience 5 stars!

    One of our favorite restaurants in Atlanta. They have the BEST Lobster Roll we have ever had, and we have done the Lobster Roll Trail in Maine. I bring customers and out of town guests here every time we are in Atlanta. Oh, and their selection of oysters are really good! They are fresh, delicious, and different.
    BeetlecatResponded on April 12, 2025
    LOVE to hear that, Chris, and thanks for bringing your friends along with you to enjoy the delicious Lobster Roll! We'll see you in next time!

    I’ve eaten at Beetlecat several times over the years, sometimes with the family and other times on date nights with my partner. We keep coming back mainly for the burgers, which I genuinely think are some of the best in Atlanta, and the fried bread, which remains one of my favorite appetizers anywhere. I’ve even recommended the place to friends just so they could try it for themselves. This time, we came with the kids. It was loud when we walked in. The dining room is cozy and lends itself to other people’s conversations being a bit harsh on the ears. The kids all ordered burgers. I went with the flounder, which was very good. We also tried the beets with strawberries and the kale salad. Both were solid. My partner had the fish and chips. The flavor was fine, but the batter was fried a little too dark and came out oily. The fries were even more of an issue. Everyone’s portion was extremely greasy. You could squeeze them and watch the oil drip. My son ordered a lemonade, which tasted bland. He switched to a sweet tea, but that was also bland. Since neither drink is listed on the menu, we figured they might not be regular offerings. I also had a side salad that I didn’t enjoy because it was very bitter. Since it was a busy night, we kept our thoughts to ourselves, paid the bill, and left a tip. We’ll return at some point, but probably without the kids. The burgers are still great, but the overall value is another reason we’ll likely limit family visits. Looking back, we spent quite a bit and had several disappointing items. That’s easier to navigate with just two adults.
