Meeting with friends for lunch we experienced a superb dining event. A very different take on traditional English dishes which will delight the taste buds. If you haven't been yet, you must try it.

An interesting bar / restaurant, watched over by a stern, aristocratic-looking moggie, depicted in oil on canvass in a massive portrait on the front wall. The bar serves interesting cocktails and also some locally brewed beers. We had a quick lunch here and found the service to be welcoming and helpful, even though they were perhaps a bit pressed and could have done with an extra pair of hands (paws?) Food was fine - I only had a sandwich so it’s hard to say much more, but I got the impression it was all decent quality. The room was quite noisy, with hard surfaces reflecting sound, so it’s maybe more a place for those wanting vibrancy and zip rather than a quiet or more intimate dining experience.

This was our first trip to Grimsby and we were pleasantly surprised. The Curious Cat offers really excellent, friendly service together with an extensive drinks menu and very tasty food.In these Covid19 days they appear to be keeping everyone as safe as possible and we didn't feel we had unduly compromised our safety by dining here.Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Grimsby for the first time and it was very handy for the Holiday Inn where we were staying.

I regularly visit this bar and have never had cause for complaint. I find it very interesting that the poor review below ends by saying they wanted a refund, even though they had eaten their burger. Surely, the time to complain is beforehand so that any mistake can be rectified at the time. Cocktails do take a while to make up so a little patience ought to be expected. The food here is of excellent quality and cooked when you order, so again, a little patience is necessary. This is a great bar which offers first-class dining amid a fantastic, relaxed atmosphere. To any visitor to the town, I would strongly recommend the fish and chips, small size unless you have a huge appetite! Given the current climate, I think the staff are performing admirably and should be afforded a little understanding of the difficult job in hand.

Out for my first meal after lockdown yesterday I was looking forward to lunch here yesterday, after having previously good meals. I ordered a burger meal, part of which was 'caramelised red onion' but instead it had raw red onion, even though the burger contained some chorizo and cheese it needed the cooked onion for added moisture, and as a result of this lack, the meal was quite dry. Unfortunately that was not the worst of it because the dish of coleslaw provided was horrible and I put it aside and when sniffed after the meal we found it reeked and was very evidently off! When the waiter came to clear up I told him about both issues and he said he'd tell the chef, but no feedback at all was given to me. We were discussing this lack of professionalism when another waiter turned and said oh I can tell you what the chef said, he's addressing the coleslaw issue so I asked about the onion and his reply was oh he'll address that too and he then apologised. People at the next table were flabbergasted asking 'is that it, no refund or voucher offered?' I told them there wouldn't have even been an apology had he not overheard our conversation! To be fair the staff from arriving to leaving were very attentive, pleasant and helpful, however this issue was not properly dealt with at all. Meals provided should contain what is described on the menu and there clearly was no good reason why this one did not and serving food that has gone off is downright dangerous for some people. Very disappointing.

Called in early on Saturday evening not expecting a problem with getting a table but we were lucky to get one at 5.45 on the understanding that we would have finished by 7, so booking would be advisable.Nice atmosphere and attentive service. Large fish and chips was as described, chicken skewer was lovely but both burgers were a little dry and rather disappointing. Would go back and give it a second try, cocktails were very tempting.

The Curious Cat is a little gem of a place, a welcome shelter from the Grimsby rain on a Tuesday evening. The spot was recommended by a friend and colleague and it was definitely a great choice. The decor is lovely, there is a nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. There is plenty of choice on the menu, but it’s not overwhelming. There are traditional faves like fish and chips, and also something a bit different from the run of the mill pub grub. In addition to food there is an extensive range of spirits and drinks, plus a delightful cocktail menu. We witnessed one of the bar staff making a wonderful concoction which included candy floss. Two of my companions opted for the risotto and the rest of us chose fish. To accompany our meals we ordered a side of truffle and Parmesan fries, they were delicious. We were so impressed we decided to order a dessert.

I visited here over Christmas period on a 'girls day' away from the family. I am not from the area but visit Grimsby regularly due to family there, this place is a real Gem and I will be taking another visit next time I am up! We initially went in for quick drink at lunch before doing some shopping and booked a table for food mid afternoon. They had a Christmas menu on at the time but I ordered from the main menu. The venison scotch egg is a must all I could think after was I must come here and have this again as it was delicious! I followed this up with a grilled holumi sandwich for my main while others in my group opted for Christmas roast dinner. Service was Friendly and efficient. Highly reccomend going here! :)

Went as a couple on a recommendation on Friday 19th December before places got busy. The whole operation just seemed like a jolly boys outing with all staff having what appeared to be a lovely time without having any awareness of customer needs and wants. One of the bar staff literally took out a hammer and started hammering something below the bar whilst we were eating and our waiter walked past us a total of three times before collecting our empty plates. Whilst the food was good my steak arrived with vine tomatoes and salad despite this not being mentioned on the menu description ( I don’t like either) Steak was excellent though. This place has potential but feel the staff need a bit of micromanaging .

Husband’s family go here a lot and say good things about it. Our trip was not so good. Food served cold and even if it had been hot would still have been unappetising, the hallomi in my sandwich was way to thick, cold and rubbery because it had barely been placed on the grill by the looks of it. The bread was limp and soggy owing to the pesto being spread directly onto it and soaking through. The chips were raw in the middle.

We arrived about 11.45 am. I fancied a breakfast and my daughter fancied lunch. Wasn't sure if they would be able to accommodate both due to the time restrictions on the menus, however, nothing was too much trouble actually. Very impressed with the attentive staff. I had the full English minus the black pudding (personal preference) and it was delicious. Almost felt posh. Good quality Lincolnshire sausages. Very nice coffee too. My daughter had a toasted chicken with lime marinade sandwich and mint yoghurt. She said it was delicious. Both very good portions that we couldn't finish. Wouldn't normally have thought of eating in a place like this. So glad we did, will be back.

We stumbled across the Curious Cat purely by chance when visiting Grimsby last month (June) and what a lucky find it was, a haven amidst the humdrum. The bar, relaxed furnishings and mood lighting at midday were clues this might be something special and so it proved. The youthful bartenders/waiters were welcoming without being overwhelming and the food was spot on. My wild mushrooms with stilton was delicious and my wife’s superfood salad with chicken was all that it promised. Add a couple of drinks and the whole bill of £20.90 was good value for everything the Curious Cat delivered.

Used to love coming here, and decided to visit on bank holiday Sunday expecting to have the great night that is usually had... couldn't have been more surprised to find we had to wait for a glass, despite it not being busy at all at this time, what was more surprising still was the attitude of the bartender.. who was audibly complaining of being tired and not wanting to be there, to add to this he was throwing utensils down & slamming glasses on the bar. Never have I been made to feel so guilty for ordering a drink, at 8pm.. on a bank holiday weekend, given the abysmal level of service, I can only assume this is why what used to be a thriving establishment is now struggling to get custom, such a decline from the brilliant, friendly staff and warm, welcoming atmosphere that used to have the place heaving every weekend!

Went for a cocktail here before a meal out. I chose a Gin drink with Elderflower at £3.50 (one of the cheapest) I was asked if I wanted the cordial or the elderflower tonic as the tonic was cheaper. So that's what I had and was charged £4.90! when I questioned the price as the menu said £3.50, he said that was just for the GIN. In my opinion if the drink they are describing on the menu says a price then that's what you should expect to be paying. My friend said she would share the bottle of tonic so only got a gin and was charged £3.25 - work that one out - lol

The place is set out for a relaxed atmosphere. We ordered both our drinks and meals at the same time. Drinks came in a reasonable time, one of the cocktail glasses had a chip in it, so we requested it to be changed which it was, but no apology given. The meals all came in good time and we all enjoyed them, presentation and quality were v good, not large portions but fine. We also ordered a couple of desserts, which again were v good, again small portions but fine.

I completely disagree with all comments of "it's too expensive for Grimsby". On a very basic level let me explain why that isn't at all accurate... the higher the cost of your ingredients, the higher the cost of the drink will be (assuming the bar operator wants to make any money at all)

After waiting a long time for someone to take our order I ended up going to the bar myself to order. Usually the Sunday lunch comes with varied veg and a delicious cauliflower cheese. It came with a tiny bowl of 3 broccoli florets a few carrots and a tiny bowl of gravy for the two of us. The roast potatoes tasted like aunt Bessie's frozen and the food was like warm. No one came to ask if everything was OK so there was no opportunity to voice my concerns. It was not worth £9.95 and both the food and service needs to improve. Sadly won't be going back.

So glad to find The Curious Cat whilst in Grimsby. After visiting other establishments to find that there cocktails came ready mixed and were of the bog standard varieties, we found this wonderful bar. Gin and Vodka Martinis later, we decided to eat. We had New York Deli style pastrami and cheese sandwiches, with salad and coleslaw plus a glass of wine for, £7.50 - a complete bargain. The cocktails aren't cheap but so good. Recommended.

Second visit to the curious cat and loving it ! Had four of the starters/light bites for £20 and it was great. All of which were excellent good quality food. The scotch egg was brilliant I loved it! The fish cakes we're really tasty. The cocktails were amazing best place in town! I'd recommended the bubble gum cooler Grimsbys highlight !

Been here a few times and the cocktails and food and so so good! Well worth a visit, the staff are also very lovely. It can be a bit pricey for both food and drinks but to be honest it's really worth it. If you're in town give it a try!

First visit to the curious cat , love the layout, such a cool quirky vibe! The cocktails were brilliant!! Such a variety and worth the money as unlike some places you can actually taste the alcohol. The seafood linguine was lovely, well presented as well. Can't wait to visit again and try more food and cocktails!! This will be my choice for dinner or a beverage when visiting grimsby from now on. Only criticism the barmen need to discover what having a personality Is . It goes a long way in repeat business !

We ended up in Grimsby after our AirBnB in Hull canceled and we couldn't get anything closer due to a large festival in Hull. It was a wonderful surprise of a city and we were very pleased at the serendipity of it all.

Although we didn't eat here we really enjoyed the atmosphere its a comfy place with great music which can be a bit on the loud side.

Called in for a drink and light lunch. Average quality pint at £5.50 a go is way too high. Food only average too so think i'll go elsewhere in future.

My Sister and I like to go to The Curious Cat about once a month for cocktails and Lunch. This, visit unlike others was quite disappointing. The Barman said he was coming to take our order and then didn't. We decided on cocktails to start which were lovely and presented well. After having to ask someone to take our food order we chose Salmon Fishcakes Scotch Egg and Haddock Gougons to share with Crusty Breads Balsamic Vinegar and and a portion of chips. the gougons were lovely as were the chips but the fishcake was tasteless and the Scotch Egg not much better. We love the service we get in there but it was sadly missing yesterday with the Barmen not taking any interest at all and we were the only ones in there! We will go again but hope the flavour and service improve next time.

My sister and I called in late afternoon, after a heavy shopping trip, needing sustenance! We were served at the table very quickly, ordered drinks and food from a very polite young man. Food arrived promptly and it was delicious. It was very quiet in the restaurant but nevertheless the service was excellent and the bar staff were focussed and attentive. We'd definitely call again at lunchtime.

Popped in for lunch with my son. I ordered a vegetarian choice which came with gravy. I had a little sample on my meal and chose not to have anymore as was not convinced it was vegetarian ,unfortunately after asking staff they disappeared and returned with the verdict that it was in fact beef gravy!! Was told I should have specified this when I ordered. I thought presumed choice evident of this,guess not. Overall meal was fine.

I sometimes eat here for lunch and it's always perfect. On this occasion I opted for the fish finger sandwich. Don't think breadcrumb Birdseye fish finger, think battered fish! What a delight.

Visited for a works lunch and found that the place was deserted apart from staff, food was okay but nothing to get excited about and perhaps a little overpriced. The place seems to try too hard to be seen as fashionable with little Chinese tea pots and strainers for those requiring tea, and staff who despite not having many people to deal with seemed to vanish at times. Overall distinctly average and probably would not bother again.

This is our second visit here and although the place has a buzz about it and the cocktails are to die for, you need a second mortgage just to have a couple of drinks! It was averagely busy for a Saturday evening and although there was plenty of bar staff on, the service wasn't the fastest. There were a couple of pretentious staff on too who obviously considered themselves FAR too important to be serving customers. Hey, newsflash: we're paying your wages!

My first time visiting the area, food was amazing, drinks were amazing too! Reasonably priced but well worth the money for the show while our cocktails were being made. 10/10.

Fuimos allí para el desayuno hoy después de una experiencia horrible en Binns la semana Personal amable y acogedor que sirve comida fresca y caliente es un requisito mínimo para nosotros, y este lugar. Inclusive pudimos modificar ligeramente el menú para todos nosotros sin ningún problema. Si hubiera un pequeño punto negativo sería que la zona de asientos está un poco fría - significa mi esposa eligió dejar su abrigo mientras comió. No es un factor decisivo, pero algo que no hacer a menos que tenía.

Must of been a bad day today but food was uncooked staff were calling customers that complained. Dont think they understand we can hear them from behind the counter. Made it very awkward. Fella behind serving has no customer service very rude. Servers look very unclean and have the essence of a dustbin. Poor woman with short spicky hair looked frazzeled.But hey ho the sausages were nice and at least cooked but left me feeling stressed to say the least. Not for me!!!! Hopefully better day tomorrow. Face it, it couldnt get any worse dont let yourselves down. P.s could do with a good clean.

Beautiful place, and thought it would be some where I would come back. But due to the lady who served me and my family I would not return. Very rude and not friendly.
