★★★★★ 5.0 Andrew Alder · Mar 2026

Our server Tess was awesome and the food was excellent. Fish tacos were great, but the sauce was pretty spicy.

Fun place to visit, decent bar food type menu. We enjoyed a local beer and some different entrees. The service was good, definitely on the noisy side but it was very busy. I would definitely recommend coming here and giving it a try.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Adam Leach · Sep 2025

Unimpressed with the chicken bacon pesto pizza. And the chicken nachos. The chicken tastes good on both, but the nacho cheese is mostly likely the canned liquid stuff with some shredded cheese added on top. The tomatoes on both taste like basic hot house or Roma tomatoes. They tiny amount of salsa given with the nachos is laughable so I asked for some more. The onions and tomatoes on the pizza were raw (like they were added as an afterthought) who the heck puts raw veggies on pizza? The cheese was a little too much and the pesto was too little, the bacon was fine, and the crust is cooked decently but it tastes cheap. I think they also changed the way they bread/batter their chicken tenders (they used to be panko, now it seems like regular batter). The burgers are good though. Sweet potato

Catalyst Kitchen Tap Room has a great atmosphere and a solid variety of food and drinks, but the overall experience was hit or miss. The drummies were a creative idea and tasted okay, but the fish tacos and chicken melt were just average—not bad, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, one of the cocktails didn’t sit well with me and sent me straight to the bathroom, which was disappointing. Service was also just okay. Our waitress wasn’t very helpful in clarifying the menu. For example, she made it seem like the tacos came with a side, but we were later charged separately, making us feel like we were upsold rather than properly informed. A little more transparency and attentiveness would have improved the experience. That said, the restaurant has a welcoming vibe, and the dri

★★★★☆ 4.0 BanJo · Jun 2025

We thought the vibe was right. And we were right! We had three restaurants to choose from...we picked Catalyst bc the patio seating was amazing, and the staff SO friendly! The food was good. Skip the $16 Chef's salad... nothing to shout about. Flatbread Hawaiian Pizza... Ok... But not a crisp crust. Kinda soggy. Rodeo Burger was a winner... the Tots were a bit overdone, cold and not plentiful. I like crispy, hot and lots 😎 But the service was superb and we really enjoyed our weight drop as well as all of the staff we chatted with! I'd go back for sure, but I'd order something different.
