The Kat Shack

Kat Shack is a little sports bar in Matawan.  The clientele is predominantly locals. Although its a pretty small place, it's decorated nicely with high ceilings which makes it seem bigger. There is a normal sized bar, a few high top tables and a pool table.  There is also a juke box and several good sized flat screen tvs. The drinks are reasonably priced. I did notice that the soda, which is dispensed from a gun, is ALWAYS flat.  Since I drink mixed drinks, this is definitely an issue.  The service is hit or miss.  The bartenders always seem to be tending to the locals/regulars and somewhat ignoring anyone who is not.  They do serve food, but I've never seen anyone actually eating.  I think I saw someone eating a pretzel once.

Its BAR FOOD so i wasn't expecting the best food but....

For some reason it was freezing in there, the thermo read 69 degrees so its was a chilly dining experience.

buffalo chicken wrap = wayyyyy to much sauce, it was drenched and overpowering
fries/onion rings = a ok
"blazing asian chicken wings" = just tasted like sweet soy sauce paste and was not "blazing" at all
Chicken fingers = over fried
Chuck chester? Roast beef sandwich = flavor didnt seem balanced and beef tasted very salty and.....not so fresh

However, the service was great, no complaints there, quick and attentive.
Might go back....maybe for drinks because i heard the bar scene is great.

My buddy and I came in for a couple of drinks and some football.

The place is small.  It has a bar and a few tables.  We first went to a table which had some menus on it.  We waited about 5 minutes and got a seat at the bar since nobody even looked in our direction.

We had a few beers and some food.  I had the buffalo chicken wrap.  It was good.  Loads of buffalo sauce on it though.  The fries were good.  The bartenders were ok.  Basically they wanted nothing to do with anyone unless they had an empty drink.  It literally took us 15 minutes to get someone to come over for food.
