Bobcat Bonnie's Corktown

"Bobcat Bonnie’s first entered the local restaurant scene in 2015, with the opening of its first location in Corktown. The regional chain now has five locations across Michigan’s lower peninsula, and has plans to expand to Ohio with a Toledo outpost in the works." - Serena Maria Daniels

"With ample seating and a diverse menu that’s as fun as it is delicious, Bobcat Bonnie’s doesn’t necessarily need a kids menu to appeal to youngsters. The restaurant’s brunch with options like Oreo pancakes, Captain Crunch french toast, and giant cinnamon rolls is particularly popular with families. Bobcat also features several arcade games for kids with a handful of quarters." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Owner Matthew Buskard has made it a point to give his growing roster of Bobcat Bonnie’s locations big neighborhood joint vibes, but with subtle design details that hint that this growing chain of restaurants is also very much LGBTQ-friendly. Stop by for Burger Mondays starting at 5 p.m. when a different specialty burger is featured every month. For $15, the deal comes with a burger, tots, and a beer. Brunch is also big here, with cocktail specialties like cereal shooters (which blend the flavors of sugary kids’ cereals with liquor), make-your-own bloody marys, and breakfast tacos." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Nowadays, Bobcat Bonnie’s locations can be found in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties, as well as in Lansing and out-state in Toledo. However, the brunch-friendly spot got its start in Corktown. For breakfast or brunching options, opt for something sweet like the Oreo pancakes or Captain Crunch french toast, along with a DIY mimosa and bloody mary stand. Also be on the lookout for fun burger specials, vegan options, and a fun fruity cocktail menu." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Happy Hour runs all night on Thursdays at all Bobcat Bonnie’s locations, as well as during the traditional weekly hours. Deals include $4 off signature cocktails, $5 draft beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $6 appetizers. Hours: 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 3 p.m. to close on Thursdays." - Courtney Burk
