Cat and Owl Steak & Seafood House

Steak had great grill marks and was very flavorful. The stuff potato was tasty but disappointingly small. Very friendly and helpful staff

Great Surf & Turf… a little pricey but well worth the experience!

I was in Clifton Forge recently after my wedding, and was looking for a nice sit-​down place for dinner with my wife. There wasn’t much really open town, so was recommended this place just out of town by our innkeeper. We were finishing up a long day in town so headed over shortly after they opened, and as such got there when they were mostly open, and were immediately seated at a table in one of their smaller dining rooms.
A note here about the décor, Cat and Owl is in someone’s old house, so there are quite a few small rooms with different feels, all chocked full with old knick-​knacks and other sundires.
The only reason I’m giving this a 4 star as when we went to order drinks and I asked for sweet tea, I was informed they only had unsweetened — a bit of a let down for a place this far in the south.
They were running a Pork Tenderloin special when we attended, which I got, along with bacon wrapped scallops, while my wife got grilled scallops and shrimp. They had a small but functional salad bar there as a vegetable option, and hardly before we could finish salads, our food arrived. The food for both of us was quite good; the pork was succulent and juicy without being dry and overcooked, and the Scallops first of all were larger sea scallops, and every one of them was quite tended, not a hint of rubbery. All of the seafood was grilled and served on skewers, so that showed a level of skill in the kitchen to ensure that it wasn’t all overcooked.
For dessert, we split a Heath Bar Crunch pie, which was a cold pie, a bit surprising to both of us, but it was good none the less.
Great spot for a bit more upscale sit-​down dinner outside of Clifton Forge

What a nice surprise to find this place. i‘ll be sure to make this a regular stop.

The grilled prime rib is the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. I went back a second time just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke … just as delicious as the first time!
