Kitty's Cafe

I remember hearing about this place years ago but never went. It popped up on my FYP on TikTok so I decided to give it a try. My family and I drove down on a Saturday around 12:30. Not sure where it was exactly, we ended up driving by it and having to turn around. There is only street parking available so we parked 1/2 a block up and walked down. We weren’t the only ones who did. The steady flow of people coming in and out was a lot. Good for business. They only accept cash, which is good to know beforehand. We ordered the famous pork tenderloin, a cheeseburger and fries. Everything is alacarte. Which is also good to know beforehand. The tenderloin had good flavor but was fried very hard. My husband enjoyed his but said it was too spicy, he had the hot sauce. Overall, it was good. Glad we finally tried it.

I finally made it after so many years of ordering thru a coworker..delicious..fast and great service and a cute lil restaurant,I believe there is seating in the back..prices are decent...give them a try..

Damn good. I enjoyed the pork tenderloin sandwich and the tots! They were both hot and fresh! That tenderloin sandwich. The batter each cutlet is fried in is light and crispy! I should have added cheese. The service was good. My only gripe is how they only take cash, but "if it ain't broke, dont fix it," I suppose. The spot is super small inside. There's outdoor seating if you have time to hang out. I'll definitely be back for sure!

Absolutely delicious. You would be shorting yourself if you didn't at least try this place. Haven't had it in a while, my husband grabbed it and by the time I got it, it was cold. The tater tots are STILL crispy. The sandwich isn't soggy at all. Amazing. Even better when hot

I do love a tenderloin! Kitty's doesn't do the plate-sized cutlet, but rather stacks the meat on the bun! It's a crunchy tempura breading, served on a soft bun with lettuce, tomato and onion. They will put ketchup on it, so be advised if it's not your thing! I'm not one for anything tomato on a tenderloin, period! The tots are crunchy and perfect. It's a great lunch and the rest of the sandwiches are also very tasty. BRING CASH!!!! No cards. Closes before 3pm.

I read about this place on atlas obscura and was surprised its been around since the 50s and my in-laws who live in KCK have never heard of it. We went on a Friday around lunchtime and it was pretty busy. My fiance wanted to try the cheeseburger and I had to have the famed pork tenderloin sandwich. The wait was about 30 minutes and it is CASH ONLY so as long as you're prepared, neither is an issue. The pork tenderloin sandwich and the hot sauce on it were great and I'd love to have another. The cheeseburger wasn't bad but seemed pretty similar to Sonic or a run of the mill fast food cheeseburger. I had to have a mexican coke with it and it made for the perfect combo. Overall, a good visit.

The wait times can be really long, because they cook everything fresh for each customer. So the first time that I ate here, I wanted to try the food and not like it because waiting for a half hour for one sandwich is too long. Unfortunately, it is worth the wait. My pork tenderloin sandwich was delicious. I have no choice but to go back, and wait for a sandwich. Just FYI, they serve their sandwiches with hot sauce, so ask for it without hot sauce if you don't like spicy food. It is really spicy, and they put a lot of it on there. Cash only!
