We ordered the daily special of burnt ends with potato salad and beans and the fried shrimp with fries and slaw. The coleslaw is the BEST I have ever had!! Burnt ends were juicy while still having crispy edges. The shrimp were huge and fresh. While ambiance is that of a backroad diner, the food and service gives this place 5 stars. We will try the ribs next time. If you have a hankering for comfort food, wrap yourself in some warm, delicious, tastes like home cooked meals.

Both were tasty and we left them with clean plates. The coffee was hot and fresh and our waitress continued to refill them throughout the meal. Restaurant was clean as were the rest rooms. Vintage decor and pictures give the place an old fashioned appearance. We will certainly return when we can and highly recommend it when you are in town.

There were more employees than customers, and several of them seemed to be in a bad mood. The food was decent, but also priced kind of high for the quality and portions.

We started with an old fashioned, ginger beer, truffle parmesan fries and brisket bombs. The drinks and appetizer were outstanding! Everyone needs to try their brisket bombs!! They melt in your mouth. Very generous portion of truffle Parmesan fries that we took home and enjoyed the next day! My husband's steak was well marbled and cooked to perfection. He was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the steak. Super tender and well seasoned! Salmon was fresh with a yummy sauce. For dessert we had creme brûlée. It was some of the best and we order it everywhere we go. You can't go wrong with Katie's! Highly recommend.

Rating purely based on the cookies brought home to me. These cookies were surprisingly…read morescrumptious! They are dense and chewy cookies (my favorite type!) and also thick. :D Biscoff cookie (4.5/5)-- this one made me a fan! The cookie was sweet with pockets of Biscoff spread inside. Great for any Biscoff lover! The quality control isn't the best though, as the second time I had the cookie, it was dry and crumbly. If the cookie is usually dry like that, it would be more of a 3/5. I would risk another try though! Cookies and cream (4/5)-- this one was a good cookie too, capturing all the essence of an Oreo flavor. It didn't stand out in uniqueness but it was yummy :) this one was a little harder and crumblier than the Biscoff cookie, but now I wonder if it was just old or dried out... Pistachio brittle/toffee cookie (3/5)-- wasn't a fan of this one, as the taste was a bit off (either a little bitter or maybe artificial tasting?) and the brittle chunks were super hard, super sweet , and super sticky (like butterfinger filling but less melty!). The chunks were tasty (and veryyy sweet), but I had to pick them out and eat the separately since it didn't pair well with the cookie texture for me. MT says the service has always been nice, and they seemed really happy when he bought whole load of cookies, hehe~ Katie's Cafe is one of the go-to spots for his lunches out there!
