It's been years since I've looked for a breakfast spot downtown and Kate's was the perfect place. I loved how they offer home cooked food options as a grab and go. The service was fast and friendly. They do an amazing job serving people who work downtown while keeping everything affordable. read more

Kat’s Breakfast & Lunch - French toast platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

10/10!!! Great food and great customer service! I went in this morning, after researching "breakfast near me" on google, I was way too lazy to make breakfast myself and really wanted a diner like omelet. It was my first time, so finding KAT'S was a little different since it's inside an office building , I kinda wish they had an off street entrance but either way the front desk lead me to the right spot. First off the customer service is awesome! As soon as I walked in I was immediately greeted by staff, it's an open kitchen style diner so everyone can see you walk in, the young lady at the register was so sweet and my breakfast was literally ready not even ten minutes after I sat down to wait. Now the FOOD!! I ordered a meat omelet with home fries and a coffee, the meat omelet was very filling but not too much, definitely a nice balance of everything (bacon,ham,sausage,cheese). The home fries were more square potatoes but still very well seasoned and not bland at all. I'm so excited to finally find a breakfast spot near me, less than five minutes away that's actually what I've been looking for! Needless to say yall will be seeing be again on one of my lazy mornings! read more

Love this place so so much! I'm so sad that I only found it weeks before moving out of richmond. They are located inside of a building which was a bit confusing but not too hard to find since it's right at the corner once you walk in. The workers were super sweet and helpful, especially (I assume) the owner who recommended some items for my boyfriend and I since we're first timers. The inside was small but just enough and the customers all seemed to be regulars who adore this place as well! I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the french toast platter special. The two of those with an iced tea were only around $25!? The food came out relatively fast and to my surprise, HUGE. The chicken pesto sandwich was super juicy and flavorful! I was worried the ciabatta would be too hard to chew but bread was also very soft. The french toast platter also took me by surprise. The french toast platter came with 2 eggs, 2 choices of meat, and 2 french toasts. The eggs were a bit greasy in my opinion but the french toast was amazing. I've had many french toast and this was one of the best in RVA that i've had! It was super flavorful-- you could taste the cinnamon, vanilla, AND it wasn't soggy. So sad I found this place so late but will def be back if i'm ever in the area! read more

The place is okay, but definitely not worth a second visit. They charge an extra $1.25 per item that has eggs in it, eggs have come down over 70% in price, so no excuse. You don't want to eat undercooked eggs, but cooking the omelet until it's brown is ridiculous, service seemed friendly, but was with attitude, they were not busy when I was there, and as others said, the tables were greasy.its a small place inside a downtown high rise, but adequate as it appeared most of their business was to go. If they don't keep the public area clean, it leads to wonder what the cleanliness of the prep and food areas are. I personally will not eat here again, there are plenty of other places close by to choose from. read more

Just a consistently fantastic somewhat-hidden gem. Whenever we're in Richmond, we stop in for some breakfast sandwiches. Can't beat the food for the price and speed! Plus, the folks are always super friendly, which is hard to find in this day and age. read more

Kat's on the SE corner is chill, no nonsense and not going to hurt the wallet. Order at the counter and enjoy the low key atmosphere.

Delicious breakfast with very reasonable prices. Very friendly environment. Kid friendly!

The customer service here is top notch. Genuinely impressed with how welcoming and kind these folks are- so much so, this is the only place I'll venture for breakfast while I'm working in Richmond from now on. I've only had the bacon, egg and cheese croissant and breakfast potatoes but they're by far the best I've had in a really long time. Extra points for how well kept the restaurant is. 10/10 across the board. read more

Laborious service for small restaurant. Zero ambience and greasy tables. Good for take out if not in a rush

We got here just before the lunch rush. All of the workers were very welcoming and friendly. The food was really good, although I would've liked a little more crunch on my shrimp po boy and a little less seasoning on my Cajun fries. Nevertheless, it was a positive dining experience. read more

This place has the best hotdog outside of Nathan's in New York City. I wish I could source the franks that they serve up. I'm definitely going back for one. The counter is self serve which is fine. The vibe is cafeteria and makes no claims otherwise. read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a weekday morning. It's s little tricky to find, tucked inside of an office building. There is no direct exterior entrance. Cafe style interior was clean, bright and decorated with amusing animal artwork. My family enjoyed the French toast, monte Cristo and a breakfast taco special. Everything tasted great and came out pretty quickly. The monte cristo was such a neat sandwich, I should have taken a pic. Staff was friendly, place had a good vibe. Pricing not unreasonable for a city. Only downside was no chocolate milk for my son. Within walking distance of major downtown hotels, I consider it a must stop for breakfast while in Richmond. read more

The breakfast sandwiches were really good. The home fries had a lot of flavor and yummy. The space is small but very welcoming. They are fast to get you your order! I was not a fan of the cheese grits but it may be just they way they are made here. Overall would come back!! read more

I'd had a very busy morning and was in the city and decided to Google a few options for breakfast. I saw KATs being close to my location. I called to place an order for pick up. I ordered the 701 combo and I swapped the bacon for scrambled eggs and of course I added cheese! First of all the sourdough french toast was better than I could have imagined. The right amount of chew and tenderness with every bite. It was dusted with powdered sugar but I had some hazelnut spread at home that I added to it and LAWD HAVE MERCY, BUSSIN' LOL The fried apples were a nice treat and complemented the french toast as well. Simply seasoned and cooked very nicely. I also had a side of home fries, they were okay too. I was satisfied overall. They offer a vast sauce selection too! Catch them M-F because these KATs are closed on weekends! KATs is a small cafe style place. It's located on the first floor nside the building at 701 E Franklin, not at all hard to find! read more

Came in just behind a crowd so we had a short wait but the staff were very friendly and the place is bright and clean. The breakfast options are excellent; I envy the office staff in the building. We tried the Breakfast Lunch burger, Cajun fries, cheese grits, Apple Butter Melt, and Breakfast Cristo. Everything tasted excellent. I loved the Cristo and my sons worked their way down the hot sauce wall as we ate our food. If you forced me to complain about something the worst I could say would be: the bun on the Breakfast Lunch burger couldn't stand up to its epic contents and had to be polished off with fork and knife. read more

The food is fantastic, the owner and team are amazing, and the prices are great. It's a very comfortable and homy atmosphere right in Downtown Richmond. If there were more than 5 stars for a rating, Kat's would earn it. One thing that blows me away is the level of customizations you can have. Whether its getting a fried egg on a burger or customizing an omelet, the friendly team at Kat's has you covered. read more

Most yummy food! Me and the husband shared food. The french toast is as good as the best this old lady has even. The gravy biscuit had its own unique fresh herb deliciousness. Over easy eggs eere cooked perfect and you must have the spiced apples. I was expecting something out of the can or something soaked in syrup too sweet to eat. These are perfect and not overly sugared up. We was there on a week and got a window seat. Nice peaceful atmosphere with peaceful music and friendly dtaff. Can't recommend enough read more
