everything was great. we can't wait to go back. the pot pie was really good but the burger stole the show. Service and ambiance was one of a kind given the historic building. read more

The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. It was a wonderful place to enjoy a great meal. The service was impeccable, and I absolutely loved the atmosphere and overall environment. My burger was so good that I could hardly put it down--I enjoyed every bite. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area. Thank you so much, Katy O'Ferrell's Publick House, for a fantastic experience! read more

The food was delicious! Especially the chicken stuffed boxty. So so good. We had a great server and loved the Irish Stuffed Mushroom appetizer. It has a kick to it!! If you don't like spicy I wouldn't recommend it. Luckily, I like spicy. The Shepard pie is delicious. The Guinness stew was good, but not enough Guinness flavor for me I love the vibe and architecture of the old building. However, I think the dollar bills all over the walls takes away from the charm. Overall, loved everything we tried and want to go back and try the bread pudding. Didn't leave room for dessert this time around. Yum! read more

Awesome spot with great food and service with the perfect Irish pub atmosphere. Just need a piano on the corner with a guy playing some good Irish tunes. read more

What a hidden gem! What you would assume (from the outside and name) is a typical Irish bar turns out to be one of the coolest places in downtown cape! Stopped by on a Friday afternoon so it wasn't overly busy or crowded, which was nice. The bartender handled the bar area and entire dining room with fantastic and attentive service! Beer/Drink menu is great- the Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita was phenomenal. To cap the afternoon we enjoyed a couple pickle shots before leaving! The atmosphere is really neat with dollar bills lining the wall from guests and different seating areas. Very neat! read more

The food, server (Grace is a gem), seating were great. Had the lasagna soup (so good), Celtic pot pie (delicious) and fried catfish (light, sweet, perfectly cooked). Washed it all down with a Smithwicks (or 2). The restaurant's environment is very cool. read more

We visited this Cape Girardeau favorite on a Wednesday for lunch. Service was quick to take our beverage order. I had not visited here since 2016 so I was pleased to find that Shepherds Pie was still on the menu. My friend had never eaten this dish and I wanted to introduce it to her. This is a University place so I am much older than most of the guests. I explained to her that this dish requires a good bit of preparation time. So we had quiet conversation while we waited for it to arrive. It's worth the wait. It is served in a crock with a side of baby carrots. The mashed potato topping was nicely browned warning us that what was underneath it was quite hot. The meat was tender and the gravy delicious. It's comfort food the way I like it. We will be back. read more

Came to Cape Girardeau for the eclipse in April. Katy O'Ferrell's was recommended as a place to have dinner. I had the "Dirn Burger" and my wife hade the Shepherds Pie. Both were delicious. We also tried the potato pancakes with sour cream and green onions--very, very good. Our server, Jack was great. I always try a local beer when traveling and he recommended the houseo made Katy's Irish Red. Not bad at all--i gave it a 3.75/5.0. It is smooth, with a little bit of maltiness and a small amount of bitterness. My wife had the "Relaxer" drink and said it was great . One other thing: While downtown we decided to walk around. Wow! Caper Girardeau has a phenomenal downtown area---the kind of downtown you used to see everywhere 40 years ago. Lots of shops and sculptures and green space. Very nice sidewalks for easy walking. It is impressive for a town of about forty thousand people. The ambiance is just like a local Irish pub...a little loud but we could have a conversation--no problem. read more

Okay so the sampler is pretty good but the fish looked translucent and rubbery and really weird worst fish n chips I've ever had I don't know about the other menu items but I used to work in meat and I know when meat is bad and this was disgusting. I'm really scared of what I did it I couldn't finish it all because I was scared of getting sick. read more

Absolutely fantastic service was fantastic. Food was amazing atmosphere wonderful can't recommend it enough.

My wife (in progress) and I visited this gorgeous little pub in downtown cape- a place i've been wanting to go for years. we were very satisfied with this decision. we got the mac n cheese bites- now i'm a person who hates mac n cheese bites but these were amazing. we also got the caesar salad and it was absolutely scrumptious. we both hate it when a caesar is too anchovy-heavy and for those who are the same you will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent food, prompt and efficient service. Ambiance of the made me realize where I must celebrate St Patrick's Day next year!!‍

One of my favorite places to go to relax and have a nice drink! Such a fun and unique atmosphere! Dollar bill galore all over the way with so many signatures! Plus the food is delicious, not a single bad thing on the menu! Highly recommend read more

I am not positive that I tagged the correct menu item, I am positive that Champ means mashed potatoes, I had to ask. Since I'm trying to behave and stay low carb this week, I switched the champ for the seasonal veggies and it was delightful. The cabbage and veggies all had a fantastic flavor and seasoning. Service was above par and the drinks were strong. Definitely stop here if you are on Cape! Great vibes also, they have stuff all over the walls, so much to look at! read more

Stopped in here for a quick drink after work and had a great experience! The bartender was super friendly, let us know of the specials for the night and that two for one drinks started at 9pm! Talk about a deal! We stayed for around an hour and enjoyed the sports on their TV's, the fantastic music selection, and the ambiance. The coolest thing about this place is the way that it's decorated! It really feels like you were dropped into the middle of an Irish pub. They also have a TON of signed dollar bills all along the bar that were fun to look at while you sipped your drink. Loved this place! read more

Erin go here! What a great little Irish Pub! We are here after having the first Covid-19 shot. I had the ruben sandwich and it was spot on! Tasty. We'll be back! read more

Another excellent experience at Katy's with my best friend here in Cape! We started out with the Boxty, which was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and seasoned well, served with sour cream. My entree was the two piece fish and chips. The fish was served hot and well prepared with a delicious beer battered coating on a good size piece of cod. I had the planks instead of the chips and they were cooked well but could have been seasoned more. But they were still good. Our server, Valerie M, was spot on and friendly. She helped me negotiate the whiskey menu to get the best shot for me. Always glad to get back to Cape and have a meal at Katy's! Highly recommended! read more

disappointed but McGuire in Pensacola is better and I want Irish Music what's the deal felt food was lukewarm fries couldn't finish eating high price for flat food read more

We got the corn beef stuffed mushrooms and they were amazing. Skip the Boxtys and go straight for the bread pudding. The service was great and the staff super friendly. You should stop by here for a pint the next time you're in Cape. read more

My husband and I loved this restaurant! The atmosphere was really neat, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious! We started with the Irish Boxtys for an appetizer. We each had the pick two with Guinness stew. My husband had the half reuben and I the half hot roast beef and Swiss. They were both top notch. There are dollar bills pinned to the walls all over the restaurant. We asked about the back story. Our waiter told us the woman who started the place, Katy O'Ferrell, said that anyone who pinned a dollar with their name or a note (I think name and a note) owns a little part of the restaurant. Just a very cool vibe!! We will definitely be back. read more

Slow service but good food with interesting menu selections. The pot pie I chose in its puff pastry tasted freshly made. It's an interesting place in an excellent location. read more

Incredible food! The taste is on point. Only cons are wait time and pricing. The ambiance is perfect for a pub and the music makes you feel right at home. This area of Cape Girardeau is fantastic for a restaurant like this. I would recommend you trying it out, just be prepared to reach a little deeper than normal into the pocket book. read more

Really wanted to like this place. The interior exterior is very cool and fun. Unfortunately the food and service were spotty. The bangers and mash included a sausage that I am fairly certain was left over from St Pattys day the week before, and the baby carrots appeared to be straight from a bag at Walmart. Would say 5 stars for a bevg and hanging out watch a game but would stick with pub apps if ordering food read more

The service and ambiance has always been great, cold beer & friendly staff. We had the sampler appetizer. Pretty much everything on there is deep fried and it came out cold. The lobster wontons were so overcooked, the outside was hard as a rock and the inside cold. The whole dish was disappointing. We were never asked how the food was, so we paid and left. Meals here have been hit and miss multiple times. Doubtful that we will go back for food again. read more

Number 2 in steak in this area. Pilot house is good, but not for steak. This place has quick service and it is just a great atmosphere!

Food was delicious, service was great, we had a large party and had no issues at all with accommodations. Glasses were refilled on time, food was delivered together in a timely fashion. I will go back read more

Sitting in a booth waiting for steaks to arrive and they did not disappoint. They came with a sweet Jameson glaze. Not normally what I'd want, but it was the perfect compliment to the beef. Didn't offer us a steak knife but we didn't need one! The steak fries were interesting and spicy but in a good way and came with a southwest dipping sauce that again was a great pair. Topped it off with Irish coffee because "when in Rome!" Goooo! read more

Great atmosphere and good service. It has pub side by the bar a dinning room area. I ate across from the bar tables. I ordered the pick two which was 1/2 roast beef and cup of Sheppards pie. So good I ordered another cup of Sheppards pie. A must see of all the Irish decor. read more

This is the worst food I've ever had at an Irish pub. I ordered fish and chips and took one bite and I'm still not sure was on my plate but it didn't taste like any fish I've ever had. The waitress took my plate without even asking why I hadn't eaten any of the food and therefore I paid my bill and said nothing else as it was clear they didn't care their food was inedible. I would highly recommend going to any other restaurant in Cape Girardeau before here. read more

Great food and service. Will return when visiting the area. Visited during lunch with 3 small children ranging in age from 6months to 6 years and experience was pleasant. read more

What a great little place! We stumbled upon it when visiting Cape for the day. Cozy and inviting inside...love the lights decorating the bar area. Husband had Reuben sandwich and I had grilled chicken sandwich--both very yummy! They did a great job distancing the dine-in guests! The signage for the restrooms is funny...be sure to read the small print before entering!! LOL!! Would definitely visit again!! read more
