I ordered the double patty burger adding a 1/2 order of fries and a small chili too. By the way this is a table service restaurant. They say the individual beef hamburger patties are 1/3 lb. but they sure look more like 1/4 lb. in weight to me because they are really thin. You probably want to get two like I did. The burger was tasty and I enjoyed it. Also the french fries are homemade and taste like it. Why can't more restaurants have fries like these rather than the frozen out of the bag kind? The 1/2 order size is large enough for 2 people to share. Finally their chili here is legit. Yummy! There is no doubt that this is a quality burger and fries eatery. Add in the chili and you will be happy when you dine here. My only negative is the price. No combos here so you pay list price for each item. With my double burger, 1/2 order of fries, small chili, drink, tax and tip my lunch was about $30. Yikes!

If you've been looking for fresh, farm-to-table food with organic and gluten-free options, this is your spot. They also have the cutest little trinkets and home decor, along with prepared meals you can grab to take home for the week. We come here at least once a week, and I have never had a bad experience with either the food or the staff. The owner is always coming out to check on everyone and make sure everything is good, which I think says so much about a place. It's truly a pleasure to eat here. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced, and the quality of what you're getting is incredible. Fresh, delicious food made with care--you really can't ask for much more. And DO NOT forget the desserts! Leave room for one, or at least get one to go, because they are absolutely out of this world. Don't pass this little Tomball gem up--you'll regret it! And now I've made myself so hungry writing this review that I'm probably going to have to go tomorrow.

This is an order at the counter, pay in advance, and they give you a little flag with a number on it place. Okay, pet peeve one, I hate tipping in advance, but it is a common kiosk thing now. Pet Peeve 2 all the prices rang up a dollar or two higher than the menu prices. (Soup and sandwich menu price 13 rang up 15) I understand inflation is a thing but if you're going to raise prices, go ahead and hit print on some new menus. It's a short menu, it's only two pages long. Second fact, prepare to wait. Maybe one chef back there hand wrangling each burger or sandwich by hand. Third fact there's about six tables with comfortable chairs and the rest have hard plastic chairs. so if you are coming at a busy time, you aren't going to have a padded seat. Countering these irritations is the fact that the food is actually really really good. It is simple fare, but really well done. The potato soup hovered just on the soup side of the line between potato soup and mashed potatoes, but had fresh crispy bacon and scallions added right before serving. The roast beef sandwich had sliced roast freshly from the oven just for this sandwich. So we got five star food but the rest of the package doesn't add up for me. I'm going to give it four.

This time I tried one of their specials - a soup and sandwich combo for $8.95 - and it completely exceeded expectations. The soup was basically a deconstructed pot pie with a homemade biscuit on top, and the portion was huge. I happened to get the last serving from the pot, so they hooked it up with a little extra instead of letting it go to waste, which I definitely appreciated. What really stood out was how hearty it was. There was way more protein than you'd expect from a typical soup, so it was actually filling and satisfying, not just something light on the side. Definitely a great value for the price.

There was one table with 2 people who were already eating their food and a table of 6 already eating. Then us. The table with 2 people had to keep waving his hand in the air to get his servers attention. Not a good sign. We ordered right away. While we were waiting for our order the servers were putting chairs on the table, mopping, and clean the tables. That is a HUGE GET OUT we want to go home! It took until 1:55pm before we got our food. We ordered breakfast food. The grits were ice cold and had a strange taste, my homestyle potatoes were cold but had a good flavor and my husbands were hot with no flavor. One of my eggs was completely raw. I did not eat the egg or the grits. The French toast was good. The final comment was when we were leaving. All the chairs were on the tables except ours. The server had mopped everywhere around us and mopped the exit. We were praying we did not slip and fall on the way out. (Can you say, super dangerous!)

I ordered the country fried steak, and it was easily one of the biggest ones I've ever seen. Crispy, delicious, and that kind of comfort food that makes you feel like you just walked into somebody's mama's kitchen. My man got the steak omelet, and I'm not even exaggerating when I say it was the BIGGEST omelet I have ever seen! That thing was HUGE! We also tried the fried green tomatoes, hit up the salad bar, and I had the perfectly cooked fries and some absolutely AMAZING fried okra. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and just plain GOOD. But honestly, what really made the experience was the atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The owner and her husband came by and talked with us, and you immediately get that feeling like you're eating at a big ol' family kitchen where everybody knows how to make you feel at home. It's got that "Mama's cooking" kind of feeling... except here, you get to enjoy the meal without having to wash the dishes afterward! Great food, HUGE portions, friendly people, and a genuine country atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! Kitty's Cafe gets two thumbs way up from us!

I can at least say that Mikki was a great server both times and very personable. The major issues this time were with the biscuits and hash browns. I got a western omelette with hash browns and a biscuit, while my mother got eggs Benedict and my father got a ham and cheese omelette. The biscuits are very dry and crumble apart, and because of this none of us were really able to eat them. Our hashbrowns were all different levels of doneness, but all were generally underdone, with my father's being pretty much uncooked and given a general sear. My own were lightly crispy, but the insides were somewhat raw. My mother's were at least almost completely done and had a decent crisp. I can say that at least the omelettes were alright; your standard omelette that you'd expect for a breakfast place to do. I enjoyed my omelette. Again, this place is good! I just don't know what happened this time. Perhaps there's a different chef in the kitchen. Our pancakes and biscuits/gravy from last time were quite tasty, though even then the biscuits were still pretty dry; the gravy helped though. Also, the inside looks absolutely adorable but whoever was managing the music had questionable choices... hard rock at 10 in the morning is a strange choice, even stranger is a bluegrass cover of Thunderstruck by AC/DC. It was all a bit strange and out of character for this restaurant. But I will say that Mikki was the one absolute good part, and I appreciated her service and attentiveness. Perhaps we'll come back again sometime and hopefully our preferred cook will be there.
