Party of seven and all gave two thumbs up!! The chef was kind enough to come out and help me find something that fit within my food restrictions. I had the shrimp stuffed chicken breast. It was amazing! I would highly recommend. Others of my party had jambalaya rice and beans and pastas. All excellent. When in Ferguson you have to try Cathy's Kitchen. read more

Food was cooked to order, good and restaurant was very clean. I recommend Cathy's kitchen. You won't be disappointed

Upon walking into this nice little diner I was greeting with the most amazing smells of deep southern seasonings. My mouth instantly watered and I asked the wait staff what I was smelling. Must be the "Friday Special" was the response. I promptly ordered it in spite of it being Tuesday. It consists of fried catfish, wings, and shrimp. The catfish is amazing and I'd go daily if I lived here. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Food was wonderful, Cathy was right there to explain how to place our orders. Everyone was very friendly.

Excellent restaurant which is the centerpiece for culinary in STL. The food was awesome and all my seafood, chicken tasted similar to the best from each region. I thought we were in New Orleans after trying the gumbo, red beans rice & barbecued corn! This is my go-to spot for seafood & regional dishes. The service was remarkable & very customer-focused. Plus, I can sample wine next door at the Midwest wine bar since all the food is cooked to order :) read more

Great food with tons of flavor! I traveled six hours just to give it a try and it was everything! Had the chance to meet Cathy and her crew and they made us feel right at home! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

Usually worried about a place that has such a wide variety of food options. But I was wrong. This place was delicious. Italian beef, Alfredo, salads, hot dog, and the banana pudding all hit. Loved this place. read more

Go here. The food is excellent! My family stopped in for lunch on New Year's Eve, and we were served by Cathy and her husband since they had given their staff the day off. The kitchen is open, and you can choose to sit at the counter where you can see your food being prepared. The special that day was wings and shrimp (both fried) with coleslaw. The breading is Cathy's own recipe, and it is amazing! Even the coleslaw was some of the best I've had. My husband ordered the po'boy -- yum!! My daughter had pasta and absolutely loved it. The menu features favorites from several cities in the US which provides a good variety. The atmosphere is a casual diner style. Love it! We'll be back! read more

We went memorial weekend and it was lots of people waiting for food for over 30 minutes. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits but the fried chicken was a no for me and they forgot the sauce. Luckily we were next door having wine and could go back and grab it. read more

Today was my first visit and last visit to this establishment. I only ordered Vegan Tacos, 3 came to an order. Myself and a co worker ordered the same thing only difference is, she had fries with hers. The tacos were soft and soggy. The taste was just not appealing to my taste buds. We both were so disappointed with our food. How do you mess up veggies, not sure but I'll will not go back. Totally disappointed. We end up wasting money and throwing them in the garbage. read more

Amazing food just like Mom used to make... if your Mom could cook. Lol They're also super friendly and it's a just a great little place to stop in when you're in the mood for good food without all the pretentiousness and fuss of some other local eateries. read more

Great restaurant with upbeat delightful and delicious food. Cathy's Kitchen has a great staff that treats you as if you were family- thankful they're still serving great meals through this pandemic. Cathy greats you with a smile and everyone always makes you feel welcomed. Stop here lunch time or dinner time read more

Cathy's was just alright. It used to be so much better, until they got the ordering machines. I am not a fan anymore.

I went to Cathy's today and spent $34 on the shrimp and chicken combo which I could have sworn came with fries but I received about 2 tablespoons of cole slaw. I also purchased the red beans and rice and a pop. The food was not fresh. In addition the shrimp and chicken seemed like it may have been prepared in oil that needed to be changed. Also, the only water available was by purchase. I've never had that experience before. I was really disappointed because my sister had told me that this was a great place to eat and we both try to support businesses in our community. I saw the owner and wanted to speak with her but she was already having a tough day because the health inspector was visiting. It wasn't horrible but definitely sub par. I won't be going back. The staff was friendly. read more

I placed an order over the phone on 3/26/22 and paid $60 something dollars. They stated the order will be ready in 30 min. I arrived before 30 min and picked the order up. Arrived to my sister house she stays in Jennings which is maybe 15 min. We opened up the containers and the salad was loaded with smushy chicken and big leaves that needed to be cut down. Open up my chicken boxes and everything sweated and was wet and mushy from heat been inside the boxes. You would think they would of poked holes in the box to let the excessive heat out. The shrimp was over cooked and dried out. I have been here several times and dined in and it was great but order a to go order is a no go read more

Several folks have recommended this place to me over the years, but WOW! The Cajun Seafood Macaroni was literally one of the best meals I've had in years. The servings are big, the seasoning was perfect, and the staff was helpful and friendly. Make sure to get the banana pudding cake, too--so worth it! read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. The menu is a little eclectic. It's broken down into St Louis, Memphis and New Orleans. Vast variety from Memphis Gumbo to Pork Nachos and a Slinger to Shrimp n grits. Everything was fresh and seasoned perfectly. They had a nice selection of desserts but we did not save room! Carmel cake, pecan pie and a banana pudding cake. Will definitely try on my next visit. read more

What a hidden gem! Fantastic cafe for Cajun and American cuisine comfort food. Relaxed and happy staff and atmosphere made this experience even more enjoyable. Not far from I-70 , located conveniently in the Ferguson business district on North Florissant with bars, grocery stores and other businesses of interest to travelers. Large portions and fair pricing reflect the 50s cafe interior. Don't pass on this eatery! read more

As promised I'm back to give my review after finally trying food from Cathy's Kitchen.....welp I'm not impressed at all and the food is mediocre at best. I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta and it was delivered by GrubHub. I took a couple of bites and noticed it was rather greasy and opted to not eat it because it was getting late and I didn't want grease sitting on my stomach while I slept. Next day I heated the dish up on the stove top (I never heat my food in the microwave) and as it cooked grease started to pool around the skillet. I poured the grease off and was astonished to see I poured off a 1/2 cup of grease. Why do you need so much grease to cook the pasta??? I gave it a galant effort but Cathy's Kitchen is not my cup of tea, but I wish then all the best. read more

Finally found the Best Shrimp & Grits in town! I'm sure everyone else will agree with me on this. My coworker insisted on me trying this spot bc I'm always trying new foods at various places. I must say this dish definitely was worth it. Jumbo shrimp, small shrimp, scallops, chicken, spicy sausage, bacon, cheese grits, green onions & the gumbo gravy topped it off! Will be back for more & to try their other dishes. read more

We stopped at Cathy's for lunch while in Ferguson for a meeting. What a find! There was ample parking behind the building. We were greeting by the friendly staff immediately upon entering. I love that the menu is inspired by their travels across the US. For my lunch, I just had to order the new catfish platter. I had noticed Cajun fries on the menu and asked if they came with the catfish. They did not, but the server offered to have them put some Cajun seasoning on the fries for me. Now, being a southerner I am very picky on my catfish...it's often way over fried and dry. Cathy's catfish is simply amazing. This is seriously the best fried catfish I've had while living in St. Louis. The breading was cornmeal based just like back home and was not too heavy. It had a great flavor with a hint of spiciness. Crispy on the outside while moist and flaky on the inside. Perfect! The fries were also a hit with the added Cajun seasoning. The plate was loaded so full of tasty catfish pieces that I had to get a To Go box. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Overall a fantastic experience. You will notice that there is a wall of photos in the back of all the celebrities that have stopped in for a bite...it's clear why after eating there. I will definitely be going back to Cathy's to try more of the delicious menu soon! read more

Always have the very best food when I have a taste for Cathy's Kitchen great food on the menu such a huge menu to choose from

I love a shrimp poboy and this place has it. We also got the Memphis Gumbo and some fried bbq corn on the cob. The corn was like candy that was caramelized and had just that right amount of spice to it and the little kernels popped between your teeth like boba - delightful! The sandwich was beautiful. It looks like the pictures! It's an edible work of art that has a perfect crispiness to the breading and sits on a fresh bed of veggies on a sweet toasted roll. My only problem was trying to take the first bite, because this is not a sandwich for those that demure from wearing a little dressing in their mustache - my mustache lost and I couldn't be happier about it. We also got the Memphis Gumbo, which has shrimp (big ones), scallops, turkey, sausage, and comes as a picturesque, serene cove of spices and flavors around an island of rice. I don't eat meat, but I did give this a go, because it was irresistible - and it was worth it. Speaking of, if you are a vegetarian or vegan, there is a respectable menu to chose from that is specifically vegetarian and vegan - try the jambalaya. This is a cute diner in a great location, with plenty of parking. The staff clearly like the place. The folks there were genuinely excited to have customers that hadn't been there before and knew their menu very well and were happy to help me make some difficult decisions. I love it! Do yourself a favor and EAT HERE - I sure plan to. read more

Great service and tasty food! So many choices...might be too many for some, but it's organized well so it's easy to read. I was pleased with the gumbo because it wasn't super spicy. It was packed with flavor though! And the shrimp and artichoke crostini was yummy as well. I also had swii and I'm not sure I've seen this fish in other restaurants. But I'm glad I got to try it! By 5pm the pies had sold out *sad face* but there was one more piece of apple left so I was given a discount on it b/c the last piece is always the runt/one no one wanted :) It tasted just fine to me though! read more

I just had thee best Po-boy sandwich ever. I always want the shrimp grilled instead of fried and usually no one will do it. Everything was really good, especially the tarter sauce, cheese sauce, and grill shrimp. read more

Walked in and was unpleasantly surprised because there were no waiters or waitresses, nothing is ordered directly but via electronic devices. I certainly respect modern technology, however, the experience lacked genuine hospitality. It might as well be a drive-through. read more

Great food and atmosphere. My go to is the Thursday special. I also love the gumbo and red beans and rice.

Cathys is GREAT! They are close, and have a good menu! The kitchen team is always willing to deal with our substitutions to their Cajun Seafood Mac n' cheese (seafood allergy so they sub with delicious chicken for us!) and staff is always friendly. We always end up very full, and very satisfied. If you're looking for "healthy" food, this place ain't it, there's a decent amount of oil (and love!) in every serving. But if you are trying to have some comfort and a full belly - you have to stop by! read more

5 stars isn't enough, the hospitality the energy, Cathy, the Food !!!!!! Everything was great, i was bouncing in my seat i can't remember the last time i went to a restaurant and genuinely enjoyed my meal everything was DELICIOUS.

I hate i didn't get pictures, it was that good but next time . read more

It was decent food, but expensive. Also loud music piped in and it was cold in the restaurant.

This is a little hidden gem in Ferguson. The theme is cities along Route 66, and the decor and menu reflect that! The room is kind of small, but super cozy! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful if you have any questions. The food is full of amazing flavors and because the theme is different cities in the US, there's something for everyone!
