    Little honcho
    Evelyn D.

    When you have eaten hotel breakfast for a week and need something different, but didn't want to go far, this place seemed to fit. This is pure cafeteria style, And busy with local workers. Went with eggs grits and biscuit. The eggs were were decent a little soft towards the bottom of the pile and definitely need more salt and pepper. The grits were OK, little on the runny side but very good. The biscuit actually looked homemade, it was quite tasty. Have not yet gained an appreciation for coffee in the city so it was only fair in my opinion. And for the cost it's a good value

    3.5 stars. The service is cafeteria-style, and the food is... well, calling it cafeteria-level would be insulting, but but it's not going to impress anyone. But for a restaurant within walking distance to City Hall and the Superdome, with such reasonable - almost cheap - prices, it's hard to complain. And I haven't tried them for lunch yet; maybe that will raise my score.

    Very nice breakfast spot that I walked to from the Hyatt where I was staying at quicker more efficient service.. I had eggs, bacon, grits, and a fresh toasted muffin. It was all very good, but not great. But the value was excellent for downtown New Orleans.

    To say I visit this place often is an understatement. I work near by so I'm always there. Whether it's for a cup of coffee in the morning, breakfast, lunch or something sweet you can find it at Catty's Corner. Do not let the lines discourage you, they move super fast. It's cafeteria style food but it's always tasty. Great place to go if you're in the CBD area. Prices are reasonable and food is great, what's not to love?! Also, the owners are very nice and personable.

    Chicken

    It was so good, I went back a second day. The catfish was excellent. I hate collard greens but I like these ones. The mac & cheese is mac & cheese and it's pretty good. The chicken was really good. You're not gonna lose weight at this place. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable, the only downside is that it's only open for lunch. I went back the next day and got a plate full of ribs and they were excellent.

    We were at an event at the Hyatt and decided to get at Catty. There was a line becuase its lunch time in the city, but the line moved quickly. The food was definitely worth it, tasted like it was straight from Momma's kitchen. The baked chicken, cabbage, the gumbo, the mashed potatoes (that was no box), even the club sandwich was good with that little crunch on the end of the toast. Oh wait that yams!!! With a little marshmallows melted on top... This is definitely a place to return to!

    Club sandwich and fries

    Go to spot when I don't bring my lunch to work. They always have an array of options. You can get a hot meal, salad, sandwich; the possibilities are endless. Personable staff; most know the customers by name. You can get your food to go or sit down and eat. Prices are reasonable as well.

    Ribs, cauliflower and cabbage! Yum!
    Lindsey B.

    So never been here before but the came twice in 2 days! Lol! First day got the ribs, cabbage and cauliflower! The vegetables are delicious! I could have just eaten that! The ribs were good, one was better than the other, the other one was a little chewy, but still tasted good. Second day, got the chicken salad on croissant, gumbo and some chips. I love me some delicious chicken salad! I ate all of it and wanted more! I'll definitely be back. Service was great and quick and everyone's super nice. Huge menu so you could probably go every day of the week and get something different!

    Decent quick serve cafe in the heart of the business district. The breakfast options were affordable and quick. Plenty of options for lunch including daily specials from the hot bar. It will get very busy at lunch time due to the surrounding office buildings so be prepared.

    GUMBO GUMBO!!!
    Ticha B.

    Fast food...plenty of seating and fast service (no waiter)...good food and cheap. It's your usual business area fast food lunch time restaurant. I had the seafood jambalaya....really good and it wasn't too salty!!! If you're in a hurry for lunch from work...it's a place to go grub at!!! Serve yourself!

    Food was amazing. Fried Catfish cooked to order. Well worth the six minute wait for it. I had to wait another three for it to cool down. Perfectly breaded and flaky perfectly cooked catfish. Sides were yummy. I also ordered the Gumbo with Rice. It could have been spicer, but that's why they have sauce you can add. The gumbo was very hearty, lots of sausage and other ingredients. Walked out of this restaurant limping I was so full. Thanks for the excellent service. Your staff was friendly and helpful when I wasn't sure what to order. Definitely coming back and bringing my crew with me

    After a long day of travel to get to NOLA, I was too pooped to go out and hit the streets tonight…read morefor dinner. Ordered DoorDash from HDK on the cred of the many positive Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint. Tried two dishes, as I couldn't settle on one. The fried fish and shrimp were outstanding! Loved the dipping sauce and the seafood was cooked perfectly. The fish fillet was about an inch thick and so moist and flaky. Yum! Not sure I loved the fries with the crawdat sauce - they were a little salty. This ff dish kinda gives poutine vibes with the gravy. The Superdome was also tasty. I liked the fried fish better than the blackened, but the mashed potatoes and corn and sauce draped over the fish was rich and delicious. This fish was much thinner and a little chewy. I'd love a hybrid of Superdome using the thicker fried fish. Bread pudding was my dessert, warm and dripping in caramel/brown sugar sauce. I had to restrain myself from eating the whole thing! This was a perfect way to start my visit to the Big Easy.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed as the entire street had a power outage, but the chef very kindly came out to greet us and let us know what was going on and offered us some complimentary cold water for our trouble. I made sure that my group instead came back on our way out, and everyone raved about their meals and said perhaps it was best that we saved it for last! My Seafood Extravaganza came with a THICK piece of blackened fish, a generous topping of grilled shrimp, and excellently cooked fries topped with that crawfish sauce. My friends loved the grits and dark meat fried chicken in their meals. We all dug in so fast I'm sad to say I didn't take any photos to share! The chef came out once again to chat with us, and it's clear he really appreciates every guest. Heard Dat Kitchen offers the best of both soul food and Creole food under one roof with a good helping of Southern hospitality, and it's absolutely worth a trip or ordering in from the more touristy parts of the city. As our rideshare drivers testified, this is the real deal! Keep in mind it only has counter seating and outdoor picnic tables in a pretty small no-frills spot; I think the service and food definitely deserves to be displayed in a full-service restaurant if that is what the chef ever decides to do.

When you walk in you're greeted and told to get a menu and place your order at the counter. They will bring your food to your table. You pick any available table. That seems to be a thing in NOLA. The place plays contemporary jazz in the background so nice ambiance. They also have TV screens playing sports. I ordered the fried chicken, cabbage and jambalaya. Everything is WELL seasoned! I love seasoned food but this was too much for me. If it was a bit less seasoned I would have enjoyed it more. My wife got the shrimp platter with corn and mac & cheese. She felt her food was good and seasoned well. She wants to go back for lunch. To be fair I'm not a soul food person. It's not my first choice of food since I ate a lot of this food at church.

    Yes! It was yummy…read more We had the fried chicken and rib plates. We also tried almost all their sides. The mac n cheese so yummy and just the right amount of cheese. It was one of the most yummiest mac n cheese, I've tried. We also had the greens that were also yummy but a little salty for my taste, still I would return just to eat those. The corn bread was amazing, I was so happy with the texture, as it was not dry. My husband highly enjoyed the mashed sweet potato, they were his favorite as he enjoys sweets. The fried chicken left me wanting more, however, the ribs were not my favorite although they were tender, and had a good tangy flavor. I should have taken a picture of our plates because there was no leftovers. We had lemonade and the sweetest of teas. Honestly I highly enjoyed our meals The service was amazing, and super friendly. I also took an amazing peach bread pudding to go. The restaurant was golden and welcoming, they even asked if we wanted our table candle lit. Thank you to the ladies at Susie's. It was great.

The bell pepper has shrimp and ground beef in it and taste just like the ones I ate as a kid. Catfish is a must also. Their sides are just ok but still descent. However, I must say that the candied yams are good. This place is a gas station with the food counter in the back of the store. It is a grab and go type place. Parking is limited so you may have to wait until someone moves to park. There are many drink options to choose from like big shot, Fargo, Arizona tea ect. Service is fairly quick but you need to know what you want before you get to the counter because the line moves quickly. Prices get are very reasonable and you get a lot of good for the money.

I'll definitely return for breakfast and snag some grits!
