    French toast platter
    Bombshell B.

    Food -potatoes was so yummy , eggs wasn't good, French toast was good , grits was good ,bacon was cold and not crispy Service was good for the most part Ambiance was clean and comfortable

    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!

    Fun little breakfast/ lunch spot tucked away in the lobby of an office building in downtown Richmond. The staff is super friendly, it's a family run operation. I loved everything in order. Biscuit was nice and flaky. French toast with apples was a Great combo

    French Toast Platter
    Caitlin R.

    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!

    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.

    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. Smiles and a walk through to ensure the folks are sated shows they care. 3 egg vegetable omelette (sauce it up with large hot sauce selection) add home fries and a drink + tip for less than $15. I'm full and I'll be back.

    Cajun fries (so crispy) and the grilled cheese ($4!) with added ham ($1.25) on a croissant. Simple but *chefs kiss*.
    P.K. S.

    I don't know how I've been missing out on this place! Simple breakfast and lunchtime options yet SO tasty and filling! Inexpensive, fast, hot meals and the staff make you feel at home. Takeout and sit down (cafeteria/tray style) service were both quick. Also, when I saw the wide array of hot sauces lined up, I knew this place was gonna be a fave of mine. I can't wait to come back!

    Came in this morning wanting a omelette. Ordered the meats omelette with a side of bacon. The service was friendly and quick. The food was hot and delicious. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town.

    Breakfast potatoes and bacon,egg and cheese croissant
    Dom F.

    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.

    Breakfast cristo sandwich with home fries
    Beth E.

    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!!

    We arrived here about 45 minutes before close on a Thursday night, and parking was slim pickings,…read morebut we managed to snag a reasonably close spot. We were surprised by the size of the restaurant when we walked in. It seems smaller from the outside; not that it was huge, just deceiving. It reminded me of a homey Jason's Deli (IYKYK). The woman at the counter was helpful and kind. We had a few questions about some items on the menu, and she asked the kitchen staff anything that she didn't know offhand. We decided on the fried cauliflower for an appetizer; it was monstrously huge, and much more flavorful than I expected. The spices and textures on the plate added a lot to the dish's overall essence. I ordered the Rachel for an entree, and my partner ordered the Sharona. I subbed the chips for a side salad. The salad was tangy or tart, almost bitter. I didn't mind; I thought it was quite good. It is a lot of acidity if you are not expecting it. The Rachel was fantastic, except that the coleslaw had some onion bits mixed in. We are not onion fans in this household. Ha The Sharona would have been a better choice, as I much prefer pickles to oniony coleslaw. My partner said she really liked hers. We had half a sandwich each for leftovers the next day, and shared the leftover chips, since I finished off my salad the night before. The sandwiches heated up exquisitely in the oven at 325°F for 15 minutes. I felt that Susie's is a definite hidden gem, and I can recommend it to anyone who likes a well-made sandwich. I will be back to sample more of the menu and report back my findings at a future date.

    Tl;dr: mandatory 15% "tip" *for takeout* with no warning until the post-order payment iPad…read more The food wasn't good or bad enough to leave a review but to have no mention of a bogus 15% mandatory fee is shady business. No signage, not detailed on the menu, just an ambush once you've placed your order. It's a bs fee to begin with, but concealing it until the last minute is unethical. I'm guessing it will catch up with y'all as these sorts of sketchy business practices often do.

    Look, c'mere lemmie tell you something .... The way I ate that sandwich was OBSCENE . The next time…read moreI get one I'm gonna have to eat it under a sheet to hide my shame. It was a weekday after work. I went to my homegirl's house because I missed her birthday I offered to take her out someplace nice. She said no way man and immediately said we were going to this sandwich shop. This was the only thing she wanted. So we were gonna veg out on her couch. Have a couple cocktails and whatever else and watch something on TV. And her new couch is the bees knees. For me, the sandwich was perfect. The bread was beautiful and crusty. I was afraid it was going to be toasted and too crusty, and I'd be fighting to bite it and my sandwich guts spilling out while cutting up my gums and the roof of my mouth like it's Captain crunch or something.. BUT NO! It was PERFECT to bite through. They load you up with the meat they're not stingy. And the sauces... BABY! The aïoli was fantastic. My only beef is that horseradish aioli needed a little bit more of a kick, but that's a personal problem. My friend got the chicken Caesar and I see why it's popular. It is so garlicky and delicious. I already have plans on what I'm gonna get next time I go and I don't live close so it's gonna take a special trip and I intend to make it.

It's a small little place so eating in isn't really the vibe especially not with a group. I have a few gripes, not related to the taste of the food. 1. You aren't able to remove things when you order online (I hate arugula). 2. They don't have fries 3. They have utz chips

First...bread soft but "sturdy" enough to handle the other half being wrapped up and eaten the next day! It's a lot of food!

The servers were also tending the bar which was getting decent traffic even at lunchtime. My dining partner says there is a pool table in a back room, and that could be fun to fold into a longer visit. The piped in music was light jazz. The menu is oriented around philly cheesesteaks and variations. I ordered the chicken philly, which was large enough to make two lunches (I brought half home.) The flavor was decent, with seasoned or marinated chicken chunks and veggies & cheese on a sturdy roll. It came with a decent serving of chips. We were served a juice glass of room temp water on arrival and no drink order was taken. Negatives were related to pacing. It took a lot of time for the food to come out. We were pushed to eat even half of our sandwiches within the hour my dining partner had for lunch. The server did not check back after dropping the plates, which could have been an issue if we needed more water. And getting the check was a challenge that took way too long considering how small the place is. This is a decent place to grab a sandwich or a drink if you have the time or live in the neighborhood.

They're tucked inside the Market on Meadow store, which I thought was new, but they've actually been there for about three years. The owner recently bought the building and plans to rebrand since they're now the only vendor there. Even better, they're opening a second location at Harrison and Grace St. soon! I ordered the Soprano sub, and it was absolutely incredible. It comes loaded with hot soppressata, capicola, ham, sharp provolone, arugula, olive salad, red onion, vinaigrette, and mayo on fresh bread. I added sweet peppers and banana peppers for a little extra punch, and it was a great choice. The flavors were perfectly balanced--the salty meats paired beautifully with the tangy olive salad and sharp provolone, while the vinaigrette and mayo brought everything together. The bread was amazing--crusty on the outside, soft on the inside--and it turns out they get it from New York City! The owner is such a nice guy, and we ended up chatting for a while about his bread sourcing and plans for the business. You can tell he's passionate about what he does, and it really comes through in the food. Polpetti is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it gets. Whether you're a sandwich aficionado or just looking for a great meal, this spot is worth the visit. I can't wait to come back and try more--and to check out their new location when it opens!
