Family owned Italian deli with an extensive menu. We were referred here so we got an assortment of food. I wanted to try their salads but forgot. We had beef sandwiches, beef bites, fries, meatloaf dinners, mostaccoli, and meatballs. All were delicious! read more

It's a Togo establishment and I get family owned vibes from it when you walk in. I had the arugula sandwich but with sausage instead of bacon. It was more than enough food and it was good. I also ordered a tuna sandwich but the tuna was very bland will definitely need to dress it up with condiments. read more

Everything that I've had here has been delectable. The portion size for the price is a little small for me as a big eater, but I appreciate the quality of the food. And a lot of it actually is a decent portion. The staff is always very nice and I really enjoyed my one and only time eating there. Their energy was really good in person also. Sometimes get kind of busy at lunch time during the day and they're pretty quick on the phone but they always get things right and again, they're always friendly when I show up at the place. I appreciate this neighborhood gem. read more

Stopped in after some work in the area and really enjoyed my sub. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bite if you are in the area.

I have traveled the world, and every state in the US. I have eaten at delis everywhere, and this is by far one of the best delis I have experienced in the world. Please try Mario's Cajun Chicken, and any daily special. Vinny the owner is great. He is very accommodating and present. You can tell this family takes pride in their business. There is cozy indoor seating, and seating for up to 25+ outdoors. It's in a lovely neighborhood with easy access. If you're in Chicago....please do not pass up this hidden gem. Cheers read more

This was very good lunch spot. Neat little deli in the middle of a neighborhood. Prices are pretty fair for a city place. Will definitely be making this a return stop . Service was quick and friendly. Had the billy boy good stuff. Lots still to try. read more

So I used to live in Chicago as a California native. I'm always trying to like figure out what makes Chicago so amazing and they're cuisine their food there's sandwiches there's soups there pizza so here. I am being served at Kathy's. I get the feeling as an outsider that it's a very blue collar first responder EMT like police officer neighborhood which makes me feel great cause I feel safe you know... That's just my opinion so I pop into Kathy's and I get the Italian sandwich! Man was that good!!! Very Clean interior and exterior . I Love the sandwiches Fantastic Service. read more

What a great little hole in the wall, hidden in a residential neighborhood. We stopped here for lunch on a weekday, and enjoyed the fast counter service. Our sandwiches were delicious and full of flavor - and we were pleasantly surprised that they came with a side of fries included. While this was a bit more rich and filling than my typical lunch, I'm looking forward to going back again for a special treat someday soon. read more

The best cream of chicken soup, chicken sandwich and Italian sub in the city. The egg salad sandwich is great and the crispy fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Big fan! read more

Food is always fresh and on point. Can't go wrong with anything there. Good south side vibes and great spot to sit outside when the weather is nice. Place feels like home. Kathy Dee's is the best. read more

Best hidden gem in Bridgeport. My go to Sammy's are the Cajun chicken, Billy boy, and the Buffalo Billy boy. Also, don't forget to always order a side of mozzerella sticks! The portion size is great and they have very fair prices. The staff is always so kind, and orders go out FAST! They sell a large variety of foods, so there is literally something for everyone. There are tables to dine in, a small patio area outside, or take it home to enjoy! read more

Visited twice so far this week. Both their Sloppy Joes and Rigatoni with Meatballs specials came out pretty tasty. This is a well hidden gem in Bridgeport with very nice service. Worth the trip. read more

Ive been going here for many, many years. Always fresh sandwiches - well prepared. I love their breaded steak sandwich.

I had Italian submarine to go, lots of meat, but greasy for no apparent reason and bread was old. Had better - but maybe this visit was an anomaly. Would try again if ever nearby. read more

Count your fingers and your food. I bought their "rib special". Full slab with fries. Only received half a slab. I noticed when I got home to make sure I wasn't mistaken on what I ordered. I called Manager and was put on hold for five minutes. I called back and was able to get a response that their half slab is considered a full slab because that's how they do it. A real full slab of their ribs makes them the most overpriced in Chicago. She didn't care that it was misleading and I should know what she meant not what she said. Too bad. This was my fifth and last visit. Oh well at least I won't have to get past the pigeons and squirrels read more

Kathy's is a solid choice for a good, affordable, hearty lunch. I got the Italian sub and that thing was PACKED. You could honestly feel like you've had a full meal by just eating half of it. Portions are huge. We got our order to-go, so I can't say much about the in-store service or seating, but our order was ready when they said it would be and everything tasted great. If you pick up, there's plenty of street parking to quickly park and go. There's no parking lot of its own. read more

It's delicious:) that sauce was so flavorful. not your regular sandwich. The fries are freshly cooked read more

Had the Italian sub with hot peppers. Excellent bread and quality of meat. Very reasonably priced also.

This is deff a hidden gem! Casually ran into it and I will deff be coming back! I live their daily specials that are well worth it because they come with fries and it's a pretty big sub! Very reasonable prices for the quality, size and taste!! My only recommendation for the future customers is make sure you ask if certain things are included that the cashier asks because most of the time cheese and peppers will cost extra which will eventually make everything cost more. Overall, very good food and it has a decent variety of food and very friendly staff! read more

This is the ultimate Chicago deli--phenomenal food, incredible staff, and the perfect old-school vibe. Every item on the menu is a winner. The staff treats you like family, making the experience unforgettable. If you're looking for authentic, down-to-earth goodness, this is the spot. A true Chicago gem! read more

Still loving Kathy De's and very thankful to have them in Bridgeport! We went recently and tried two different sandwiches- the chicken parm and the breaded steak sandwich. They were both excellent! The chicken parm was truly standout, though, and it's our favorite sandwich from Kathy De's so far. The seasoning was really good, such good flavor, you could see the herbs. So far our front runners are the char chicken and chicken parm. It's going to be hard to find a better pair. We left a reminder in our calendar to check out Kathy De's on Tuesday for ribs! #ThankYouThursday read more

"LARGE" salad is very small and not a great value for the price, ESPECIALLY IF ORDERING FROM 3rd party service. I had to call and send a picture to the store because I was sure it was a mistake in the size they sent. For future reference, just call the store directly to order delivery. I wish this was listed somewhere online so we knew to do so and save our money. The salad was "meh" though, would not recommend it. read more

Amazing neighborhood gem for lunch. Generous portions and yummy seasoned fries that are always crispy. I love their eggplant parm sandwich and the bread is always really fresh tasting. Go to spot whenever we are craving fat kid food! read more

Really enjoy this place. Friendly owner and great food! I've only tried the billy boy, but my boyfriend has liked the rio and Cajun sandwiches. Have also heard the meatloaf special on Wednesdays is good so wanting to try that soon. Only complaint is that the hours make it very difficult to come if you work a 9-5 so we don't get to go as often as we'd like! read more

Sadly I don't have any pictures of this unique gem. However I do recommend you check out this Deli. Fast and consistent food is produced from this deli. The service was good as being a family owned business. It's great to see family businesses doing well. read more

It's been a while since I had a good sub so I decided to get delivery from Kathy De's. My only issue is whoever took my order over the phone it seems as though she was irritated I even stopped to ask her if she was okay. Other than that the food was good as expected. I wish I would have gotten a chance to have their bow tie chicken noodle soup but it was sold out as well as the meatloaf and mashed potato special that they have on Wednesdays! Give them to try you won't regret it! read more
