We noticed a large amount of cars outside this restaurant for breakfast and decided to stop by for dinner. It's close to Holiday Valley & Holimont ski resorts and worth the 15 minute drive from both. The interior is airplane themed, as the restaurant sits near an airport ("fly-in"), and is pretty basic so don't go for the ambiance. Even though the ski resorts bring a lot of tourists this a locals spot that maintained a good crowd throughout the evening. Even with a crowd we were seated immediately and our waitress was great. We were there for their special Friday Fish Fry. The menu had the standard homestyle cuisine and they offerred several other specials. I went with the fish special and my wife chose the chicken parm. The fish was breaded, moist and delicous. The chicken parm dish was a lot of food but also really tasty. We left really full and our bill was under $40 for the two of us. It doesn't look like much but we really enjoyed the evening. read more

Firstly, we went there on a Monday afternoon in bad weather in the summer, so it was probably locals: The average age was about 70, so there were lots of people shouting to be heard. The Greek salad with grilled chicken was fantastic; a mushroom-swiss burger with special house curly fries was huge and spectacular. There was a single waitress for the whole room, but we were all ably managed. A word about the decor: It's mostly propellers, with some WWII posters. The airstrip is across the street. read more

Fabulous little "country diner" that seems very popular among the local farmers, workers and others. I can see why! We are in town as my wife works in Olean & I have stopped twice! Had basic breakfast at noon the first time - eggs, hash & salt rising toast. Great! The second time had a THINK BLT on that yummy salt rising toast with fab smoked bacon. BONUS!! Had a cup of maybe the best soup I've had in forever - Buffalo Chicken soup!! STOP THE PRESSES!! Lots of chicken, potatoes, slivers of carrots & celery plus lots bleu cheese & Frank's Red Hot. Fantastic place with friendly service read more

Nice ambience and very cordial wait staff. Good food and good service despite being short staffed.

Stopped in on a Thursday evening. We were driving by and this place looked inviting. Very clean establishment and the staff was very friendly as well. We ordered drinks and the meatloaf meal to split as we were traveling and were trying not to have leftovers. The food was great and the portions were huge. It was definitely enough to fill us up. The meal also came with a salad and they happily brought us an extra plate. I would highly recommend stopping if you are in the area. read more

Katy's is WONDERFUL!! The flavors in all her dishes are perfectly balanced. My husband and i eat here quit a bit, and Being from Buffalo we are little bit food snobby ( Ill Admit It:) Her seasonal dishes are fantastic too. All her dishes are Scrumptious, and pop with flavor! Thank you for being here for the locals, and the community. PS: Cant wait to POP in for Dyngus day and try those fabulous Pierogies!!! read more

Katy's Fly In is a stop we make often when enroute home from visiting family in PA and we are always well-fed!! The food is always top notch (except maybe the tomato slice on my sandwich this time that wasn't quite ripe even during mid harvest season, that was slightly disappointing). But the rest of the meal certainly made up for that! I ordered "The Landing". It is a regular item on the menu, but it was my first time having it---wonderful!! And the sidewinder fries are the BEST! Crispy on the outside and delectable on the inside. The other dinner we ordered was a special of the day of stuffed banana peppers with beef and pork, mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce served over spaghetti. Both of our dinners were of very generous portions and we enjoyed them again for a second meal at home! Such an appreciated quality, affordable restaurant with such a friendly staff, always makes the last leg or our journey so pleasant and it is such a relief that I don't have to cook dinner when I get home!! Thanks!! See you soon at Katy's!! read more

Was in town on a random Wednesday afternoon. Yelp is my go to for local recommendations in a new town. Didn't let me down... Katy's was great! Great menu, food looked & tasted great, good pricing, good service and the location is quaint, off the beaten path and has ample parking. I would definitely go back! read more

In Ellicottville for a wedding- a 5k and half marathon was being held downtown so found this place on Yelp. Had 5 in our party was able to find a table for our party no waiting. Our waitress took our drink orders- several had beer - seemed like a good selection. The food was great. Two had their burgers - wife and I had patty melts and another had a salad. Everyone loved their meals. Perfectly cooked burgers. Fries can out hot like they should be. (Note: no wings the price of wings is very high - yep seems to be the same issue everywhere). Just a nice neighborhood spot maybe 5 miles from town. Worth the drive. Plenty of parking. It's a 5. read more

Good basic breakfast at a fair price. Great home fries. Clearly a local favorite. Friendly staff.

Great friendly service and generous portions of tasty breakfast foods in a comfortable environment.

Katy's Fly-in is a must stop when in the area. the homey food, welcoming staff, and large table accommodations are just a few of the top reasons. They offer simple staples, like the basic egg, bacon, and cheese omelet with hash browns for less than 8$! We always make sure to get the fried grits too. read more

The place is simple with a nautical theme. The food has huge portions and very delicious. The prices are affordable if your trying to avoid the touristy ellicottville. Fly in for real. We watch a small passenger planes land and the people came in for breakfast. The sausage gravy and biscuits were delightful and the home fries mmmmmmmm. Great stop in Great Valley! read more

Portions were absolutely mammoth sized. I could only make it through a quarter of my meal. Food was fairly standard fare but it was good and mostly fresh, salad was on the wilted side. Prices were reasonable considering it is a tourist town. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Would definitely visit again. read more

This place was just fine. Nothing to write home about but good. A few bulleted items. - specialty burger - good red bell peppers. Tasted like from a jar but I'm not complaining. Gorgonzola cheese was good. Burger was ordered medium and came a little over done. -sidewinder fries- these have kind of like a potato mash in them like a smiley. Salty and a little smokey taste. Probably frozen. -hot wings- Frank's red hot. Good sauce. Wings we're a little over but I'd prefer them over than under. Overall the place looked a quaint small town establishment. After handling money etc the waiters touched the tips of straws before giving them to customers and there were finger print smudges all over the cash drawer with a couple random plates of food near each cash register. Idk if there belonged to the waitresses. read more

Katy's Fly-in Restaurant - Specialty burger and hot wings - Burgers Near Me - Great Valley, New York

Great food, fantastic prices, great quality. I am recommending to all of my skier friends.

This is a great place with great food. The service is top notch!! Ppl fly in to eat here n the prices are better than good!

This is a cute place with what we thought was a decent menu. However several problems with our meals. Ordered the coconut crusted haddock and asked for the sweet chile glaze to be put on the side since the waitress couldn't say for sure how hot it was. Both orders came with the glaze completely covering the fish and it was HOT. Completely ruined the fish and neither one of us ate even a third of the fish. Restaurant had no baked potatoes or the Gorgonzola cheese for one of their steak entrees. Was a total disappointment. We may go back but will stick with pizza or burger. Cannot recommend at this time. read more

If you are in the area....and woke up from a dream about "classic diner faire"....and also want a bar inside(we didn't partake- but what a bonus!)...and friendly staff AND guests...don't walk - run to Katy's! Good service, good value, clean and comfortable, short wait (you will wait just a few minutes because where there is good food, there is usually a line!), and really great breakfast! Handicap friendly, lots of parking. The eggs Benedict special was ON POINT! I wish they had t-shirts! Don't sleep on this gem! read more

My younger daughter and I had a lunchtime meal here while waiting for the rain to stop over at Holiday Valley. We each ordered a sandwich to try...she got the portobello mushroom sandwich and i had the (single) Eddy burger. My daughter really enjoyed her sandwich, which came with the mushroom and a bunch of other grilled vegetables in a balsamic dressing. Her sandwich came with a curly fry concoction that was really tasty. My burger looked very diner-esque when it arrived. I had asked for medium-rare, but was unaware it was a very thin patty, so no pink whatsoever on the meat. The burger was served with crinkle-cut fries which were not seasoned at all. So, we had a mixed bag on our meals but I would probably give them another try, especially for breakfast as so many others have pointed out. read more

cute place, great food, and amazing service! Looked like lots of options on the menu as well, I do recommend it!!

Stopped in here while in the area and happy we did. Great food great service. Definitely worth a visit. Treat you like family.

A great place to eat in Great Valley, NY (about 4 miles from Ellicottville) -- it's right across the street from a little grass strip. Every Tuesday from 5-8pm in the summer time (May-October), there's a "fly-in" where pilots are encouraged to fly into the airstrip and eat at Katy's which is right across the street from the airport. If you want to "plane-watch," (like people watching, only more dangerous) I suggest coming here on a Tuesday this summer for some food. The place has recently been renovated and there's a nice outdoor patio and a large air conditioned space indoors as well. The menu is fairly basic, a lot of different burgers, wraps, salads and chicken wings. I've eaten here twice in the past year. Most recently, I had a Greek Salad with grilled chicken which was delicious. The olives, feta cheese, chicken, tomatoes all came together nicely for superbly healthy meal. I've also eaten a burger here back in October. I remember it being pretty delicious and they are never cooked from frozen according to the menu. I'd totally come back here and would be excited to try some of the chicken wings as well (they were out of them yesterday). Service has always been with a smile. Credit cards are accepted. read more

We've been coming to Holiday Valley to ski for years and passed this restaurant each time. I regret that now as it is LOVELY! Katy's Fly-In is a homey diner with friendly service. The food is unexpectedly amazing. What would typically be a "just fine" breakfast was so tasty!! Eggs were perfect, hash browns were seasoned well, the raisin toast tasted like it was freshly baked and the bacon was thick sliced perfection! I can't leave out that even the coffee was so flavorful. Katy's was a great experience and I would highly recommend visiting! read more

We stopped in for breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised. I ordered the steak omelet with peppers and onions. I like my peppers and onions sauteed really well and they did it amazingly. My hubby ordered the full order of sausage gravy and biscuits. It was also delicious. They have fried grits on their menu and having never heard of them, I decided to give they a try. They were tasty. The waitress was efficient and we never waited on anything. Thank you for a pleasant dining experience. read more

Although this little hodunk doesn't have organics nor any plant based options I still appreciate that they're trying to be more environmentally friendly with their new paper straws! Nod to you Katy's Fly-in. And they serve mimosas!! Bonus read more

Nothing really positive to say about Katy's so I'll keep it short. Pancakes were overcooked and dry. No amount of butter or syrup could penetrate the pancakes. Ham and cheese omelette overcooked. Took 30 minutes for food to arrive with only one other table taken. Will not be back for breakfast again. People say that their fish fry on Friday is good, but I don't know. read more
