Cat Cora’s

This restaurant was near my gate, I had some time to sit and the menu looked great. I had a runway margarita which was very tasty and the shrimp and grits. It was all really great. I loved the onion in the shrimp and grits and the tomato base was so good. I definitely won’t complain about a layover here if I have time to come back. Some of the wall tables have computer outlets handy. There is a TV at the bar and the dinning area. The waitress was very friendly and checked on me after getting my food and drink. Great experience

My friend always raves about this place when she’s flying out of Atlanta and today I finally got a chance to try it! I ordered the egg white scrambler with chicken sausage and avocado, sourdough toast coffee and a blood orange mimosa. It was delicious and a perfect way to start my trip. My server was Bureke and she was wonderful - had great energy, was super pleasant and also complimented my nails which is an added bonus on this Monday morning😊. I see why my friend loves it here!

Clean, decent looking airport restaurant. Staff was really wonderful and friendly. Food was unfortunately really disappointing and overpriced (but I guess that’s standard for airports). Spent about $50 total for what’s in these two photos. Beet salad came with what seemed like 4 little chunks of canned beets on a bunch of greens. And two pieces of bread with like 1 tiny smear of goat cheese on each. Burger was very bare with up-charges for any additions. Meat was not seasoned well and mostly just tasted like char flavor. Sweet potato fries however were great, except for being over-salted.

If you have time to sit, eat and drink I highly recommend this place. The food is surprisingly good (not as an offense to the establishment but more so with the blandness that you expect from airport food) and the drinks were the best (recommended from a Delta agent). I tried the blood orange mimosa and the French toast. I had the privilege of being waited on by Richard and Harvey. Both equally attentive. Maybe it was lucky flyers during the time I was there - but they also were able to tend to, check out and serve the flyers that were in a pinch. Highly recommend this place.

This place is AWESOME! I couldnt wait to fly back here to eat! The best grilled cheese sandwich I've had in my life! Great atmosphere, great food, and friendly staff. Mahelet is the best. If your in ATL airport this is where you want to eat and have the best waitress, Mahelet . You will not be disappointed.

Solid avocado Cobb salad with chicken. The sweet potato fry’s were almost hitting. They need a slightly thicker batter. Sweet potato fries turn to mush and need that crusty coating to have a crisp texture or mouth feel. Staff was friendly. Except for one of the male staff members who yells across the room and other staff. Tone that down.

Had time before boarding for a snack and a drink. WOW THIS HIT THE SPOT!!!! The best tomato soup* (not bisque) I've ever had, served piping hot and spicy enough to burn the casual eater of chilies. Delicious grilled cheese, I added avocado to mine. Cocktail was fine, straightforward flavors. Perfect pre flight tapas.

Our server Jasmine was fun, bubbly and very chipper for early morning service. She kept a warm smile on her face, made you laugh and made you feel right at home. Very welcoming. Loved the little jars of jelly. Great food for an airport diner. We would recommend you do not fly on by but rather stop in and grab a bite before you depart.

Whenever I am at the airport I try and eat at Cat Cora's Kitchen. The Egg White Scrambler for breakfast and the Avocado Cobb Salad for lunch or dinner are delicious. Ask for Harvey on Wednesdays and Saturdays. He and the staff are the best!

The shrimp & Grits was delicious on top of great service and ambience! Keep up the great work! God Bless Ron

Happy to find this venue when my flight was delayed. Despite my departure gate in another concourse, it was an easy walk here. Very accommodating as I hoped for breakfast ( it was before 11am). We were able to compromise and create a modified avocado toast from the lunch menu. Unsure why they could not create the yogurt and fruit at lunch time though. Perhaps in their maturity and serving people in different time zones, they will realize the importance of flexibility in an airport setting.

Well Cat Cora's name recognition worked but this place falls short. Pros: the shrimp and grits were really great. Shrimp was cooked perfectly, they were a nice size, grits were creamy. Wait staff is very nice and friendly and attentive. Cocktail was refreshing and chilled nicely. Tabletops were clean. Cons: dirty walls and floor, side salad (which was $7.00) had old lettuce, very loud, dirty wait staff station. There are many food offerings here at the ATL airport and I would not come back

I had a two hour layover and needed a place to sit down and eat with family. There were plenty of seating. Our server was very kind and readily available. The food was delicious but in my opinion, the add-ons were a bit overpriced. Otherwise, it's a great place to sit down, relax, and eat.

I arrived for my flight only to discover the flight was delayed! I was already planning to walk around and get my steps in, but now that I had additional time I opted to sit down and enjoy a bite to eat. After a quick google search of the best breakfast at the Atlanta Airport, I opted to check out this spot! Cat Cora s kitchen is on Concourse A. The sign is bright yellow so it's easy to locate . If you are coming from the food court area make a left and the restaurant is located on the right hand side. I sat at the bar. There were several people dining in as well as dinning at the bar area. You can also dine directly in front of the open kitchen. I appreciate this, particularly for an airport restaurant. There was only one bartender. She was ok. I would not brag about the service provided, however, I also don't have any complaint's. I opted for the egg white scramble meal. I needed some fiber , and it included a few veggies. You also get a choice of meat, and white or wheat bread. The food came out quickly. The eggs appear to be made to order. I really enjoyed the chicken sausage and felt as though the entire meal was a solid option. It cost about $15 after taxes. I honestly feel like it's a decent value ! I will be back! I look forward to trying their lunch/ diner options!

If in the Atlanta airport and there for a layover or a delayed flight, stop in. The service and staff were full of joy. It was pretty crowded but the servers did the best they could. There are some tables that offer outlets to charge others do not. Food was okay. Salt help most things. But I was hungry, therefore, it was good. lol! All tables were set with holiday decor and people were generally friendly.

I got to ATL airport much earlier than expected, so I decided to spend my downtime by treating myself out to a nicer, sit-down meal. I came across Cat Cora's through Yelp, and I was intrigued by their menu. I was seated immediately, and I got my order taken soon after. I didn't expect myself to wait an entire hour for the food, but upon arrival of the chicken dish I ordered, I could see why I had waited so long. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy and not too dry. I also loved the potatoes and arugula that came with this dish. It was a hearty meal that kept me satisfied for the rest of the day. I would happily come back to Cat Cora's again, though I wish they had faster service. I felt bad having to flag down waitresses to fill up water and bring me my check.

Had a 3 hour layover. Never been so I thought I would treat myself. Staff was friendly but not team players. My server was nowhere in site so I asked the other server for a spoon and never got it. My girl showed up so I asked her and immediately got one. The place looked clean. Ordered the French toast (warm bananas, pecans) which was good but I have had better. Don't even remember tasting the bananas and after looking at my picture there are no bananas. SAD. It also came with bacon but it is not noted on the menu. I asked for it to be crispy, really crispy but it was slightly crispy. But the price of $14 and that is good for airport food! Order the Mionetto prosecco punch and was disappointed. Looking forward to the sweet & sour cherry juice because I had some in Greece and it was so good, but there was no flavor or it in this drink. Not worth $20. A cup of coffee is $6. So total bill was $43.80 before tip. The tables were almost full and by the time I was ready to leave (1 hour) it was jumping. My server was Selena and she was very good and a pleasant young lady.

Usually when you think of airport food you think simple and fast with a hint of grease. Cat Cora's is not that. Everything I ordered tasted incredibly fresh and had tremendous amounts of flavor. Like all airport restaurants, the space wasn't too big but it didn't feel cramped and the servers were incredibly friendly. Now, the food. I had the lamb meatballs and crab Mac and cheese. I didn't expect to find such elevated dishes at an airport but I'm glad I did. The lamb was incredible and cooked perfectly. The Mac and cheese was full of crab and so cheesy. I can't remember the name of my dessert but it was incredible. Like a chocolate soufflé topped with cream and some berries.

Lots to unpack here. First, someone left a bag and they just let it sit here for my whole visit. It was very uncomfortable for me and the others around me. From what I can tell, zero attempts to do anything about it were made. Second, I was told that they stopped serving breakfast. I was okay with that. Got my spot and handed a menu. The menu has ONE thing on it that's not breakfast. (Technically a cup of soup makes two). The menu said "breakfast served until 10:30." Look at my watch. 10:24. I contemplate adding both bacon and eggs to my burger order and then hold the beef and can you serve it on toast instead. I order a Diet Coke. She says, "Diet Pepsi, got it" *sigh* No, mam, I'll just have a cup of coffee. Ten minutes pass. A lukewarm cup of brewed coffee arrives. "Cream and sugar?" Yes please. "The sugar is on the table" she said dismissively. Why ask me, then? She leaves. I add a couple of sugars. I had no spoon to stir with. Five minutes pass. She arrives with cream, sugar and a spoon. The coffee is... fine. I abandon the idea of ordering any food and receiving it in time to make my connecting flight.i ask for the check. My shoes are glued to the sticky floor. *sigh* It's easily the best breakfast place within spitting distance to gate A24. But I'd skip it four out of five times.

Important information - if you're there on a Sunday, they can't serve alcohol before 11am. Which was fine by me. I just wanted something simple while I waited an hour. I got a diet pepsi and the yogurt which was so very good. Loved the drizzle of honey that pulled everything together. Service was great. I loved that Kristen (I hope that was her name) sang along (so very very well) with the music. Time flew by far too quickly.

I typically avoid eating at airports, but during my recent trip, I decided to give Cat Cora's Kitchen a try since it was conveniently located across from my gate. I ordered the egg white scramble, paired with a refreshing blood orange mimosa, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was! The scramble was made with spinach, tomato, and I believe feta cheese, all cooked perfectly. I also had some turkey bacon on the side, which made for a healthy and satisfying meal. The highlight of my experience was the service. Richard, the gentleman who attended to me, was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and the great customer service. I would definitely return to Cat Cora's Kitchen, especially if I find myself near my gate again. Four stars!

Turning a blind eye to the fact that airport prices definitely apply, I actually thought this was a great spot. The menu is a good size - not overwhelming but options for all preferences. Other people's food looked good from what I was able to see. There are a decent number of outlets along the walls and at the bar. I opted for the burger ($22) and added cheese ($3). I got a side salad alongside it. The only fries are sweet potato fries oddly which I wasn't in the mood for. The side salad was fine although the dressing was weirdly sweet? I did like that it had hard boiled eggs on it for some additional protein. The burger was fantastic. It definitely wasn't cooked medium rare as requested (probably medium to medium-well) but it certainly didn't suffer for it. Really tasty and juicy and the bun was deliciously toasted. Like honestly a fantastic burger. Service was fine and I did enjoy getting called pet names lol southern hospitality will never cease to make me giggle and kick my feet. Would go back.

Everything was great! Got the French toast and a margarita. Service was fast and friendly. Clean tables. Thanks Jasmine! Will be back soon.

After a delay in my flight, I really wanted a drink and a bite to eat. I got a wonderful red wine which my server was very kind to tell me about and allow me to taste first. It was a very nice pour for the price but I'm from NYC so everything is cheaper, lol. I was not looking for anything big to eat so I ordered the lamb meatballs and they were absolutely delicious, very moist and well seasoned.

Had a stop in Atlanta and came by with my sister only for a drink. We sat immediately because they have many bar chairs available that are great for single people or two people. Staff was nice and answered our questions. We had a beer. It was served promptly and very cold. Ambiance was nice. Love the bright light and white colors. Beer was $10 which is the cheapest there.

Sat at bar, Shay tended to me. Friendly, efficient & good feedback/food suggestions. Sweet potato fries- good, not fried hard enough- were super soft. But the flavor was delicious including the garlic aioli. Fig & ricotta toast- good flavor balance. I wish the bread was toasted more. Was very soft, I would have appreciated a little char and crunch to offset the soft ingredients. Wine- pinot noir, I dont remember which one but it was good! Overall, I would stop in again. Space feels tight compared to some other bars and restaurants in the airport but they have good service and solid food.

Hd it in the airport delicious in Atlanta. Good bread toast w figs. Also good drinks and they have coffee also Tap beer also!

On our way to Miami for the Thanksgiving Holiday, and we stop within the airport, at the little spot. Fancy name, good service and nice atmosphere. The food was marginal at best. I ordered a burger well done, it was great and the mixed green salad was bland. My wife ordered some potato chip dish which was horrible. Wife said it tasted like pure grease. There were other options on the menu but no time to try them. So for this visit I can only give them a C.

Just had drinks before our departure. Good pours. Pricy like you would expect at the airport Food looked good. Service was better than expected. Friendly bartender, handling it all.

Inside the Atlanta airport, near gate A25 is this gem of a restaurant. From the moment I approached the host stand I was greeted with a big smile by a friendly server who seated me on the spot. I ordered coffee, a fruit bowl and the egg white omelet and everything was extremely tasty. I especially loved that the fruit was fresh and delicious, which seems rare at most restaurants. My server Malcolm was so attentive which was impressive given the large number of tables he had. He was quick to refill my coffee which was greatly needed given my travel day began at 3:45 am. I will be back to Cat Cora's the next time I'm in the ATL airport. Thanks Malcolm for brightening my day, I appreciate you!

I was in the mood for something healthy during my layover so I decided to get a snack here. I'm very glad I did. Clean, contemporary dining area and friendly waitstaff. I got two vegan dishes and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. The garlic spinach was sautéed with a *lot* of garlic and just enough spice to make it interesting. I savored every bite and recommended it to the person next to me, who thanked me later. The edamame hummus was also savory. The pepperoncini, Kalamata olives and microgreens made sure the flavor had plenty of nuance and everything tasted amazing with the pita bread, which was nice even by itself. Pro tip: if you get the same things I did, eat the spinach first and then add the remaining garlic and oil to the hummus. You're welcome. I left very impressed. Everything was high quality and delicious. It's restaurants like this that make me wish I could walk into an airport terminal just to eat. Highly recommended.

Sat at the bar and had breakfast The bartender Richard was fantastic. Great customer service

Pleasantly surprised! The reviews were all over the place but since my colleagues and I were flying out of CONCOURSE A, we decided to try it for lunch. We thought it was beautiful looking food and tasted great except for the Quinoa had no flavor. Be prepared, it took a little while to get our food after we ordered and it's a little pricey for what we got, but of course it's in the airport so that's expected. Enjoyable atmosphere and the server was nice.

I've seen this place before on prior trips connecting through the Atlanta airport. But today, two hour layover, time to give it a try. First, the people in Atlanta are genuinely very nice! The lady on the door and my server, very pleasant...and the airport is full of stressed out people, so congrats!! Service was very helpful and quick. I had the shrimp and grits. So much flavor, shrimp cooked perfectly, the right amount of heat. I enjoyed this very much!! If I ever get stuck in Atlanta, I will be back!!

good airport food! grilled cheese with caramelized onions and spicy tomato soup at 10am? count me in! kind and quick service :)

The food was good and the service even better! I had a few hour layover and I couldn't think of a cooler place to sit and snack and have a few cocktails. Oh and the music was on point!

Amazing restaurant at the airport! Cold beeerrrr! Great toast with fig and olive oil and jelly yumm good service busy airport spot and great menu.

I went to this restaurant on Dec 19, 2025. The food was good, the waitress, Ashley, was great. However, the next day I had 3 fraudulent charges on my credit card for $70 - $74. My bank processed the charges immediately and cancelled my card. The Fraud department identified that the charges were made at a restaurant but could not identify. The only time I used the card was at this restaurant. Make sure they bring the charge machine to your table.

The food is not like your typical airport slop. So much flavor. I ordered the shrimp grits. Cheese ham and sauted onions were also added. Just the right amount of spice. Service was top level. I may have to fly out of Atlanta more often.

Being located in the Airport, I didn't find this too terribly expensive. It certainly is a high volume restaurant and they manage very well! Sherica was very professional, timely, and welcoming. The ambiance is what can be expected at a busy airport without feeling crowded. I had the spicy tomato soup with a very delicious grilled cheese sandwich with caramelized onions and bacon. Perfect soup to sandwich size ratio. I will definitely be back!

You could do far worse than here for dining in the airport. It gets packed, but they turn tables frequently. The staff are also nice. I had the cobb salad. I loathe bleu cheese (I didn't notice it on the menu) so it wasn't my favorite, but it was a fresh well prepared salad. There were plenty of other appetizing looking dishes going out, as well. It was a tad pricey I guess, but not really considering that it's actual food that doesn't make you feel gross...in an airport.

I ordered the avocado Cobb salad with chicken. Which was amazing, the only draw backs in my opinion is the dressing. The turkey bacon is amazing. It's in house and the flavor doesn't pair well with the blue cheese and peppers. That Ambiance was nice even though it's an airport. The service was ok. The young lady that's was waiting on me was polite and timely. However when I asked the other 2 ladies a question they walked away no response or interaction. I think they thought I was going to complain.

We had a 2 hour layover at the Atlanta Airport. Came for a drink but ordered appetizers. The first bite of the Mac was soo good, I immediately tasted the crab, it tasted fresh and not imitation. Very cheesy. Our server Aisiah was super nice and attentive. The music playing was a great touch, I could tell it kept the servers motivated. They were singing and serving. Fun and upbeat. Give them a try if you're ever in concourse A

The friendliest staff and delicious food! I ordered the cobb salad and added shrimp - it was just the right amount of food and had very fresh ingredients (spring mix, cherry tomatoes, grilled avocado, blue cheese, small pieces of fresh bacon, sun dried tomatoes, boiled egg). The dressing, while light in appearance, was also the perfect amount and did not overwhelm the salad. And the staff was so nice! I wasn't paying attention and started following the hostess as she sat the guy in front of me in line and then SHE apologized for the confusion. She caused no confusion, I was just foggy after a day of travel. My waitress was also very delightful and attentive. If you're passing through this terminal in ATL, I highly recommend grabbing a bite here!

Flights were a bit delayed on my layover through Atlanta and my co-worker and I stumbled across Cat Cora's Kitchen. The restaurant was crowded, but we were able to find 2 bar chairs hidden around the corner. The bar was well lit with pendant lighting, and had plenty of gleaming surfaces. The bartender greeted us and told us she would be with us in just a few moments. After a bit, she was still pouring drinks and asked us to give her a few. As we had a slight delay, we weren't in much of a rush, so it wasn't a big problem. The great part was when she came over, she said, "Sorry about the delay but I want to make sure I have you my full and undivided attention." That was amazing, I wish I had got the young lady's name. Her entire demeanor showed she was completely focused on as at that moment and wanted to provide a high level of service. We each asked for drinks only and dadgum, did she make them good and strong. Of course, Delta chose that moment to decide they wanted to board our flight, so we had to chug and run, but this was an overall great experience. If I'm ever on a layover in ATL again, I'll make sure to come here.

I'm a million miler on Delta through ATL and this is by far top 2 for service and food - Located on the A Concourse and worth a stop. I always get the Grilled Avocado Salad.

I loved watching Cat Cora on Food Network so I was excited to try her restaurant in ATL. Very disappointed. Sorry. First, the food item I got was NOT as advertised. The menu called them "flank steak tacos," but I swear the meat was pot roast, which I loathe. Not even CLOSE to flank steak, which I LOVE. Hot sauce and a mound of slaw were the only things that kept them edible. Second, the prices. I know airports are high but $22 for three tacos and $14.50:for a glass of wine that retails at less than that PER BOTTLE was excessive. Third, the bartenders did little more than sling drinks. No conversation with the guests, though plenty among themselves. It's right on the concourse so it's hardly quiet, but that's to be expected. It could be that her other dishes.. and other servers... are fine, but it's really hard to get past a bad first experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed the spicy tomato soup with grilled cheese. The toast was crispy, the cheese was a blend of stretchy goodness. Would have loved to have more caramelized onions on the sandwich. Good choice if you're in a rush. The table spacing is pretty cramped for folks traveling with suitcases. Only thing concerning was I saw a few fruit flies. The staff was friendly. The manager took better care of me than the server...she even filled my water bottle.

Had breakfast here and it was genuinely delicious . Ordered the tomato, spinach and feta omelette and it rates easily as the best omelette I have ever had; ingredients were fresh and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My server at the bar, Tracy, was amazing too--genuine and friendly, and it made the experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by if you are flying trough Atlanta.

Read reviews that suggested it was worth taking the tram to detour to Term A to eat here ... if you have ample time, definitely give it a shot! Bar service was friendly and on-point, and food was delicious (lamb meatballs & hummus plate). Downside? Food took far too long to arrive considering what I ordered and bar does get cramped with luggage/bags. Enjoy!

Here today for lunch/dinner. Our party of four had crab Mac n cheese, cheeseburgers with sweet potato fries and penn pasta... Our server, Frey, (I thought it was Missa, but brother insisted it was Frey) was awesome. I had to ask to change my dish, the crab Mac n cheese for something else, because it was too salty for my taste. Frey, was so nice she did or hesitate to change my order... thank you. The hamburger was spot on! Everything else, was delicious. Thanks for the good eats...

Menu is top notch. And the kitchen delivers the goods! Shae and Jess are a team that will take care of you with a smile and prompt service. Terminal A in the ATL Hartsfield Jackson airport.

Above and beyond service! I was cutting it close with my flight and had to run before the food came out. The waitress asked for my name and gate. I never thought they'd actually get the food to me on the plane! Next thing I know the delta gate rep is walking the to go bag to my seat on the plane! Food was great too!

Cat Cora's has long been my place to grab a bite during a long ATL layover. Unfortunately, it's time to find a new spot. I arrived to a restaurant that was less than half full. After ordering lamb meatballs and ricotta fig toast, I waited. And waited. I watched as several tables who had ordered after I did, get their hamburgers and such. Finally I got the meatballs. Cooked to perfection and delicious. Still no ricotta toast. Finished the meatballs. Still have not received the rest of my order. My waiter put the blame solely on the kitchen. She did not ask if I needed anything or offer to refill my drink. I finally cancelled the rest of my order. Truly bad service, especially for an airport restaurant where timeliness is key.

We had lunch while at Hartsfield Jackson Airport in Atlanta. Restaurant is in the A concourse near gate A 25. Food was excellent my wife had the Cobb Salad with Chicken and loved it. As expected more than enough to eat. My wife liked that the Chicken was freshly cooked and then added to the salad. I had the Cat Burger with freshly made Potato Chips, tomato and arugula. Burger was perfect fresh off the grill hot and very juicy. Best burger I have had in a while. Well worth the trip glad we stopped in will hold us over till we land and have dinner later tonight. Nice to eat in a restaurant that understands getting food to the table quickly and hot. Our waitress was, Mwelewa and she was so sweet and professional glad we sat in her section. Keep up the great work.

The greeter, Winsome, was incredible. She was friendly, helpful, and always cheerful. The service was good, and the "potato Chips" were a real experience. Homemade in all aspects. But I was raised on Good Customer Service and Winsome did it all.
