Lively spot for Creole-Italian fare & brunch; known for grilled oysters
"The line out the door says it all. Katie’s is a neighborhood treasure, but folks come from all around New Orleans to enjoy this Mid City gem. On Sunday, chef Scot Craig serves rib-sticking homey specialties, including dishes like grillades and grits (the gravy is tomato-based), eggs cochon, and oysters Benedict. Bottomless mimosas, bloody marys, or sangria are available for $25." - Beth D’Addono
"A family-friendly, quintessential neighborhood restaurant, Katie’s is known for straightforward Southern and Louisiana favorites, as well as brunch, a great Cuban, and the crawfish beignets: crawfish, shrimp, cheddar, mozzarella, jalapenos, and caramelized onion served with a bright dipping sauce. Winner of the 2018 Beignet Fest." - Beth D’Addono
"This friendly Mid-City institution satisfies with its extensive menu of New Orleans classics, where there’s something to please everyone in the family — chargrilled oysters, fried fish, po’ boys, pizza, gumbo, and more. The muffuletta is another crowd-pleaser, served on toasted Italian loaf with salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella, Provel cheese, and kalamata olive salad (often made with green olives). It even offers a vegetarian-friendly version, a sandwich stuffed with eggplant, mushroom, onion, bell pepper, tomato, mozzarella, and olive salad." - Beth D’Addono
"Katie’s is such a quintessential neighborhood spot that it’s only natural the staff welcomes the little ones with open arms. Beyond the comfortable atmosphere, you also don’t need a separate kids menu to satisfy, as age-appropriate items abound with options like quesadillas, chicken parmesan, and even a make-your-own-pasta section." - Eater Staff
"Love that you can get fried catfish on a salad here. Katie’s is a Midcity institution, family-owned and downhome friendly. The combo platter includes fried crawfish tails and homemade garlic bread. Go for brunch when it’s serving a fried catfish special." - Beth D’Addono
