In New Orleans’ bustling Mid-City area, Katie’s Restaurant and Bar is a rich part of the neighborhood’s history. Established in 1985 and purchased by the Craig family in 1991, the restaurant was severely hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and closed its doors for five whole years while the owners, like so many New Orleanians, worked tirelessly to rebuild. It wasn’t until 2010 that Katie’s reopened, fully renovated, remodeled, and with a visit from Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.”
Today, the restaurant is immensely popular for all meals of the day, but brunch at Katie’s is something special. With appetizers like biscuits and country gravy, crab cakes, and chargrilled oysters; “neighborhood favorites” of chicken and waffles or a hot breakfast po’boy; plus NOLA-inspired frittatas, eggs Benedicts, and lunch options, there’s something for everyone at this friendly neighborhood brunch spot. Don’t miss the bottomless mimosas or the famous $6 double Bloody Marys.
