Kitty's Cafe

Went to Kitty's awhile back when it reopened. Super nice people working, very understanding with the long line because of the reopening. They gave me an estimated 1 hour wait for their pork tenderloin sandwich. I left and ran some errands and came back after an hour, so roughly accurate wait time. I expect that now the wait is a lot less.Pork tenderloin sandwich itself was solid. Very crispy, pork itself wasn't too thick. Tasted fresh, with good toppings. For what it was, I think it surpassed my expectations. I'd say the sandwich is a little bit dry for my personal taste, but overall it's a classic. For the price, I do think it's a little expensive, but where else can you get a pork tenderloin sandwich?Kitty's cafe itself doesn't have any real seating area. It's basically a walk in and order at the counter place. Expect to take your food to go.Overall, 4/5, and I'd probably return if I ever was craving another pork sandwich.

Believe the hype. This is the best pork tenderloin sandwich I've ever had. The fries were amazing too! The service was friendly. The cashier told us it would be about a 30-minute wait for our food. Soon after, she was telling people 45 minutes. Their delivery truck hadn't come and they were out of tots, fries, bacon and something else. No matter. People took it in stride. They were not there for any of those things. It's all about the hand-breaded tenderloin. They have pork, chicken and catfish. We also tried a cheeseburger, which was excellent. If I wanted a meal, I'd get a double or triple cheeseburger. A single is more of a snack. It seems like a melting pot there. We met and talked to folks from all over the metro while we were waiting. We drove in from Lee's Summit for lunch on a Friday. Prolly 60% of us were first timers. The veterans just smiled at us. They knew what goodness lay ahead. I won't have a tenderloin anywhere else. It won't be as good. I'm ruined.

Kitty's is an interesting place and a little tricky to find. We had the address and drove by it before realizing it. It is a very small place, carry out only. They key is to find the door. They focus on tenderloin sandwiches and burgers. They also have fries.We got the tenderloin sandwich. For the money it is a big sandwich. Loaded with battered pork tenderloin. Battered versus breaded. It was juicy and tender. All around good taste. However, with the meat being battered and given the thickness of the tenderloin it made for several layers of batter with several layers of tenderloin - the ratio of batter to meat was higher than I liked, which is why I only gave it 4 stars.With that said, it is a good sandwich and a good experience. You should give it a try, keeping in mind it is carry out only.

I was impressed and I will be back. You The prices were very affordable which is a plus during a time when everyone seems to be overpricing things including food. I ordered the breakfast sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. Beware, it comes with Mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I had it all removed and added bacon. Very good! Took about 10 minutes. So, very quick. In terms of ambiance, there isn't much. I mean the ceiling is cute and the place is clean. That's enough. This is a grab and go spot. No sitting and staying

Closed for Renovations right now (May 2024) Always outstanding! Tenderloin of legend and lives up to the hype! Cash only!

Quintessential hole-in-the-wall place!How did I find out about Kitty's? I was in class one day, looking at food places that were nearby and stumbled across Kitty's. I was confused as to how I live nearby but had never seen nor heard about it - yet there were so many reviews that were raving about it. So, I had to check it out!Why I would rate it 4 stars - given the location, there's basically no parking (good luck with street parking). It's also pretty small so you can't sit in - this is a takeout place. So it got pretty crowded and took a while for food to come out. However, service was nice, food is CHEAP, and you get a decent amount for how much you're paying! The tenderloin sandwich was FILLING and so good. It also definitely knocked me out for a good chunk of the afternoon, lol! If you're in the mood for a tenderloin sandwich, or a burger, I'd recommend trying this place out - it might become your new go-to!!

Double Cheeseburger-I can't believe I've been living in KC this long and had not tried this place. I ordered a double cheeseburger and tater tots and man...it was amazing. Can't wait to go back and try their famous pork tenderloin. FYI-it's cash only.

Food was SO good, but idk if we caught an off/busy day but we had to wait 1 hours 15 minutes for our food. But I will say that they told us it would be 45 min when we ordered, so not totally at fault there.Wouldn't say worth 1.25 hours, BUT if wait was even a half hour, I'd absolutely come back!

The burgers were okay. The tenderloins were great. Stacked high. Had a crispy tempura batter. Cash only
