Catty Car Cornet has never disappointed me. I always look forward to their Meatloaf abd Gravy with a side of Mashed Potatoes and Mustard Greens on Tuesdays!The staff is always very friendly and cafeteria-style efficient. For a relatively small place, there is ample room and plenty of tables with a bright open atmosphere and a great view of busy Poydras Street. Within close walking distance to the Superdome.

I like this!Catty Car Corner is not a totally New Orleans experience, but it does attempt to bring the flavor and feeling of the Crescent City into this cafe on the street level of a skyscraper in the Central Business District. It's for nearby office workers, it's likely closed when the nearby Superdome is in use.The menu is written on several signs in the kitchen area. I saw some pots with Southern food: beans, cooked veggies, probably some gumbo. But nothing on the menu indicated how this could be ordered, or what the price was. All three of us had sandwiches, chips, and Coke, and I also grabbed the Tony Chacherie's and put it on my club sandwich. Not totally local for us tourists from Texas, but with the heavy rain and a one-block walk that was mostly covered, it still worked well.And these sammies were goooooood. The girl wished she would have gotten something besides a ham & cheese, but she still liked it a lot. My club was filling, so was the Hunny's turkey. Two big men walked by when they were finished, and she thought she overheard them talking about football-related topics; maybe they were from the Saints? Overall, the place was half full, people enjoying themselves, loving the food.This being New Orleans, parking is terrible. And Catty Car Corner, and this part of Polydras, are not for tourists and it's a long walk from the French Quarter. But it's still a winner. It's easy to find really good food in the Big Easy, and this is one of those spots, so don't worry that you didn't get to eat at the Napoleon House or other famous places. You can come here instead.

When you have eaten hotel breakfast for a week and need something different, but didn't want to go far, this place seemed to fit. This is pure cafeteria style, And busy with local workers. Went with eggs grits and biscuit. The eggs were were decent a little soft towards the bottom of the pile and definitely need more salt and pepper. The grits were OK, little on the runny side but very good. The biscuit actually looked homemade, it was quite tasty. Have not yet gained an appreciation for coffee in the city so it was only fair in my opinion. And for the cost it's a good value

Very nice breakfast spot that I walked to from the Hyatt where I was staying at quicker more efficient service.. I had eggs, bacon, grits, and a fresh toasted muffin. It was all very good, but not great. But the value was excellent for downtown New Orleans.

3.5 stars. The service is cafeteria-style, and the food is... well, calling it cafeteria-level would be insulting, but but it's not going to impress anyone. But for a restaurant within walking distance to City Hall and the Superdome, with such reasonable - almost cheap - prices, it's hard to complain. And I haven't tried them for lunch yet; maybe that will raise my score.

To say I visit this place often is an understatement. I work near by so I'm always there. Whether it's for a cup of coffee in the morning, breakfast, lunch or something sweet you can find it at Catty's Corner. Do not let the lines discourage you, they move super fast. It's cafeteria style food but it's always tasty. Great place to go if you're in the CBD area. Prices are reasonable and food is great, what's not to love?! Also, the owners are very nice and personable.

$14.93. Meatloaf, Mac n cheese shells, marshmallow sweet potatoes aaaaaaannnnndddddd a Diet Coke. This place has it all....it's cafeteria style but also has salads and sandwiches made to order. The bfast hours are 7-10am. It's a quick 3 minute walk from the Hyatt, so if u need a fast meal, stop on in! It's nothing fancy inside, but who needs swanky when the food is this good! I'll definitely be back.

Go to spot when I don't bring my lunch to work. They always have an array of options. You can get a hot meal, salad, sandwich; the possibilities are endless. Personable staff; most know the customers by name. You can get your food to go or sit down and eat. Prices are reasonable as well.

It was so good, I went back a second day. The catfish was excellent. I hate collard greens but I like these ones. The mac & cheese is mac & cheese and it's pretty good. The chicken was really good. You're not gonna lose weight at this place. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable, the only downside is that it's only open for lunch. I went back the next day and got a plate full of ribs and they were excellent.
