    Oh Kitty. You make my heart purrrrr. I first spotted you while ubering and wondered what you were about. Nestled in a quaint little red building, people were filing in and out of your door as if to see the wizard behind the curtain. I then saw an IG post a few days later bragging of your pork tenderloin ways being the best in the land. A few days later, I grabbed cash as I had made note you are a cash only business and headed your way. It was around 1:30 on a weekday and there was several people inside waiting for their order while others sought to place theirs. After placing mine with the friendly face who greeted me, I read the article on your wall of how The NY Times had executed a road trip searching for the 50 best places to eat in the nation and you, of course, made the list. I got a pork tenderloin, light on the hot sauce with tater tots and a canned root beer. My, oh my. Upon pulling back the wrapper, I was immediately impressed with your generous portion. I quickly sang your praises to anyone and everyone I came in contact with that day boasting of your delightful brilliance that is stacked 3 high with tempura fried tenderloins. Crispy. Hot. Fresh. Fantastic. I was smitten. Today, I had a hankering and circled back around but this time I indulged in your chicken sandwich. KITTTAYYYY!!!! Chik-Fil-A who??? Popeye what? I sat in my car munching on my sandwich and extra crispy tots licking my lips and fingers, in awe. I have never had a chicken sandwich so smackin' in my life. Again, 3 pieces stacked high with mayo, lettuce and pickle slices. Tempura pieces falling off as I sank my teeth into each and every bite which served as little rewards of golden goodness to devour at the end of my meal. Speechless. I contemplated embracing my inner chubby side and walking back in to order a second one just so the moment could last a little longer but restrained myself. Don't be fooled my friend,; I will be back tmrw for more and the many days leading up to your remodel when you will be closed for what is sure to feel like forever. If you wanna pet my mental health and stroke my belly while on hiatus by sneaking me chicken sandwiches til you return to open your doors post facelift, holla at ya girl. I promise, I will holla back without hesitation. You reign supreme like a sphinx in the night and I will forever be your biggest fan. Pinky promise.

    Planning on making this a regular quick date spot. I had the fish tenderloin but "stole" a bite or two of my boyfriend's burger. So delicious! There was a line forming out the door so this confirmed we had to try it. The wait time was 10-15 mins as they make your food to order. Prepare to wait on your car as this place is definitely a "hole in the wall." Luckily we had cash because it's "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!!
