I’ve enjoyed myself at Kitty Pappas many times. This unique environment is not for everyone and neither is George. Almost everything is good but I order various styles of burgers or pork chop dinner, all delicious. Understand that Kitty a very real person has been the chef there since 1947, when it opened, she still does the cooking so be patient. There are some simple rules to follow for a better experience:
1. Pay with Cash, George doesn’t did the card thing.
2. Don’t ask for steak sauce, it’s not polite for some.
3. Order some homemade cake. I don’t know any other restaurant you can order home made cake.
When your there just relax, read the signage and enjoy the experience.

Best steaks ever, not overly salty like many franchise steakhouse steaks are, and the perfect amount of fresh garlic. This place has lots of history and character. The service is excellent.

Update, September 16, 2017. Just ate a wonderful meal prepared by Kitty. What an amazing lady! Kitty today celebrates 70 years in business and preparing home cooked meals for her patrons! Thanks Kitty!
Good Food, Cozy & Charming! Amazing step back in time - diners and dives would LOVE this place. Great hamburgers and a good steak with lots of fun from Crazy George "You just want water - well here's a pitcher just out of the ditch - I don't know how we make any money on the stuff!" Crazy George has a great sense of sarcasm and charm - apparently some find him scary - I found him to be as charming as the food his 80 plus year old mother prepares. Have I returned YES - And I would highly recommend Kitty's as a fun relaxing step back in time!
One comment to the wise - when the place gets really busy - and yes it can - then it can take a fair amount of time to get your food (although it is worth the wait) - so if you see lots of cars and are pressed for time then maybe you should return when they are not so busy.
But if you go with a spirit of having fun - enjoying a good steak, hamburger or another delightful dish of home cooking then you are bound to enjoy - and make sure to leave room for cake! My favorite is the Blackberry Cake - Kitty makes from scratch!

Amazing steak! Some of the best steak I've ever had! Loved the original old diner and the owners! Relaxed, casual, great place! We'll be back next time we're in town!

Food is amazing(Ordered steak because it's a steakhouse of course) and atmosphere is very friendly. Just don't forget money or a check. No debit cards. 😕
