Menu

The restaurant from Brooklyn offers 763 different courses and drinks on the menu at an average price of $7.8.

In a beloved Brooklyn diner, opinions sharply diverge. While some patrons fondly recall its rich history and rave about the breakfast options, including pancakes and turkey sausages, others express deep dissatisfaction, citing poor service and rude staff. Many have encountered unappetizing meals, stale bagels, and troubling allegations regarding the demeanor of the counter staff. Despite the mixed reviews, the eatery remains a nostalgic destination for some, especially those who appreciate hearty American fare and generous portions. However, patrons advise potential diners to approach with caution, as experiences can range dramatically from delightful to disheartening.

Was Bunny Ebanks at Cathy's Place a mag?
This neighborhood diner is fantastic. I made the perfect choice with the pancakes and turkey sausages. It's a great spot for seniors. My only suggestion would be for the owner to improve the ventilation system. The food was top-notch, 5 out of 5 stars. View all feedback.

What George dislikes about Cathy's Place:
This place must be an old Brooklyn staple but there's no way I would ever eat there again. The service was terrible for an empty diner. Food service took over 20 minutes and there were no other patrons. I ordered a simple for sure meal(cheeseburger deluxe) and it was a No way... Hard pass on this placeFood: 1/5 View all feedback.

Omelette was cooked until rock hard. Bagels were stale. The lady talking orders was incredibly rude and appeared to be on drugs (sleeping on the counter and slurring words). She also changed the prices arbitrarily when giving the bill, essentially tried to double my bill. I didn't pay it because that's a scam and a half. Don't go here. Not sure how they are allowed to stay in business.

The food at this restaurant is outstanding. We dined here two days in a row and also tried a few other restaurants nearby, but this diner was definitely the best. I would rate the food a 5 out of 5.
