There are dozens of restaurants in New Orleans that have stood the test of time and become local favorites. This particular restaurant is no exception, having served mid-city residents for over 30 years. Let’s take a closer look at one of the city’s most beloved restaurants.
Nestled in the heart of Mid-City, Katie’s has been delighting New Orleanians since 1984.
plbbob/Trip Advisor Founded by Leo Leininger, the name of the restaurant was the idea of his daughter, Cathy, who decided to name the restaurant after her grandmother.
In 1993, the Leininger family sold the business to the Craig family, who continued to uphold the family legacy.
YooperBart/Trip Advisor Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina devastated the restaurant in 2005. Through hard word and that New Orleans determination, they rebuilt and Katie’s opened its doors again in 2010.
When you dine at Katie’s, you’re one of the family.
Zandhei/Trip Advisor It’s a casual, friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy a delightful conversation with your friends and family.
The menu is filled with Creole-Italian inspired cuisine that you’re sure to love.
KMB_GA/Trip Advisor From pasta to pizza and everything in between, there’s something for everyone here at Katie’s.
Start your meal off with an order of swamp fries for the table.
KMB_GA/Trip Advisor But make sure you add on the debris gravy, trust us.
Their po’boys are legendary.
Dana E./Trip Advisor Particularly the roast beef. Bring a bunch of friends and order “The Barge”: an entire genius French loaf over stuffed with fried shrimp, catfish, and oysters. This beast of a sandwich feeds 2-4 people, so make sure you come hungry!
You can find Katie’s Restaurant at 3701 Iberville St, New Orleans, Louisiana 70119
