A Polish & Slavic Restaurant Rooted in Family Traditions
Kat’s is more than a place to grab a meal. It is a family-style restaurant where old-world Polish and Slavic recipes meet Pennsylvania Coal Region comfort food and familiar American favorites.
Some guests come looking for the flavors they grew up with. Some are trying Central and Eastern European cuisine for the first time. Others simply want a homemade meal that tastes like someone cared enough to do it right.
At Kat’s, everyone is welcome. There is something on the menu for everyone to enjoy. Our goal is for every guest to leave happy.
What to Try First at Kat’s
Handmade Pierogies
A must-try for first-time visitors. Kat’s pierogies are handmade with thin dough, hearty fillings, and classic toppings like fried onions, bacon, or sour cream.
Polish Soups
Warm up with old-world favorites like żurek or red beet borscht, made with the kind of flavor that only comes from time, care, and scratch cooking.
Slavic Halupki
Tender stuffed cabbage rolls filled with seasoned meat and rice, finished with your choice of homemade sauce for a comforting Slavic classic.
The Pierogi Burger
Kat’s also brings old and new together with original comfort-food creations like the Pierogi Burger. Definitely not something you’d find in the 1700s — but Kat’s believes tradition has room for modern creativity. After all, food connects us all. And good food is always worth trying for yourself.
Classic Schnitzel
A crispy and juicy, satisfying pork cutlet made to order and served hot, hearty, and full of flavor with an optional fried egg
Letcho Kielbasa
A savory Slavic take on sausage and peppers, made with bell peppers, fresh tomatoes, and authentic smoked kielbasa.
Memorable Experience
Kat and her team promise you a remarkable culinary experience whether you are looking for authentic Central and Eastern European dishes or mouth-watering comfort food from the Pennsylvania coal region.
