The hospitality was phenomenal, with the staff being so welcoming and fun! Although I live super far away from the restaurant, next time I'm in the area I'll definitely be coming back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stopped here for lunch on a roadtrip home after a girls’ weekend in eastern pa.  Kat’s is fantastic! The food was delicious and Kat, the owner was incredibly personable and spent time at our table telling us about her life and her travels. My friend is Celiac and there were SO MANY options for her to enjoy. Kat herself is gf, so she takes it very seriously. I’m not from the area but the next time I’m passing through I will definitely stop here!
