We stopped here while driving through. An excellent place to eat! Very laid back environment, a little place to eat that reminds you of home. All of the waitresses were attentive. The food was super quick, delicious, and brought to us when it came off the grill. I will definitely come back here.

I stopped at Cathy’s Country Cupboard for a quick lunch, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. This was a random stop, but I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The service was warm and welcoming—everyone was friendly and made me feel right at home. You can tell the staff really care about their customers. The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. I tried a little bit of everything, and it all tasted like homemade comfort food at its best. This place is definitely different from what I'm used to, in the best way possible. The homemade pecan pie was a standout dessert—rich, sweet, and perfectly baked. If you go, do yourself a favor and try it! The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable, and parking was easy, which made the visit even smoother. Another thing worth mentioning is the great value—you get generous portions of delicious food at a price that feels more than fair. It’s the kind of place where you leave feeling full, satisfied, and like you got more than your money’s worth. I’d absolutely come back again. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Cathy’s Country Cupboard is well worth the stop.

Great place to come for good ole Southern comfort food. It's very a homey environment, quick friendly service and pretty darn good catfish and hush puppies! Super super cheap but great food

Cathy’s has wonderful food and wonderful service as well. I’ve eaten there many times and have never been disappointed. Cathy’s has a down home atmosphere and fast service.

Our friend brought some of Cathy's pies over tonight. The portion size was awesome. But most of all, all three pies tasted so good. Pecan, chocolate and coconut creme pies. I would definitely recommend coming here.

It's SOOO GOOODD. My boyfriend and I love to eat breakfast there and I always get the hamburger steak for dinner with a potato. We got a hot fudge cake last time. So good and affordable.

First time customer. Very good! I had a hard time deciding. As I wasn't a fan of the special today. But, our waitress helped me out. We had plenty of food. I took half my meal home! Great atmosphere. Very busy there. Good service. Not too long for food to come either. I want to go again! We had a chicken strip plate with the salad bar and baked potato. And catfish dinner with salad bar and a baked potato. Very good. Chicken strips were better than expected!
