What's is there phone number

No phone . I asked why , I was told because they get so busy that phone orders are to overwhelming for the cook .

Are they cash only? Or do they take cards.

Only cash

Is Kitty's open on memorial day?

No

Is Kitty's open labor day?

Not for sure

Are their tenderloins really good and hours for breakfast?

Best tenderloin I've tasted in many years. Open only a few hours a day. Close a 4 pm. I think they open at 11 am.

Are you all closing the restuarant permanently?

No they are on vacation

Do you sell grill cheese sandwiches ?

Yes, but the Tenderloin and the Double Cheeseburger are the best. And get the Tator Tots, they are good too.

A great "tiny" place in mid-town. Pork Tenderloin, BLT and burgers are the style of the place. Pretty much always packed.

We love this place and we go often. Simple and small, with delicious food. Typically busy, so you might have to wait awhile for your food. Nothing fancy. Just good food for a very reasonable price. If you would rather pay big bucks for table service and a million dollar buildout, head someplace else.

What a lovely micro-establishment. The food is simple but delicious. The cheeseburger and fry are my favorites. I was going daily for lunch! The 🍟 are only $2.50 but the bag runneth over. The 🍔 is only $3.75 and surprisingly juicy!Both of the employees running the register are cordial, professional, and quick. Their BLT is great too! The 🥓 is crispy and the toast 👌! The interior is space deprived but that doesn't matter because you are ordering to go😊. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Get some!

Wonderful place for tenderloins. Very light batter, maybe a tempora base. Tenderloins were crispy with sandwiches having 3 pieces on a nicely toasted bun. 2 sandwiches with fries and tater tots, 2 drinks cost less than 20.00.Just a warning, Kitty's only accepts cash!

This is a neat little fast food shop. It was originally started by a Japanese-American couple, after they were released from the Japanese internment camps following the end of WW-II. Since then, it's been sold, and is currently owned and operated by a kind Laos-American fellow.The fried porkloin is your best bet, followed by the chicken. Order the sandwiches with everything on it (unless you're afraid of spicy food!).The clientele is pretty eclectic - it varies from attorneys working in nearby crown center, patrons from nearby martini corner, and neighborhood locals.The building is tiny - plan to get your food to go, because the shop only seats about 5 people.

The best Tenderloin Sandwich I've ever eaten anywhere! Nice small place for buy and go. It does have a small dining section. Place is always clean and is always busy with customers. The staff is always friendly and gives good customer service. I've been going to Kitty's for over 25 years and have not had a bad experience once.

Great food, very reasonably priced. The pork tenderloin sandwich is great for lunch, fills you up, but not too full. If they accepted cards i would give 5 stars. This is a cash only place, but there is a bank of america less than a mile away at 31st and main if you need an ATM.

Very good, affordable food. I'm substracting one star for the fact that they only accept cash, which seems so antiquated in 2019. Unfortunately, that will prevent me from going there more often as I rarely carry cash anymore. I realize it's a small business but they should make the payment transaction as smooth, easy, and frictionless as possible for the client. If that means raising prices a bit (or just absorbing the credit card fees), it's worth it in the long run.

Best tenderloin I've ever had. Instead of the traditional super sized tenderloin, it's 3 hamburger patty sized tenderloins. It's deep fried with a tempora batter, using vodka so that it evaporates when it hits the hot oil leaving a light and crispy batter. With a spicy homemade sauce. I hear the catfish is good, but I can't order anything else. Get the tator tots too. They are crispy on the outside and creamy like mash potatoes inside. Truly amazing!

The reason Kitty’s is so great is it’s simplicity. That and a grill that’s been in use for decades that locks in a flavor that can’t be beat. Be prepared because it’s cash only, but don’t worry the foods more than reasonably priced.Pork tenderloin is battered to perfection with a great heat in the sauce. They also offer what might be the BEST burger in town. It’s not just the grill it’s the love. While you wait for your food read the actual writing on the walls and learn about this gems unique history, it will warm your heart.Don’t forget cash only. And tip the staff they’re awesome!!!

Best pork tenderloin sandwich in town! But it's different then any you've had at other places too. The pork is sliced thin, then tempura battered & they put 3 of those on each sandwich with an amazing home made hot sauce made with Thai chili's! They do a fish sandwich & a chicken version all the same way. Great little greasy burgers too!

My favorite spot in Kansas City. This iconic hole in the wall has a flavor that makes it stand a part from anywhere else around. Don't expect them to change with the times. They only take cash. You're gonna wait for your food because it's cooked fresh and the place is very tiny and wait times behind other customers can be gruelling but it's all worth it because this place is just one of a kind!!!

Delicious food. Simple menu. Fast cooks. Excellent pricing. Can't say enough about this tiny, "hole in the wall" KCMO institution. Definitely try the double cheese burger and if you want some spice, get the fried pork sandwich.

Some of the best burgers in town and their tenderloins are off the chain. Instead of the standard breaded tenderloin it has a few slices of batter dipped loin stacked up. Incredible.

One of KC's best kept secrets, the catfish tenderloin at Kitty's is the ultimate comfort food. Get it with the hot sauce!
