Have to agree that overall their food is substandard, but i really do like their value breakfasts (Monday thru Friday only, not a fan of their breakfast buffet on the weekends).

About 5 years ago I met some folks for a night of dancing. I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries. You with think that it would be difficult to mess up a chicken sandwich but katie did it. I have never been back

Katie Belles food is bar food, the entertainment makes it worth going. For a better meal Cattle Baron is the place to go and you can still see and hear the entertainment.

surprised!
 
i am surprised that so many think the food is awful...granted, it is not a gourmet restaurant, but for a bite i have enjoyed their burgers, the stuffed flounder dinner and the pork roast marsala just recently...i usually go early so that i have a table when the music starts and the place is always full of happy customers, so they must be doing something right besides the bands.

I agree, Cha x 3, we ate there the other night, I wasn't expecting more than good bar food and that's what I got. The salad I ordered was great and a pizza someone else ordered looked very good. No complaints here.

We've been going there for about 4 years and I can't say I've had a really bad, inedible meal there and prices are very good. Then we work off all that food by dancing all night. Can't beat that???

When I worked downtown at Spanish Springs I used to meet my mother at KB for lunch - we never had a meal that was unacceptable - maybe not always wonderful - but a perfectly fine affordable lunch for a meal on the square. And where else can you go and hear live entertainment at lunch time? I also enjoy dinner at Cattle Barrons - there again - not gourmet but for $9.99 (now maybe a little more until this summer) including a salad bar (such as it is) we always have a good time - and the drink prices are great. Maybe I just enjoy a meal that I don't have to prepare at home.

I also had the brunch at Bonifay the other day and loved it! Good omelet station, biscuits and gravy, and plenty of fresh fruit.

KB's
 
We've always found the food to be OK, not bad enough to send back but not good enough to brag about. It is pretty typical bar food.

Love the word "sucks" when describing food at a restaurant. Really describes what is going on.:shrug:

asianthree 05-17-2012 07:26 PM

as long as the people show up for the dancing the food can stay soso, its when they stop coming that the food will change. Maybe someone that works there will read this and try to improve the food.:shrug:

Maybe Chef Ramsey can be invited to do a show there!

How's Cattle Baron's? Have not been to Katie Belle's for about two years. The last time we went to Cattle Baron's it was good. Not as good as Bone Fish Grill but OK.

Used to like the pizzas sold at Katie Belle's. We would go their more for the music than anything else though.

We ate at Cattle Baron's several times this winter and found the food to be just average at best. It seem inconsistent. Without the entertainment we would not go there. Personally, I think the whole place could use an update.

Both Katie Belles and Cattle Baron are low average for food. If you want really good food, you do not go to those places.

My all out favorite is Lopez Country Club. Great service and excellent food and drinks.
