How dare they even try to serve it to someone?? Someone else may Not have spoken up. I do. And someone mentioned you get what you pay for. the pizza at dinner time you can do better with frozen from supermarket. Also $7.00 for a slice of cake is NOT reasonable and should be absolutely delicious for that price and its an average piece of carrot cake. They most likely are more concerned with selling drinks then pleasing the diners. Better quality is needed if they want customers to return.

We've never had a bad meal at Katie Bells. Not great but not bad either. When we have guests from the north we sometimes take them Katie Bells and when they are in TV for another visit it's not unusual for them to ask to go there. The entertainment is what makes the visit worthwhile, not the food.
As someone who has worked in restaurants years ago, I would never, ever send the food back to the kitchen. Likewise, I would never berate a server, bartender or anyone else who handles my food or beverage. I've seen firsthand what happens when food goes back to the kitchen or you pi$$ off your server and it ain't pretty and it happens everywhere. If I'm unhappy with a meal I'll talk with the manager before leaving and try to get something taken off the tab or get a freebee for a return visit. You'll never win a battle with the restaurant staff. You may think you have but they know better.

Three of us had breakfast there this morning. The steak and egg special was very good. The mimosas only 88 cents. The total for 3 of us $20.04, nice.

You will never get real quality food at the prices Katie Belles charges.They are not in the business to go out of business,you get what you pay for.If your looking for fine dining you need to travel outside of TV.If your looking for an entertaining evening with decent bar food at very reasonable prices, Katie Belles is the place.
