  We were at an event at the Hyatt and decided to get at Catty. There was a line becuase its lunch time in the city, but the line moved quickly.
  The food was definitely worth it, tasted like it was straight from Momma's kitchen. The baked chicken, cabbage, the gumbo, the mashed potatoes (that was no box), even the club sandwich was good with that little crunch on the end of the toast. Oh wait that yams!!! With a little marshmallows melted on top...
  This is definitely a place to return to!

  The food was pretty good. Not great.  They are inside the big Amaco building so I almost didn't find it. Looks like a very popular lunch place.  The price was pretty good. Might try them for breakfast tomorrow. The breakfast prices seem very reasonable

  Do you like soul food?
  Do you like well cooked food?
  Do you like cheap prices?
  Do you like large portion sizes?
  
  Then this is the place for you! During my stay at New Orleans, I frequently visited this restaurant. I like the interior. I loved the layout... they have an area where you can sit where the television sets are located. They also have a more secluded area where you can sit, if you desire privacy. Both areas were clean and well stocked with utensils, napkins and condiments.
  
  This eatery is super popular during certain hours. Everything is made fresh and they tend to sellout rapidly! It's first come, first serve for the order of the day.
  The food was bomb! Honestly, truly...it was extremely savory. I ordered almost everything from the sandwiches to the breakfast items during our stay.
  
  The workers are incredibly nice. I had one instance where my mom and I were racing against the clock to pick up our order before the restaurant closed. We were stuck at the French Market and waiting for the next tour bus to hop on to. Traffic was INSANE. When we called, they told us they would have our order waiting for us to up to an hour after closing time; we just needed to knock on the door. How awesome is that!
  
  My family and I loved visiting this restaurant...we went every single day we stayed in NOLA. Next time we visit, we'll definitely be there.
  Can't wait to see you again, Catty Car Corner. Stay fabulous!

  So never been here before but the came twice in 2 days! Lol! First day got the ribs, cabbage and cauliflower! The vegetables are delicious! I could have just eaten that! The ribs were good, one was better than the other, the other one was a little chewy, but still tasted good. Second day, got the chicken salad on croissant, gumbo and some chips. I love me some delicious chicken salad! I ate all of it and wanted more! I'll definitely be back. Service was great and quick and everyone's super nice. Huge menu so you could probably go every day of the week and get something different!

  If you like cafeteria style restaurants that serve hot daily lunch specials, then Catty Car Corner might be a place you should try.  Located on Poydras Street in the ground floor of the Amoco Building, this restaurant caters to the west side of the CBD; especially to those in walking distance, as free on-street parking is nearly non-existent in the immediate area.  So if you are driving, try and find a meter, or simply go to a pay lot or garage.
  
  Although they also serve breakfast, I have never had the opportunity to try it.  However, I have dined here for lunch on multiple occasions and have never been disappointed.  The actual footprint of the restaurant is fairly small and the tables are very close in proximity to one another to maximize seating.  Furthermore, it's pretty loud in here.  But don't let that detract you from what brought you here in the first place; and that's the food.
  
  Catty Car Corner serves 5-6 different hot specials every day.  These are comfort food at their best.  I can personally vouch for the baked chicken, the rosemary chicken, and the fried catfish. And the meatloaf is good enough that you may want to slap ya' momma when you taste it.  Furthermore, they have a damn good "combination " gumbo with chicken, sausage & okra.  These meals aren't for the faint of heart, especially once you add your 2 side dishes.  If you are looking for a little less food, try one of their salads (especially the Cobb) or perhaps a sandwich.
  
  There is no table service here, only counter service.  Although usually crowded, the line moves quickly and the prices are pretty reasonable.
