Kathy’s Restaurant & Lounge

Been eating here for years… I’ve never had a bad meal. Service is typically very good. If ever there is an issue, Kathy will go out of her way to make things right. She’s almost always there, and really takes care of her customers.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal here. Love the coconut shrimp, chicken dumpling soup and of course, the chicken salad. It’s a cozy little spot in downtown Flushing to grab a delicious and filling meal.

Consistently great food and good service. Been there at every time of the day. Good breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Been here a few times, today we ordered in from work. I had the Club Sandwich and a cup of the Chicken & Dumpling Soup. The sandwich was OK, I’ve had better. The bread looked toasted but wasn’t really and it was kind of soggy. First time I’ve ever had a ‘Club Sandwich’ warm, usually they are cold sandwiches.
At first I was put off by the soup and kind of disappointed as they put it in a beverage cup with a plastic lid, yes with a straw hole! It was leaking all over. this being said. it was the BEST Chicken & Dumpling soup I’ve ever had. It was so flavorful and delicious. If you stop into Kathy’s try this soup!
We also tried the fried pickles. Not anything I would have again. They were small, the breading soggy and real salty.

Food in general is good. I don’t go there for the steak or prime rib because you cant get it rare which is IMO the only way beef should be consumed. But at this time they have all you can eat crab legs on Thursday and that is great. On other days they have several chicken or salmon dishes that are all very good.
Flushing is a cool little town with a lot of things going on through out the year and Kathy’s fits right in, they are a little bit old school in there menu which is great I just wish i could get a rare steak.

Had coconut shrimp. Server misquoted serving size. Cole slaw served in shot glass size bowls. Finished our side dish even arrived. First and last trip to Kathys.

we dined al fresco for lunch. food was excellent. I had the Zesto Pesto sandwich and fries and wife and friend loved the Bruschetta wrap. service and food were great. the place has been around forever, and it is terribly dark and dated inside. if you need to find your way to the bathrooms, you may need a headlamp to get upstairs (watch your step). glad to see the hometown favorite still going strong as they had a good crowd for a Friday early afternoon. absolutely will be back when in Flushing.

My husband and I eat at Kathy’s several times a year. The food has always been good. Only once did we have terrible service; usually service is great. My only problem with Kathy’s is the dated, décor. It is in serious need of an update!

This place is odd. I wanted to like it but between the non existent service and the crappy food I can’t possibly re comes it to anyone. Granted the staff wasn’t rude and it has a cute old feel to it some people may like it but I would look for other options if I were you.

This place is a bit classy, but in a very dated kind of way. Everything from the food to the décor is dated. It’s the kind of place your grandparents might take you to. It is popular with locals because of the bar, and simply because it’s local.

Excellent tasty well prepared food with great service. Fantastic menu of Western food with great desserts. Service was wonderful and the owner Kathy specially came around to enquire about the food and service. Highly recommended Restaurant in Flushing, Michigan

I’d give this place 4 stars as I eat there quite often. The food is consistant and freshly made. Some things are much better than others.
I’ll attempt to steer you away from the bad and towards the good.
Soup: The chicken and dumpling and beer cheese soups are amazing. They are both incredibly flavorful. The chili is also very good, if they have it, and its also a bit spicy. Stay away from the clam chowder though. I don’t know why, but it’s far below the quality of their other soups. It’s extremely salty and I expect the clams are canned. In short stay away.
Sandwiches: The Zesto pesto and The Depot are both amazing. The french dip is hit or miss. Sometimes the meat can be a bit overcooked and or bland. The one flatbread (nan) sandwich I had was delicious. I’ve been told the June bug is good, but I’ve personally never
.
Sides: mashed potatoes
be seasoned they’re made fresh in house, but are sadly.very.bland. However, the French fries are amazing.
Dinner: The queen cut prime rib is one of the best deals ive ever had on a steak. Great quality, taste and the price is unbeatable.
The service is usually very good.

Great chicken and dumpling soup for when you’re not feeling well and I love their sandwich The Depot! Very Very delish!

This is a consistently tasty place to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. The service is usually quite fast and they have a wide selection of food but not so much that dishes are generic or «canned.» The fare is Midwestern American and they have a variety of «specials» each day. Most recently, I had charbroiled chicken with BBQ sauce and mashed potatoes with Asian Slaw. The Slaw was the only portion of the meal I found disappointing. It had a bit too much going on between the strong teriyaki dressing which overpowered the dried cranberries and cabbage, chopped tomatoes & zucchini. The chicken itself was flavorful and falling-​off-​the-​bone-​tender. Kathy’s also has a basic beer/​wine list and a handful of excellent desserts.

I was really for a good meal and my wife really wanted a nice piece of prime rib so she called Kathys and asked if they had a start time on it. They indicated they did not (I should have understood then). So off we went Now it was a bit early on a sunday but the place was fairly empty just one other party. My wife got the prime rib and I got coconut shrimp. The salads were ok and wine serviceable. When the food came it hers was a very thin overcooked piece of meat, Not a trace of pink, My shrimp was likewise overcooked, the coconut was fried to a CHRISP half black, half dark brown. We showed the meat to the waitress and asked if this was what the restaurant considered medium and to her credit she went right into the kitchen and came back saying they «dropped» another one and muy wife would have the first one for home. All well and good but at that point I was just going to eat my shrimp and not send it to the garbage where it belonged. I questioned her about «dropping’ a piece of prime rib and it turns out they cook it one piece at a time. Rather that cooking a whole rib and cutting off pieces for customers. Cooking one piece at a time is what they do in coney islands not nice places. They charge nice prices but the food doesnt have the quality necessary to charge those prices, The service was very good though.

We were in Flushing the other morning and wanted to have breakfast in a ‘real’ restaurant. We discovered Kathy’s and it was wonderful! I ordered the Cinnamon Breakfast (can’t remember the entire name) but it was scrambled eggs with Ham and cheese mixed in, a HUGE fresh fruit cup (strawberries, watermelon, grapes, blueberries. .) and a delicious Cinnamon Bun. .. what a yummy combo. My husband had a breakfast sandwich and said it was yummy. The coffee is excellent as well. I love that they use cloth napkins! We will definitely be back. They open at 9 or 9:30 AM.

I’ve been here a few times and the food has never disappointed me. I believe this is a local favorite for many, but I can’t discover anything special about the place. I wouldn’t mind coming back here though. There’s a «front» and a «back» and the front has more ambiance.
The last time I was there it was stuffy and smelled awful in there… almost like a steamy kitchen with several sweaty cooks. Maybe it was because it was ll you can eat crab legs that night… not sure. If I would’ve been alone I would’ve turned around and gone to a different restaurant, that didn’t smell like armpit.
This was only this once though… the other times I’ve been there it was a lot better.

I’ve had lunch here a handful of times, and the food has always been tasty. This afternoon I lunched at Kathy’s with my grandma, and ordered the Cod Catch (two pieces of crispy battered cod on a French roll with lettuce, tomato, and tarter on the side). Not necessarily gourmet eating, but it definitely hit the spot. The service was a little slow, but I’ll give Kathy’s the benefit of the doubt because the lunch crowd was in full force. Overall — a nice place to eat that’s right in downtown Flushing.
