Kathy’s Choice Catering

Came here on a weekday lunch with two other women. It is a very nice, intimate environment. It took a minute for someone to greet us and seat us. The iced tea was great, it had a little bit of extra flavor but without being sweetened. The menu is a nice mix of salads, sandwiches, wraps and desserts. Everything sounded great so I had a hard time deciding. I went with the Chicken Caesar Wrap, the other ladies I were with got the salad trio and grilled chicken pesto wrap.
I really liked my wrap, it tasted fresh and was very flavorful, it had some unique flavorful and textures and was one of the better Caesar wraps I have had. Both of the lunch companions also were satisfied with their meals as well.
After they took our order, we never saw our waiter again. My iced tea was empty a good portion of the time and no one refilled it, same with the waters at the table. It also took us awhile to get someone to give us our ticket.
I will likely be back again but hope the service is a little more attentive and would not come here for a quick trip.

I had a phone conversation with Kathy today that was less than desirable. I was very shocked at her tone with me, a perspective customer seeking a caterer for my special event. Over the duration of our 8 minute conversation her tone sounded as if I was being a bother to her. She was very short in her answers as I sought clarity for things that were posted on her website but she was saying were no longer options. She concluded our conversation by saying to me, «You know I can’t deal with this right now but if you want to call me back later I can.» Then she hung up! How rude and disappointing that the owner of the company would behave in such a way.

I decided to be a risk taker today and be the only man at a tea room. I had the Caesar salad with tortellini and salmon and at $ 13 it was a little pricey for lunch but it was very good and filling. Dessert was also a little pricey for the Black Russian cake but it was delicious and left me wanting another slice for dinner. I have no idea how long Kathy has been cooking in the corner and I work down the street but they seemed to have a good crowd in there and I’ll probably be apart of that crowd again soon (and the only man).

I finally made it into the restaurant! It’s tucked away in a little shopping center off of Coit. They have a cute little patio out front. The eating areas only seat a max of maybe 80 people. It’s small but doesn’t feel cramped.
For my meal I ordered the trio salad of fruit, cranberry chicken salad and Caesar salad. All were wonderful. The fruit salad came with some sort of whipped yogurt on top. The cranberry chicken salad was sweet but not too sweet. It complimented the chicken well. The Caesar salad was great! They went light on the dressing and on the cheese but it still had such a pop of flavor!
The staff here is incredibly friendly. They’re quick to bring your food and fill drinks before it reaches half empty. Prices are decent. The trio salad is around $ 9 and it’s a lot of food.
Overall a great place! I definitely recommend coming here for lunch.

This is a very cute establishment! It is obvious that the owners have put in a lot of love and attention to detail! The food is tasty, hands down best Cranberry Chicken Salad I have had. Besides soups, salads & sandwiches they also sell delicious. no seriously delicious cupcakes and cookies! Oh my gosh, if you get a chance you must try the carrot cake! The Pulled Pork is fantastic as well! This last time I went I tried the Grilled Bologna Sandwich which had bacon and coleslaw on it served with chips! Oh so fatty but oh soooo good!

I have always been very impressed with Kathy’s Catering… but I had never been to her restaurant until today. I must stay that I was more than impressed! Our waitress recommend the Memphis Bologna Sandwich and I was very skeptical, but it was, by far, the best sandwich I have ever eaten! Ever. We topped it off with some of the amazing German Chocolate Cake and we rolled ourselves home!
On top of the consistently amazing food, you will always be greeted by Kathy’s cheerful staff or Kathy herself!
Whether you need Catering or an amazing lunch location, Kathy’s Choice is sure to impress!

Kathy’s Choice makes the best cupcakes I have ever had. My husband and I had 5 different flavors of cupcakes at our wedding and people could not get enough of them! They were so moist and had just the right amount of sweetness. We hardly had any leftovers. Kathy was very helpful when it came to making sure that we had everything we needed and her husband Bill did an extraordinary job on the design on the groom’s cake. My husband and I will be getting all our cakes and cupcakes from them from now on.

Kathy’s Choice has the BEST lunches! I’ve been several times and am always impressed! The service is awesome! You are greeted by Kathy herself and her great staff when you walk in! It’s not like going out to eat… it’s almost like dining at a good friend’s home! The Cranberry Chicken Salad is something you just have to taste! It is outstanding! Definitely the BEST in Texas! (And yes, I’ve tried other places)
My other favorite is the jalepeno grilled cheese on sour dough! AMAZING!
The desserts are always new and AWESOME! Cupcake and cookie creations are delicious!
If you haven’t been by yet, you are definitely missing Richardson’s best kept secret! Go in and tell Kathy Kim M sent you! :):)

I don’t normally give five stars to a tea room however this one I found to be exceptional. The menu is limited and the just may be mostly senior females, however I broke the barrier along with one other gentleman for lunch today. The menu is most sandwiches and salads with some deserts. We have the chicken salad and the turkey sandwich and both were excellent although a little price however I understand that is normal for tea rooms. This little gem is in the middle of the shopping center and inside a corner courtyard. A little hard to see and in fact you cannot see it from the street. Look for the overhead sign in the corner at the front of the courtyard. We had excellent service. Also split a desert which was individually prepared as we watched the preparation being done in the kitchen. The tea was «passion fruit» iced tea and delicious. They also do catering for receptions, weddings and businesses. This was a very nice lunch experience as I got to listen to all those around our table and the conversations were as good from the seniors as what I would find at Starbucks.

Great for a date lunch or even business!
My husband and I enjoyed service, food and atmosphere. We had a seat inside but looking out on the courtyard. Read the menu carefully as many combinations are available plus daily specials. My husband’s Caesar salad was tasty with just the right amount of real Caesar dressing and the surprise of tortellini. Love the big shavings of Parmesan cheese!
I had the gourmet version of my childhood favorite — tomato soup and grilled cheese. The grilled pimento cheese sandwich was unlike any other with the special recipe — mouth watering! The tomato basil soup was hearty, fresh with much flavor that is well blended. My new choice for tomato basil soup. Hope they serve all summer.
The bonus — you can leave with a tub of chicken salad (a few to choose from) and frozen cookie dough already shaped for the oven. And if it’s a hot day — well then — more childhood favorites — cookie dough!

The volunteers with Celenese brought us box lunches from Kathy’s Choice and it was a great change of pace from the average box lunch or sandwich.
I’m going to start with the best part. The cookie. Do you like Oreoes? Do you like Chocolate chip cookies? Do you have a problem choosing between the two? Wish… GRANTED! *clap clap*
Kathy’s Choice has a chocolate chip cookie that has an oreo baked IN (that’s right, inside!). So I looked at the cookie and thought to myself, «This cookie is rather fat,» thinking I got two chocolate chip cookies stuck together, but shrugged and took it anyway. Little did I know what a delectable treat I had just plundered. It was, perhaps, the best cookie I’ve had in a LONG time. I’ve always had problems keeping an oreo on top of a chocolate chip cookie. There’s just not an easy way to do it, folks. Someone needs to bake it inside. Enter Kathy’s Choice.
Okay, so the sandwich. I got the Ham and Cheese. It was delicious. It comes on a croissant and you can taste it. The croissant has the buttery taste you’ve come to love. The lettuce was crisp, the ham was plentiful and the cheese in correct proportions to the ham. This was a well made and tasty sandwich.
I passed on the pasta salad. It didn’t look great, but the others ate theirs without saying anything positive or negative.
Another plus, it comes with two mini York mints. That takes this to a whole ‘nother level. What a nice touch.
My choice caters to Kathy’s… choice… catering.
