Kathy’s Corner

This place is definitely a hole in the wall! Inside out, which ever angle you look at it, this place just screams ugliness. LOL Although I really admire the old Asian couple that run this joint in no way am I cutting them any slack for the mediocre food.
Dry, dry, dry uninspiring chicken. Nothing worthy of mention here and not really worth trying either if you’re on the fence. The only thing that stands out is the affordability of this place.
If you want cheap calories, go ahead!

You get chicken, rice, taters, and salad for a very good price. Good eats for after a workout or something to make some GAINZ. Great price, great food especially for the down town area. I always use hot sauce on the potatoes and rice because it can be bland otherwise (UNLESS UR INTO THAT).

This area is pretty sketchy. I guess that’s why it was called Kathy’s corner. haha.
you a leg man? or breast man? either way come down to Kathy’s cause they be pimpin’ chicken. Rice, potatoes, salad, quarter chicken 5.79+taxes… all in for 6.50. Good value for students on a budget.

Quality rotisserie chicken for great value. I grab take-​out from here for lunch every so often. IMO, the chicken is slightly better than Swiss Chalet/​Metro, mainly because it’s not covered in any mystery sauce. Portions are large, and the lunch specials are cheap. ~7 $ for quarter chicken with two sides. Recommend Greek salad and roast potatoes. I don’t venture much away from that. Salad is always fresh. The owners are real pleasant, and reading through the other reviews this place seems to have a story. Underrated, for sure!

Gave Kathy’s another few tries and its gone back into my regular rotation. The new owners seemed to have found their groove and the food is pretty much back on par with what it was prior to the sale of the business. The staff still aren’t nearly as friendly or welcoming but 4-​stars is worth it for the food alone.
The prices have gone up a tad but you can still get a quarter chicken with salad and potatoes/​rice with a drink for somewhere around $ 7 – 8 and its a decent sized plate (I couldn’t finish it last time).

I’ve been a fan of Kathy’s since 2005, when it was still run by it’s namesake.
6 years and three owners later, I’m still a fan.
This joint is known for it’s chicken, but the daily specials are also pretty good (especially the lima beans and moussaka).
The place itself isn’t much to look at, but quality is consistent, the chicken is roasted to perfection and for under $ 5 you just can’t get a better lunch.

NEW OWNERS!!! Same menu and same great service.

I live next door and literally eat here 5 days a week. Fresh rotisserie chicken made all day, great rice, potatoes and salad. All for like $ 5.75. I don’t know a better deal in the city and the food is always fresh and the couple who owns the place is always nice and smiling.
I love Kathys and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice balanced lunch that super cheap.
5 stars. No question.

The chicken sandwich is ok, but this is not what most ppl are coming here for these days (I hear the sandwich was really good when the previous owner was still there, but unfortunately I didn’t discover the place until after he was gone).
What you should be ordering is a quarter or half a chicken with Greek salad. The Greek salad is everything you’d expect it to be plus the patented sauce the recipe for which was invented by the old man himself, and passed down to the new owners. I don’t know the ingredients and they wouldn’t tell, but it has this zesty citrusy flavor that compliments the chicken in the best possible way. And the rotisserie chicken itself is oh, so good! Crispy skin, juicy meat, deliciously greasy. Mmmm!!!
All in all, there’s nothing fancy about this place, but the food is really good, the prices are hard to beat and the staff is very friendly. So check it out when you’re in the vicinity.

Quality has dropped here since the fat old Greek man sold Kathy’s to a younger couple. The chicken is still good (though I still believe his fat hands gave the food a little something extra) but the sandwich features about half the meat it used to. Still a good deal at $ 6.50 for a sandwich, salad and pop but no longer worth going out of your way for.

I’m not going to say much other than I used to live in a house around the corner from Kathy’s with 5 other guys and they knew all of us by name. It’s 100 steps from a massive supermarket, but we rarely did groceries because we just ate at Kathy’s constantly. It was super cheap and they’re really friendly. It’s just not really a great place to sit down and the options are limited. Still, they’re amazing at what they do.
Too. Much. Goodness.

Kathy’s is one of my regular lunch options as it is not too far of a trek from work, especially when St. Lawrence Market is closed. I always get the rotisserie chicken leg and Greek salad combo. it tastes good, doesn’t give me the 3 pm drowsies at work, and is less than $ 5!!! its definitely a thumbs up for me :)
