4 /5 Bill: For some reason Id never heard of Katrinas Cafe before and I come to Auburn for breakfast semi regularly. Someone told me they have the best biscuits and gravy in the foothills so I had to investigate. Im not a huge biscuit fan, thats my wifes thing, but I am in to gravy. We were greeted and seated very quickly. The server was friendly and she got even more friendly once she found out we were newbs.
The server gave us several suggestions and my wife ordered the Lemon Yogurt Pancakes. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. She loved her pancakes and even offered me a bite, they tasted great. The CFS tasted great even without the gravy, which it not usually the case. Starting with a 9/10 steak and then putting 9/10 gravy on it #chefskiss. The chicken fried steak was excellent. Unfortunately the potatoes were dry and unflavorful except for salt. Even the gravy couldnt help the potatoes. The toast was dry and room temp like it sat out too long.
They were slammed so Im not going to dock the service for having empty coffee cups for over 15 minutes. I didnt see much coordination between the servers, it didnt seem like they werent helping each other but again it could have just been a busy day. Ill update the review after the next visit.
