I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Located in the Shenandoah Valley foothills, Staunton’s own Kathy’s Restaurant first opened its doors in 1986. Serving up great food and service all in the atmosphere of a classic diner has made Kathy’s a popular place. Along with a vast number of regulars, customers also travel far and wide to have a meal here. Let’s see why!
While growing up in the Shenandoah Valley, Kathy enjoyed simple homemade meals made with fresh ingredients and eating with family around the dinner table. These ideas are at the heart of her restaurant and what makes it such a special, nostalgic place.
For four straight years, Kathy's has been voted Best Breakfast in the Shenandoah Valley. With an extensive menu and large portions of delicious food, anyone can see why.
Breakfast is served all day at Kathy's! Try one of the many omelettes or a gourmet bacon pancake with bacon cooked right in it (yum!) Roll-ups (thin pancakes rolled with fruit filling inside) are on the menu and there are many options for those as well. Portions are huge, so bring your appetite!
Grilled hamburgers, B.L.T.s, tuna melts, Reubens, and club sandwiches are just a few of the classic lunch and dinner menu items served at Kathy's, and all of it is delicious!
If you are looking for something a little different to eat, look no further than the fried oysters, served fresh in season. These have become quite the popular menu item.
With its cozy interior and welcoming staff, you will feel right at home here at Kathy's. And whether you choose to sit at the counter or at a table, your server will provide friendly service and plenty of coffee refills.
