Katie’s Restaurant on Iberville Street in Mid-City New Orleans has been a neighborhood institution since it opened, serving the New Orleans comfort food and seafood that Mid-City locals eat rather than the tourist-facing versions that line the French Quarter. It appeared in Season 11, Episode 10 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Fully Loaded,” which aired March 21, 2011. Guy Fieri found a Mid-City kitchen doing New Orleans food from scratch with the generosity and authenticity that earns a neighborhood restaurant its multi-decade loyal following — stuffed bell peppers, seafood plates, and the daily specials that reflect what’s fresh and what the kitchen wants to cook that day.

What to Eat
The Stuffed Bell Peppers with seasoned ground beef, rice, and Creole tomato sauce are the Mid-City New Orleans classic that Katie’s does better than almost anyone. The Fried Catfish Platter with coleslaw and hush puppies is the seafood centerpiece that earns repeat visits. The Red Beans and Rice with smoked sausage — the Monday tradition in New Orleans — are the daily staple that defines what a neighborhood restaurant in this city is supposed to do. The Seafood Gumbo, thick with shrimp, crab, and okra in a dark roux, is the bowl worth ordering as a starter. The Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce is the New Orleans dessert that closes every proper meal at Katie’s. Find a New Orleans hotel on Trivago.
