Where Is The Country Cat Dinner House & Bar Now? (Portland, OR)

Best Thing I Ever Ate, Season 9, Episode 15

In the episode 'Layers of Goodness' (S9E15), the series featured The Country Cat Dinner House & Bar, a Pacific Northwest-focused dinner house and bar at 7937 SE Stark Street in southeast Portland, Oregon. According to Yelp, updated September 2026, that Stark Street location is marked 'CLOSED.' Wikipedia's entry on the restaurant reports that the original Stark Street restaurant operated from 2007 to 2019, that a second location opened inside Portland International Airport in 2015, and that the airport location relocated to a new pre-security spot in a remodeled terminal in 2024.

The business's own site, thecountrycat.net, continues to use the Country Cat name. Because the location featured in the episode is no longer operating and the business now runs only from the airport, this record reflects a change of location rather than a closure.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 18, Episode 2 Aired September 2, 2013

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' 'Meat Lover's Paradise' episode (aired 2013-09-02), Guy Fieri visited The Country Cat, a Southern-style restaurant then operating in southeast Portland, Oregon, sampling hearty, meat-forward dishes built around the restaurant's from-scratch approach to Southern comfort food. According to Wikipedia, the original Country Cat operated in southeast Portland from 2007 to 2019, and a second Country Cat location has operated inside the Portland International Airport's main terminal since 2015. The restaurant's website, thecountrycat.net, checked 2026-09-08, promotes only the airport location, listing the address as 7000 NE Airport Way, Portland, and advertising it as open daily from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. with online ordering for travelers. The site's homepage banner reads 'NEW LOCATION in PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.. NOW OPEN IN THE MAIN TERMINAL,' consistent with Wikipedia's account of the business's move from its original neighborhood address to the airport terminal.
