The Country Cat is a Southern^[1] restaurant in Portland, Oregon. The original restaurant operated in southeast Portland from 2007 to 2019, and a second location has operated at the Portland International Airport since 2015.

History

Adam and Jackie Sappington opened the original restaurant in southeast Portland's Montavilla neighborhood in 2007, followed by a second at the Portland International Airport in 2015.^[2] The Montavilla restaurant closed in 2019, but the airport location continued to operate.^[3]^[4] In 2023, the business confirmed plans to convert the airport location into more of a deli and market.^[5]

In 2013, the original location was featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, hosted by Guy Fieri.^{[citation needed]}

In 2024 due to the Portland Airport being remodeled, The Country Cat relocated to a pre-security location in the new terminal.^[6]^[7]
