Our Story

Springfield has been eating cashew chicken since the 1960s. It is on menus at diners, drive-thrus and gas stations from Republic to Strafford, and every family in town has an opinion about whose is best.

Cashew Kitty is our love letter to that tradition. We started with the classic Springfield method (bite-size chicken, a light batter, a hot fryer, and a rich brown gravy) and spent a long time getting the gravy exactly right. Then we got a cat.

The cat does not cook. The cat supervises. We believe this is why the gravy is so good.

We're putting the finishing touches on our kitchen now. When we open, you'll find a clean, friendly dining room, a fast drive-thru, generous portions, and prices that make sense for a weeknight.

See you soon, Springfield.
