Cathy’s Westway Cafe, the diner that took over the space at 1214 W. Pawnee in August after the short-lived On the Fly Family Restaurant closed, is going to start experimenting with 24-hour weekend service starting on Friday.
Owner Cathy Hetterscheidt, who’s operated several restaurants around town, including the former Cathy’s Diner at 206 E. Kellogg, said that there’s a demand for dining among the third-shift working crowd, especially between 2 and 4 a.m. She’s had several customers ask her to provide it, she said.
Her new hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. Then, she’ll open at 6 a.m. on Fridays and remain open until 2 p.m. on Sundays. The restaurant specializes in breakfast dishes and items such as country fried steak.
Hetterscheidt also is planning a benefit event on Saturday for Rylee Spears, an 8-year-old Goessel girl who was seriously injured in a rollover car accident in August. The restaurant will put on a car and bike show in the parking lot all day on Saturday and will serve hot dogs and hamburgers. There’s a $5 entry fee for those who want to show their cars and bikes, and trophies will be awarded. Entrants can register the day of the show.
