This is a hidden gem, one of the best restaurants I've been in , in a while great people place, where everyone is welcome. The food is amazing. While dinning in you never have to ask for anything or ask twice. Keep up the great work Tracey and the ladies.

March 2024 - Cassat deserves more than a blink as you pass by. The post office (open 2 hours daily), the general store (which seems to have more storage space than retail stock), and the Church (with 2 centuries of members’ lives memorialized in the graveyard). But the buffet at the diner was full of activity during my much-overdue first visit. I planned to just eat fried chicken and accidentally got a catfish nugget too. For my following trips to the buffet bar - it was all catfish nuggets!

The food is amazing at this little diner. They have a small buffet to choose from or you can order off of the menu freshly made to order.

Great little restaurant! Customer service is great. Food is so good. Who wouldn't love a home style cooked meal. Prices are great and so is the all you can eat buffet. The owner is super nice and make you feel comfortable as she is serving everyone with a smile!

Here I was I the small town of Cassett checking out a new deer lease and feeling a little hungry...BEHOLD...from outta nowhere this small Cafe appears. Folks, they got some good food and friendly faces. I'm not sure if the fried fish was just Friday's or everyday but they were great. Also some hushpuppies that were made just right.
