Chef Cassy's Kitchen

We were passing through town around lunchtime on Sunday and decided to stop by Chef Cassy's Kitchen for a bite to eat. Our son and I consider ourselves "experts" when it comes to fried catfish and other reviews have stated how delicious the fried catfish was. It was a no brainer and we both ordered the 3 piece basket. I had the baked mac and cheese and our son had the fries. Our server was very kind and prompt. Our fish was fried to order and was served hot and fresh. The breading had a perfect crunch, seasoned well and the fish was cooked perfectly. Everything you'd want in a fried catfish filet. As we travel, we make it a point to try local spots to see just how good their fried catfish sits on our list. After trying close to 300 different restaurants, Cassy's makes our infamous

We had such a great experience at Chef Cassy’s. The food was absolutely amazing!! Our party of 9 had cheeseburgers, brisket potato, brisket and fries, fried catfish, ribs, and brisket and mac and cheese. Chef Cassy came out and talked to us like we were old friends!! We enjoyed our conversations with her. I would highly recommend going to her restaurant if you are anywhere near Mabank/Gun Barrel City/Eustace.

We stopped by Chef Cassy’s Kitchen in Eustace and were blown away! I got the catfish—perfectly seasoned and crispy—and my husband had the chopped brisket with onion rings that were out of this world. We started with her famous fried collard greens (the ones featured at the State Fair!), and let me tell you, we never liked our Mama’s greens, but we would have if she’d made them like this! Our waitress was exceptional! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. The 90s country music playing in the background was the perfect touch for a small-town Texas meal. Everything tasted homemade and made with love. We’ll definitely be back!

Chef Cassy hand delivered our meal and is one of the sweetest individuals you'll ever meet! We started with her TX Fair famously fried collard greens. Followed by some brisket Mac & Cheese, a fish basket, house salad, chop brisket, green beens, and a chicken tender kids meal to boot! Everything was delicious but the best part was meeting and getting to know Chef Cassy on a deeper level.

Chef Cassy’s restaurant is pure magic! After watching my family have the time of their lives at a private event here, I knew I had to experience it for myself—and wow, it was worth every mile. I flew in all the way from Spain just to taste what I’d been dreaming about, and let me tell you: the food is even better than it looks online (and that’s saying something!). I had the catfish, brisket, green beans, fried greens, and strawberry shortcake. Every single bite was to die for. You can taste the soul, the history, and the love in every dish. But what truly sets this place apart is Cassy herself. She’s one of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Her story is powerful, her spirit is radiant, and her restaurant is a living tribute to her family. You don’t just eat here—you fe
