  • Mothers Day Buffet

    May 10, 2026 only
    *** Just added a 3rd seating due to filling up so fast for the first 2 seatings. Celebrate the leading ladies in your life at our highly anticipated annual Mother’s Day Buffet, a local tradition known for its elegant spread and warm atmosphere. While our curated seasonal menu will be officially unveiled two weeks before the big day, you can expect the same exceptional quality and variety that makes this event a perennial favorite. Reservations are officially open, and because we typically reach full capacity well in advance, we encourage you to secure your table early. Don't miss the chance to treat Mom to a stress-free afternoon of indulgence and appreciation!

    We had heard great things about the Cast buffets in the past. Please be aware before you go! Buffet not stocked and had to make three trips just to get proteins for the table. Twice-baked potatoes seemed to have been baked at least five times...overcooked and hard. Brussels sprouts were flavorless, hard and dry. Green beans were barely cooked at all. Chicken was cooked perfectly, but no one was able to eat the greens stuffed inside. There were a few edible dishes, including the pasta, mac and cheese, and macaroni salad, if you want to load up on carbs. I was told the salmon was okay as well. I can't speak about the dessert, since there was only one choice available when I was looking for it. There was food on the floor around our table when we arrived. We informed our server, so no one (including us) would slip in it and fall. She said they would take care of it after we leave, so we had to be very careful where we stepped. Not easy for the elderly folks in our party. We really wanted to do something nice for Mom today, but this was one of the worst experiences ever!

    Brunch is always so so good! Breakfast pizza is a staple and add in the mimosa bucket - perfect Sunday morning!

    While the service was excellent and the comfortability was reasonable, the food was bland and drowned at the same time . 40 dollars in uber and $47 in food waste it as truly you live and learn experience. I ordered the steak and fettuccine and it had more sauce than steak. I enjoyed watching the apparent locals enjoying their drinks but ordered my ride back before I even finished my meal.

    We had to go to the bar to ask where our food was after waiting a long time. They had brought food for one couple, while the other couple, meaning us, had to request ours. As a result, our food was cold by the time it arrived, and strangely, their food was cold too. The $5.00 discount offered was insulting, considering we paid for both the food and the service.

    Hey Alejandro, sorry for your experience a couple Sundays ago. Unfortunately we did run into some management issues. We have since moved onto someone else to help manage these busier shifts. We apologize for inconvenience and a bad experience. - Jeff

    Food was delicious with a surprisingly reasonable tab for 2 including drinks, appetizer, salads, entrees and desert. Try the Peach Cobbler Tacos. Highly recommend.

    The food was really good but the servers seemed very confused - they tried to give our food to another table, tried to give someone else’s appetizer to us, and we observed other instances of them taking drinks/checks/waters to the wrong tables. It was good entertainment, but we weren't sure what was going on!

FAQs

It can be a nice casual date-night choice if you want good food and a relaxed Southern-casual vibe, but it’s not a quiet, formal romantic spot. Guests praise the food, brunch, and friendly servers, and some describe it as a fun place for drinks or watching a game. However, others mention loud music, bright lighting, and occasional rushed service, so consider an early weeknight or a quieter table (ask when you book) if you want a more intimate evening.

Portion sizes are generally satisfying and good value, guests frequently praise generous burgers, fries, and brunch items. Several guests call the fries a standout, and many say entrees feel reasonable for the price. That said, a few guests reported a couple of items that seemed skimpy (one panini had little meat) or smaller-than-expected, so portions can vary by dish. If you’re concerned, ask your server about portions or share plates to sample more.

Cast Plates and Pints is open daily for lunch and dinner from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and the restaurant now offers weekend brunch. For holiday buffets and special events (Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day) hours can vary, so call ahead or check their reservation info before visiting on a holiday.

Family-friendly seating: yes, many guests bring families, celebrate holidays, and the restaurant handles large groups and buffets (Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day). The team also accommodated a reservation increase for a party of 18, showing flexibility for groups. Accessibility details (ramps, ADA seating) aren’t stated in the available information, so call ahead if you need specific accessible seating or accommodations.

For a lively brunch experience, weekend mornings (Sunday brunch) are popular and highly recommended. If you prefer quicker service and a quieter meal, try weekday evenings or early dinner times, several guests note non-busy weeknights are calmer and faster. Avoid peak holiday buffet seatings unless you’ve reserved, because Thanksgiving and special holiday seatings draw big crowds.

The dining room offers standard table seating and a bar area, guests mention bar seating, tables near the door, and watching sports on big screens. While the restaurant doesn’t offer private dining, staff have successfully handled large reservations (examples of 12–18 person groups), so they can accommodate big parties in the main dining space. If you need a specific layout, call ahead to request seating preferences.

The atmosphere is casual, lively, and Southern-inspired, guests describe friendly service, clean (though somewhat spartan) décor, and a social vibe good for groups, brunch, or watching sports. Some guests find the music a bit loud and lighting bright; others praise the energetic servers and warm hospitality. Expect a comfortable, informal setting rather than a quiet, upscale dining room.

Business casual is the stated dress code, so smart-casual attire is appropriate, think neat, comfortable clothing suitable for a relaxed but polished dining experience.

Yes, the staff appears willing to accommodate seating and party requests (they handled changes from 14 to 18 people and confirmed seating preferences). For menu modifications or ingredient allergies, call ahead: some guests reported variable success when asking for changes, so a direct phone call helps set expectations and ensure the kitchen can meet your needs.

Yes, families and kids dine here regularly, and guests report taking children for brunches, holiday buffets, and celebrations. The menu and casual dining format make it family-friendly, though there’s no explicit mention of a children’s menu. For younger children, consider an earlier seating or call ahead to check menu options and accommodations.

Busiest: weekend brunches (Sundays) and holiday buffets (Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day) draw large crowds. Quietest: weekday evenings and non-holiday, non-brunch times are generally calmer, several guests note faster service and shorter waits on those nights. If you want a lively scene, go for brunch or holiday events; if you want a quicker, quieter meal, choose a weekday or early dinner.

It depends on what you want: Sunday is excellent for brunch (many guests rave about it), while weekdays or early weeknights are best for a quieter, faster meal. For holiday-themed meals (Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day), reserve early, those seatings fill up and draw crowds.

Yes, Cast has hosted holiday events (Thanksgiving and Mother’s Day buffets) and many guests mention attending those holiday seatings. Holiday offerings may vary year to year, so check ahead and reserve early for holiday buffets or specials.
