Cassidy's Diner — Restaurant in Town of Richfield

CASH ONLY - there my rant and reason for avoiding this place is over. I am so glad the stars aligned today: time, cash, hunger, and proximity as I have told many people to visit this diner since moving to the area four years ago but had never tried it myself because I don't usually carry cash.

I walked in for a late breakfast and was greeted warmly and told to pick a spot. The service throughout was excellent in this little country diner and I'd estimate it fits around 30 people in the main area where I sat. There were just a handful of us, and I spent some of my last bites as the only patron in this nice, quiet, perfect mix of local, family and seasonal-decor explosion. It was a happy place and that was before I even ordered.

They had standard breakfast options as you'd expect from a diner. I went with the french toast and The Diner Plate to get an idea of what they had. I took the advice of my kind waitress to upgrade to the gravy with sausage and WOW, it did not disappoint and was large enough I had a good serving for another meal. Everything on that plate was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavors and at just the right temperature. It was fairly priced and is something that will tempt me to drive into Richfield Springs on a quiet morning with cash in my pocket.

I loved my breakfast here and found it to be a great find. Right when I was going to ask the waitress some hard questions, a gentleman came in, so I'll leave my comments here. The area is full of maple syrup farmers. I love it when local businesses support other local businesses, especially if it means I get real maple syrup on my french toast. The corn syrup didn't add anything to the meal and was disappointing. It turned what could have been an amazing side of perfectly cooked goodness into just fine enough. I'd love to see a way to get the good stuff on the tables even if it meant the price of dishes where someone might want syrup increased.

I also would love it if they accepted cards. I hated cash vs. credit prices before but lots of places in NY now offer both. I always choose credit as it makes it easier to track for budgeting, I get rewards, I don't always have cash, especially enough to feed a group of people breakfast, and I tend to tip better when I use plastic. That's just my experience and now that I've tried the great food and service of Cassidy's Diner, I'll overlook my "nice to haves" and maybe bring my own syrup if I get the...

Passing through town visiting local sites. Stopped for breakfast. Extremely impressed at this quaint little place. I wanted something with local flavor and I was not disappointed in any way. The place was extremely clean and quiet. No blaring noise in the background. The food was very good, the service was great. What more could a person want in a hometown diner ? Next time I'm in the area I will no doubt make a return visit. That they accept cash only should not be a factor as it's worth the trip no matter...

We were on vacation in Cooperstown, and we were looking for breakfast. We found Cassidy's online. What a find!Quiet, friendly diner! Loved the small town diner feel! Neighbors chatting with neighbors. Very nice!

I was so happy to see sausage gravy on their menu! My personal favorite! Best darn sausage gravy I've had in ages! I teased my hubby, asking if we could go back and buy a gallon of it to take home! Great coffee, big portions, reasonable pricing! Ten out of...
