Kats Diner

Thank You so much it’s a Honor to serve great people in the Beautiful State of Tennessee!

Kat's Diner & Market in McMinnville is the kind of place that feels like home. With a menu that boasts everything from a hearty breakfast to a satisfying catfish dinner, it’s a local favorite for good reason. The buffet offers a little bit of everything, making it easy to find something for everyone in the family. You can’t go wrong with their tenderloin or a classic cheeseburger, and if you have room for dessert, the chocolate pie is a must-try. The friendly atmosphere and the smell of onion rings frying in the kitchen remind you of simpler times. It’s the kind of diner where you can sit down, relax, and enjoy a meal that feels like it was made just for you. That’s why folks keep coming back, time and again, to this cherished spot here in Tennessee.

We’ve had a lot of people ask about Thanksgiving… Yes, we are going to be open again this year. It will be the Thanksgiving bar only from 10am-2pm Thursday, November 27th. The kitchen will not be open. You can place reservations now as some of you have already done. If you plan on having more than 6 in your party it is important that you place a reservation. Afterwards, we will be closed til Monday, December 1st.

Sorry for the late notice, but we will be back open tomorrow (Tuesday). We will only be open half a day and that will probably be like that for several weeks. Kat got to come home today and she’s doing great! Thank you for all of the comments, messages, texts, calls, and visits checking on her! ♥️

As most know, Kat had surgery Friday in Chattanooga. We placed a note on the door that said we would be closed all weekend and return on Monday. Unfortunately, that will not happen. We will remain closed tomorrow and will update sometime tomorrow on when we can return. Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.
