Otherwise park further behind or across street & short walk over. It's an old converted gas station on the corner. Majority of seating is outside. There's some inside seating & a bar inside. Old gas station style bathrooms outside & around the corner. There's a stage for events. Appears to be pet friendly. Nice view of Main Street with shops, desserts & boutiques. You can watch both people & vehicle traffic. Service is quick, quiet & friendly. Lots of specialty drinks to choose from. Food is really good. The Smokehouse Burger is prepared to order with bacon, fried onion rings, melted cheese, tender, juicy, delicious. When you're done, walk up one side & down the other to walk that food off & get yourself ready for dessert. Enjoy!

The establish was not busy. The tables were sticky and had visible signs of glass rings. For not being busy, it took a considerable amount of time for the food to come out. While my food was very good, the wife had fries that were cold. We were served food without any utensils or napkins. It took 8 minutes for utensils to arrive and one napkin each. We asked for more napkins, which never came. My wife mentioned the cold fries and she was brought another serving of equally cold fries. When we were finished, I asked the server for a couple to go boxes. We received one and had to ask for more; eventually getting one more box. It took an additional 10 minutes to get the check, and another 10 to have it retrieved with the credit card. The neighboring table was also dealing with cold fries.

The owner's pictures of them "biking" all over the country give you a sense of getting to know them without ever meeting them. Portions are large for the inexpensive price and there are so many options to choose from on the menu! If you don't want leftovers, I recommend splitting a meal. You won't be sorry either way! Our service was great and you definitely feel that local, small town friendliness with the servers. If we travel back to Clayton, we will definitely be returning!

The biscuits were delicious and not too dry, but the corned beef hash was a little too salty (even for a fiend like me) and my omelet was both under and over cooked. Even if the food was ok, I have to call out the exceptional service we received. Our waiter was kind and attentive, clarifying whether we wanted sweet or unsweet tea (my California ass forgot I was in the south now), warning us the kitchen was running a little behind due to the morning rush, and in general being a gem of a human being. I'd come back for that treatment! Logistics: - limited street parking in front - indoor seating only

When traveling to Bryson City, on the occasion of what has become our annual leaf watching weekend…read morevacation in the fall, we typically route our way to avoid the interstate roads. I call this our "blue highways" route, after the book by William Least Heat Moon. The rules are to only take routes that on the old atlas maps were "blue", and to stop and read any historical markers or signs. We like U.S. 76 through Westminster and Long Creek into Clayton. The point is, however, about 5 years ago, on a similar trip, we discovered the Clayton Cafe and it has become a planned destination for us along the way. The whole little township is lovely, with several interesting shops (esp. Butler Galleries). So, we have been here 6-7 times, and never been disappointed. But today, we were running late. We looked up the hours, which were 9AM to 3PM and perfect for our 1:45PM later arrival. Surprisingly, the restaurant was crowded at this late lunch hour. We were immediately seated at the only available 4 top. It was packed. The restaurant has two outdoor two tops, 2 indoor two tops, and eleven indoor 4 tops, for a max seating of 52. By 1:55, there was a wait list! People were even being turned away, and all different age groups were present, but the overall crowd was 50+, probably due to the peak fall foliage weekend, even though it was Thursday. There were even a few take out orders picked up. After prompt service and ordering, our food arrived at 2:05, about a 15 minute wait, which was impressive for the busy kitchen. I've written other reviews in the food and they all still stand. In fact, I realize that I go heavy here on the choice because it is so good. This time, as predictable, my order was the country fried steak, mashed potatoes, white sawmill gravy, collard greens and a biscuit. Five stars. Even though the steak and gravy was a little saltier than my current palate's liking, it was exactly the way it is supposed to be... I'm watching the salt in my older age, no fault of the chef's. Our tradition of the Clayton Cafe is now 6 years running g and we may just work this into a destination day trip. The nearby Tallulah Gorge is a nice attraction to add to our main event of the Clayton Cafe lunch. P.S. If fried chicken livers are the special, then the country fried steak will have to be "next time." And they do have plenty of healthy options, salads, a full breakfast menu, sandwiches, burgers, but we are here for the Southern Classics.

This diner is located in a back street, next to a market and close enough to a strip mall with restaurants. It's a quiet place although lots of people come in and out. We sat down, got our coffee, ate our meals, and wondered if we could eat more. The food was so tasty that we really wanted to take more food with us. I had a chicken fried steak and my gf had an omelette. Every table around us was busy eating, we were not the only ones who appreciated this food. For a humble place with delicious food, the prices were average. The coffee could use a little help, as well as the A/C, but all in all, it was a win for us hungry bears.

The price is a little high but I felt the ingredients were of quality so that can be expected. I would definitely recommend this pizza spot. I would gladly come back.

This was our first trip in to Rabun Social…read more We were greeted and seated immediately by an energetic young man. We found RS to be an attraction for families with children, especially in the area with low-top tables. On the day we visited, children of various ages were running back & forth to the restroom, standing in the walkways, yelling, crying, etc. If yours is an adult party, I recommend you sit at the high-top tables, which are in a separate area. Our waiter, though he seemed detached, was knowledgeable and helpful concerning food sensitivities. Because they do not have GF bread or buns, and use gluten-containing ingredients in their sushi and soups, I ordered a smash burger with no bun, and a side of vegetables. This was very tasty; I ate every bite of the burger. Hubby ordered the California Roll. I was unable to taste these, as the imitation crab has gluten-containing ingredients as a binder. Even though RS does not have many GF options, I would return just for that burger!

No clowning just fun conversation and easy to be heard. Cigar selection is small but sufficient for a relaxing smoke and some drinks. My wife and I each had one of the house cigars (very smooth and held up well with a ncie ash). We each had an adult beverage - a single malt neat for me and a Jameson for her and her stogie too. Ambiance is eclectic with a neat parachute on the ceiling (Toccoa and Curahee is up the road - if you know WW2 history and the film Band of Brothers). Definitely a revisit in our future and maybe on our return as we drive back to Wyoming.
