We have been there several times over the years and it is the best breakfast restaurant in the area. The service is very good and prompt. We always look forward to going back every time we are in Clayton. read more

My husband I enjoyed a fabulous lunch at The Rusty Bike Cafe. I loved the Summer Salad with all the fruit, veggies, and vinaigrette. It was pure summer happiness on a plate. My husband loved his Philly Cheese Steak and coleslaw. He orders PCS whenever he can, and he said this was one of the best he's ever had. The menu is extensive and everything looks wonderful. Look at the menu ahead of time if it takes you a long time to make decisions. The service was great. We arrived after the lunch rush, so we were seated and served quickly. The place is decorated with biker memorabilia. We enjoyed looking around. The place has a happy vibe. We'll be back! read more

Small little place with a fantastic breakfast menu. Highly recommended by friends. We arrived at lunch time. I had the pimento cheese sandwich which was excellent with avocado and bacon and sweet potato tots. My Sweety had the burger and fries and devoured every tasty bite. Great and friendly staff that were very helpful. Walls Covered in photos from guests and fun little signs read more

This place has such a cool, laid back vibe! If you're looking for a great breakfast, this is your spot! 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! read more

Have eaten here a good bit in the last few months. It is consistently great food, great service and a good vibe. Yes, you sometimes have to wait but guess what, ITS WORTH IT!!! If you like pancakes this is the place for those!! I love the tradition ones as they aren't as sweet as the multi grain ones. Just go and enjoy!!! read more

Great food. Awesome service. And a really good environment to boot. We had the classic burger, the Philly cheesesteak, sweet potato tots, and onion rings, and all were excellent. Make sure to get the honey mustard dipping sauce with your tots and thick country bacon on your hamburger. The only thing I would add would be au jus which would've made the Philly cheesesteak the best French dip in GA. We had Brenda as a server and she was incredible. It's a great stop on your way to back from the mountains. Check it out. read more

Breakfast all day looked amazing, but at 1 pm we opted for some hearty sandwiches. The corned beef in the Reuben was tender and plentiful and it was grilled just right. The turkey wrap was the winner, though, with its flavorful turkey with a vidalia onion dressing with great bites of sweetness from the dried cranberries. The sweet potato tots were good as well. Service was efficient and had the no-nonsense feel you might expect from female servers at a biker cafe. read more

Maybe the best breakfast I have ever had in my life. You will not be disappointed. Go there and experience it!!!

Visiting from out of town, good ol' American traditional cozy mom and pop shop feel. Food was good & came out fast! Every table was full so clearly a local staple. read more

Ample portions for the cost, great biscuits! I had an omelette, it was huge! My friend had eggs n ham, it too was huge! Very busy cafe tucked in the mountains of N Ga. But right on the main road into town. Ideal place to visit for gear heads and motorcycle enthusiasts. Be prepared to wait. Definitely a place I would recommend to friends and would come back to visit when in town. read more

Go to Waffle House instead. Cool vibe, place was packed with a wait. But the food was not it. Hasbrowns were under cooked and bland. Eggs were bland. And the corn beef hash was terrible - lacked substance and had gamey taste that was kind of acidic. I stopped eating, paid the check, and went over to Waffle House. read more

Great spot for breakfast just south of downtown Clayton. Big portions, reasonable prices and super fast service. I think our food came out within five minutes of ordering. Everything was delicious but the pancakes and Hawaiian toast were highlights. Coffee was also great! Clean and bright interior with lots of bike/motorcycle decor. Leave your politics and attitude behind... this place will gladly refuse to serve you if you're a jerk. read more

Stopped by on the way home from Highlands, NC and this was one of the highlights of the trip! Excellent service, friendly staff/great vibe and absolutely delicious food. Must try the banana french toast, it is the best French toast I've ever had. Also excellent is the steak and eggs, and the corned beef hash. Will definitely go out of our way to come back again! Five *****!! read more

The Rusty Bike Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants. Our family has been frequenting there for several years. The excellent food, cozy environment, and tremendous service keep up coming back time and again. The entire staff treats my mom like family, and it is always joy to see how happy she is whenever we visit. Great food is one thing, but the service is what really keeps us coming back. I highly recommend the Rusty Bike, but do be prepared to wait a little bit because word is out how good this place is, and there's always a crowd. However it is WELL worth the wait! We will continue visiting the Rusty Bike for a long time to come. read more

Celiac friendly! If this means anything to you then you know! I called ahead and spoke to the owner Joel. After just a couple of minutes on the phone I knew he understood what it meant to accommodate someone. Upon arrival he spoke to us personally and gave my daughter full confidence that her meal would be safe. Over the last year of trying to navigate celiac we have found eating out to be a super challenge. Today Joel made our visit amazing. All of this aside the food was wonderful! The service was prompt and the atmosphere made us feel like regulars. We will definitely return when we are in the area. Thank you Joel and staff for a wonderful experience. read more

We made a last minute decision to try them for Breakfast during our last morning in Clayton, and SO glad we did. We arrived to a 10-15 minute wait, but were offered instant seating at the bar which we took advantage of. The Owner, Joel, was putting together place settings near us and handed us menus. I ordered "The Trike" and my wife had a biscuit and gravy. Food arrived in about 10 minutes and was absolutely delicious. About twice the hash browns you get at WH, two eggs, 2 strips of bacon, and a large freshly baked biscuit with butter and strawberry jam. We both enjoyed our meal. While we were at the bar, Joel was chatting with us and he was a pleasure to converse with. He told us about some of the other breakfast options and gave us both a sample of his wife's Apple Cinnamon cake, which was excellent. The atmosphere is definitely that of a small mountain town. We felt right at home and enjoyed looking at some of the trinkets and decals scattered around our area. Highly suggest you give them a try! read more

Went to The Rusty Bike Cafe for brunch today while on an impromptu trip to the mountains. I ordered the #7 (The Three Wheeler) - pancakes, eggs, and sausage. My husband ordered the #3 (Roadster) - Country Fried Steak, gravy, eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit. Everything was really good! Pancakes were delicious, but HUGE!!! read more

A very pleasant surprise. Don't let the negative comments about the decor turn you away from awesome food. This place is decorated as an upscale Biker Bar. It's not something out of "Son's". Give it a try and you just might make a friend or two. Service was awesome. The menu options were on point. Everything was fresh and hot and the coffee was a great morning blend. My wife was torn between a chicken tender lunch or a breakfast. The waitress said "No problem" and switched her breakfast meat option to chicken tenders. There were three, very large, hand breaded, fresh fried perfectly cooked tenders...awesome switch. Don't let a couple stickers or signs sway you from a most excellent meal. If you feel that you might be offended, don't go and support them. It will be your loss. read more

We were recently in Dillard, Georgia for the leaves change, and we had breakfast at this rusty bike Café and let me tell you the breakfast was huge cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. The overall ambience of the restaurant was really fun with all the Harley Davidson, memorabilia and different famous peoples pictures signed hanging on the wall we especially loved seeing Donald Trump Junior's signed autographed picture on the wall. These people are very patriotic and it shows. The service was fantastic very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone traveling in this area. read more

Went there on the way back from the cabin in NC - just keep in mind it is a MAGA themed restaurant as other reviewers noted. My issue is not with that (sonewhat expected in north GA) - both food and service were absolutely terrible. The most generic, bland, tasteless food from a sysco truck. Somewhat shocked by so many good reviews. read more

I and my family stopped here on our way back from NC for summer vacation and enjoyed it!! The hash browns, are TO DIE FOR!! They are perfectly crispy on the top and as you continue eating the bottom turns into that excellent kind of soft type! I got the breakfast burrito and it was awesome, just like the employees!! They are supper nice and attentive! This place is awesome, very family friendly, and kind of reminds me of my uncles man cave. Overall 10/10 will visit again if we're in the area!! read more

The food was really solid. My dining companion, and I split an order of the banana bread, French toast, and the Breakfast Burrito. We really enjoyed both items. The banana bread had a nice flavor. It was nice and eggy and covered with bananas. Good time and a delicious praline sauce. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a nice texture. But it's not banana bread is in a loaf of banana bread it's like may be a challah bread flavored with banana. In any case it was the perfect texture for French toast. Surprise star of the meal was the breakfast burrito. I can't explain why I liked it so much. The wrap had a nice chewiness...Maybe the egg is cooked directly on the wrap???? I can't explain the alchemy... It was just a perfect match. We also very much enjoyed the sausage in the burrito. It had a mild flavor and firm texture that we really enjoyed. Just a really solid meal. Very nice. The prices were also very fair, as well as the serving size. We did not go away hungry. In terms of the atmosphere it was fine. The wait staff was really nice. And it felt like a homey place. I could've lived without some of the signage. Not a very welcoming, feeling initially... But we got past it and really enjoyed our food. read more

A great breakfast at a reasonable price. Great service that is always friendly. I love the multigrain pancakes.

These folks are GREAT. I'm not writing this review to benefit me or anyone else besides the folks at the cafe. We are somewhat local, non-tourist; Clarkesville to be exact, but when we head up 441 we ALWAYS plan a stop at the cafe for breakfast. I always get the basics, eggs, ham, sausage ,grits, with a slice of french toast. I told the owner a couple weeks ago I was coming back for the 'all you can eat french toast gala'. (the french toast is that good). He told me that would never happen, Ha ! Ha!. We are going by there in a couple of days and will be picking up to-go orders on our way to Bryson City. So I cant indulge in the French Toast Feast this go around, but one day, one day, I WILL!!!!!! Please folks, if you are looking for good, basic, breakfast cooking, give these folks a try. I dont do reviews that often, since most of them are fake, but I trust in these folks and you can too. Bentley Howard read more

The Rusty Bike Cafe - Coffee cup - Cafes Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

A great breakfast or lunch stop in North Ga. We've been going for years. Try the Menage De Tryke!

If you take away the cute decor and funny signs you would have the most below average diner you have ever been to. Southern small town diner that couldn't even get the grits right. Sorry, but soupy grits? Also, the coffee was watery and bland. Aside from that, everything else, including the service was pretty bland as well. Big portions dont matter if the food isn't prepared well. Do you self a favor and go to any of the other places in town who actually care. read more

The food was top notch and very affordable. Great for families and children. Service was prompt and food came to the table in record time. The ambiance is definitely "biker cafe" and conservative. read more

The food was absolutely fantastic and the prices were just as great! Excellent food at a moderate price.

Good morning feeling! Biscuits and gravy and all.large portions Coffee topped off regular.

The food wasn't bad nor was the coffee but at the same time wasn't great either. The servers were kind but didn't come to check on us often and I had to ask for a lot of things. But the overall ambience and vibe of the place is nice. So if your out and about it's a nice place for a decent bite. read more
