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!

And there was a crowd when we arrived at around 11:30. We were able to get our order in fairly quickly, and waited near the pickup area, where they also have a good setup for adding sweeteners, etc. My only issue -- and it's a big one -- is that the cream I asked for was put into my espresso Cold. That took the temperature of the coffee down to tepid. Not good on a cold day when you're craving Hot Coffee.

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.

I was so abundantly happy with the ambience it really resembled a coffee shop that I would go to.

I recommend this to anybody, who wants to get caffeinated and wants to have a overdose of caffeine.

if you've read any of my reviews on my page, you know I love a good coffee shop. I visited…read morefarmhouse coffee recently and I enjoyed it. It is located in a small plaza that's tucked away in the corner so it is easy to miss especially because it is a small smaller structured building. So, keep in mind to be sure to look directly to your right towards the end of the first lane when you're driving into the plaza. As far as a coffee, I do believe that it was very fresh and they had a decent amount of options for flavors. Right now they have the holiday flavor so of course I had to try the cookie butter latte. I am a firm believer of ensuring that a coffee has great taste in addition to still being able to taste the actual coffee which I believe this shot did a great job at. It's not too sweet and it's also not better either. My fiancé got the white chocolate raspberry latte which was super tasty. He's not the biggest coffee drinker and he said that this is probably the best coffee that he's ever had. It is 100% worth a try. if you're in the area, this is definitely a place that you should check out
