16 Best American Restaurants near Clayton

“I’ve been coming for years, they have a wonderful breakfast and lunch. The multigrain pancakes are my favorite. Very enjoyable staff and great service. I recommend Rusty Bike to everyone.“

“I CAN NOT rave enough about this restaurant and am so mad that I didn't see this place until a recent trip! As a non-local that frequents the N. GA mountains, I like to try new places, but I am also painfully loyal to the places up here that I love, as I don't get to patron these businesses often. But, I decided to expand the horizons, and I absolutely found another place I will add to my list of faves for the area!!

First, the atmosphere was a fun but relaxed, lowkey vibe, the place felt so comfortable, and the rustic chic decor was so cute!

The service was excellent, truly exemplary! Our waitress, Kristin, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us the true low-down on menu items. We appreciated her honesty and recommendations, as well as her attentive service! Do yourself a favor, request Kristin as your waitress!! AND if you are lucky, their superb bartender, Tyler, will be working! He made the best Moscow Mule I have ever had!! Plus, we tried the Starry Night off the menu, which was a SOLID choice! It tasted like a spiked fruit punch, SO delicious! I am so glad we had the fortune of receiving service from these two. I don't doubt the other staff strive to provide excellent service like these two.

Now, what you've all be waiting (or skimming) for, THE FOOD ?
WELL, it had me repeating "this is so good" throughout the meal in a way I have NEVER experienced. Seriously, I couldn't stop raving about the food while I was eating, even planned to call my mom after to tell her we must add this place to our restaurant rolodex for our vacations up here! The flavors were everything I didn't know I needed in my life and am elated to have found. It all started with the drinks and bread service. Now, this bread service comes with thin breadsticks and bread slices, in addition to arguably the best spreads for bread (and I am very picky with what I put on my bread, I tend to eat it naked). I don't remember exactly all that was in the spreads, but the reddish-orange one was a hummus and the speckled was a duck butter with chives. I never could've thought that I would love those and recommend them so easily. Then, we had our appetizers, which I rank as the top 3 appetizers, if not the best, that I have ever had in my life. I was blown away by the savory flavors that exploded in my mouth, I was speechless (believe it!)!! Stay with me here, if you leave Fortify without trying the gouda fritters, you didn't go to Fortify and you surely missed out on the most creamy, cheesy, perfectly crunchy, and tasty ball of joy (and you should be ashamed of yourself)!! I think I might dream of these gouda fritters for the rest of my life. They were simply put, sensational. From first bite, I wanted a lifetime supply, ugh, SO GOOD!!! And you add the pork belly?? Now, you're sailing. The pork belly was incredible! Judge for yourself, but I would be surprised if this app didn't rank high for you! Then, came dinner, which we were already amped to try based off experience with appetizers. My bestie had the duck, which she said was great and she enjoyed trying bread pudding in a way she has not before. I had the burger with homemade fries, which was perfectly cooked and puts many burgers to shame! I sincerely look forward to returning to try dessert, which we were fall too full for last night. The homemade ice cream flavors piqued our interests, so we will likely be back before our trip ends!

All that to say, I am a certified Fortify fan now! I love it there!“

“Jody Parks and myself are here today for the first time. I hate that has taken me so long to notice this lil gem! We wanted to have breakfast and the rude service we received from Rusty Bike we decided to try Mountain Grill. Folks don't walk past this place make it your first choice next time. Everything there is made from scratch and homemade! I felt like I was in heaven taking a bite of the best quiche ever! You won't be disappointed“

“Great country breakfast!!!“

“chili cheese fries are really good.“

“Tonight we stopped by the Farmhouse Market and picked up some dinner. We got a brisket dinner and a vegetable lasagna dinner. Both were outstanding! I highly recommend you stop by and give it a try. To help with the stress, we picked up a couple of fresh brownies. Anybody who knows Vince, knows what a great baker he is and there is really no need to say it, but they were two of the best brownies I’ve every had. And frankly, I’ve had a few over the years. Hang in there Vince. We are all looking forward to sharing a dinner at the Farmhouse once the world returns to normal.“

“This store figured out all the issues from their past and staffed with quality personel. For me specifically Tiffany was magical with in which she handled a full house multiple 4+ party's and still gave my the best and unforgettable dining expirrnce. I've never been made to feel so comfortable and she radiated calmness. I served for over a decade when I was younger and I've met less than a handful with that ability. But not expecting to be wowed any further I get the best meal I've ever had at a :waho" so yeah a year ago I forgot the store was there due to the inability to get any kind of quality with ND consistency now I been telling all the boys at work "The WaHo is the build back better they ment cuz yall did that with such a degree it appeared easy, to which I know it is not.i cannot over state how special the server Tiffany is she has something that can't be taught.“

“Well done! Great service, food, entertainment and attention to details. Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Belle's Bistro at Chattooga Belle Farm

Surrounding 🌲🗻
So I recently dinned at this location. It was very unique yet soothing with everything that's there. I'd like to first start off saying how beautiful the view was. You can see the beautiful, tall, and exquisite mountains.

Food🥗🌯
The meal was decent. I dinned off of the Chicken Salad Wraps, they were very well plated, this was a shock to me because of everything seemed and looked. The way it was plated made me leave a better review. The taste, now that's why I gave it a 4 star review not 5 stars. Honestly, people may think it's the best wrap in the world. But in my honest opion the Chicken was doused in lots of mayo.

Would I Go Back? / Summary ⭐
Belle's Bistro is a great place for kids, animals, weddings, and family pictures. I was very pleased on what is near by. There was a distillery nearby maybe 0.2 miles away. Overall, yes, i would go back only for the experience and view.

Thanks for the experience Belle' Bistro!
