My husband and I were in the area for our anniversary/Mother’s Day weekend. We stopped in for brunch and I had the bananas foster chicken and waffles! It was so freaking good that I couldn’t wait to come back the next day for round 2 to have breakfast before we headed home. Casey waited on us both times and she was so sweet and kind. You couldn’t help but be in a great mood after talking to her. We will definitely be repeat customers next time we’re in town.

We ate here while visiting Clayton weekend. Disgusting. The eggs were SWIMMING in butter and tasted of butter. The bacon was flimsy and home fries over cooked. Don’t waste your money. We used to love coming here, but it seems to gone down hill in quality. Go try somewhere else.

On our last visit, a party of 3 adults came in and were seated at the last table on the right. The couple sitting on the bench against the wall had their DOG with them. If that wasn't enough...when they got their food, the lady fed the DOG from her plate and with HER fork! The dog had his paws on the edge of the table wanting more food. The man took over and fed the DOG from his plate with HIS fork! That will be our last visit to the cafe. I trust the Health Department has been made aware.

We were in town for a wedding, and ended up eating here twice during our short stay. It’s right in the middle of town and was a convenient walk from our hotel. The staff was so engaging and accommodating to my son who wanted to show them his toys he had brought along and tell them that he was in town to be a ring bearer in a wedding. They made him feel special. On top of that the food was incredible. Everything we ordered was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Amazing coffee too which is always a bonus! We travel a lot both for business and pleasure, and this restaurant easily employs one of the best groups of people we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Kid-friendliness: As stated in the review they made my child feel so welcome and special. They showed genuine interest in what he had to say and show them. The kids menu was top notch too with perfect portions for bigger kids with big appetites while still being less pricey than adult portions. Looking around all the other kids seemed to be having a great time and enjoying their meals as well. We’ll definitely visit again!

Food was ok and service was great. They have always been known for having fabulous southern hone cooked cuisine but they have become more trendy and menu has changed to a more expensive and trendies cuisine. Very disappointing
The Clayton Cafe is a charming spot that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal or a cozy Food. The menu features a delightful variety of dishes, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a sweet treat, this cafe has something to satisfy every palate. Highly recommended for anyone in the area!
A non-local visitor for many years now and there's a reason we keep coming back when we visit our mountain oasis! They reopened after renovations in the summer and we are impressed with the reno and reconfiguring, the way they revamped the menu while keeping some delicious staples. This is a poppin place, so getting here before peak breakfast and lunch hours is advisable if you don't want to wait. Regardless, we always have great servers! We went during brunch on the weekend, which now has a slightly different menu.
The food is always delicious and the portion sizes are substantial. I had a chicken biscuit, sausage gravy, grits, home fries, and several bites from my mom's plate. You won't be disappointed with anything you order from here!

The Clayton Café is a staple of downtown Clayton, GA. Opening its doors in 1931, this perfect spot offers amazing food and service with a delightful mountain atmosphere. Roula Elias has done an amazing job with new menu, food, and interiors. When you are in town, come grab a warm meal with family or friends and a hot cup of coffee with a smile and a hug. See you in the great smokey mountains. Stay safe, be well, and know you are appreciated. -D. Orr
