We visit friends in Franklin NC every year and took a trip down to Clayton as we were visiting waterfalls. The Clayton Cafe is a great place to stop in for a quick bite. All of our food was amazing but I was blown away by the fried chicken sandwich. Hot, crispy, juicy, tender, well seasoned, and LARGE! Definitely one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Come with a big appetite or enjoy your leftovers later. The staff was great and took great care of us. The restaurant as a whole was just outstanding and we will make this a yearly stop. Thank you Clayton Cafe!!!!

We enjoyed our meal here. They were busy but kept cleaning and reseating the next guest. They did a great job!
Their friend green tomato does have a spice to it that we were not expecting.

Another great gem in Clayton Georgia!
This quaint Cafe has a great history. Opened in 1931 in a building that first served as the local Trailways Bus station, the Clayton Cafe is the landmark eatery in Clayton. Friendly service, hometown vibe.
Great food!! I recommend the pumpkin pancakes or the cornbeef hash!!

My family has been coming here for years and has always loved the food. However, this year was a bit disappointing. The restaurant was ice cold, and they have changed the mac and cheese, which used to be delicious. All four members of my family agreed that it was some of the worst mac and cheese we have had. Overall, I would recommend the cafe, but I hope management will address these two issues.

joined the waitlist online via toast for 2 people and host told us there were 2 parties in front of us and that we would get a text when the table was ready. ended up waiting over an hour and never received a text. went back to the host and she acted like she never knew we were on the list waiting on a table and immediately seated us. there was so many other people that had the same experience as us just waiting forever for a table. then I bit into my omelette and found a piece of plastic. at least our server was nice and took it off our bill. the food was okay, i didnt finish my meal

Excellent restaurant.
Friendly staff.
Food has great flavor and good portion size. Our table had chicken and dumplings, BLT (with fried green tomato), chicken pot pie, and chicken biscuit. All were good.

Stopped for lunch. Food was not very good, they were very kind and refunded us. The breakfast looked good and we probably should’ve ordered that. Chicken and dumplings was more like a chicken stew with no dumplings, just veggies and chicken. If that’s the way it normally is maybe consider calling it something else. No flavor to the lima beans and the casserole of the day was not good. However, the fried green tomatoes were very good, I would get those again. And the corn muffins were good. Hubs said his chicken tenders were over cooked. I can’t say I recommend any of the chicken dishes, but service was great. Try breakfast or maybe a sandwich or burger. I appreciated them offering a refund for the chicken and dumplings especially at $17.99, hate to pay a high price for something not good. If we pass through again, I’ll try them for breakfast.

Great location. The place is small but not in a bad way. Service by our server was a bit to be desired because we had to remind her that we needed extra napkins. Another server that helped the table next to us did an incredible job, was friendly and came back to his table several times to make sure they didn’t need anything. We make ask to sit in his section next time. The food was good but found it odd that it was served in what I related to dog dishes. Kind of hard to cut certain food items out of a plate that was the shape of a bowl. Maybe it’s their signature and sets them apart for being unique. I would still recommend despite my small nitpicking complaints. Good prices and parking is easy to find.

The food is soo delicious. The seating is a little tight though
However, the food is super high quality and affordable. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich with mac and cheese. My soul left my body it was SO good.
The service is great, the workers are really friendly and approachable 🙂
The atmosphere is very nice, the whole space is gorgeous and clean.

This little local restaurant was the best meal we had in Clayton GA! The food was delicious and service was fantastic! They close at 3 so make sure to get there early! The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere for being a crowded restaurant!
