On our way to The Magic Mike we were thinking about what to eat for lunch. I happen d upon a place…read moreclose to Athens in Elkmont called Mike's Cafe. From where we were at the Tennessee state line, it was about a 50 minute ride on small country roads. We arrived at Mike's Cafe after most of the lunch crowd was gone. We ordered the smoked chicken with fried potatoes, pinto beans and okra, a double cheeseburger deconstructed, small onion rings and a BLT to go. They didn't have turnip greens or collards so I ended up with fried potatoes. Fried cornbread was included. Inside the restaurant the ceiling in the small dining area was similar to galvanized siding. It was shiny new. I didn't ask if the dining area was a new addition. The shiny caught my attention. I believe there were 12 booths for seating. We were the only customers inside sitting while Mike, the owner, was back in the kitchen preparing our foods. We introduced ourselves and told Mike we drove over there because we heard so many great things about his food and that his restaurant was clean. It was clean too! Mike brought our foods out and we headed to the car. As we were about to leave, Mike came out with a sample of his hamburger soup on the house. What a lovely gesture. We thanked him and his wife and headed home to devour our haul. The smoked chicken was delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed the fried okra, pintos and fried potatoes. The BLT was made with a lot of thick cut bacon. Yummy! The double cheeseburger we shared later was delicious and cooked perfectly. If you like old style good home cooking, please stop by Mike's Cafe. His food is fire!

Came here to grab some dessert for later and as a way to make up for my super disappointing lunch…read morenearby. This was a much better experience! This is a small little bakery; technically they have daily lunch specials but there's very limited seating so it's more of a grab-and-go type of spot. They also have premade dishes in tall coolers if you want to take and reheat something as an appetizer or an entree. Great for on the go engagements or as a quick fix for a family that needs feeding. There's also a selection of packaged breads made in-house and a dessert case. The service was extremely nice! I had a lovely chat with one of the employees. The only major complaint I have was that the store smelled really weird and unpleasant when I visited. I have NO idea what it was from -- I couldn't place the smell. Maybe a dish I don't like? Maybe the yeast for the bread? Not sure. It looked clean and had a good health code score, but the smell was rough. At any rate, I grabbed a slice of strawberry pretzel salad for right then, as well as a slice of Elvis cake (iirc) and a snickerdoodle. The strawberry pretzel salad had a pretty strawberry jelly top and was packed with lots of cream cheese filling! It was good, though I do wish there had been a thicker pretzel crust; sometimes I felt like I was mostly eating pretzel crumbs instead of an actual bottom of a layered dessert. Still, definitely yummy! Hubs and I enjoyed the Elvis cake later. It was super moist and sort of reminded me of a hummingbird cake. My snickerdoodle was special (peanut butter snickerdoodle? Coffee snickerdoodle?). It was a unique combo of flavors that you don't typically see but sadly I'm far enough removed now that I've forgotten exactly what. Regardless, it was good! Stop by and treat yourself sometime!

Good grief, I've driven by this place 1000s of times and never realized it was a bakery/eatery! I…read morethought it was maybe a salon. Along for the ride in my favorite sister's quest for the best locally made sourdough bread, we visited Suzanne's last month. It's small, and I think it may have had 2 little bistro style tables inside, but it may have had 3. There are several refrigerators on the floor with grab and go items such as a ground beef-based "John Wayne casserole," pimento cheese, various casseroles, maybe a 3-bean salad, chick salad, broccoli salad, and more. A stocked confection counter is where you order and pay. They had really cute Halloween cake "pops" for sale and their "sour dough" bread was on a small display on the right as you enter. They offer hot lunch specials daily Tuesday-Friday, 11-2 and a soup of the day at 6.49, ranging from said John Wayne casserole to chicken poulet and stuffing. We missed the lunch window and didn't purchase any of the grab and goes. The staff here are patient and friendly! Really nice! Sister and I each got a loaf or 2 of the sourdough, sister tried one of their confectionery items and said it was good. I also got two of their giant chocolate chip cookies for the hubs. The unanimous verdict on their sourdough bread is it is a good bread, especially for toasting; however, sourdough it is not. The bite I had was sweet and fluffy. Hubs and sister agreed it was delicious bread, just not sourdough. So, it's back to Publix for sourdough. Don't plan to eat in if you go to Suzannes, I told sister, "I guess most people get their lunch to go and eat it in the car, parked here, or back at work." Thanks, Suzzane's! I'm happy to have visited your shop and to see all you offer!

If you've read my other reviews, you know I'm an honest reviewer. The restaurant is small. What I…read moremean by that is, the ordering area will only accommodate three or four people tops. The indoor seating area has only four or six tables, so be prepared to eat outside or take it home. The place is very clean and the people are very friendly. I had the cheesesteak sandwich which was delicious. It was packed fully with beef and sweet peppers. It was a little lite on the cheese, but that's ok with me, just so you know. Opted for fries instead of the other sides available. They were very good, hot and crispy. Yes the price is a little high, but that's the world we live in now. It was very comparable to any other sandwich shop or a fast food chain.

Thank you Kathy L. for recommending using the app to order ahead! Also, you get $2 off your first…read moreorder which was nice! The app did not work on my dear friend's I phone, but I just added her order to mine and that worked fine! I did not like you couldn't modify or cancel your order after placing it via the app. I had the American Wagyu French Dip, half sub, 5 inch, no mayo which was $8.73 after the $2 discount, and friend had the Homemade Turkey, small sub, 8 inch, no raw onions which was $10.84. Both sandwiches were made correctly. We arrive 20 minutes prior to the pickup time I indicated on the app and they were just starting the orders. We were the only customers. The staff were all wearing matching uniforms, hats, and plastic gloves [I'm not sure if the cashier had gloves on]. The restaurant interior was tight, and I thought the music was too loud. The restaurant was clean, including the single unisex restroom. The staff were friendly and smiling! They forgot my au jus and were happy to give me a giant container of it, which was overkill for the size of the sub. Dear friend loved her sub. She was very excited to try this Capriotti's since she loved the Bobbie sub she had in Vegas as Capriotti's. I thought Wagyu beef was wasted on a sub sandwich. The sandwich was very filling, the au jus was hot, and I was grateful to have ice water from their fountain machine while friend got a diet drink. I'm not really a sub fan. I never wake up craving a sub. I also thought these were pricy subs! Friend's coke was $3.25. Do know, there is not ample seating inside and the "feels like" temp yesterday was supposed to reach 107 degrees. I was grateful we were able to get indoor seating. I'm glad to have tried Capriotti's; however, I personally don't have a desire to return, because of not being a big sandwich fan. I also just prefer table service and don't want to be constantly walking around to pick up the order, get napkins, refill my water, get the au jus they forgot, throw away my trash, because I've already worked a long day and I prefer to relax while dining.

It took about 45-50 minutes to be seated and then about 40 more minutes to get our food. I wanted to leave but other in our party wanted to wait it out.

I understand that things happen that are beyond the owners control but they could have at least given us a discount or maybe a free appetizer while acknowledging the delay.

She enjoyed two lovely cups of their coffee and then I think water, and I had some vino since she was driving. We split a 10 ounce filet mignon (which is not on the lunch menu but is available if you ask for it) and it was beyond delicious! I trusted our excellent server (I think her name was Holly) to select the cut of meat for sister and me from the butcher shoppe, Corkshire, and it was beyond excellent!! It was just as good, if not better than the filet I split with my Sorority Sister when we came here for my birthday in February! Sister and I also shared their take on a bruschetta. It was good; however, for me, it was the "weak link" - I like a traditional bruschetta with buffalo mozzarella, balsamic, fresh ripened tomatoes, etc., and this was more akin to a charcuterie board on toasty bread slices. It looked beautiful! The meat topping was plentiful and lovely, it had more fat on it than I care to have. There was a sort of berry relish on another layer and that's where I called it quits on the bruschetta. My sister did enjoy it, though, which is what mattered! We ordered two mac and English cheddar cheese fritters for Sister, and she really really loved those! They were presented wrapped individually in their to go box, to keep each one warm, and again, Sister, loved them! Neither of us had room for desert which, since Salty Cod has a separate bakery/gelato shoppe, would have offered some delicious options! Thanks, Salty Cod, for another memorable, relaxing birthday celebration!
