Great food and service. We sat outside on the back patio, it was so nice. Didn't know what to expect, found this place randomly while driving around South Carolina looking for somewhere to eat lunch. This was one of a very few options so we took the chance and loved it. read more

My Mom, my neighbors and I went up the Road here. I had never eaten here. We had breakfast. Nice atmosphere. Nice breakfast They serve outdoors when It's warm outside. I would eat here again. I would like to try lunch or dinner You did have to ask for anything you wanted. Like coffee. They walk right by you and see your table is crowded and don't ask to pull anything and have coffee and don't offer Kinda fd up I thought read more

Delicious food, very good service :):) I recommend Friendly waiters. Large menu selection!

This quaint mountain cafe was the perfect start to our morning. We were greeted with hot coffee and friendly, attentive staff. Our husbands enjoyed feasting on the Mountain Man breakfast. I had the blueberry pancake which was perfectly fluffy. I really appreciated that they had sugar free syrup, which I often can't get when I eat out. We stopped at this little cafe nestled in the mountain, and went across the street to the Moonshine Distillary for a holiday market. I felt like I was in a Hallmark movie! read more

We come here often since we live around the corner and it never disappoints! There is one thing that is evident about this place and that is that the servers are committed to excellence. I'm not sure what the owner did to find the people that they have, but every one of them are committed to the customers, and they work their tales off, which is unlike the younger generation of today. Even though we are new in town, Me and my wife absolutely love coming here to eat. Cole is always awesome! read more

First time for all six of us, and we enjoyed most of the food, the atmosphere, and the company. Two young ladies were our wait staff - pleasant and efficient. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch, and didn't feel rushed. Husband had the fried chicken sandwich. It wasn't as good as he hoped. It was a little dry even with added mayonnaise. In the middle of eating it, he switched to a knife & fork. His side salad was okay. I had the Cobb salad with greens, lots of chicken, sliced hard boiled egg, diced cucumbers & tomatoes, green pepper & avocado slices and picked onions. It was good - especially the chicken and avocado slices. I'm not sure what everyone else had, but most of us cleaned our plates. The desserts were delicious. Husband savored every bite of his coconut custard pie. The blueberry cheesecake was very good, but after a bite of the salted caramel cheesecake that a friend ordered, I know I should have had that. They were out of key lime pie which 2 friends wanted. They took bites of the two cheesecakes and two coconut custard pie slices. The service was exceptional. We'll definitely be back, to try other things on the menu, but especially for the desserts! read more

This place was just amazing!! The food was GREAT. Homemade grits & sausage gravy with biscuits were the best I've had in years. Service was great too. Ambiance was perfect. Felt like I was in my momma's kitchen!! read more

This cafe is the welcoming gathering spot for this rural hamlet as well as a refueling stop for DuPont hikers and bikers. A chalkboard menu offers daily specials. Expect a mix of cultural cuisines here. Burgers and trout are staples on the regular menu. Prices are moderate and service is very friendly. Nice outdoor dining area too. read more

The food is awesome here! At breakfast, do not miss the best pancake in the world! The service is always way above average with lots of pleasant smiles. CMC is my favorite place. read more

My second time at Cedar Mountain and it had been a few years. I thought perhaps I exaggerated how great it was last time in my head because I was so hungry after my long hike in DuPont. Nope. This time I went pre hike and it was still fabulous! Again, I sat outside in the cozy garden patio. Waitress was very attentive but also told us to help ourselves to anything we needed from the water or coffee station if she got busy inside. I ordered the huevos rancheros overly creamy grits -- such a mix of flavors and textures. Husband enjoyed the Mexican omelette and daughter enjoyed pancakes and grits. We were all impressed. I absolutely love this little gem of a restaurant. read more

5 stars for service 5 stars for menu options 100 stars for deliciousness!!! I can't say enough great things to fully paint the picture here about how spectacular this little cafe is, but I'll confidently state that it is my favorite breakfast spot in all of WNC. I said what I said. My go to order is coffee with oat milk (sometimes oat is unavailable, but almond is available), juevos rancheros and a pancake. The chocolate chip pancake is my favorite, although last week the daily special was raspberry and there were whole raspberries nestled into the perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside pancake. The juevos rancheros has the perfect combination of flavors and textures and I'm all about it. Lunch here is excellent, too, and portion sizes are very generous. read more

What a hidden gem! After hiking in the morning, we were starving. Found this place and saw the reviews were good. The cafe is pretty and the patio with the waterfall was even better. We had a wonderful server. The food: I had the fried chicken sandwich. Maybe food tastes better after a hike, but that may have been the best chicken sandwich I've had. The chicken was huge and the breading was seasoned well. The server recommended the sweet potato fries, which were awesome! Hubby had the chicken wrap which I had a bite of. Sweet and a little spicy. Great flavor. Definitely recommend this place! Wished we lived closer. read more

We ordered our food online to go. We ordered the fried trout and the patty melt! Both were delicious. Would def order again! I'm a burger snob, i don't like a thick dry patty and theirs was perfect! read more

Was out on a drive with friends and stopped here for lunch. It's not very big, but they were able to accommodate us nicely. Ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries and both were pretty good. For a place in the middle of nowhere, it'll definitely hit the spot. read more

Amazing food and the staff is so friendly! We found this place on a whim and will be back! Highly recommend the French toast.

We travel to Brevard 1-2 times each year and always plan for breakfast one day at Cedar Mountain Cafe. The food is consistently good - especially the blueberry pancakes, potatoes, biscuits - and the service is consistently excellent. Great breakfast location prior to spending the rest of the day at DuPont Forest. read more

SoThe female manager is extremely grumpy and rude. she needs intensive training in customer service. she was so nasty to us about our service dog that we are still considering a lawsuit. read more

I love you CMC. One of the most enjoyable experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. The food is freaking AMAZING, the service is outstanding, and I still have dreams about the gravy. I highly recommend the mountain man breakfast (or anything else on the menu for that matter). If you are in the area, or even within an hour range, you are quite simply doing yourself a disservice not eating at the Cedar Mountain Cafe. P.S. the t shirts are really cool too read more

Of all the places we ate in this area, Cedar Mountain Cafe was by far the one we enjoyed the most. Their food didn't disappoint. We ended up going there multiple times to try their menu for different times of the day (breakfast and lunch). Our service both times were very nice. We had the same waitress. The ambiance was busy and smaller in sitting compared to other establishments we visited. One tip to know is that your whole party needs to be there before you are seated. Parking when we went wasn't bad...you can find plenty in the back! They have a beautiful water fountain that mimics a water fall; very pretty for photos! read more

We visited the chapel at sun rise near by and needed to stop to eat something before heading back home to Jacksonville Fl. Everyone was super nice. The ambiance felt so homey, and the chilaquiles was fantastic. If in the area again I will be back. read more

Fresh light and tasty! I had the catfish sandwich with sweet potato fries! Catfish was so juicy and that tartar sauce is on point! She had the blackbean burger and exclaimed that it was "The best she ever had!". read more

Visiting Brevard for the weekend and stopped here for breakfast. Food and service were both good. Ambience was fine but nothing special but it was clean and decent. The coffee wasn't great but other than that, it's a good place for an omlette. read more

This is a trendy little spot. Kinda the only show in town. It was sorta loud inside so we should have eaten outside. We had very good service for sure. Actually has a good menu but it's fancy, not really country like I was expecting. The prices were on the high side as to what we are accustomed to. It was good tasting and food quantity though. read more

bad General Manager, she had an issue with our Service dog! She was rude and not dog friendly! What a B _ _ch!

So slow. We waited about a half hour for sandwiches that were good but not great. It was loud inside but it's an informal place, that was fine. read more

Amazing food and staff ambience is very nice staff especially is very good at what they do. We in particular had Marion and really enjoyed our time there, will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Great place for your traditional breakfast! It's not a huge place but we got a table without waiting on a Sunday morning. Overall the experience was great. Friendly and quick service -- I swear we didn't wait 5 minutes before our food was out! I ordered the blueberry pancakes & bacon and my friend had the veggie wrap + side of potatoes. Bacon was delicious and the pancakes were perfect...Lots of blueberries! He liked his veggie wrap and the potatoes were very good. Prices are reasonable and there is a lot to choose from. read more

Great food, if you're Hungary and need something near by or not. It's worth the trip.

We stopped here for dinner after a long day of hiking. My meal (chicken stuffed with spinach and feta) was delicious, and very reasonably priced. The servers were friendly and attentive. The outdoor patio was comfortable and a pleasant alternative to sitting indoors on such a beautiful day! read more

You can count on consistently good food here. Friday night Prime rib dinners are delish! Sometimes they are short staffed but be patient it IS a very small town restaurant. The Manager is very New York and comes across gruff to southerners but she is a good person trying to ensure customers are getting good quality food. So please disregard the negative reviews knowing your food WILL be good. read more

Went there for lunch and thought it was okay! I ordered the greek salad with shrimp. Salad had 4 small shrimps, which was a bummer for the extra money. Don't think I'd go back for lunch but would try it for breakfast since it seems like its more of a breakfast place. read more

After a long morning of hiking, we were starving and so glad we found this place! It's a very small and cute diner and as soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by a very friendly staff and were seated right away. The first thing that caught my attention was their wide variety of food for being such a small place. I asked the waitress about their chicken salad sandwich and she was overly excited about how good it was so I had to give it a try. Perfect combination of mayonnaise and seasoning but they threw a little something different with some sweet chopped onions and it was phenomenal! I had never had chicken salad with onions but it really brought the sandwich together with their garden fresh tomatoes and just the right amount of lettuce. I paired it with their potato salad and wow it was great! My wife ordered the fried buffalo chicken and it was a massive pounded out chicken breast golden fried with a very good buffalo sauce on it. She had the sweet potato fries and they were thick and hand cut. My kids ordered burgers who both finished every bit and said they were really good. If you are near Dupont State Park and hungry you really have to stop by. We want to go back because they have so many items to choose from and everything looked great! read more

Food was excellent but the service was bad no refills no to go box had to go to counter to get bill . They were not busy

We love Cedar Mountain Cafe - it's our go to for breakfast and lunches. Today, however, was a disappointment。 We ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was pathetic - hardly any filling - a tiny amount of meat and no pickles. The bread was only about 6 inches in length - not enough to share as we usually do - $14. I will continue to visit the cafe but wanted to ask them the management to monitor quality. read more
