    Burger and side of macaroni salad
    Enxhi B.

    This place was pretty awesome as a quick lunch spot! It is such an unassuming place but extremely popular as a road trip stop. We got to try a sample of the pimento cheese, and yeah, it was good! I got the burger, and it was deliciously filling. Very casual indoor seating, but it was enjoyable and worth a visit!

    Wow, what a road side gem! Seriously, if you are in the area you need to try out the Long Road Cafe. Located outside Crossville in the Mayland community, this cafe is amazing. They nailed it in guest service and quality! My Dad and I stopped in for lunch expecting the traditional hot dogs, hamburgers and fries--typical greasy spoon fare. Which to be honest would have been fine. However, we discovered some interesting menu items. We both opted for Bruce's Bomber: roast beef, bacon, smoked Gouda, lettuce, onion and chipotle mayo on a soft potato roll. For our sides, I selected potato salad and Dad chose a fresh tomato and cucumber salad. I am reluctant to admit it but the potato salad rivaled my Grandmother's. It had to be a family recipe. It definitely wasn't the usual crap restaurants serve and call potato salad! Our sandwiches were served hot with a helping of amazing. Those warm soft potato rolls were incredible. Dad said the tomato salad was very good too. Before our food arrived a friendly lady brought us over a sample of pimento cheese to try. As she sat it down, she said, "this is our homemade pimento cheese following Grandpa's original recipe. As we enjoyed our meal, I asked the chef, Bruce about the building. Turns out Bruce is the owner. He joined us for a few minutes and shared some of the community's history and how a no restaurant experience couple ended up owning the Long Road Cafe. Great guy, an Air Force veteran, and interesting too. As we were leaving, Bruce was checking his smoker outside and offered us a meatball. Although stuffed, I could not resist. Once again the taste was heavenly. Great people, great food and no pretentiousness. Who could ask for more!

    A group of us had a great lunch at LRC after a round of golf. Fresh and tasty sandwiches! They have beer available as well as soft drinks. Seldom do I find a Deli/Sandwich shop that earns a perfect score but this is definitely one of them. Give them a try- you'll be glad that you did.

    Gotta stop and have some lunch - hidden gem .

    It's off the beaten path .. worth driving a few miles off the freeway to eat at the long road cafe ...

    One of the best Restaurants on the Plateau! Focuses on sandwiches and lunch fair but offer diversity in specials and iff menu. The quality and craftsmanship of their food is wonderful! This is made manifest by the large cross section and diverse backgrounds of their patrons. Blue collar or white collar the long road leads to this cafe.... Please do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a fried pie... oh... my... goooooooodnesssssss!

    I really need a good coffee to start my day, we were staying just outside of Celine, TN, small town…read morevibes, so I was not having high hopes for a decent latte within reasonable distance. We stopped to give this cafe a try as the little dinosaur sign outside was just too cute when we passed by. The place didn't look like "much" from the outside, but don't judge a book by its cover. Pleasantly surprised by the amazing coffee at this place. Their lunch and breakfast menu also had something for everyone. Did the country omelette with house potatoes. Husband had French toast, which must have been so good because I was not even able to snap a pic fast enough. Staff is friendly and attentive, they came to our table to show us their variety of hot sauces, which were like 5! If you stay at the getaway in Celina, TN, this place also delivers for free. We made the drive and it was a great place to start our day exploring the area.

    What a cute and eclectic spot, perfect if you're camping/glamping in the area…read more Order up front and choose your own seat. We got two speciality coffees, all named after cryptid characters (Yeti and Caranormal Investigator). So sweet, maybe too much but we asked for it so no harm done. For food we got two omelettes, two beignets with chocolate sauce, and a side of potatoes. The omelettes were great, I loved how much cheese they used. The beignets were hot and fresh, so tasty and unexpected in the middle of Tennessee. The lead cook hand delivered our food and apologized for a wait, which wasn't bad at all being it was packed on a Saturday morning and several signs say made to order, which I expected to wait longer for. Games, chalk tables, books, and outdoor seating. Really loved this spot, very happy we found it. Oh, and it's incredibly affordable! We spent $44 with tip for all of that.
