A must-have breakfast after camping at Black Rock Mountain State Park!! Delicious food and friendly staff. The gravy on the steak and biscuits was definitely the highlight BUT we were both pleasantly surprised with how great the coffee tasted. Glad we came to this hidden gem! read more

If you are looking for a restaurant where the food and service will have you coming back again, this is it. Everyone was friendly and made you feel welcome. The food was outstanding and made from scratch. The fried chicken is freshly fried and so juicy (it takes 20 minutes and is worth the wait.) The Mac&Cheese is some of the best I have ever had. Other reviews I read raved about breakfast, so I can't wait for our next trip to the N GA/TN area. read more

Amazing food, amazing staff, and such a welcoming vibe. Our family loves Sunday Diner!

We eat here once a week or more. Always have great home-cooked food. Service is prompt and friendly. The owners are ALWAYS there & always speak. Ambiance gives you the "at home, old diner" feel. They are also big supporters of the community and first responders. read more

Came here on the recommendation of the salesperson at Wander. Excellent service and the most amazing breakfast. Everything was top notch and the portions were huge. Must come back. read more

Sunday Diner - Coffee piping hot. - Southern Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

Thus place is a solid option for Southern comfort foods. We ate lunch here a couple of weeks ago and we had to wait to be seated, wait to have our order taken, and wait even more for our food to arrive. A couple of local guys who came in behind us looked to be on a "working lunch" schedule and left because they likely didn't have the time to wait. At the end of the day though, the review is about the food, right? AMAZING onion rings... but their "Ranch dressing" to me is more like Tzatziki sauce (which I fortunately like). The portion of friend chicken livers was HUGE. And the food here is good. I would LOVE to see this place updated. Sunday Diner is not our go-to currently because of the long waits as described, but it is a great plan B when other restaurants are busy. You won't be disappointed in the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the cooking here. read more

Monday morning breakfast at "Sunday Diner". My husband and I stopped by this Diner for breakfast. We haven't been this way and wanted a home cooked-type breakfast. Well, this Diner didn't disappoint us. Gear choice. I had the Ribeye Steak and eggs\ husband had the Mexican omelette. Both we delicious. The owner was there and thought my steak looked too thin to be considered a full steak so he added another ribeye! Wow, so kind. The Server was very nice and attentive. If you are ever close by stop in for a great meal. read more

Good food, especially the breakfast menu. Very reasonable, too! It does get noisy in there, which is the only con.

Stopped in here for some southern food while traveling between Atlanta and Asheville with friends. We all got separate meals and none of us were very impressed. Pros: Cream of Spinach was really good. Creamy and garlicky. I need to learn how to make this at home. Room for improvement: Fried Chicken was very bland and had a good amount of gristle in it. To their credit, they claimed that they burned my first fried chicken breast and remade it for me. So it took a little longer to come out. So that was kind of them. But it was also very flavorless. Any of sort of seasoning would've helped. The breading was a perfect amount, but didn't taste like much. The French fries were bad. I mean really bad. Soggy, undercooked, oil seemed like it wasn't that hot while cooked... The green beans were alright. Kind of vinegary and not much other flavor. Not really my thing. NOBODY in this place was wearing a mask. Not the employees. Not the 70 year old customers. Georgia's COVID cases have been the highest on record the last several days and I really think at least the employees should be wearing masks even if you aren't going to ask the customers to. read more

My mom and I stopped in for lunch yesterday and it was delicious. Super nice people, really great food and can't recommend this place enough. Can not wait for my next trip to N Georgia so I eat here again! read more

Great food, best eggs I have had in long time. Generous proportions Big Manly Breakfast read more

Always a great meal whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner. Breakfast is the best around. Burgers are always spot on. Salads are to die for. Make sure you go hungry! Mike and Chris greet you with a smile and always make you feel at home. Food cooked to order. Served like you're one of the family. read more

Very good food, nice presentation. These folks are definitely going to stay in business. But be prepared for these 2 things. 45 min to get in & out for breakfast. HUGE portions! I ordered their Everything Breakfast Bagel sandwich & they put at least THREE eggs on it, served with 4 pieces of bacon and a whole avocado. Way too much for one person. Our suggestion is to go expecting to share a plate. If I could ask for one thing it would have been, when I asked for my bagel to be button the kitchen, I wish they had not said "no" & handed the little containers of Hydrogenated oil things. read more

Came in tonight with a big appetite, and a craving for pancakes. My very kind waitress told me that their buttermilk pancakes were "hugeee". I ordered 4 pancakes and two fried eggs and it was amazing! Every pancake craving I had was satisfied by those fluffy little monsters. The eggs were perfectly fried, but there was too much oil on them and the plate was filled with it also. Overall the meal was delicious, and well worth the price of 10$. This is a great place to take a family for a relaxing and comforting meal! read more

Sunday Diner - 4 giant buttermilk pancakes and two sunny side up eggs - Southern Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

First time visit The food wasn't very good, fry's were way undercooked We just dislike everything we ordered The big question is would I go back, not a chance The food is way overrated But we did enjoy the entertainment, a roach was running up and down the wall Kind of took away my appetite read more

My parents and I stopped in on the way out of town today. Their normal tradition is stopping at Waffle House on the way out but I'm not a big fan of it. We just so happen to see this sign across the street and decided to give it a try. I'm pretty sure they have a new tradition now! My Mom ordered the Loaded Tater Cakes as it was something she use to eat growing up. They brought out 3 big cakes that we weren't able to finish for fear we wouldn't be able to eat our lunch. We had the western omelet, rib & chicken basket and the pork chops with fried okra, turnip greens and cornbread. The servings were huge! There wasn't a single thing that wasn't amazing! My Mom has now decided she's not eating turnip greens and fried okra anywhere else until she comes back here lol .. great service and amazing food! read more

First time here. Recommended by a local from Tiger Creek Falls Inn. Large breakfast portions, great food, and very friendly service from Molly who has been here over two years and knows everybody. Prices very reasonable. I had the breakfast bowl and my husband had the pancake breakfast. He had to take half his breakfast home and he's a hearty eater. Pancakes were the size of his plate. Molly went out of her way to tell us about their very special bacon and fresh coffee which is special ground by a local guy named Charlie. We come here often to Clayton to camp and I have to have gluten-free food and this will be one of our regular visits now. read more

Sunday Diner - Breakfast bowl and pancake breakfast with a side of bacon. - Southern Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

I loooved the hometown feel and our waitress was amazing (everyone really was nice) Not to mention that the community was pouring in for breakfast after we got there... but the food was just "meh" and quite greasy. Maybe that's what "diner" means ? Greasy. My kids got the giant pancakes and my husband got the big manly breakfast meal w lots of meat? I ordered the bagel sandwich thingy and it was decent but still super greasy. We're not from around these parts, so maybe our tummies just weren't used to what everyone else is used to... but my husband, nephew and my niece all got sorta sick from the extra extra oil in their meals. I didn't finish mine and picked on the bagel for the most part and aside from some indigestion from the greasy egg, I was okay. We really had high hopes because of the amazing service. Also, the bathroom and floors need a bit of sprucing up. Sticky greasy floors is not inviting. If they just fix these issues, I'm sure this place would be raving with even more people. There weren't many breakfast joints in town. read more

A terrific spot for any meal, but we went for a late breakfast our server Tia provided the best service ever! She was friendly and welcoming. Our breakfast was quick, hot and delish! Everything was homemade. We will go back at least a couple more times before leaving to hear home. Thank you Mike for telling us about your place. Yum! read more

You can taste the "love" and care in their Southern home cooked dishes. My favorite is the chicken livers platter, my husband loves their fried chicken so he requested a combination of both and they were happy to indulge us. I'm not one to love sweets and I've never tried their vanilla cake before, but they offered us a complimentary piece since they were celebrating their 1st year anniversary, and it was just delicious! Definitely the best comfort food in Rabun County read more

My wife and I love Sunday Diner! I have never had a bad meal there. The staff is always friendly and cheerful. The food is top quality and reasonably priced. The owner is often seen walking around greeting customers at their table and asking them how everything is. In fact I'm going back tomorrow for breakfast. Don't miss this gem of a diner! read more

So yummy. Best breakfast in town. Owners and employees very nice. Easy take out. Will be back soon! read more

LOVE this place. Was in Clayton for a week and this is the best place we ate at. My fiancé and I both got the friend chicken with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. Took a bit longer to make but that's because they made it from scratch on the spot. Service was amazing as well. read more

Found this place on Yelp. Gave them a try today and they just won a forever customer. My order was takeout and had their Ribeye steak platter with mashed potatoes and a Salad. Very nice people over the phone and in person when I arrived. Very attentive to my order and questions. Clean place and the packaging was perfect. All items arrived intact and the food was great. Even the salad dressing had me wanting some more and I am not a salad person. Will continue to try their other items. read more

Just finished my meal here and it was great. The owner and employees work hard and have great personalities. Food was delicious! I had the steak and eggs and my fiancée had the "dare you" burger. He loved it! Missed out on the oatmeal cream pies BUT the owner gave me his info to call and give a heads up that I am coming and I want a pie. Customer service is ON POINT. Thank you Michael! We will return. read more

The sweetest little diner ever, with classic southern comfort food! The service was friendly and helpful, the food was ready quick and tasted delicious-and good prices! The perfect southern meal after a day of hiking and sightseeing in the cute town. I'd love to come back again for some more biscuits! read more

Sunday Diner - Southern Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

My husband and I came in for brunch. I ordered the everything bagel sandwich and he ordered the chicken tender, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Everything was okay. We both agreed most tasted bland and could use some more seasoning. After some shakes of salt, pepper, and hot sauce, things got better. However, the coffee was not good and tasted like hot water. The lady beside us ordered the pancake breakfast and it looked amazing!! I'd definitely go that route if we ate here again. read more

Excellent! Killer burgers. Breakfast anytime. Very pleasant staff. Great deserts as well. Very reasonable pricing and plenty to choose from. Can't miss stop in Clayton, GA. read more

Sunday Diner - Southern Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

Great southern/American style food and a good selection too. My buddy got an omelette and I a got pimento burger with salad and mac and cheese. All were good and was a great place to fill up after hiking for 3 days. Though busy food came out quickly. From the hostess to our waitress and servers all were very attentive and helpful. Great southern accents too. This was a good quiet place to eat outside and off the main drag in Clayton. Oh yea and the staff wore masks as did some patron's. Will go back again. Leave a healthy tip as I did to keep this kind of real small town service and food around. read more

We have found this diner to be a hidden gem in the Clayton area. Most people/tourists flock to the cafes on the main thoroughfare, and miss this treasure just off the main road. Always friendly staff, and the perfect place to go for a classic American diner breakfast. We come every time we are in the area. read more

We'd gone to another local breakfast place and the service was terrible. We walked out and I was hangry. The service here more than made up for my earlier experience. The food was very good. My girlfriend had a croissant breakfast sandwich and said the croissant was perfect. She said the bacon was cooked to perfection with a wonderful flavor. I had the country fried steak with sausage gravy. Better than most places I've had it. Sunday Diner with their great service and portions is the cure for hangry. #hangrycure read more

We enjoyed a really positive experience with this spot! It's located in a non-descript strip mall, of sorts, but it's easy to find. The service was great, and our waitress was super sweet. She was eager to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. The owner/cook was a big presence in the place and wanted folks to enjoy the meal. I ordered the fried chicken which is prepared when you order it so give a little extra time. It was solid and the portions ample. The sides were great and much like you'd expect during Sunday dinner at your grandma's house. I'd recommend the place for solid food, good service, and a very reasonable price point! read more

I ordered the eight piece family meal which when you look at the menu online it says $16 and comes with two large sides and four biscuits. I added a large size fried okra. The total came out to $27. I thought that was a bit high, but I didn't say anything. When I get home I see that there are no biscuits. On top of that they only gave me one breast, but three chicken wings. Not a very good trade on the consumer side if you ask me. Then I notice that they couldn't even fill the fried okra all the way up to the top of the container. So $20 for eight pieces of fried chicken when you're only getting one breast and three wings and no biscuits. Then $5.50 for a fried okra that's not even filled up all the way. Sounds like highway robbery to me. I won't be going back there again. read more

Came highly recommended by our neighbor at our air bnb. No one spoke to us when we came in until I asked if we sat ourselves. Staff was VERY friendly, but we had to ask three times for our side of gravy and refill. Food was not as good as the Rusty Bike-go there. Then the register wouldn't work after 15 minutes so we had to pay cash. Would not go here again. read more
