I had the stuffed portobello mushroom sandwich and it was delicious. The ciabatta roll accented the mushroom well. It was served with tortilla chips and an apple salsa.

They also had a lot of pastries and desserts. We had two of them. The red velvet dessert was a keeper. The prices are what you would expect. Not cheap but not overpriced either. Recommended.

We got through pretty quickly and had some of the most delicious coffee. I got a hazelnut latte with half and half which was perfect. We also ordered a raspberry danish, a spinach and feta danish, and 3 hazelnut donut holes. The raspberry danish has that perfect flaky layered crust with just enough filling but not overpowering or heavy. The donut holes were so fluffy and chewy yet not sticky sweet. And I didn't try the spinach and feta danish until this morning so not gonna comment on that other than it hit the spot and was still yummy. Cute place! If you're in the area check it out. They also have sandwiches which I would like to try, just a reason to come back I guess.

Arrived at Strickland's late one morning for breakfast. The Yelp ratings set high expectations,…read morewhich were thoroughly met. We were promptly greeted and seated. The restaurant is plainly decorated with about a dozen tables. We timed our visit perfectly since it seemed that soon after we arrived the lunch crowd began arriving, which quickly created a wait. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, which cooked perfectly and were topped with a well-executed béarnaise sauce. We also ordered a Meat-Lover's Omelette that was generously stuffed with various meats. We also ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes that were light and fluffy in the middle with slightly-crisp edges. Delicious all around. Service was attentive and efficient. The staff seemed to have multiple roles as you would expect in a small/family-run restaurant. I highly recommend you stop here for breakfast or lunch and enjoy delicious food in a simple atmosphere.

So here's the thing, I was really excited to try this place. My husband and I showed up and there…read morewas maybe a 20-minute wait. Not terrible considering it was Saturday morning breakfast rush. We wait, the place is rather small, so you can see the tables and the progress they've made with food. We get seated about the same time as another table.

Another two groups come in and have a five(ish) minute wait and get seated and are immediately given menus, and we are still sitting with nothing, no one is even making eye contact with us, again small place and we were right by the counter. So, after drinks were taken at the two newer tables and we still had no menus my husband and I got up and left. The reviews made me want to try this place, but after that, we won't be back to try.

We were informed that they will continue to serve brunch. We stumbled upon this place as were visiting Tiger, GA. We went to the wine tasting at Tiger Mountain Vineyards and were told about the Red Barn Cafe during the tasting. They told us that the place is usually crowded so we needed to walk over and see if there was any availability for the evening. We followed the orders and upon walking in, ran into the chef. He greeted us and said that yes, there was availability. I asked what they had on the menu and he replied, "I'm not 100% sure yet, I haven't finished making it." He then proceeded to tell us that he would definitely have steak and fish, but he was not sure what else. I loved hear this as it meant everything was going to be fresh! We came back that evening and walked into the dining area where we were greeted by the 1 waiter that was working. We were the only people in the place. The dining area has a cozy, at home feeling to it, with flowers and lit candles on each table. There is no air conditioning but there are heating lamps around the tables and the waiter provided my wife and I a blanket if we needed it. The waiter was awesome and wish I would have gotten his name. Very personable and provided great service all evening. I got the NY Strip with a baked potato and some sort of greens. It was fresh, came out fast and absolutely delicious! My wife ordered the grouper (we did not know it was fried). It was excellent! I will definitely be back for brunch. All in all, the Red Barn Cafe provides a great atmosphere, excellent service, and superb food. Looking forward to coming back soon.

This diner is located in a back street, next to a market and close enough to a strip mall with restaurants. It's a quiet place although lots of people come in and out. We sat down, got our coffee, ate our meals, and wondered if we could eat more. The food was so tasty that we really wanted to take more food with us. I had a chicken fried steak and my gf had an omelette. Every table around us was busy eating, we were not the only ones who appreciated this food. For a humble place with delicious food, the prices were average. The coffee could use a little help, as well as the A/C, but all in all, it was a win for us hungry bears.

Well, it's down a couple of stars. I'm not from Clayton, but…read morewe love this little town and visit it often, last trip in January 2026. I noticed the window sign said "Angie's Clayton Cafe" and whilst being seated at 11:45AM on Tuesday June 2, 2026, noted the wall art had changed, no more local memorabilia, and the menu is now a well worn, two sheet pieces of copy paper. No problem, the place was nearing capacity per usual and we did get a window seated table. But, then I noticed, no collard greens on the menu. So, if you read my earlier reviews, you will note that I have eaten at quite a few "meat and three" style country diners and that I also know how to cook this food at home. That's a big qualifier, because Clayton Cafe had become a part of our destination trip to Clayton from Greenville, SC. It was just that good, a notch above the crowd. I didn't find this experience to be the same. The decor, service, ambiance was the same. Even the same crowd starting a 15 minute table wait shortly after noon. Business has not suffered, but the food is not the same. Overall, everything was less flavorful, more bland. The highlight, the white sawmill gravy was piping hot and flowed well, not a gloopy mess and I like that it was served on the side. The country fried steak was tender, but it had less crunch on the crust and was significantly bland - pepper and salt please. The green beans had a small chunk of meat involved, but they too were very bland and lacked a depth of flavor expected from the hamhock, the biscuit was good, but not the buttery crusty biscuit if yore. The okra was straight up flour breading with no cornmeal in the mixture and that's a game changer on this dish. Fried chicken was good. Squash, or squash casserole was a bland mess and left uneaten. Don't get me wrong. This three star rating means "OK". It's still a good meat and three. It's just not an exceptional meat and three as experiences my multiple prior visits. So that's when I asked the server if the restaurant had changed owners and yes, in April 2026. Well, there ya go, but Bon Chance to the new owners and Godspeed towards the hard work and keeping it going. Obviously, a full house lunch crowd on a Tuesday in June shows positive momentum. I'm just saying, pay attention to flavor, both in depth and complexity, to make these Southern standards stand out from the meat and three crowd.

We wanted a hot breakfast while in town for a wedding and this cafe was so charming…read more We ordered a variety of breakfast dishes like the corned beef hash, omelets, and eggs. The biscuits were delicious and not too dry, but the corned beef hash was a little too salty (even for a fiend like me) and my omelet was both under and over cooked. Even if the food was ok, I have to call out the exceptional service we received. Our waiter was kind and attentive, clarifying whether we wanted sweet or unsweet tea (my California ass forgot I was in the south now), warning us the kitchen was running a little behind due to the morning rush, and in general being a gem of a human being. I'd come back for that treatment! Logistics: - limited street parking in front - indoor seating only
