This place has such a cool, laid back vibe! If you're looking for a great breakfast, this is your spot! The owner's pictures of them "biking" all over the country give you a sense of getting to know them without ever meeting them. Portions are large for the inexpensive price and there are so many options to choose from on the menu! If you don't want leftovers, I recommend splitting a meal. You won't be sorry either way! Our service was great and you definitely feel that local, small town friendliness with the servers. If we travel back to Clayton, we will definitely be returning! read more

The Rusty Bike Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants. Our family has been frequenting there for several years. The excellent food, cozy environment, and tremendous service keep up coming back time and again. The entire staff treats my mom like family, and it is always joy to see how happy she is whenever we visit. Great food is one thing, but the service is what really keeps us coming back. I highly recommend the Rusty Bike, but do be prepared to wait a little bit because word is out how good this place is, and there's always a crowd. However it is WELL worth the wait! We will continue visiting the Rusty Bike for a long time to come. read more

Ample portions for the cost, great biscuits! I had an omelette, it was huge! My friend had eggs n ham, it too was huge! Very busy cafe tucked in the mountains of N Ga. But right on the main road into town. Ideal place to visit for gear heads and motorcycle enthusiasts. Be prepared to wait. Definitely a place I would recommend to friends and would come back to visit when in town. read more

Great spot for breakfast just south of downtown Clayton. Big portions, reasonable prices and super fast service. I think our food came out within five minutes of ordering. Everything was delicious but the pancakes and Hawaiian toast were highlights. Coffee was also great! Clean and bright interior with lots of bike/motorcycle decor. Leave your politics and attitude behind... this place will gladly refuse to serve you if you're a jerk. read more

Celiac friendly! If this means anything to you then you know! I called ahead and spoke to the owner Joel. After just a couple of minutes on the phone I knew he understood what it meant to accommodate someone. Upon arrival he spoke to us personally and gave my daughter full confidence that her meal would be safe. Over the last year of trying to navigate celiac we have found eating out to be a super challenge. Today Joel made our visit amazing. All of this aside the food was wonderful! The service was prompt and the atmosphere made us feel like regulars. We will definitely return when we are in the area. Thank you Joel and staff for a wonderful experience. read more

A great breakfast or lunch stop in North Ga. We've been going for years. Try the Menage De Tryke!

Went there on the way back from the cabin in NC - just keep in mind it is a MAGA themed restaurant as other reviewers noted. My issue is not with that (sonewhat expected in north GA) - both food and service were absolutely terrible. The most generic, bland, tasteless food from a sysco truck. Somewhat shocked by so many good reviews. read more

A very pleasant surprise. Don't let the negative comments about the decor turn you away from awesome food. This place is decorated as an upscale Biker Bar. It's not something out of "Son's". Give it a try and you just might make a friend or two. Service was awesome. The menu options were on point. Everything was fresh and hot and the coffee was a great morning blend. My wife was torn between a chicken tender lunch or a breakfast. The waitress said "No problem" and switched her breakfast meat option to chicken tenders. There were three, very large, hand breaded, fresh fried perfectly cooked tenders...awesome switch. Don't let a couple stickers or signs sway you from a most excellent meal. If you feel that you might be offended, don't go and support them. It will be your loss. read more

Went to The Rusty Bike Cafe for brunch today while on an impromptu trip to the mountains. I ordered the #7 (The Three Wheeler) - pancakes, eggs, and sausage. My husband ordered the #3 (Roadster) - Country Fried Steak, gravy, eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit. Everything was really good! Pancakes were delicious, but HUGE!!! read more

We were recently in Dillard, Georgia for the leaves change, and we had breakfast at this rusty bike Café and let me tell you the breakfast was huge cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. The overall ambience of the restaurant was really fun with all the Harley Davidson, memorabilia and different famous peoples pictures signed hanging on the wall we especially loved seeing Donald Trump Junior's signed autographed picture on the wall. These people are very patriotic and it shows. The service was fantastic very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone traveling in this area. read more

A great breakfast at a reasonable price. Great service that is always friendly. I love the multigrain pancakes.

I and my family stopped here on our way back from NC for summer vacation and enjoyed it!! The hash browns, are TO DIE FOR!! They are perfectly crispy on the top and as you continue eating the bottom turns into that excellent kind of soft type! I got the breakfast burrito and it was awesome, just like the employees!! They are supper nice and attentive! This place is awesome, very family friendly, and kind of reminds me of my uncles man cave. Overall 10/10 will visit again if we're in the area!! read more

We made a last minute decision to try them for Breakfast during our last morning in Clayton, and SO glad we did. We arrived to a 10-15 minute wait, but were offered instant seating at the bar which we took advantage of. The Owner, Joel, was putting together place settings near us and handed us menus. I ordered "The Trike" and my wife had a biscuit and gravy. Food arrived in about 10 minutes and was absolutely delicious. About twice the hash browns you get at WH, two eggs, 2 strips of bacon, and a large freshly baked biscuit with butter and strawberry jam. We both enjoyed our meal. While we were at the bar, Joel was chatting with us and he was a pleasure to converse with. He told us about some of the other breakfast options and gave us both a sample of his wife's Apple Cinnamon cake, which was excellent. The atmosphere is definitely that of a small mountain town. We felt right at home and enjoyed looking at some of the trinkets and decals scattered around our area. Highly suggest you give them a try! read more

These folks are GREAT. I'm not writing this review to benefit me or anyone else besides the folks at the cafe. We are somewhat local, non-tourist; Clarkesville to be exact, but when we head up 441 we ALWAYS plan a stop at the cafe for breakfast. I always get the basics, eggs, ham, sausage ,grits, with a slice of french toast. I told the owner a couple weeks ago I was coming back for the 'all you can eat french toast gala'. (the french toast is that good). He told me that would never happen, Ha ! Ha!. We are going by there in a couple of days and will be picking up to-go orders on our way to Bryson City. So I cant indulge in the French Toast Feast this go around, but one day, one day, I WILL!!!!!! Please folks, if you are looking for good, basic, breakfast cooking, give these folks a try. I dont do reviews that often, since most of them are fake, but I trust in these folks and you can too. Bentley Howard read more

The Rusty Bike Cafe - Coffee cup - Cafes Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

The food was really solid. My dining companion, and I split an order of the banana bread, French toast, and the Breakfast Burrito. We really enjoyed both items. The banana bread had a nice flavor. It was nice and eggy and covered with bananas. Good time and a delicious praline sauce. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a nice texture. But it's not banana bread is in a loaf of banana bread it's like may be a challah bread flavored with banana. In any case it was the perfect texture for French toast. Surprise star of the meal was the breakfast burrito. I can't explain why I liked it so much. The wrap had a nice chewiness...Maybe the egg is cooked directly on the wrap???? I can't explain the alchemy... It was just a perfect match. We also very much enjoyed the sausage in the burrito. It had a mild flavor and firm texture that we really enjoyed. Just a really solid meal. Very nice. The prices were also very fair, as well as the serving size. We did not go away hungry. In terms of the atmosphere it was fine. The wait staff was really nice. And it felt like a homey place. I could've lived without some of the signage. Not a very welcoming, feeling initially... But we got past it and really enjoyed our food. read more

If you take away the cute decor and funny signs you would have the most below average diner you have ever been to. Southern small town diner that couldn't even get the grits right. Sorry, but soupy grits? Also, the coffee was watery and bland. Aside from that, everything else, including the service was pretty bland as well. Big portions dont matter if the food isn't prepared well. Do you self a favor and go to any of the other places in town who actually care. read more

Good morning feeling! Biscuits and gravy and all.large portions Coffee topped off regular.

The food wasn't bad nor was the coffee but at the same time wasn't great either. The servers were kind but didn't come to check on us often and I had to ask for a lot of things. But the overall ambience and vibe of the place is nice. So if your out and about it's a nice place for a decent bite. read more

The food was absolutely fantastic and the prices were just as great! Excellent food at a moderate price.

By far, the best breakfast I've eaten (while traveling). The pancakes tasted just like my mom's. I love the option of 3 meats, grits, and a pancake. Most restaurants don't have this option. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Let's start with the ambience of this place because I feel like it's the main thing once you walk in lol. We'll get to the food (it was great) but I feel this is a need to know for anyone that wants to try this place. It is very political here. Very clearly pro MAGA and conservative. Not saying anything against it, I just feel it's something people should know in deciding if they want to come here or not. When you walk in there are signs and pictures hanging on every inch of the walls and I'd say when you walk in and around the bar about half of them are something political. When you get to were we sat in the back of the place there are some cool pictures and signs that aren't political in nature (kinda giving off old zaxbys before the rebrand) so that was nice. Aside from that, the food here was really good and so was the service. We got the banana bread French toast that the server (Cassie) recommended and it was a treat. I think it goes a little over the top with the banana bread, but it was still really good, just super decadent. I think it would have been better with regular French toast with all the same toppings of this one though. My fiancé got the Black Bird which is a blackened fried chicken with melted pimento cheese and there rusty sauce that is similar to a yumyum sauce. He said it was amazing. Onion rings were good too. I got the gear shifter. Everything was great the sausage patty was super yummy. I added cheese to my grits and they were not stingy with the cheese at all. We got coffees too and they were pretty good. Overall this place was good, just a little in your face political. read more

A unique breakfast spot in Clayton. Pretty good reviews. Wait was a bit long, around 45 minutes so be prepared for that. It was the weekend though. It was definitely worth it! Lots of choices on the menu with both breakfast and lunch available. I was Rouen between the burrito, the Ruben or the hog. I landed on the hog. A Burger with bacon in it, topped with pimento cheese, jalapeños, fried onion rings and their Rusty sauce. Really good. The Rusty sauce was really nice. The burger blend was really good. Loved the burger. Deb had the country fried steak biscuit. Delicious as well. Gravy was nice and thick. She also had some French toast. Too sweet for me but really good. A great breakfast/ lunch spot. read more

So I happened on this place several years ago and had the best BLT I had ever had in a restaurant. It still pops up in Facebook every year in my memories. I have been following them on FB and they are always posting pictures and bragging on these beautiful cakes and some other desserts. So I decided today to take a ride up into the north Georgia mountains and stop here for lunch. First, the menu has changed (might have been some time ago) and there is no BLT. Disappointed, but I order a Reuben. On the menu under sweets, it has two options, one of which is "Cake of the Day." So I ask what the cake is and I am told that there is no cake, they had half of a cake leftover but somebody bought it all. So, if that random customer had not come in, they were going to serve me day-old cake. You know that day-old stuff in a bakery is always on sale, right? So, now no BLT and no cake. So I pay $20 for a soggy Reuben and a cup of coffee and get to eat it on a sticky bar with a display of Trump memorabilia in front of me. I was always told one of the first rules of business is no politics. Why did I give it two stars? The staff was nice. But I will never be back to this place, there are too many other food options in the area. read more
