The staff is great specially Alisha, she was very kind and polite.I highly recommend if you want a good homemade pie or great hamburgers to stop by Clinch Mountain Bakery.You will not be disappointed.
We were on our way out of town and saw this restaurant on the top of the hill. We drove up and went inside and was greeted by very friendly people. The breakfast was wonderful and very tasty. It was very clean. We would suggest anyone to go to this place and will definitely go back later.
The ambiance is a bit rustic, the service could be faster but we were in an off time (2:30 pm). But the food is wonderful.
Stopped by on a whim passing through and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the chicken salad sandwich and a bacon grilled cheese. Food came quickly and our server was so nice. Fries are seasoned well and boy are they delicious. We are so happy we stopped to check this place out! With the added bonus of gorgeous views, I definitely recommend checking it out! Cards are accepted here for anyone wondering.
What a wonderful little restaurant. The food was delicious with big portion sizes. The waitress was a sweet young lady who we had a wonderful conversation with. We were pleasantly surprised to have some live music to enjoy while we ate. Best of all, they have a delicious assortment of pies. I opted for the strawberry rhubarb and it was amazing! If we lived closer we would definitely be back!
Everybody was extremely nice and we felt like we were at home even though we are miles and miles away from home. They made my son’s pancake into the shape of Mickey Mouse, which they didn’t need to do. Our food was amazing, the biscuits are homemade. We Ordered The clinch breakfast which came with a little bit of literally everything, and it filled us up, we couldn’t even finish our food, but it was amazing.
I am a regular here. Hands down some of the best food you can find anywhere near the area.If you are just passing through make sure to stop by and grab something to eat.Their whole menu is 10/10Fantastic views from every seat in the house.
