Food is delicious, second time here, drove an hour just to eat some banana French toast, only thing is service, it could use some improvement.

Love the Rusty Bike. So popular there's always a line waiting. You have to try their patty melt, it's delicious.

Excellent breakfast served here, friendly and great service. I haven't tried lunch yet but next time I'm in town I will since breakfast is so good. They serve up quality food too, it's not cheap processed garbage. The bacon is thick cut and cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast.

I have no photos for this experience soley because I was that unimpressed with the quality.

We came to this place based on the reviews & sadly I was disappointed.

The coffee was very watery & the food we ordered was very basic.

The staff was very nice, respectful & accomodating. That is the only reason I am giving a 2 stars because the service was the only thing that was good.

Other than the service, I would not recommend this place & will not be returning for their food.

Excellent breakfast! Finally a chicken fried steak that doesn't taste frozen or like old oil. Food was super tasty, cheap and fast. Would be happy to return anytime.

There's a special place in my heart for good atmosphere with cheap and quality breakfast! This place hits all those points. Local favorite with lots of locals dropping in. Gets busy pretty quickly. Make sure to show up before 1030 for breakfast.

Outstanding! The breakfast is awesome. I highly recommend The FMC. Staff is nice and you can’t beat this place for breakfast. Freshly made, hot and large portion sizes. We can’t wait to visit again. If you ride, then it’s even better. Harley pics and bike decor everywhere.

We were staying in the area and asked about a place that had good biscuits and gravy and Rusty Bike Cafe was recommended. We went in early and while it was busy, we were seated right away. I had to try the banana bread french toast. A single order would have been plenty. It was thick and sweet and good enough. The bananas were perfectly ripe and fresh, the pecans not as fresh and the "praline sauce" was basic syrup. My husband got the unicycle, which had an egg and hashbrowns along with a biscuit and gravy. He found his breakfast just mediocre. The hashbrowns had a slightly funny taste

The place Is ALWAYS crowded. That should tell you how good the food is! I got the banana bread French toast and oat meal and my boyfriend got the skillet hash and coffee. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. The quantity, well, it's an American breakfast place. We couldn't finish it, lol.

We love this place!!! Everything is delicious AND you can order lunch for breakfast if that's your thang. Servers are awesome and take care of all your needs.
If you don't mind eating in close quarters check this place out they're definitely a "10" in my book.

Went there based on Yelp reviews. I ordered cheeseburger with fries. The burger was perfectly cooked to order and had a great flavor. The fries were crispy and the seasoning was good. The food arrived quickly and the prices were a bargain.

We were visiting the area, this place had good reviews. The good reviews were right!

Would recommend the Banana Bread French Toast, with a cup of coffee. It's so delicious, good ole comfort food. The service was great, very friendly. Well worth the wait.

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

Not a good experience. Could hardly get waited on. Not the friendliest, maybe it was just today but with all the good reviews we thought it's gotta be great. Wish it was a better experience. The food was good but not amazing.

Looked to be a local favorite as well The staff was great.. the prices very reasonable. The food was excellent!!! Delicious and quickly served. I had the Shovelhead burrito with hash browns .... delicious!!

Drove up from Franklin on Sunday morning for brunch. Was greeted with a 30 minute wait time. Once inside it was hopping. Bike memorabilia was all over the place. Our waitress came soon enough and the wife and I settled on the #2 The Gear Shifter. Did not take link for food to arrive. Eggs were farm fresh, bacon, ham and sausage was very good. I’d say pancake and hash browns were just ok. Pancake a bit chewy and hash browns somewhat under cooked to my liking. But we enjoyed it and glad we made the drive.

Food is always consistent ..best breakfast in Georgia! Try it all. Get the biscuits with Rusty Bike Grape Jelly. They sell it by the jar. Omelets will not disappoint.

Best Tuna Melt ever ..get it on Rye. And the service is unbelievable. Professionals and super enthusiastic.

The owner, Joel is a patriot and seasoned pro with high quality standards... but be prepared to wait. Trust us.. it is worth the wait!

Enjoy.

Our group of five loved this place. This will be a simple review. It took 15-20 minute to get seated due to long lines. Once we were inn, our waitress was very friendly. As for food recommendations, order the banana french toast. It was the best banana french toast everyone had ever. All you heard was silence while we ate...that's how we always tell when it's good! If you are in town, stop by for brunch.

Stopped in for breakfast while on a small family vacation in the area. There was a bit of a wait, but given that it was 10am, that is to be expected. I think we waited about 15 minutes and then were seated. Service was friendly and our orders were taken quickly. The food was great and I really enjoyed our stay. The only reason they're getting four stars instead of five is because not one person who worked there was wearing a mask. We're still unfortunately in a pandemic, and everyone's health should be a concern, regardless of age or political affiliation.

My family and I stopped in on our way home to Miami. I must say the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Even for being busy. It is nice to see regulars because you know the food and service is good! I was not disappointed and we left very satisfied by our meal and the service provided.

Thank you for an excellent home cooked meal!

This is a very successful, and very popular, local restaurant.

The Chef/Owner has developed a superb menu. Check out the Banana Bread French Toast, or the sandwiches served on pineapple-flavored bread. Good God, Y'all!!

They're only serving breakfast and lunch, so make sure you get there in a timely fashion.

You may have a bit of a wait, but All Good Things Come To Those Who Wait.
