Straightaway Cafe

This used to be such a great, pub style restaurant/bar. I believe it has closed now but no wonder. Everything with character was taken out, everything painted a generic white, not worth making the trip out from Black Mountain.

Great out of the way place. Small menu , but great food!

Honestly wouldn’t change a thing. Super quaint little hideaway with a beautiful view. Food was stellar. People were nice. Absolutely loved it.

Great place. First visit. We went for a small live performance. The food was great and very reasonably priced. The staff was welcoming and professional. Don't hesitate to stop and visit!

Passing this mom pop for the past 3 years off Hwy 9 in Black Mountain. It is rustic and doesn't look like much, but do yourself a favor and STOP HERE!!! The driveway is a little rough and needs grading, but you will be so happy you went. The view and ambiance are totally worth it! Get your favorite beer or adult beverage at the bar inside or the walk-up window. Live bands on Thurs- Sun. There's a schedule on the wall. We ordered a classic burger and their special burger, which was the Bacon Swiss. The gun was nicely toasted, bacon crispy hot. There was a Pico and Avocado with crispy lettuce, Jalapeños and not so thick Swiss, which is attention to detail as it changes flavor if it's too thick. The meat was local Hickory Nut Gap, and it was not overseasoned. It was cooked perfectly. I wasn't that hungry, but I was NOT leaving a piece of this burger behind. It's a large burger well.worth the money. The fries were fragrant and crispy with a Cajun seasoning. The classic cheeseburger had the same phenomenal patty with crispy lettuce, tomato, and onion but a special sauce that I literally liked off my fingers. New favorite place for burgers!!! Clean place. Nice friendly staff. Thank you, and we WILL SEE YOU SOON!!!
