Straightaway Cafe - Black Mountain

Great place! The atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff is very friendly. I would rate the food a 4, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a perfect 5.

What a fantastic place! Just a few miles outside of Black Mountain, over the continental divide, it feels like you’ve traveled a hundred miles into the countryside. The drive is incredibly easy. There’s a charming little stage where Shaggy and Susie were performing, and they are amazing! Be sure to grab a table outside and place your order at the bar inside. I’ve had my share of nachos, but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered them topped with fried chicken strips before. They were absolutely delicious! The beer selection is great, the service is friendly, the music is wonderful, and the atmosphere is unbeatable.
