Jones Cafe is a small town relic. It looked like home to all the regulars and staff. The inside literally felt like a capsule from the past. Known for their continuation of the red hot dogs. -- I ordered a chili dog with slaw and chicken fingers with fries. Chili hot dog was everything I was hoping for and everything all together was just under $11. It was a relief to have an economic meal on our road trip. Kinda awesome to see a wide range of generations inside enjoying their meals. I hope to see Jones Cafe continue to serve the generations to come.
First time diner and I tell you I WILL BE BACK! Got there early for breakfast and was in and out with a full belly in no time. The French toast was delicious.
This place is a gem. Some of the best hot dogs I've ever had. Food taste like mom cooked it. Busy but efficient. Friendly staff and good prices. Easily one of the best restaurants in downtown clayton.
Excellent 🌭HOTDOGS 🌭If you want a hotdog experience, this is your place. Steamed bun, homemade slaw, Carolina Packer hotdogs, and great chilli🌭 Staff was delightful, plenty of seating, reasonably priced, and great food. This place is an institution and a must visit if you are in the area! Highly recommend 🌟 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭
Super friendly and cozy diner with tasty food and great prices! We loved the atmosphere and the food was great. My husband had the smoked sausage dog and I had the double cheeseburger deluxe. We both shared a large chili cheese fries. Everything was fantastic and service was friendly. If we're ever in the area again we'll be back!
I have lived in Clayton for over 13 years and I have never been in Jones Cafe. I learned a lot today. The restaurant is bigger than I thought. You can park in the back(didn’t know that). The food is good. The prices are fantastic and service is outstanding! Jones Cafe is Precious Clayton landmark. Pleasantly impressed!
We're regulars here & recognize Jones' for exactly what it is; a classic, family owned local staple with delicious southern fare & unbeatable service to match. It's such a blessing & a joy to share with my daughter the same favorite breakfast & lunch spot that I have enjoyed since I was a kid. Now, she loves to wake us up on Saturday morning & ask if we can go see Miss Monica & Miss Crystal for breakfast. Best pancakes in town & we'll be back for more, I'm sure!
Stumbled upon this place, very happy we did. Amazing food at a great price. Staff extremely nice and attentive. They took great care of us.
I was craving a pancake for 2 days and found this hidden gem. I ordered take out but I must say Taylor my server was friendly and pleasant. The coffee and pancake 🥞 exceeded my expectations 😋!!!. I will definitely go back and try other menu items
Update: Good day today. Early lunch with a brightleaf hotdog all the way and a cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato and onion and pickles. All cooked to order. My family got a beef hotdog with slaw and CHILI CHEESE FRIES with lots of chili and cheese. Previous: Great as always. Great value for price. Definitely a local recommendation and locally-owned. Southern hospitality. Huge pancakes. Wonderful service. The hashbrowns with grilled onions was excellent. Breakfast or lunch you can't go wrong.
