Straightaway Cafe - Black Mountain

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

This is a great spot to grab a burger while you're out on a Sunday drive! Or any day actually. It's a long-standing pit stop for motorcycles out cruising route 9, and the addition of the stage has made it a destination on weekend evenings. Don't just drive by!

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!!!

Such a great place! Only a handful of miles outside of Black Mountain over the continental divide but it feels like a hundred miles away in the country. It's such an easy drive.A nice little stage Shaggy and Susie were playing and they're fantastic!Grab a table outside and order at the bar inside. I've eaten my fair share of nachos, but I don't think I've ever had them with fried chicken strips. So, so good.Great beer selection, friendly service, wonderful music and unbeatable atmosphere.

This place is great. Just a little off the beaten path but worth the experience. They have really good burgers and of course the loaded tots with pork bbq are slamming.
