Was Olivia Ensley at Cullowhee Cafe a mag?
The food here is wonderfully prepared, reminiscent of home cooking, and the staff is incredibly friendly. My family has been dining at this café since the 1960s, and we have consistently enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The meals are always fantastic! View all feedback.

What dawn misner dislikes about Cullowhee Cafe:
The restaurant has been closed for about a month to a month and a half. While some of their prices were reasonable, the cost of a chuckwagon sandwich was $5.50 just for the sandwich alone. At other places, I can get a chuckwagon sandwich along with fries and a drink for only $6.00. View all feedback.

I drove all the way there only to find that it's no longer open, but there's no indication of this online.

The sandwiches are quite good, the fries are excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is exceptional. Overall, a lovely restaurant.

As long as the updates at Old Cullowhee continue, this restaurant is here to stay. You might occasionally encounter an older crowd that feels a bit like bingo night, but the staff and the food are truly outstanding. It's the perfect spot for a hearty, home-cooked meal. I hope to sample their breakfast soon, but for now, I can vouch for their amazing lunch and dinner options. The only thing I would suggest is adding an alcohol menu. The referendum has taken place, and it looks like it's here to stay!

Honestly, Id love to give a better rating, but the business hours kill it! I usually take my kids to CC once a week for some major comfort food dinner. Alas, yesterday was our day. Pulled into the parking lot and found a sign posted on the door that read close at 3:00 . What? Since when? My daughter then reminded me why I stopped going there long ago-because their business hours are consistently inconsistent and I had encountered this problem many times before. I had forgotten. So, again we will patronize the restaurants who are consistent with how businesses are run. Im sorry Cullowhee Café. Yummy comfort food, lousy unbusinesslike hours!
