Reviews for McLean's Ole Time Cafe in Zebulon, NC
Place is clean and very big. Food is good but not quite there. Over medium eggs were very watery and sausage patty almost... required a jackhammer to cut it. Toast had no butter on it. Coffee was good and this place seemed to be only place in town,opened at 9 A.M. Place is hidden off the main drag and almost need to be a local to find it. Not at the top of list of places torevisit.

Delicious food and great service! The salad bar is expansive and fresh (and gloves are provided for sanitation purposes) and is... included with all entrees (or diners can opt for 2 vegetables or their choice). My husband had the hamburger steak slathered indelicious brown gravy and onions and I had the beef tips with rice. Each entree also came with quite literally THE BEST biscuitI have ever had in my entire life and hush puppies (also delicious). With two drinks, two entrees, and a slice of pineapplelayer cake (with a whipped icing instead of heavy Crisco icing), our check was under $40. We will definitely be back! Unrelatedto food: the atmosphere is really neat. There are several rocking chairs on the restaurant?s front porch and the dining room isspacious and did not feel crowded, even during peak dinner hours! *no food photos because we dug in immediately!

It was just ok... maybe because I got the Philly steak and cheese. They had a good onion ring appetizer and I did really like... the free basket of hushpuppies and biscuits. Yum! Service was super slow (sign on door warns of this) but waitress was verynice. Would go back and try something else. Read more
Looking for a great hidden gem with great food, this is the place to go. Place that has home cooked meal and the feeling like... you are part of the family. Everyone is very kind, helpful, food comes quick. Bathrooms are always very clean. Definitely my goto place for sure. Read more
Good service and great food. I originally thought the price for the turkey and dressing was slightly on the high side but for... the food you get and the quality, it was worth it. This place is 2 hrs from my house but I plan to come back?it was that good! Read more

I?ve lived in the area for a few... years now I?ve been wanting to go there but I haven?t had the opportunity. Food was great salad bar was awesome service wasoutstanding. We will definitely be returning customer and they also have a breakfast buffet on the weekends. Prices aredefinitely reasonable. Everything seem to be homemade. Read more
Used to come here all the time for breakfast growing up with my grandpa way back when it was across the street! Always has been... one of my favorite spots to eat breakfast especially the cheese grits. This place never disappoints. The staff is alwaysincredible and friendly. The food is amazing no matter what you order. Pork chops are my favorite too. 11/10 recommend. Read more
I've never had a bad meal or service at this place. I only wish I could make it there for breakfast one day. I hear it's just... as awesome as lunch/dinner. Sisco chicken has always been my go to dish...try it and you'll see why it's a fan favorite! Read more
