Universal Joint

Everyone was very nice but it took us 45 minutes to get our meal and then it wasn’t hot. Expected a lot more after reading the reviews. Will probably be a first and last visit!

Nice setting. Repurposed gas station. Great food. Stacy, the waitress, made up for something of a rude welcome by a waiter. Plan to return when it’s warmer (outside seating).

Everybody loves this place — and for good reason. It’s bar food and the menu is somewhat limited to burgers and sammies, but boy, is the food tasty!
I love the variety of ways that you can have your burger or grilled chicken. I had mine with Swiss cheese and mushrooms. An awesome taste.
Service is quick and pleasant. The bar area is integrated into the rest of the restaurant so the vibe is noisy and happy. We love to come here when we visit Clayton.

This place is really cool. They have outside seating and live music on a stage. The food was delicious and the service was great. The pricing is not expensive and you get more for your money. I will be definitely coming back here again.

Great Burgers in a surprisingly hip place for a small town. Speciality beers on tap as well as your favorites bottled. Fair prices and great quality foods.
Very little inside seating and single stall bathrooms.
Kid friendly until certain hours and this is very well marked with signage. I also liked that it is pet friendly in the outside patio seating area. Server even brought out water for the pup next to us.

During my visit to Tennessee, I stopped in Clayton GA to have some lunch. When I was walking along the sidewalks of this cool old town, I ran into this Universal Joint restaurant. This place used to be a gas station, type Back to the future movie during the 60s, I guess.
They had a nice selection of beers. I asked for a nice IPA and they recommended:
— Two hearted Ale from Bell’ s Brewery Inc. Beer advocate rates it at 95%. Another website,
says that
named this beer the best IPA in the world. Try it. You will decide if this is true or not.
I had with my beer, Pork Tacos, «house-​smoked pork with BBQ sauce, slaw & fried onions. They came with chips and sauce. They were really good. The southern taco style was present. I enjoyed better the Mexican style with cilantro and lime, but I was not at a Mexican restaurant, I was in Clayton, GA.
The environment is great, I had my lunch at the patio during a beautiful fresh and sunny day. Servers were very helpful and nice overall. I enjoyed my time here.
