Amazing restaurant to eat at.Be sure to make sure to book for reservations. It does get a little packed on the weekends or near a special occasion you might have. As you can see I finished off everything they served. Gumbo was good, but the chicken wasn’t shredded or chopped properly. Ribs were excellent seasoned fries were great. My wife had boneless ribs. They were fantastic. She finished those off, I also had a grilled salmon with bacon. It was amazing. My Caesar salad was fantastic. Crabcakes were great. Our waitress was amazing. We wanted to change seats. She had no problem with it changed our seats. We were very pleased, so far one of the best restaurants we ate at this year in Clayton.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Ordered the Clayton Classic with a fried egg and sweet potato fries. Order was above 80 dollars total. Never again! I’m writing because the they won’t pick up the phone. I got a patty that was obviously cooked frozen. It tasted horrible. Fried egg was just that and probably the only thing that came out ok. The sweet potato fries were just normal fries and not from a sweet potato and probably have a bunch of ingredients other than potato in them. I couldn’t even eat the burger but I had to eat the fries because I was hungry. Tried to call the restaurant but their automated system just keeps you on hold. The other orders were consistent with being messed up as well. I would give negative stars for the food if I could. I hope they have better service for dine in customers and that may keep the restaurant floating.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Our server Drew was PHENOMENAL!!! He was attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu. He made amazing recommendations, and they were all spot on. When you grow up in a seafood town, especially one that doesn't play around when it comes to anything crab related, that can make you a little hesitant on selecting a crab dish in other states. The crab dip paired with the Old Bay pita chips was a seafood lover's dream. The crab cake was delightful as well. Served with the fried green tomato and corn relish the flavors were just right. We had eaten over half of it by the time I took the picture. The waffle with the chicken and waffles served with moist chicken fried to perfection and the pork belly was incredible. The ribeye eggrolls were the best I've ever had. I found out about this place because I was given a gift card as a birthday gift. Needless to say, I will indeed be back. The service and the food were superior, and I can't wait to come back for more. Thank you Drew for a great experience!
