Two things I want to highlight about my visit here on 7/17…read more First, we arrived very late after my sons' performance for the town in 100 degree heat. We were both overheated and hungry. The dining room was closed but, after speaking to the workers and manager, they let us stay and gave us great service. Most restaurants probably would not have accommodate us and we were grateful for the hospitality. Second, the pizza was fantastic. We got a large with half sausage and it looked and tasted like the pizza I grew up on in NJ. I look forward to going back and trying more offerings in the future.

We ended up at Venero's after our original plans didn't work out. Parking was a challenge but we…read moreeventually found a spot. Surprisingly, we were immediately seated. The rather generic interior seemed like it had been remodeled not too long ago. The restaurant was moderately noisy, but we were able to speak without raising our voices. For some reason we both ended up ordering spaghetti with meat sauce but when our meals arrived we both received spaghetti with meat balls. Instead of just replacing our meals, the server provided two bowls of meat sauce that we spooned over the tomato sauce. It was OK at best, but honestly I've had much worse. My spaghetti was too al dente for my taste, but it wasn't underdone enough to send back. Our meal came with a delicious garlic knot which had clearly come hot out of the oven. We split a "brownie delight" for dessert, which came out as a brownie on a plate along with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. If the brownie had been warm, it would have been very nice, but as served it was OK at best. Our server kept our drinks topped off, but between serving us the wrong meal, and then not replacing it, the service also gets an OK at best too. All in all, Venero's rates an OK at best. We won't be in a rush to return any time soon.

They have charcuterie boards that are ready to go or you can order them to your liking and pick them up. They have a small selection of beer and wines to enjoy with their meats and cheeses. There's also a fridge with grab and go options such as the spicy restaurant-style salsa and spicy pimento cheese. Both were fantastic when I sampled them at home. This business is another unique one that downtown Clayton has going for it. They even offer catering services to boot. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.

Great hidden gem in Clayton!…read more I randomly found Skylines on Yelp when trying to find a new place to eat in the are and I'm glad I did. Good drinks, good food, and good service. Skylines is located in a "shopping center" type of area with a variety of other restaurants and businesses and a shared parking lot. I've been to Skylines for lunch, dinner, and brunch, and I've been pleased with my meal every time! There's a small bar area, as well as plenty of other tables and booths throughout. Not a lot of places in the area offer lunch specials and brunch menus, so I'm glad they do. The food is always fresh! I especially enjoy their artichoke dip appetizer as well!

The booths are a vibe all by themselves, it's as though you are in a cave. Our waiter was friendly and gave excellent recommendations. Around the table we ordered: two orders of the French Toast(AMAZING), two sides of scrambled eggs and the one side of bacon and then a side of pork belly. I ordered the Lomo Saltado(DELICIOUS) w/ an over easy egg on top. I also ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte (hot) it was meh until I asked our waiter for a sweetener, he gave me a vanilla & caramel syrup and that was JUST what it needed. I will say we did have a bit of a wait for our food due to them having an inspection but it was worth it!!! We also ended up getting desserts, the Tres Leche, Goat Chz Cheesecake (it's an acquired taste but I really enjoyed it) and Bread Pudding. Haven't tried the other 2 desserts yet but will update once we do. If ever in the area give them a try. I'm sure I will be back to try other menu items.

Lovely and cute bistro with lots of boba and drink options!…read more I live right across the street, so the location is perfect for me. This bistro is located in the same shopping center as the Food Lion and Hwy 55. There aren't a lot of parking spots right in front of Boba Beans, but there's plenty right on the other side near Food Lion. This is a great place to grab and go or stay for a while. I've come a few times to work while waiting for my car inspection next door or when I just needed to get out of the house since I work from home. There are plenty of tables and chairs throughout and even some couches if you'd like something more comfortable. I don't like tea or coffee much, so I can't give a review on those, but they have a Citrus Refresher with boba that is absolutely delicious! I always get that when I go. They've recently changed their food menu a bit, so I'm not sure what is best, but I've also always enjoyed the food there as well. It's made fresh to order in-house. My favorite thing about Boba Beans is that they have staff of ALL abilities. I absolutely love seeing how the staff provides opportunities for people with a variety of disabilities. That's what made me fall in love with it! Not a lot of establishments will give people a chance, but it's great to see this happening here! Highly recommend it if you're in the area!

I ordered a Cranberry Pomegranate tea with mango syrup and tapioca pearls using the self-serve kiosk, which was quick and easy. While waiting, I looked around and was really impressed by the space. There are plenty of seating options, a play area for kids, and two fun photo-op walls. I'll definitely be back with my family to try more drinks and check out the food menu as well.

Pleasantly surprised!…read more First, I'm upset with myself for driving by this place so many times. It's unassuming. I guess I thought it would be an average old sub shop. I've never been so wrong. Let's start with the fries: golden (but not too golden), crispy, seasoned well, everything I want in a fry. We got Phillies, St. George doesn't over complicate them like many places do, and the bread? The bread is so soft and delicious. Amazing sandwich. Service is friendly and really seems to care about their product. It seems that's getting harder to find as time goes on. So good! Don't underestimate this place, you'll be missing out.

Instead, you get a generous amount of sides, including a poorly paired Southwest corn that tasted old and honestly should not have been served. One other concern: I was dining with someone who is gluten-free, and the waitress insisted that their French fries are not battered. However, they looked suspiciously like they had some type of coating on them, so we decided not to take the chance. Service was pretty good. The ambience is casual, but the place is in need of a major renovation, especially if they're trying to attract a more upscale clientele. To top it off, a credit-card surcharge was added to our bill, which was disappointing and felt unnecessary. Overall, the food had potential, but the price, presentation, and some of the details left something to be desired.

The parking situation is interesting, there are a few spots behind/besides the building, curb parking in front, and then a dirt area that it doesn't look like you can park in, but people do. The food is consistently good. I've had their salads, sandwiches, pizza and a few dinner specials. They also usually have several seasonal cocktails. Inside, you seat yourself and someone greets you quickly. Outside, I think they want you to make contact with a server first, and then sit down. Everyone I've encountered here has been very nice and service is quick. I make a point to stop in when in the area.
