    This is such a great place to grab a good wholesome breakfast, lunch or dinner. They have daily specials and an 8.99 lunch menu. The staff were very friendly and quick to turn tables for waiting customers. Food came out quick and very tasteful. It's definitely one of my favorites!

    This is my first time here but it won't be the last. They have something for everyone on the menu. There are specials on the board as you walk in and everyday specials on the menu! We were seated right away and our waitress came by very promptly w menus in hand and ready to take our order. Since we had just been seated we both needed time to read all the selections on the extensive menu. I noted that they serve breakfast all day as well as lunch and dinner. We were served promptly and the orders were correct even with substitutions asked for. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. She was very good at remembering how we wanted our orders and even asked us if any of the items were to come first or after our main dishes. She also made sure to refill our coffee and water quickly. The food was a good helping, cooked perfectly and still hot and fresh. I had a cheese omelette that came w hashbrowns, sausage and toast. I wanted a waffle so I decided to try the one with warm blueberry syrup and whipped cream. Yum. My friend ordered a turkey club sandwich w fries. It looked like a large portion, no complaints on that either. There are plenty of tables and some booths in the spacious dining room. No one rushes you there so if you wanna read a paper or catch up with a friend this is a nice place to do that.

    1/2 fried chicken, over baked potatoes,  and cucumber salad.

    The cucumber salad was a little oily, but still good. The fried chicken was almost as good as my Mama's! Yhe potatoes were perfectly flavored. Made 2 meals out of it, so cost effective as well! Would recommend this restaurant to anyone!!

    I've been eating at this little restaurant for as long as I can remember. The staff here are always the sweetest and everything I've ever ordered off the menu is absolutely amazing. They offer breakfast all day long and they also have daily specials. No matter what you order from this place you will not be disappointed!!

    Quickly seated during lunchtime, waitress addressed me quickly and got order fast. Chicken pan pie was good and filling, Mac and cheese was as expected and corn was good and not overly cooked or seasoned.

    This quintessential neighborhood diner has been in business since 1977 when it was opened in this location by Gus Tsatsaronis, who immigrated from Greece 3 years earlier. There have been several expansions of the facilities, but the essence of the diner has remained the same - serve genuine home-cooked food 3 meals a day! The fare offered here is predominantly classic Southern with a few Italian dishes, and reflecting Gus' heritage, a few Greek specialties - Gyro, Chicken and Pork Souvlaki, Greek style Spaghetti, and the headliner, well marinated Greek Chicken (a Wednesday special, 1/2 chicken, 2 sides, for $9.90). The menu here is broad, and there seems to be value everywhere on it. The Breakfast Special is $7.55 - 2 eggs (you can request a 3rd egg at NO CHARGE), bacon (you can request it to be crispy), choice of Grits, Gravy, Home Fries, or Hashbrowns, and Toast or Biscuit. The Daily Specials offer real value as indicated by the Greek Chicken mentioned above, there are plenty more to choose from. The Fried Chicken here is as good, and as Southern, as it gets - very well-seasoned, and cooked to order, so it will take 20 minutes or so, and they will tell you that. They also have both a Senior Citizens and a Kid's menu with even more savings. This place is popular and was even visited by UNC TV food critic Bob Garner in May 2017, resulting in his seal of approval. The service is as good as the food, with a host of long-time wait staff available.

    We had some errands to run and finally stopped into Clemmons Kitchen for breakfast. We were seated right away and provided menus. Our drink orders were also taken. The menu has a good variety of items to chose from and the prices are very reasonable. My wife decided on the meat lovers omelet with a side of gravy and biscuit. I chose the hamburger steak with home fries and toast. We also ordered a side of link sausage to share. Our server was very friendly and welcoming as well. Our food arrived in a timely manner and looked great. We each enjoyed our meals. My wife commented that her omelet was very good and there was a generous amount of filling. She didn't care for the biscuit and felt it lacked flavor. I enjoyed my hamburger steak and home fries and the sausage and toast were great as well. My wife visited the restroom and reported that it was clean and well maintained.

    A charming local spot that is definitely beloved by the community. The staff is extremely friendly and kind. They were attentive and had suggestions for us to try. In the end we just stuck with good old breakfast. The menu was pretty extensive for a local diner sort of spot and I know we will be back to try more stuff. The dining room is open and bright. The food was good and came out fast and was very reasonably priced! All in all a great place to grab breakfast!

    You could tell by all the people crowding both outside and waiting inside that Clemmons Kitchen was very popular with locals. We waited for 15 minutes at 1PM on Sunday, mind you they close at 2PM. But I would say that it was worth it. Being that we are recently from SoCal, we kind of stuck out a little bit among the locals I think, but were greeted warmly by both the patrons and the employees. We sat down at the 15 minute mark and were promptly waited on by a very friendly server who I didn't get the name of, but she was happy to share her excellent opinions of the food choices. I chose the Reuben, but she quickly pointed out that it was served with mustard and not Thousand Island dressing (not really a Reuben, but more of a corn beef sandwich), but I'll play along. The food came quickly and was hot and the sandwich was full of corn beef, sauerkraut and yes, mustard and not dressing. The fries were very crisp and tasty as well and I enjoyed both very much. I was happy with the lunch and the food and service.

    UPDATE: While I feel overall Clemmons Kitchen is around 3.5 stars from all my visits, lately they have been leaning towards 4 stars with past 3 star visits taken in consideration. The main factor is the food...as far as local diner type food expectations, they are pretty good. Their hamburger steak is a solid entry (recently got a 10 oz hamburger steak $8.99 dinner special with mushroom gravy that really had great hamburger taste), their fried chicken sandwich as well as their chicken tenders either fried or grilled are good choices, and a good cheeseburger with an order of crunchy golden fries can be found here as well. Service can be for the most part nice and helpful...while rarely I have had some less attentive servers, it is not the norm here. My most recent visits really have been better than those in the far past so even though I get that 3.5 star feeling here, I can go with rounding up to 4 stars with some pretty tasty diner type food and friendly service for the most part with recent experiences.

    This place is pretty straight forward! A southern diner with a huge menu of sandwiches, cold plates, hot plates and breakfast. Came here for a late lunch on a Saturday and didn't have to wait to be seated. Service was quick and friendly. I decided on a chicken salad plate that came with potato salad. It was very good. The chicken salad had a lot of pickles to it if you like sweet relish in yours you will love it. The real star to this however was the potato salad! Love how the mayo and mustard was a perfect ratio and how the potato's are cut finely. Not pictured was the vegetable plate my mom got. The yam soufflé was sooo good and the cucumber salad had a perfect vinegar to oil ratio. Will likely come back to try breakfast or another meal on their extensive menu!

    Same with green beans.

    For a birthday dinner, I love a good steakhouse but wanted to try something new away from my usual…read morespots, and my wife suggested Spotted Cow. When we first walked in, it was busy and we heard the hostess tell the couple in front of us they would need to wait over an hour for a table - Lucky for me my wife made reservations and we were seated immediately! It was a bit on the noisy side but not so bad we couldn't have a conversation. Our servers, Thomas, was fantastic start to finish with good recommendations, attentive service without being overbearing, and a great personality. Good staff make a business shine! We started with glasses of wine and were impressed with how generous they poured. Perhaps it was a visual illusion, but they felt like very large glasses of wine and made it feel like a very good value. They have a good selection of wines to choose from along with a full bar. Appetizer was the Crab Cake Egg Rolls, something I don't think I've seen anywhere else. They're cooked in Beef Tallow which gave a very savory flavor and crispy texture. They were a bit on the oily side but overall flavor was delicious, and I really liked the dipping sauce which was like a very herb-heavy tartar sauce. For entrees, my wife had the Filet and I had a New York Strip. I don't have the words to describe how delicious and perfectly prepared both of these were. I didn't even bother asking for steak sauce because the perfectly tender and seasoned steak didn't need it. Nobody wants to pay high prices for a steak and receive something low quality, and I was thrilled with the quality of the steaks here. Surrounding tables likewise had great looking meals and I overheard them voicing pleasure too. As sides go, the baked potatoes and salads were excellent too. I got the hot bacon vinegarette dressing and was surprised it was actually served quite hot. It had a really rich and slightly tangy flavor that was unique and I really enjoyed on my salad. I have no complaints here and will absolutely be back. Of course it's on the pricey end, but this is the type of establishment you reserve for a special night out, not your average Tuesday night. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!

    Really enjoyed our time here. The patio is adorable and we had perfect weather, which honestly made…read morethe whole outing. Food was good -- not life-changing, but tasty and worth the visit. To be fair none of us ordered steak... at a steakhouse, so that could have been our issue. Our server was really friendly and attentive. We did have a small mishap and one friend's meal was forgotten and came out late, but the atmosphere was so pleasant and we were enjoying chatting so it was easy to overlook. Don't leave without ordering the cream corn. Just trust us.

An open, high ceiling interior with a short bar. The host station is center as you walk in the door, with the cash register at the front. It can be ridiculously busy and over crowded on most weekends and at peak times during holidays, with over half an hour wait times. I tend to avoid those times, and its a relaxed and enjoyable breakfast brunch place. On any given Monday through Friday after 10.30-11ish, you can walk right in and sit. Good omelettes, along with bowls and the menu has a nice variety of breakfast brunch options. Our servers each visit have always been kind and friendly. My last time in, ordered an omelette with fruit the Chili Chorizo and it was very good. A solid choice. A well made omelette loaded with roasted onions, chorizo, avo and cheeses, topped with diced green chili. Before that, the farmstand breakfast tacos also a solid choice. Three well prepared tacos with a side black beans, fresh avocado and pico with scrambled eggs, chicken, and chorizo. Their breakfast donuts, when available are a treat all on their own. Another cool part of this eatery, they juice daily. We always grab a juice with our coffee and meal, My preference has been the Morning Meditation, orange, lemon and tumeric, with ginger, agave nectaa and beet. Its a turbo charged OJ. 4 Stars a solid choice for a good meal 01156
