    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.

    Nice Breakfast

    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.

    Saturday Special of Country Fried Steak.

    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.

    First Watch in Clemmons will ALWAYS be one of my favorite places to stop in for breakfast. The food…read moreis always so good and so fresh. I ordered the Bacado Omelet with a side of the Million dollar potatoes and toast paired with a purple haze to drink. However, I left a 3 start review because the service was not very good at all the day me and my friend visited here the restaurant was not very busy at all and there seemed to be a lot of staff working that day so there really was no excuse. Our waitress did not check on us one single time after giving us our food.

    One of the best breakfast places around the area. We have eaten here a few times now, this is a…read morebreakfast brunch joint so it closes early, 2:30. 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

    Bottom line: Honestly, I want 3.5 stars given here. The decor and seating area is looking like it…read morecould benefit from some attention. Service was adequate for the most part here. My hamburger steak and the biscuits were very good this time even though my broccoli side was lacking, Dad enjoyed his pancakes and particularly his fried eggs as well. Going with 4 stars but only because the visit deserves more than 3 stars for some of the food, again really want to go with 3.5 stars if I could. The Deets: When visiting the folks for the Father's Day weekend, Dad said he wanted to head by Cracker Barrel and get some pancakes for a late brunch so we stopped the nearest one over in Clemmons. It's been years since I visited this location, and honestly, really nothing much has changed from what I remember. It is the same basic formula with the country store area as you enter and then you go to the host desk to the side for the dining area. Luckily since we were stopping by a bit later even for a lunch, the crowd had left for the most part and we were seated promptly. Again, everything in the seating area is the same and could really use some TLC (lots of dust on the ceiling fans, more than a rustic type of appearance that could use a refresh, etc.) Our server was very nice in letting us having a few extra minutes to take in both the breakfast and lunch/dinner menus so we could decided what we wanted to go with today. Dad stuck with his pancakes, adding fried eggs and sausage. Mom got the Old Timers Breakfast menu selection, and I decided on the hamburger steak with two sides of steak fries/steamed broccoli. I enjoyed my coffee as we waited for our meals. Once they arrived, Dad really enjoyed his pancakes and particularly complimented the fried eggs. Mom was OK with her breakfast, nothing extraordinary or bad noted from her. My hamburger steak was really good, not dried out and plenty of flavor, I enjoyed it. My mother and I really liked the biscuits, baked just right. Steak fries were OK, but there were a good number of them extra greasy though. My steamed broccoli was cooked just a bit too long, not very much crunch left to it and pretty bland (Mom tasted and agreed with the latter). I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars for this visit, I really wish I could give 3.5 stars here. In looking at everything, I really think in the long run they deserve more than 3 stars with the good hamburger steak and biscuits as well as Dad really enjoying his pancakes/fried eggs so I will go with 4 stars, just knowing I feel like 3.5 stars honestly.

    Melissa D took wonderful care of us. We were seated quickly and our drink order was asked for right…read moreaway. My iced tea never got empty. The food is good ole home cooking with Lima beans swimming in butter. I had the grilled chicken salad and cup of chicken noodle soup, while hubby had hammer steak with grilled onions, brown gravy, rice and those Lima beans. The atmosphere is always the same for any Cracker Barrel. Interesting that the antiques decorating these restaurants have been procured by professional pickers shopping yard sales, estate sales, and thru collectors.
