Great local place that's been there forever. Best onion rings I've ever had. Also fried chicken is the best. But you do have to call ahead since it takes a while to cook. Been eating here since 1972 and l'm almost addicted to the sweet tea. It's a great constant in this ever changing world This place is a Greenville tradition. This is a classic High School hangout. Regardless of where you're from you can get that Happy Days burger shop here. Hopefully it will be here another fifty years. read more

Very Friendly service.... Had a classic coney (chili)with mustard and onions .. they were very good . The onion rings had just the right amount of batter and were crispy. Would recommend this classic place to anyone looking for a quick bite. There is no longer a way to order with car hop service like decades ago . read more

Clock Drive-In - Coney and onion rings - Fast Food Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Food was excellent ! Cozy retro atmosphere and service was very friendly. A nice clean place!

So the name of this place is Clock drive in. It is not a drive-in. It is a diner. You have to get out of your car and go in. I sat there for 15 minutes waiting on someone to come take my order because there are menus out on the stalls that you have to park in. There is no sign that says hey get out of your car and come in this isn't a real drive-in it's just a diner. read more

I grew up eating here, I live in Florida and this is always my first stop. It brings back so many memories, and the food is fantastic! I love this place read more

Clock Drive-In - Burger and fries - Fast Food Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Small, local place with down to earth people. I ordered the hot dog with chili and it was quite tasty. My side was the onion rings. I enjoyed the onion rings but I wish they had more flavor in the batter, that's just a personal preference. Overall my food was yummy and I would gladly go again! Make sure you have cash or check because they do not take card payments. Highly recommend! read more

Great service, bring cash They don't take debt or credit cards The food is alway great read more

My childhood favorite! When you see that big blue clock on Pleasantburg Dr you know you are about to eat good! I've grown up eating at The Clock Drive In and never change what I order, chili cheeseburger, half n half plate and their sweet tea! Their is a lot of Clocks or Chili Cheeseburger Joints in the Greenville area but this place can't be beat, they have a special flavor and quality that outshines all the rest! The food is made to order which guarantees your food to be hot off the grid and fryer! There is nothing like that first bite of your food, it makes me go cross eyed it's so dang good lol! Don't leave without their sweet tea, it's out of this world! It's not fancy dining but it's the best burgers you'll ever have! It's so good my grandfather drives from Charleston, orders 20 chili dogs to take back and freeze so he can enjoy them anytime until he runs out! Don't pass this place by! read more

So good!!! The onion rings were old school..... delicious .Chili Cheeseburger was tender and juicy

This place is stuck in 1955. I wait 10 mins only to be told we don't take card cash or check only. There is no visible sign. The sign they do have you could not see because the door was open because the place has no working AC. They ask if I could bring it back(payment) uh no ma'am absolutely NOT you've already waisted my time. Get a card reader or close down. Ridiculous! read more

I first dined at The Clock at age 5 with my grandfather and uncle. When I visit Greenville, my first stop always is to see John and Gus and have dinner at The Clock. read more

This place is solid! The french fries were amazing, great hotdog and burgers. Cheap, and I highly recommend!

Best onion rings ever! We never have a bad meal at The Clock Drive In on Wade Hampton.

I realllllly wanted to like it because it's supposed to be a Greenville staple but God was it awful. The sweet tea is 100% the worst I've ever had and I'm from the south! The burger was okay, the fries were the only thing I liked. The slaw, ehh. This isn't a mom & pop shop I would go back to. It didn't feel like home and the food certainly was subpar. read more

I'm my job I've been fortunate to have traveled around the globe a few times. I love sampling local cuisine. I have yet to find a chili cheeseburger that can match the taste of The Clock. I can't explain it. Maybe it's the mustard. It could be the cheese. Or, could it be the beef or chili? All I know is that it's unbeatable. It looks like a normal burger, but the bold taste is to die for. I visit at least once or twice every time I'm in town. read more

Fantastic burgers with chili. I loved the fries as well. This is a very nice casual location which is great for a quick bite that is flavorful. The burgers are well seasoned and the management is very nice. We hope to be back soon! read more

They need to update their hours on social media , it sucks to go get something to eat and you can't because their site says they open at 10am but they don't. read more

A Greenville tradition! Everyone should try this place at least once. Good service. Diner food. Hot onion rings. And they put something in their slaw that just keeps people coming back. When you want that diner experience, this is the place to go in Greenville. read more

This is the second burger place I've had in Greenville since moving here in July, and I gotta say that it delivered less than I expected. Burger: nice, simple, cheap burger with plenty of meat. I mean, I'm a simply burger lover. I don't need all the fancy stuff on top to be happy. The only problem I had with it was that the one I had was a kinda underseasoned. I was hoping that by getting the chili burger I'd get that nice, deep chili flavor, but I didn't really get that. The chili was also a little drier than I had had in the past. The mustard and onions were the only source of seasoning I felt l had on that burger, and in that respect it was disappointing. The other things--meat to bun ratio, size, price, beef flavor--all great. I can't say it's a burger I'd return for, but it's definitely a burger I don't regret. Chicken Livers: This is a thing that I get at pretty much every place that puts it on their menu. It came with half and half fries and onion rings because my partner wanted to try them. The fry on all three items were good, but it's not my type of onion ring. Also the sauce that came with it was not great. It had this almost alcoholic flavor with a hint of smoke--maybe liquid smoke? And I'm not sure exactly what's in it that caused the flavor, but I didn't dig it and it didn't do the chicken livers or onion rings justice. The livers were the stars. This was the thing that I really liked about my meal. They were cooked really well and had a nice, soft texture, but the batter was crispy, not burnt. Slaw: I like this, even though it's a pretty standard slaw--other than the fact that there's a bit of cinnamon in it. I liked the cinnamon, because it made it a little bit unique. I ended putting it on my burger because I'm a Carolina child and love my burgers all the way. Overall, I'd probably stop by if it was on my way, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. I'd really put it at a 3.5 based on the food alone, but the nice, fine ice, the mom and pop atmosphere and the price really bumped it up for me. read more

Closes early consistently. Do not trust the hours. Pulled up all lights on and still cooking food with empty lobby and no one to help at 10:08. Says they close at 11:00 read more

Really great chili - CB. Old establishment, with a lot of tradition. I must have if in Greenville, SC.

This is the place when you have a hankering for a bacon cheeseburger half and half. Onion rings are the best around. I took my father there for his first time when he was in town and they bought our lunch. They notice his Navy Veteran hat and thanked him for his service. It was totally unexpected and much appreciated. read more

Not a lot of ambience in this little joint but the burger, fries and onion rings there were great. I got mine to go and was 15 or 20 minutes before I was able to sit down and eat and it was still delicious so I can only imagine how good it would've been had I been able to eat it fresh in the restaurant.....Next time. read more

Last minute decision to head out and grab a late night snack. Their cheeseburgers and pulled pork sandwiches are amazing. Staff was super kind and accommodating when we realized it was a cash/check only restaurant and let us enjoy our meal and run to the ATM after. Highly recommend this place and it's open until 11pm!! read more

Heard that this is a Greenville staple and decided to try. I was waiting for my order and had to leave I was so grossed out. The people were handling food, money and touching pens, paper, etc all at the same time. No hand washing. No gloves. Will not be back. read more

Clock Drive-In - Vidalia onion rings and fries - Fast Food Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

They do NOT use gloves nor hair nets. I watched my meal being cooked. Had no problems with my food...... but pretty sure a lot of cross contamination goes on. Also, saw the guy touch everything then food and gave to customer. He also touched the trashcan and back to touching food...... And who doesn't take cards ?!?! read more

I really enjoy going to little family owned diners such as this. Being a college student, there's not many times when I eat out, but I decided to treat myself yesterday, and go to the Clock Drive In. I had high expectations, as most family owned places are awesome. Boy was I wrong, I ordered the onion rings, they were soggy and lukewarm and none of them were the ring, just bits and pieces. And the beef in the burger felt really watery and was not filling at all. Overall, the experience (location, atmosphere, etc.) is great, but the food isn't. read more

This place has the best onion rings and grilled chicken sandwich anywhere! The onion rings are crisp and not too thick - just right! I don't think I can do the chicken sandwich justice...the chicken is juicy, tastes like it's been marinated in light spices...it's served with lettuce, tomato, mayo...delicious. Hotdogs are really good here too. Fries are just frozen crinkle cuts from a bag - but served up hot, they're still tasty. You order your food at the counter and they let you know when it's ready. You pay later. There are booths and spots at the counter. The guys behind the counter recognize you after a while. ( or maybe we just go there a LOT ! ) read more

Wanted to get a mom and pops burger and not a burger that taste like a fast food burger. Would pass this place all the time and me and my husband decided to stop. Best decision we made.... the burger I got was amazing oh my gosh I was also happy with the quality and presentation of the food. Since then I've been serval more times and same consistency. Luv this place read more

Had the chilli cheeseburger with fries. It was decent. I had high expectations though because of the reviews.... not bad but not great.

Owner always there and he is super respectful and kind..I always get a chili- chz burger fresh off da grill, and its always mouth watering and piping hot! So if you want good food, with a great, local, friendly staff....spend your hard earned coins here!!! read more

Any Greenville native knows of the 'Clock'. It used to be the hopping teenage spot in the late sixties and early seventies, being the hip place to go to see the boys and be seen. They used to have curb service, but stopped that years ago... Why? And yes, you go in to order and can take out or dine in and there's not one bad thing on the menu. My favorite is a half and half cheeseburger plate with 'REAL' Southern iced tea. You ask... What is a half and half plate? Sandwich of your choice, fried onion rings, french fries and slaw. Yummilicious! The best, absolute best cheeseburger in town, or anywhere for that matter. And, T.F. is right... If you dine there a lot, you are recognized by the staff and this is fast food, Greek dining that is so delicious, you'll think you died and went to Heaven! My second favorite sandwich there is their chili cheeseburger half and half plate with sweet tea. Check them out, you'll be glad you did! read more

Clock Drive-In - Yummy... Just add onions rings and a sweet tea and there you go! - Fast Food Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Small town feel diner, hamburger is good and has that ole time hamburger taste. The patty isn't super thick but the burger and toppings go well together. Crinkle type fries (nothing special, but always served fresh) the grilled chicken sandwich was good, they also included a few fries for free which was cool if you just want a taste of fries without the guilty feeling of eating them.. Overall a good quick burger joint with a lot of history to the area. CASH only read more
