    Fried Chicken with Green Beans and Fried Okra
    Jim R.

    Always great portions from the Clock. Green beans and okra were spot on. Okra was perfectly fried and hot on the table. The chicken was a dry and I thought needed salt in the fry batter. Over all I was satisfied and would order again because that's not typical. Our server was wonderful as always. Service is always good when we go.

    Terrible lettuce and egg oozing grease

    Friday May 16, 2025. 6:15pm Horrible experience. Overly greasy chili cheeseburger with grease pooling on the plate. Slaw tasted old. The egg on the hand and egg sandwich was cooked very dark and grease came out of the egg onto hands. The lettuce had a chemical taste. Instant potatoes not good. The green beans had raw bacon in it. Not cooked crisp and had a tin can taste. And our waitress repeated our order back to us and had it wrong because she wasn't paying us any attention. No refill on drink for me and it sat on the side of the table for 18 minutes. Tall blond Waitress nowhere to be found. Husband gets up and gets me a refill and was questioned by a worker behind the counter when he got the refill himself. We quit eating and paid. Husband complained at register and owner John, had a hateful attitude. Did not offer to make things right. Prices have went up here by a lot and food quality has gone down. Heard a complaint from another table about their food as well. We will not be back. Posted pictures on another platform.

    The Clock burger
    Sue F.

    When was the last time you had a burger where you had to wash your hands after eating it? The Clock is that kind of place. As we were being seated, we saw the size of the plates and decided we better split our meal - we still had 300 miles to drive and didn't need to be uncomfortable doing it. We ordered the the Clock burger - 1/2 lb of dripping juicy goodness topped with American, crispy bacon, tons of grilled onions and the usual stuff. It was AMAZING! We also ordered a side of fries - while these crinkles filled up more than half of the platter, they really could have used a little more time in the frier. They were super fresh, burn your mouth hot but definitely undercooked. The meal was rounded out with a small cup of tasty, creamy slaw. I saw some onion rings pass by which looked awesome - that would probably have been a better choice, but then again, we were all about comfort today. Right by the door was a case of desserts, cheesecakes, pies and cakes, that looked equally amazing but even with splitting our meal, we were too stuffed to partake. I also saw a plate of fried chicken go by - the pieces were so large that I'd hate to have run into the chicken that they came from. I do need to comment on the restrooms, while pretty clean, both the men's and women's rooms needed quite a bit of love. The toilet paper holder fell off onto my lap while the paper towel dispenser was jammed. The men's room was more aesthetic in nature - the hubby said it was in dire need of some spackle and paint. Our server was pretty amazing also (amazing seems to be quite the theme here...). I have no idea how she balanced a tray of 8 large platters - I'm not making this up. If you are looking for some health food, while there were a few salads and a little grilled chicken on the menu, this is really not your place. We'll be heading back this way in a few weeks (new grandbaby, YAY!) and we will definitely make The Clock of Gaffney a stop along the way.

    This restaurant is very popular in my small hometown of Gaffney, S.C. . They offer a pretty diverse menu. You can get a meat and three vegetables that are actually quite good! The burgers are also very tasty. At times when I'm craving a delicious hot dog plate I come here. The chili is unique and really wakes up those wieners! I usually get my orders to go. I've recently dined inside and the place is spotless and the service is excellent! I had a two chicken breast plate with three veggies and rolls. The food was wonderful and it arrived at our table with lightning speed! Unbelievable service. Great job and I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Save room! I have heard that the deserts are delicious!

    Clock of Gaffney never disappoints! There is a wide selection of foods, and they will work with you to prepare foods that are good sensitivities friendly. I always ask for my fish to be broiled, and my mom used to get her chicken parmigiana not breaded before she passed. They also allowed her to substitute a different side (like fries) for the spaghetti. The Greek foods are also a wonderful selection at this location. The owner is extremely nice and works hard to keep his employees trained to provide delicious food and great service.

    Our food was really good. We loved the hamburger steak and the calabash chicken especially!

    This place has a huge menu! I decided to get the fried chicken since it was on special for $9. I must say it was a ton of food for that price, but unfortunately the chicken was so overcooked and dry that I could barely swallow it and ended up only eating about half. The onion rings however were really good! And the Mac and cheese was delicious! I'd definitely give this place another try if I'm in the area!

    Is there inside dining?

    Absolutely! The clock has a very nice dining room! I have dined in there several times. I usually get mine to go as I live nearby. Love their chicken and a couple of veggies!

I…read morerarely get this far off the interstate but today, we're passing through Gaffney downtown and it's dinnertime and I figured, let's do it! Surprisingly empty on a Thursday evening, I was welcomed by the two ladies working and I took a seat. My drink and food order was taken and my cup of sweet tea arrived a moment later. The chiliburger plate with fries was the special dinner of the day. Two burger buns loaded with their chili and a big pile of fries. The chiliburger is halfway between "Sloppy Joe" and "Meatball Sub" and it's delicious. This was a good portion, very inexpensive, very filling. I enjoyed it very much!

    While on a road trip today, my daughter-in law and I stopped by Harold's Restaurant after spotting…read morea sign along the interstate. It advertised the location as one visited by celebrity foodie Guy Fieri, which piqued our interest enough to give it a try. When we arrived, we learned that Guy had actually stopped by years ago. Unfortunately, the waitress we spoke with wasn't familiar with his visit or what dish had earned his attention it was before her time. Stepping inside felt like walking straight into the 1960s: the décor, the atmosphere, even the energy gave off vintage diner vibes. The waitress greeted us with a smile, but seemed somewhat puzzled, especially when we asked about substituting fries on one of the menu items. She informed us plainly that no substitutions were allowed. My daughter-in-law and I both ordered the chili burger, which ended up tasting more like a sloppy Joe. The burger itself was thin, greasy, and reminiscent of something you'd find in a kids' meal. That said, the restaurant was clean, both the dining area and the restroom, and service was impressively fast. There's also a bar tucked away near the back by the restrooms. All in all, I was expecting something more memorable, especially given the celebrity endorsement. While the menu does offer many inexpensive options, the experience didn't live up to the hype for me. Harold's isn't a place I'll make a point to revisit.

Having never been I was a bit overwhelmed by all the choices and let my wife order for us while I found a table. The floors were sticky, the table was stick, and some moron was on their phone using speaker phone. My wife ordered two Philly Cheesesteaks making one a 'jumbo' to include onion rings, fries, and a drink. Service was friendly & helpful for us newcomers and the food was delivered quickly by the friendly staff. So as much as I was concerned about sticky floors and all that, the food really was delicious. The cheesesteaks seemed to be more bun than meat, but honestly it was a perfect balance of meat, cheese, grilled onion AND a PERFECTLY crispy AND soft bun. The sandwich truly was magnificent and really well balanced/proportioned. I thought the rings were a bit under cooked, but I was fooled again! Onion was soft, well cooked, and flavorful. Fried were definitely undercooked but I don't generally eat French fries so all good. Cole Slaw was middle of the road. I struggle with a rating but sticky floors, sticky table along with a few environmental things really drag down my overall perception. Friendly/competent staff and an excellent sandwich will hold a steady rating of three. Would I eat there again? It is on of the few unique non-chains in the area and I know what to expect going in. So if I need to stop on the area, I'd more than likely stop again thanks to staff and food!

Best thing we had was the buffalo chicken wrap. I'll update the review once we come back again. I'm gonna pass on the fries and onion rings next time though, they aren't with the extra $3. The restaurant feels like a diner but you order at the counter and bus your own tables. Pete's has so many items on the menu I'm sure we will find our favorites soon!
