The Clock has been here for over forty years. Longer than most marriages. Longer, certainly, than the one my parents had, which lasted closer to thirty years and ended, according to my father, because of a disagreement about a sectional sofa. I think about that sometimes. I think about it now, pulling into the parking lot, because there is something about a place that has simply endured that feels like a rebuke to everything that hasn't. Inside, locals from near and nearer move through the dining room, shaking hands with people who have been eating here for years. Years. I can't keep a houseplant alive for six months, and these people have been coming back, reliably, to this same place, to order the same food, for years. Chili cheeseburger after chili cheeseburger that creates a sense of togetherness and, at times, heart attacks. There's something almost painful about that kind of loyalty. Or maybe I'm just projecting. I find myself staring at the alternating layers of patty, chili, cheese, and I think onions for a moment before eating, the way you might stare at a word you've written too many times until it stops looking like a word. It is good. It is genuinely, embarrassingly good, in the way that things are good when they have not been overthought. And it was delicious in spite of health value. If you're eating at The Clock for health value, I direct you to the salads with prejudice. The menu runs from salads, to tacos, to hot dogs to a meat and three (or for those in Greer, a meat and four), which is not a range you encounter often in a single establishment. It is the culinary equivalent of a man who says he can fix anything. You are skeptical, and then you watch him fix the thing, and you don't know whether to be impressed or slightly ashamed of your own limitations. Ask anyone around town and they'll tell you about roller skating car hops, late night gatherings after high school games, real ice cream milkshakes. Nobody tells you stories like that about a place they didn't love. They're not telling you about the food. They're telling you about who they were when they ate it. I order the sweet tea. It arrives cold and correct. I'm certain my dentist has a handshake agreement with Jimmy that both will keep each other in business a long time. I will come back here, but not as often as I should. We all have our faults. The Clock has few. read more

See all

Nice basic lunch. Had the cheeseburger and fries special. Good food good prices good service. They have a meat and two (or three) that I'd try if I went there again. Clean neighborhood staple read more

Omg I thought all the food places in Greer was bad until I finally stopped here! Every time I go by they are literally always packed! We went today almost walked out thinking there was no seats and an employee stopped us and showed us there was more seats available and I'm so glad she did. It was our first time being there (I've ate at other clocks but was not impressed) the service was excellent we got our drinks right away she was patient with us taking our time to order lol it was kinda hard to choose. Everything was DELICIOUS like very very very delicious! This place is Very very very highly recommended!! And you get great portions of everything. My plate is pictured. Others in my family got California wraps which are big and I love the kids meal comes with a fruit bowl option instead of fries you even get a good amount of mixed fruit! read more

Amazing food / svc for the value. We love going @ least once/wk! Lasagna on Sat night is very good; we always enjoy looking @ the daily specials read more

I am sure happy that my wife and I got to eat lunch here, as we many times are in town for hockey games and we are not keen on sports bars, which are plentiful in Greer. The Clock is a very large diner, American-style and Southern Style to boot. Wonderful menu which is a book. Specials are printed for each day. You can take-away, and their counter is fully ready to handle and fill your orders. However, dining in is a treat. Melinda was our server and she is a joy to watch as she hustles about waiting on her tables. All business and accommodating. You ask, she gets. She deserves a hefty tip. I was hungry enough to go for the Albert Burger, all 8 ounces of it, along with the slaw and fries. It is a load on a bun, so suggest you doctor your Albert with condiments and then cut it in half. You will still have to wash your hands again, but you will manage it better. Wife had a Calabash Chicken Salad, in fact, an HUGE Calabash CHEF and chicken Salad. She attacked it and barely left a dent in it. The Calabash title refers to the very light dressing/coating on the fried chicken pieces. Southern classics are a normal part of the menu. Go get it. The blue plate special is the meat-n-three. For that don't git it, it means a protein/meal with three sides and corn bread or roll. I chuckle just typing it into this review. All good stuff, done with good folks in a clean place. Parking is plentiful and prices are very reasonable. We had plenty to eat and looking around, the portions were generous. Lots of burger eaters there with us. The kitchen moves food out quickly and it is amazing that they can keep track and assemble all those menu choices. Friendly and business-like atmosphere. Most people were there to eat, rather than chat...but you could do that, too. Go treat yourself at the Clock. read more

this place never disappoints! so many dishes we love to order; Arthur's burger is deliciously made to order; the greek sals w/calabash chicken is sooo yummy; the game day dog is the best in town .... etc etc etc read more

I have traveled to a great many small towns in the USA for business. Always looking for the Mom/Pop independently owned establishments and rarely eat at chains unless absolutely necessary. This place would be rated at the bottom of my list. Fries barely warm, place is a mess and quite frankly next time I want a burger it will be somewhere else. For sure this was just a thawed burger and I dont care about the nostalgic ambiance.... just want good food. Not sure why all the 5 star ratings but hey, to each his own. read more

The food was so good! We had to wait a while but it was well worth it. My favorite thing was the onion rings, I wished I had a HUGE plate of them right now!! My husband grew up eating at the Clock and loves their Chili Cheese Burger. Everyone was extremely nice and kept our tea glass full. Definitely will be back when we are out this way. read more

Never disappoints. This is where we always wind up when we can't think of anywhere else to go. Portions are large. Hot dogs, hamburgers, hamburger steak are the best in town. Always clean. Always consistently good. read more

One of the best little diners in the area! The waitstaff appear to have been working here a while and sometimes they remember us, even though we have only been going about once a month for about 3 years. The food is always great and consistent. Owners are friendly and welcoming, great hometown feel!! read more

Great all around comfort food home cooking for a great price and good service for carry out, we go all the time after a hard day work and service is fast and never messed my order up ever, we go at least 3-4 times monthly! read more

This is pretty good for your typical daily special type of place. Quick and friendly. The food was hot and very good. I had the fried chicken and it wasn't overly breaded, which I appreciate. Also fried corn nuggets for the first time, better than I thought they would be! read more

Clock Restaurant - Getting the fried corn nuggets. Never tried those before! - Diners Near Me - Greer, South Carolina

Omg the food is hands down the best! The pork chops and macaroni and cheese omg will melt in your mouth. Oh and the corn bread I absolutely love. I just love the food period. I give them 10 stars. read more

The best meat and three in Greer and Greenville. Lots of meat and veggie choices. Thank you Jimmy!

What a wide variety on the menu...I think there's something for everyone. Our toddler ate every bite of her gill cheese n fries. She's picky so it must have been good lol. He had the hamburger steak and didn't complain. I had the marinated chicken. It looked good but was dry dry tough dry. I enjoyed my salad, baked potatoe and the best of all (like my grandmother's) their home made veggie soup. It was out of this world. Served with corn bread too, fantastic. I'll go back just for the soup read more

This is my number one go to Restaurant in Greenville, always great service, and excellent Southern Classics that are delicious!

We were not happy with service today for the first time in the years we've been eating here. The wait staff were engaged in gossipy conversation loud enough for everyone to hear and paying little attention to their booths. Our food sat under the lights while cooks conversed with front staff right over the top of our food for at least 10 minutes! Not a good day at The Clock! read more

Busy restaurant, because they have good food at good prices. Good service! Very basic diner. Clean every time.

Seat yourself. Server arrived immediately. Chicken Fried Steak order with fried okra arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious, portions were just right. Check arrived as we finished eating. Pay at the register. Will be back every week. read more

Food is decent but cashier needs to learn how to be nice when making a mistake. Called a young kid a girl when he was a boy . Then follows up with next time I'll just say "it" out loud in front of others. Make it make sense to think that was appropriate to do read more

Alright Greer, it's time to give credit where it's due. Simply stated, the Clock on Poinsett Street is one of the finest diner-style meat-n-threes anywhere in the entire Upstate. I've covered a lot of ground and stared down the barrel of many a hot country meal, and I would unreservedly place this Clock restaurant in my top 5 Upstate meat-n-threes. Before you raise an eyebrow at me, I'll make an obvious concession. Yes, Clock is a restaurant chain, and usually that does not bode well for positive feedback from me since I'm a staunch supporter of local mom-n-pop shops. If you're like me, you'll be wary of trusting a chain restaurant with your $7 of lunch money. You are very wise...but you're gonna be blown away like I was. In addition to doing the typical burgers and diner fare very well, this particular staff and management are employing the services of cooks who are doing country cooking right, my friends. We're talkin about collard greens and green beans that taste like MEAT, meaning somebody back in that kitchen is wielding bacon and a hambone like a flavor ninja. This same countrified ninja also knows how to make some deliciously creamy, cheesy macaroni that's the perfect texture and consistency - it has the optimum coefficient of friction to offer that stick-to-your-ribs sensation when it's sliding down your gullet. I reserve this particular commendation for its own paragraph, for it is perhaps the most precious jewel in the crown. I must ask - nay, I must beg - that you please order the fried catfish filets. I have had similar experiences that I liken to my discovery of the catfish at the Clock - learning to ride a bike on my own, hitting a buzzer beater to win a big game, watching a virtuoso pianist perform Chopin etudes, meeting my wife for the first time, etc. There is a magical moment awaiting your encounter with these mesmerizing morsels, friends. The fry batter is perfect, the fish is cooked perfectly, the flavor and texture and temperature are perfect. This caliber of fried seafood prowess is rare, even among coastal fish fry joints or inland fish camps. You will have lived wisely and richly having partaken of this true glory - please do it soon and often. A great country-fried epiphany awaits you, folks. Get down to the Clock and have a little taste of heaven. read more

We camped nearby and needed something good to eat. We had flounder and shrimp plate once and fried chicken another visit. Both were wonderful. We loved the service and friendly staff. They have great Iced tea. It was a wonderful haven. I would definitely recommend. read more

My son and I were at the Clock told there was a wait, but two men that entered after were seated immediately bad service and dishonest. Although the owner followed and stated that a table was available. Previously enjoyed the food and service. Josey's Chuck Wagon superior service and excellent food. read more

Clock Restaurant - Josey's is PERFECTION! My son and I were told of a wait 2 men entered after sat ASAP dishonest bad service. - Diners Near Me - Greer, South Carolina

For a diner, this is definitely good diner food. Had the patty melt and it was a simple classic. Asked for no cole slaw and just onion rings and the plate came LOADED with the rings! Very nice. Hubs had chili dog that he said was okay...not a quality hot dog, but overall with the chili and onions, it was good. And where else can you get the perfect scoop of delicious blackberry cobbler for $1.49? Decent food, great prices. read more

This was a neat little experience. The feel of the restaurant is super casual and friendly. It was crazy busy when I went with co-workers around noon on a Wed. The waitress could not have been nicer or more accommodating! She was awesome! Service was really fast and the food was good. I had the Baby Club Sandwich, which was okay. Not bad, not awesome. My co-worker had the marinated chicken plate and he said it was amazing so the next time I go, that's what I'm getting! No complaints about this place. If you're in the mood for....well, anything, try Clock Restaurant. They have a little bit of everything (appetizers, sandwiches, open face sandwiches, hot meals, BBQ, the list goes on!). read more

This place stays busy. Some items seem like they are just taken from a bag and cooked but most of the food is just right. Great breakfast and good chili cheese burgers. Wife loves the steak fingers. The fried pickles are good too. The staff is great and they work hard. Bring your appetite cause when you order a plate they will fill it. Try not to go at peak times or you will be run over by the seniors. This place stays full. read more

There are so many immitators, but the Clock of Greer is the real deal. Great food and friendly service. You must stop by if your visiting and give this Greer staple a try. You won't regret it. read more
