Otherwise park further behind or across street & short walk over. It's an old converted gas station on the corner. Majority of seating is outside. There's some inside seating & a bar inside. Old gas station style bathrooms outside & around the corner. There's a stage for events. Appears to be pet friendly. Nice view of Main Street with shops, desserts & boutiques.

The establish was not busy. The tables were sticky and had visible signs of glass rings. For not being busy, it took a considerable amount of time for the food to come out. While my food was very good, the wife had fries that were cold. We were served food without any utensils or napkins. It took 8 minutes for utensils to arrive and one napkin each. We asked for more napkins, which never came. My wife mentioned the cold fries and she was brought another serving of equally cold fries. When we were finished, I asked the server for a couple to go boxes. We received one and had to ask for more; eventually getting one more box. It took an additional 10 minutes to get the check, and another 10 to have it retrieved with the credit card. The neighboring table was also dealing with cold fries.

The biscuits were delicious and not too dry, but the corned beef hash was a little too salty (even for a fiend like me) and my omelet was both under and over cooked. Even if the food was ok, I have to call out the exceptional service we received. Our waiter was kind and attentive, clarifying whether we wanted sweet or unsweet tea (my California ass forgot I was in the south now), warning us the kitchen was running a little behind due to the morning rush, and in general being a gem of a human being. I'd come back for that treatment! Logistics: - limited street parking in front - indoor seating only

We started with the beef empanadas, which were traditional, flavorful, and perfectly done. Then came the Cubano, and wow, absolutely outstanding. The pork was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender with just the right amount of crispy pieces that gave it incredible texture and flavor. We also ordered the Cajun Arroz con Pollo, and it completely blew us away. It was packed with flavor, the crispy chicken was truly perfect, and the Cajun seasoning was spot on, bold and delicious without being spicy. From start to finish, every bite was memorable. Add in the cool downtown Clayton vibe, and this place is a must visit. We'll absolutely be back.

The salad came with a whole avocado over fresh salad greens, tomatoes, pork and black beans. My only complaint I got full too fast. The ropa vieja was packed with flavor too.

The Uncle Nearest Whiskey shot was priced at $6. We were charged $10 and stated we had Jack Daniel's whiskey! When we pointed this out to our server, she said, "oh no, we have new menu prices, ok?" No, this is not okay. We should have been told this when ordering. Unbelievable the way she dismissed us.

Our groups of six sampled a few of the amazing cocktails with the Stekoa Sour being a huge hit. I think 3-4 came out for us. The complimentary muffins were outstanding; so much so we asked for some to go. We ordered the mountain queso, bone marrow steak tartare and brussel sprouts for the table. All mouthwatering, but the sprouts stole the show. I could drink that sauce! Our entrees included a Caesar salad with chicken, house salad with chicken, bolognese, Tuscan chicken pasta, meatloaf, and short ribs. Everything hit! So stuffed, but wait there's more! They provided complimentary desserts of our choice since three of us were celebrating a birthday. Do not skip the carrot cake OR the apple crumb cake with dulce de leche ice cream. Nearly licked the plates. On top of how amazing everything was, it was also so fairly priced. Such a wonderful treat. I'm so sad I live seven hours away and only visit annually. Local folks, keep them in business!

We found RS to be an attraction for families with children, especially in the area with low-top tables. On the day we visited, children of various ages were running back & forth to the restroom, standing in the walkways, yelling, crying, etc. If yours is an adult party, I recommend you sit at the high-top tables, which are in a separate area. Our waiter, though he seemed detached, was knowledgeable and helpful concerning food sensitivities. Because they do not have GF bread or buns, and use gluten-containing ingredients in their sushi and soups, I ordered a smash burger with no bun, and a side of vegetables. This was very tasty; I ate every bite of the burger. Hubby ordered the California Roll. I was unable to taste these, as the imitation crab has gluten-containing ingredients as a binder. Even though RS does not have many GF options, I would return just for that burger!
