Shelby, NC. Where do I begin. I've been traveling through this town for many years as it was always…read morea travel connector to both sets of grandparents who lived in Forest City as I was growing up. Never ever considered stopping for food here because getting through the city on 74 is tough enough as time seems to stand still here because no one, and I mean no one is moving quickly here. As the current situation is Shelby is now the half way point from my our home to where my daughter and grandson moved 1 1/2 hours away. Tuesday night we made the trek to pick up the grand for a sleep over, meeting half way at The Creekside Clock for dinner. In the entry way there is a sign stating that food is made to order so please be patient. OK. We got plenty of patience. Walk up to the counter and place your order, HUH??? Can I take a look at a menu? Sure, put on your glasses and read from the menu board. Sorry! I wasn't prepared for that. Menu looks great. There is a lot of variety and daily specials. We placed 3 separate orders, probably the first mistake as we were all sitting together, just not paying together. I am not a fan of paying before you get your food. Tip? What am I tipping? We sit with our little numbers on sticks at our table and a waitress comes to review our tickets and bring our drinks. So far so good. Ok now we wait. I can see the kitchen window and there are 6 heads in view and they appear to be super busy prepping and getting out the food. Apparently that wasn't the case. First order arrives, baked potato and chicken sandwich looks yum! A side salad was also delivered. A good bit later my meatloaf and fiancé's combination seafood plate and the grands shrimp. All looks good, alas, there is nothing on my plate that is even warm. I Asked if they had a microwave they could reheat my plate, it was that cold. Found out also that the chick sandwich and potato that was delivered first was not warm either. Still waiting on a steak and steak tips at this point everyone else was pretty much done with their food. The steak was good, again the potato cold. I am really shocked by all of the good Google reviews for this place. Although the menu looks nice. For them to boast that food is made to order, and not even serve the food warm along with the horrible execution, this was a one and done for us!

Finally made it out here on a Saturday night after hearing about it from a few people and it did…read morenot disappoint. The space has been completely redone and the custom bar is honestly worth seeing on its own. Real creek rocks, a blue streak built into the surface, lights underneath. A lot of thought went into it. We started with the tiger chicken nachos and those things are as good as everyone says. I went with the smash burger for my main, nice crust on the patty, good toppings, nothing falling apart. My wife got the salmon and she was really happy with it too. The menu is set up so you can pop in for a casual weeknight meal or do something a little nicer on the weekend, which I appreciate. Someone from the ownership side stopped by our table to check in, which felt genuine, not just going through the motions. Live music was playing when we got there and it was loud enough to enjoy but you could still have a conversation. Prices are fair. We'll be back sooner rather than later.

Been hearing about this place for ages, and finally had the opportunity to go. My friend took me…read morehere for MY BIRTHDAY, and what a horrible experience! The hors d'oeuvre was the "coveted" fried deviled eggs. They were rubbery with absolutely no flavor other than the dosing of paprika. Not ONCE were we asked if we wanted a cocktail, had to request silverware twice and were given A SINGLE FORK IN A SMALL PAPER BAG. No spoon, no knife. Never did get a small plate for the hors d'oeuvres. Ordered the "Steak Street Tacos" and requested mine to be cooked "medium rare", was told immediately that "they can't do that! Why?? Have no idea. But it made me believe that the meat was precooked. These "tacos" were supposed to have come with pico de gallo. What I got was basically "Steak Um" with tons of lettuce, stale flour tortillas, and cheese. No tomatoes, no sour cream, just a tablespoon of bland, store bought SALSA. I requested Tabasco sauce for the eggs, and was told they had none. I asked how they could make a Bloody Mary without Tabasco?? No answer was given. The manager (?!?) was sitting in the corner the entire time on his phone eating DOMINOES PIZZA. I am ashamed to say this place is considered "good eating" in Shelby. I will drive 45 minutes to Charlotte, Spartanburg, etc. I would have left ZERO stars, had that been an option.

There was no wait, although it did take us a few minutes to decide what we wanted because they have lots of options. We finally decided we would do the Choose 2. I got the Jalapeño Turkey Crunch half sandwich and a half Chefs Salad with Chipotle Ranch Dressing and a Diet Dr Pepper. My husband chose The Memphian half sandwich with the Smokehouse Spud and water to drink. The food was really good and even though the Smokehouse Spud was missing the Mac and the Bacon, my husband didn't care. The only complaint we have is the price. Our meal with the tip was $40. For that price you should get a full sandwich, full side and drink.

Almost to the point of acting like "my 20% auto gratituty is there, so I can forget things, be slow, and not check on how you like your food." Ordered 2 cocktails. Pictured is the Abysance. It was ok. My Last Word was better. Ordered the pasta dish. I was excited because the pesto seemed fresh, but it lacked seasoning. Chicken, pasta, and mushrooms were great. Too much oil seeping out of the pesto. My table mates all complained that their food was either missing seasoning, or overly spicy. This was odd because the menu didn't describe a thing to be spicy. Like the veggies and roasted potatoes were covered in some type of cayenne blend! One Ordered the creme brulee, covered in untoasted Almond flour...like why??? She dumped that off. I opted not to try desserts. I don't know if I would return to eat, maybe just for drinks. But there are at least 2 places on the block for great drinks, so I don't know if i'll be back. .

Ordered a hamburger steak, cooked medium, emphasized hot pink in the center, with corn on the cob and french fries. Food comes out, the hamburger steak was very well done. Instead of taking my plate away, she scooped the hamburger steak onto a saucer because she had to prove to the cook that it's burnt. I wait 10 to 15 minutes for the replacement, and that's all that comes out. Corn is cold, fries are cold. I mention that to her, no response. The corn was sitting in a small dish of butter. No way to eat it, except picking it up with my bare hands, butter running down my hands. Plenty of seating available, they stuck us in a cubby that felt like we were in sardine can. Had to take my wife's bag back out to the vehicle because there was nowhere to put it. So much for the ambience. Been there, done that, never again. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because my wife did enjoy the lobster and crab bisque.
