    Blackened Pork Chop, Black Beans and Rice, Broccoli
    lanette l.

    A casual lunch turns into me finding my new favorite casual go to. The menu had a lot of great options and then our server read us the special. At least 3 Brunch & 3-4 lunch as well. I was thinking wow I love having options! I ordered the Blackened Pork Chop, Black Beans and Rice, Broccoli. Y'all when I say this pork chop was big, seasoned well and juicy. The Black Beans and Rice also seasoned nicely and delicious. My husband had the Cuban Sandwich with Potato Salad. His sandwich was delicious and he said only thing he would do is ask for a little more mustard next time. As a former chef and a pretty good cook I'm always looking for good home cooked food with some twist and this place has it! One hard working man pulling it all off and our server was super nice and helpful. I've already told my husband this is where I want to have my birthday dinner because I know I'll have a great meal! With all of the options this will definitely be in our usual rotation. Kudos to this place for making good quality food that would make your mama proud!

    The shrimp and grits were amazing! The service was great and the food came out quick but still fresh. Highly recommend

    My husband and I really enjoyed our lunch today. I had the bourbon bacon cheeseburger. My husband had the French Dip. We had biscotti cheesecake for desert. Everything was delicious. Menu was not extensive but the daily specials were appetizing and well thought out. Well presented. A lot of offerings for drinks. Wine, beer, tea etc. This was our first visit but will not be our last. Service was great. Accommodating. Ambience was comfortable . Enjoyed the music playing. Looking forward to returning for the homemade banana pudding.

    Take a river chicken, barbecue and loaded mashed potatoes, Yum Yum

    This is definitely worth a visit! The management and staff are top-notch and very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is very nice and casual but still a good place for dates and stuff a little more formal I had the tiger rib river barbecue chicken and we also had the pork chops which were really big. Both were cooked perfectly and definitely worth the 40 minute drive.

    This spot has become a family favorite! The service is always quick and personable. The drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. And the food-the food is always freshly prepared and well seasoned. We've been a couple of times now and have tried a variety of items and loved each one!

    First time visiting. Didn't get inside the door. The hours are 4-9. I went inside at 8:10, and was told they were closed. Not good!

    I'm not Cuban, but two of the three I was with were born in Cuba so of course they know what Cuban…read morefood taste like. The one who suggested this restaurant told the other right upfront that it's the best for this area of North Carolina and it is not Cuban food of Miami. The restaurant was busy, and of course tables are limited because of its size, but the owners were very accommodating and we appreciate that very much There is a back parking lot with three spaces, but they are for pick up only but we were given permission to use one as we had a handicap individual with us. My Cuban sandwich was just fine and tasted just like the one I had in Miami in my opinion as a gringo and everyone finished their meal without sending anything back so I would say the food was pretty good The restaurant is a order at the counter and staff will deliver it to your table. There is one unisex bathroom for All and I'm not sure about everyone else but of course our service dog was allowed. I did see two other dogs so I can only assume that pets are allowed as those two were not marked as service animals at all. I cannot think of anything that would cause me not to give this Restaurant a full five star rating

    The food transported me to my childhood in Puerto Rico, the exquisite smell of coffee to the fresh…read morepastelitos... The Cuban sandwich is a great experience of flavor and well done masterpiece... All the personnel welcome you and treat you as part of the family. I truly recommended for Breakfast and for lunch. They have a delicious variety in their menu.

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. We had a shot of Uncle Nearest that was a generous pour. We will definitely return and encourage any visitors to make this a must try! Update! I wrote this review before we got our bill. 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.
