Good food, great beer, friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, which comes out hot and disappears fast. Definitely order it. Then split a South Mountain Chicken pizza, which was really good, thin crust with that slight char you only get from a real brick oven. The wood fired wings are worth getting too, we went with the honey sriracha sauce and would order those again without hesitation. The craft beer list is genuinely impressive for a town this size. They rotate well and usually have some solid NC breweries on tap. Prices are fair across the board. Staff kept things moving even when it got busy, and the vibe is just comfortable without trying too hard. One of the better spots in the area by a wide margin.

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!

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.

They seated us right away and got our drinks (water) and I ordered the Fried Chicken Wrap with Tiger sauce and onion rings and my husband ordered two orders of six piece wings, one buffalo and one golden nugget. The service was not great. We were there before the lunch rush but we didn't get our food for almost an hour and the waitress never came back until she brought the food. She said they had to remake my order twice, but she never said anything. The food was really good but I only ate a few bites and had to leave.

We ended up nixxing half the order and just taking what was ready after an hour. Their saving grace was that they were respectful about the mistake and did not give off with any anger when we were trying to come to a resolution after me needing to leave at the hour mark. I just paid for what was ready at that time and the person gave me a coupon if I decide to come back. I don't know how the food is yet so this review is just for the service.

He greeted us and grabbed a couple of menus with his unsanitary hands. When we were seated we flipped through the menu with napkins provided. The waitress attending to us was very nice and tentative. As we were eating I was the one to face the male host with the long hair. There weren't any guest coming into AB's and during that time he fussed with his hair. This host ran his fingers through his hair, splitting the ends and scratching the part in the middle of his hair. The manager past and asked how our meal was. We said, fine. The manager then went to speak with host. Lo and behold he continued to scratch, split and run his fingers through his hair. He did this 75% of my meal time. You would think that the manger would address a possible health issue but she did not. I am from Las Vegas/Hospitality and have experienced many levels of dining. This is host 101 duties and responsibility. Shame on me for not checking Yelp for the 1.5 rating. I will not be returning because I will have this image on my mind for a long time.

We had to wait for a little while before the host ever came to seat us but our waitress immediately came and got our drinks.

Food came out pretty fast but my pasta was cold and the bacon was burnt. I was hungry and it wasn't terrible, so I ate it. My husband said his chicken sandwich was ok but it was definitely not worth the price they charge. We probably won't be back just because the food really isn't worth the price.
