A friend asked to go to dinner here, and so I went. I'd never heard of P B Clark's before, and I…read morehad no idea what to expect. As it turns out, P B Clark's is a restaurant the likes of which you'll see in or near most small towns. Meat and 2 sides, lots of fish, somewhat worn interior, not super clean, wait staff who are regular people. I've seen it plenty of times and I generally like these places because they are predictable and serve good basic food. P B Clark's is no different. The girl who waited on us is young and has a sunny personality. Super nice and always available. We were also topped off by another nice girl, possibly another waitress or a food runner. I ordered the Friday special catfish with fries and hush puppies. I'm giving this review a 4-star because of the staff and the fish. Otherwise, it would be a three star. The catfish had a ton of flavor and needed nothing for a frozen, breaded, deep fried catfish filet. The hushpuppies were bland, the fries were slightly undercooked and needed salt. My friend had a burger which appeared to be good. Would I go back? Yes, I would.

P.B. Clark's is where I completed my #nccountyhotdogcrawl (getting a hot dog in each of North…read moreCarolina's 100 counties). I was thankful that a group of 12 friends was able to join me. I had called ahead and asked when a good time on Saturday to arrive for a group our size. They shared that breakfast was the busiest time but if we arrived after 11:30 we shouldn't have any problem. These folks know their business, they were spot on! We pulled a few tables together. Our server was extraordinarily patient as our group trickled in arriving in King from Winston-Salem. I think she was very much surprised when 10 out of the 12 us ordered hot dog plates. We started with an order of buffalo chips and they were very much enjoyed along with the ranch they were served with. I think we all enjoyed our hot dogs (mine with chili, mustard, and onions, was great). We had a variety of sides and people spoke highly of the fried okra, banana pudding, sweet potato casserole, and fries. I'd definitely return to P.B. Clarks!

I am soooo close to giving this spot a 5 - there's only a couple of tweaks and this meal would have…read morebeen perfect. Firstly, the parking situation is dire. Especially during rush hour. So make sure you arrive a few minutes early for your reservation just for parking sake. The space, however, is beautiful inside. Very roomy and dark, romantic vibes. I also love the little fireplace along the long table in the front. Our service was also exceptional. Our waiter made great recommendations and was very accommodating. Isaac was a true gem. The food was really outstanding for a steakhouse in little ol King. We started with bread service but they served it with cold butter which we all know won't spread well. Easy enough fix. The pot roast nachos could have used more cheese, namely a melty cheese but the roast was cooked expertly. So tender and juicy. The rest of our group thought the calamari was overcooked but I didn't mind it. The crab dip was my favorite app, perfect in every way. My ribeye with Mac and cheese and collard greens was superb. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Mac and cheese was creamy and the collards had a kick to it that I enjoyed. I liked the brownie dessert but it wasn't anything special. My blood orange margarita was also very good. Overall I highly recommend The Mercantile if you want to eat somewhere off the beaten path. I can't wait to bring my husband back for date night!

When we walked in for dinner it was crowded so we sat at the bar and ate our dinner. As it turned out this was the place to be. The bartender is quite good at his craft. It was fun to see him make and Old Fashioned with the fanfare of the smoked drink under glass. Then someone ordered a cherry Manhatten with a smokey bubble in the glass which popped when presented. I was impressed as I had never seen that technique before. I'm totally ordering again next time I come! Behind me was a long table and on top shooting flames enclosed in a long glass fireplace. Really quite a centerpiece with people dining around each side of it. I wanna bring my friends and sit in front of it, so cool! I ordered a petite filet that was tender and delicious, just the right size when you don't want a huge meal. I ordered a grilled romaine stock as a side. It was better than Ive had in the past. Lightly oiled and grilled not charred. I ordered a baked potato as my side to go w my filet. Quite pleased w my choices. The environment is cozy and the staff and guests are friendly. Next time I'm in King this is where Im going!

Made everyone feel welcome. I ordered the Friday night flounder special. Two large pieces of fried flounder and hush puppies and slaw. The slaw was meh, cut too small for me. The hush puppies are pretty good. The flounder was decent but could have used some seasoning. I had some tarter sauce which helped. Overall, pretty good food and great service. I'd come back!

And the number of locations has risen to 11, stretching from Jacksonville to Hendersonville. I have tried much of the current menu here - hot dogs several different ways including with kraut, burgers from a simple cheeseburger to the monster burger, the fish sandwich, the chicken sandwich, the FFs, ice cream, and even the banana split. These are all very good items, ideal for a quick lunch or a snack

The bar area was just barely used, with the TVs showing some sports, etc. Felt a bit like a pub. It did become very busy after 6:15. We ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich, which is a go-to for my wife, with onion rings (which were okay). There was also an order of boneless wings without a side. I had the Big Dill Burger, which had fried dill pickle chips on it. Good burger. I was surprised that all of the burger offerings were included two patties, but these are more tall than wide, so it's really no much different. Great fries.

The Covid Scare has ruined every eatery in America. Places got used to Take Away Only service and lost their way in the process. The Metal food trays is not my favorite way to eat at the inflated prices of foods this day in time. We had 6 people at our table and we order up some wings. Only problem I observed was the Bills got all flubbed up. Some had things on the tickets that were not supposed to be on it. We finally got the bills straightened out but our server should have been more attentive to the different couples needs and tickets. Oh well, guess we will see what happens next time. I will go back, but I have a freezer full of chicken wings uncooked to prepare here on the farm first. Go get yourself some wings and see if you get what you ordered when the food hits the table. My wings were not burnt or dryed out. That is a good thing.

One of the Worst Dining Experiences I've ever Had…read more I came here for a birthday dinner, and from the start, it was a mess. We were seated at a sticky, filthy table -- it felt like dried soda had been left on it for hours. It took 30-40 minutes for the food to arrive, and even then, multiple entrées for our dinner party were missing. While our waiter seemed like he was trying, the service was chaotic at best. He yelled out food orders and frantically passed plates around the table while sweating bullets. When my chicken sandwich finally arrived, the ciabatta bread was clearly stale, the bacon was overcooked, and the only thing I could taste was canola oil. The fries were cold, and tasted of Canola oil, and easily the worst I've ever had. My husband ordered the double bacon cheeseburger, took one bite, and couldn't finish it. We both felt nauseous for the rest of the evening. I don't know how a restaurant can get it this wrong, but this place was truly a disaster. I would never recommend eating here. Just go to king kitchen.
