Mannings - Clayton

I recently visited this restaurant while in North Carolina to visit my father, and it was a wonderful experience. What stood out to me the most was the spacious layout of the restaurant. Unlike many other places where tables are crowded together, Manning's had plenty of room to move around. The service was excellent, with the waiter checking on us at just the right times. The food was delicious, I particularly enjoyed the Pimento Bretzel-Burger and the mushrooms. The fries were also fantastic, perfectly crispy. I will definitely be returning to Manning's the next time I am in North Carolina.

We decided to try Manning's restaurant because they were open at 3:30 on Friday. The service was excellent. My husband tried the big bad bacon BBQ brisket burger and said it was the best burger he had ever had. We also loved the BBQ sauce they served with it.

I was impressed by the spacious and welcoming dining area of the restaurant, which had a rustic charm. They served us a delicious meal in Clayton. The staff greeted us warmly as soon as we walked in, which was something I appreciated in a small town like Clayton. The service was excellent. The menu was impressive and I would recommend trying a few dishes if you visit. The cheese fries were fantastic and filling, but the standout dish was the crispy rib appetizer. The combination of tender rib meat and melted cheese was outstanding, and just as good the next day as leftovers. I ordered the Jennifer’s filet entree, which was cooked well, though closer to medium than rare as I had hoped. I didn't get to see the rooftop terrace, but it sounds spacious and I look forward to visiting it on our next trip during the warmer months. Cheers!

Fast service and great food. the garnel and grits were amazing and the fish sliders were from the world! the first time diner and I will definitely go again. I can't wait!

The spinach dip is a MUST have every time I visit! Gumbo was delicious, as always! Love the laid back environment and delicious meals to choose from. Love to support small, local businesses such as this one!
