There are so many things to love about Clayton, NC—shopping, parks, events, entertainment… and food! Clayton is home to tons of fantastic (and locally owned) restaurants. You’ll definitely want to try them all… but for starters, here are some of the best restaurants in Clayton.
Mannings Restaurant
Whether you’re sipping a cocktail on the rooftop patio or enjoying some Southern comfort food in the cozy restaurant, Mannings offers a laid-back, friendly vibe… and plenty of delicious food and drink options, too.
Clayton Steakhouse
You don’t have to like steak to love Clayton Steakhouse (though it certainly helps… the steaks are pretty fantastic)! There’s also a salad bar and self-serve drink station in this laid-back eatery featuring chophouse classics.
Caribbean Delight
If you’re looking for something a little different, then it might be time to head over to Caribbean Delight. You can get everything from classics (like Fried Chicken) to unique new flavors (like mashed green plantains).
Skylines Cafe
Traditional American dining gets a bit of a twist at Skylines. Priding themselves in fresh, real ingredients, Skylines offers a unique combo of apps, seafood, wraps and sandwiches… and selections of wine and craft beer.
Tavern 42
Three words: Pizza, beer, and burgers. Tavern 42 does all of them quite well, and couples it with a laid-back, friendly atmosphere that’s welcoming to adults and kids alike.
First Street Tavern
Wine, wraps, dips, craft beer, bourbon, salads, live music… what can’t you find at the First Street Tavern? Great choice for those who want to kick back, relax with a drink, meet some friends for a bite, or just enjoy some jams on the porch.
Jones Cafe
I’d be remiss if we didn’t give this little place a mention… it’s been alive and kickin’ since 1958! It’s definitely doing something right, with some of the best hot dogs and burgers around. Couple that with a friendly “old-school” environment and you’ve got a great little spot for a quick bite.
