Amazing restaurant to eat at.Be sure to make sure to book for reservations. It does get a little packed on the weekends or near a special occasion you might have. As you can see I finished off everything they served. Gumbo was good, but the chicken wasn’t shredded or chopped properly. Ribs were excellent seasoned fries were great. My wife had boneless ribs. They were fantastic. She finished those off, I also had a grilled salmon with bacon. It was amazing. My Caesar salad was fantastic. Crabcakes were great. Our waitress was amazing. We wanted to change seats. She had no problem with it changed our seats. We were very pleased, so far one of the best restaurants we ate at this year in Clayton.

Ordered the Clayton Classic with a fried egg and sweet potato fries. Order was above 80 dollars total. Never again! I’m writing because the they won’t pick up the phone.
I got a patty that was obviously cooked frozen. It tasted horrible.
Fried egg was just that and probably the only thing that came out ok.
The sweet potato fries were just normal fries and not from a sweet potato and probably have a bunch of ingredients other than potato in them.
I couldn’t even eat the burger but I had to eat the fries because I was hungry.
Tried to call the restaurant but their automated system just keeps you on hold.
The other orders were consistent with being messed up as well. I would give negative stars for the food if I could. I hope they have better service for dine in customers and that may keep the restaurant floating.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Our server Drew was PHENOMENAL!!! He was attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu. He made amazing recommendations, and they were all spot on. When you grow up in a seafood town, especially one that doesn’t play around when it comes to anything crab related, that can make you a little hesitant on selecting a crab dish in other states. The crab dip paired with the Old Bay pita chips was a seafood lover’s dream. The crab cake was delightful as well. Served with the fried green tomato and corn relish the flavors were just right. We had eaten over half of it by the time I took the picture. The waffle with the chicken and waffles served with moist chicken fried to perfection and the pork belly was incredible. The ribeye eggrolls were the best I’ve ever had.
I found out about this place because I was given a gift card as a birthday gift. Needless to say, I will indeed be back. The service and the food were superior, and I can’t wait to come back for more. Thank you Drew for a great experience!

I was really hoping for something more. Talking to others in my party who had been before, they said it used to be a better quality place. Parking was good street side, we had a 1hr wait for our table. Server was somewhat attentive but got our drinks and disappeared for a while. The food looked ok, but chicken was chewy and not great quality. Steak appetizer was good. Sweet potato fries were so so. It was cold and the front door was left open for the whole evening, I was freezing! Don’t think I’d come again.

The food was great. The server was nice enough, but the restaurant was incredibly loud and busy, so it was really difficult to communicate. We were seated right behind the bar area, so that definitely contributed to the noise. It was also prime time on a Saturday night. So I understand, but I literally could not hear the people at my own table, let alone someone trying to take orders and provide service.
I would be willing to try them again, but I highly recommend sitting away from the end of the bar area.
9 out of 15 for a total of 3 stars.

Another excellent visit! Everything was sooo good and our server was on point. No wait time as it was a Sunday afternoon and everything was clean and tidy. Pictures don’t do it justice as we couldn’t wait for pictures to start munching!

My wife and I decided to get married on the rooftop of Mannings and it was AMAZING!! Not only was it incredibly affordable Howard and Jennifer went above and beyond helping to put it all together! The food was DELICIOUS and everyone raved about how delicious the food was (a fully customizable menu) and how the drinks (Open bar) flowed all night long! The wait staff were incredibly kind and were on top of their game the entire time, we had a wonderful bartender for the evening as well, she even found me in the middle of the wedding to hand me a drink, it was just the kinda personal touch that I believe Jennifer and Howard Manning were responsible for. 10/10 recommend getting married here or get a DELICIOUS dinner

We were excited to try this cute little spot. Walking in, the lower level and bar were upscale and ornate. We were offered a seat upstairs and agreed. Upon reaching the top, the atmosphere changed to that of a tea room filled with a bit of the smoke from the kitchen downstairs.
Our server was kind and attentive. We ordered the Cesar salad which was delicious, the ribeye egg rolls, and Luigi’s linguine. The egg rolls were good but the sauce on the linguine tasted almost like spaghettios. It wasn’t at all what I would guess based on the menu description. I ended up sending it back and ordering a half rack of ribs. The sauce was different than I expected, I expected more of a sweet baby rays, but it had a nice heat and smoke to it. We may try it again just to see if any of the other food is as good as it looks.

It’s Valentine’s Day and this is the first time we’ve eaten from this restaurant, we got it to go. We ordered the half pound hamburger with onion rings, and The drunken chicken sandwich, both were fantastic! And we really felt like reasonably priced for the size of the sandwiches and the quality! The burger was so big that I had to split it with my daughter! I added blue cheese and bacon to it. It was perfectly cooked. My husband loved the chicken sandwich and really enjoyed the Parmesan for fries. We will definitely be back!!

We recently had a family gathering at Manning’s Restaurant in Clayton, NC, and it was my first time visiting. From the moment we arrived, the experience was delightful, and I am incredibly thankful for the excellent service provided by the wait staff. One of the most notable moments was when a member of the staff went above and beyond to assist my mother-in-law. She had some difficulty navigating the steps, and without hesitation, one of the waiters kindly escorted her, ensuring she got to her seat safely. That small act of kindness made a big impact on our experience, and we were all very grateful.
As for the food, it did not disappoint! The appetizers were absolutely on point, setting the tone for a fantastic meal. My brisket burger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, with just the right amount of tenderness. To top it all off, I ordered their lemonade, and it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time – refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness.
Manning’s Restaurant is not just a place to eat but an experience. With great food and even better service, I highly recommend this spot for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering or just a casual night out. We will definitely be back!
