New American Restaurants near Clayton, NC

“Really I'd give it an overall 3.5 but the food and service is always a 4. I don't go here much but whatever I order is always really good. I took my kids here the other day and they loved it. My son got a cheeseburger and it was huge. I was surprised he ate it all, to be honest. They're generous with their french fry portions as well. I usually get the falafel, which is always good, but sometimes I'll do a veggie or kebab platter. You really can't go wrong.“

“The ambience is welcoming and local friendly. The food is consistently delicious and the menu is varied. Good place for a casual lunch or business mtg. Dinner is relaxing and unrushed, the service is not in your face but staff easily anticipates the flow. Nice wine list and full bar.“

“Before moving to NC, I’d come to visit and this was my favorite restaurant. The love the menu, the service is absolutely incredible, and I just love the vibes. I LOVE the food. I am not a burger fan, but I will order them from here. The quality of the food is fantastic as well. You will NEVER leave disappointed…I promise. Side note, I’m going there for dinner tonight and I’m so excited ??Vegetarian options: Plenty of options.Dietary restrictions: I’m a type 1 diabetic and I find plenty of options.Parking: Large parking lot.Kid-friendliness: The bar area is separate from the dining room. They have a rubber ducky claw machine in the lobby. I have to get one every time.Wheelchair accessibility: The seating is wide enough to allow wheelchairs to easily move around.“

“We had Under the Oak cater our wedding and absolutely loved the food! We got lots of complements on the passed appetizers, mashed potatoes, carrots, and pork. The chicken was a bit spicier than when we taste tested it but it was still very yummy! All of the waiters were really great and checked on us throughout the day and night to see if we needed anything. They also made sure we had food during pictures! The reason we are giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because we used the bar service, which was overall adequate, but left a little to be desired. For instance, we elected to provide our own drinks and ingredients for the bar and were told what we should supply for the cocktails. However, one of our drinks, an old fashioned, was made with sprite and not the simple syrup which we provided a lot of. Now, we have a lot of left over simple syrup and the old-fashioned (which is my husbands favorite drink) was not what we were expecting. When asked, we were told they were making it "the new way". Several guests and the groom were a bit disappointed with that particular cocktail, but the others were a big hit.Overall we'd definitely recommend Under the Oak Catering for any event.“

“I didn't stay at the rooms but I ate it to restaurant it was dated but it was an awesome place great hospitality great food and some really cool decorations the salad bar was perfect the vegetables was cut up perfectly sized not too big and a good variety of vegetables there at the salad bar very fresh overall me and the one was very very pleased and we really felt blessed because we got to meet the owner but she was busy keeping on people's toes, and I can imagine if she keeps the rooms as she keeps the hotel in the rooms are probably very nice but I did not stay“

“Great overall experience. Meals were tasty and brought to the table in a timely manner. My group can recommend the following 3 meals:Mom's meatloafFish and chipsChicken clubA side of broccoli for one of us was undercooked and tough. Otherwise all around very nice meal.“

“I have been working in Smithfield for about 5 months, since recently moving to Raleigh and had not heard much about the food scene until recently. Because I came here for a business dinner, I didn't get a chance to ask, but is the name of this restaurant related to Southpark? Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's get to the food. We started with some apps. Smoked salmon dip and pimento cheese. Both were very average dips mostly consisting of cream cheese or mayo. Could have used more flavor on each. I ordered the meatloaf with collard greens and red beans and rice. To my surprise, the collard greens were the best thing I had here, which is to say these collard greens were better than a lot of southern meat and threes I had been to. The meatloaf was slightly dry, but the flavor was really good. Notnsure how they prepared it but it looks like it was sliced thin and then finished which most likely dried it out. If it had been moist and had a little more sauce on it, the meatloaf would have rivaled the collards. The red beans and rice were also dry. They had some delicious looking burgers on the menu, I will be back to try one.“
