    I've been eating at this little restaurant for as long as I can remember. The staff here are always the sweetest and everything I've ever ordered off the menu is absolutely amazing. They offer breakfast all day long and they also have daily specials. No matter what you order from this place you will not be disappointed!!

    Quickly seated during lunchtime, waitress addressed me quickly and got order fast. Chicken pan pie was good and filling, Mac and cheese was as expected and corn was good and not overly cooked or seasoned.

    This quintessential neighborhood diner has been in business since 1977 when it was opened in this location by Gus Tsatsaronis, who immigrated from Greece 3 years earlier. There have been several expansions of the facilities, but the essence of the diner has remained the same - serve genuine home-cooked food 3 meals a day! The fare offered here is predominantly classic Southern with a few Italian dishes, and reflecting Gus' heritage, a few Greek specialties - Gyro, Chicken and Pork Souvlaki, Greek style Spaghetti, and the headliner, well marinated Greek Chicken (a Wednesday special, 1/2 chicken, 2 sides, for $9.90). The menu here is broad, and there seems to be value everywhere on it. The Breakfast Special is $7.55 - 2 eggs (you can request a 3rd egg at NO CHARGE), bacon (you can request it to be crispy), choice of Grits, Gravy, Home Fries, or Hashbrowns, and Toast or Biscuit. The Daily Specials offer real value as indicated by the Greek Chicken mentioned above, there are plenty more to choose from. The Fried Chicken here is as good, and as Southern, as it gets - very well-seasoned, and cooked to order, so it will take 20 minutes or so, and they will tell you that. They also have both a Senior Citizens and a Kid's menu with even more savings. This place is popular and was even visited by UNC TV food critic Bob Garner in May 2017, resulting in his seal of approval. The service is as good as the food, with a host of long-time wait staff available.

    We had some errands to run and finally stopped into Clemmons Kitchen for breakfast. We were seated right away and provided menus. Our drink orders were also taken. The menu has a good variety of items to chose from and the prices are very reasonable. My wife decided on the meat lovers omelet with a side of gravy and biscuit. I chose the hamburger steak with home fries and toast. We also ordered a side of link sausage to share. Our server was very friendly and welcoming as well. Our food arrived in a timely manner and looked great. We each enjoyed our meals. My wife commented that her omelet was very good and there was a generous amount of filling. She didn't care for the biscuit and felt it lacked flavor. I enjoyed my hamburger steak and home fries and the sausage and toast were great as well. My wife visited the restroom and reported that it was clean and well maintained.

    A charming local spot that is definitely beloved by the community. The staff is extremely friendly and kind. They were attentive and had suggestions for us to try. In the end we just stuck with good old breakfast. The menu was pretty extensive for a local diner sort of spot and I know we will be back to try more stuff. The dining room is open and bright. The food was good and came out fast and was very reasonably priced! All in all a great place to grab breakfast!

    UPDATE: While I feel overall Clemmons Kitchen is around 3.5 stars from all my visits, lately they have been leaning towards 4 stars with past 3 star visits taken in consideration. The main factor is the food...as far as local diner type food expectations, they are pretty good. Their hamburger steak is a solid entry (recently got a 10 oz hamburger steak $8.99 dinner special with mushroom gravy that really had great hamburger taste), their fried chicken sandwich as well as their chicken tenders either fried or grilled are good choices, and a good cheeseburger with an order of crunchy golden fries can be found here as well. Service can be for the most part nice and helpful...while rarely I have had some less attentive servers, it is not the norm here. My most recent visits really have been better than those in the far past so even though I get that 3.5 star feeling here, I can go with rounding up to 4 stars with some pretty tasty diner type food and friendly service for the most part with recent experiences.

    You could tell by all the people crowding both outside and waiting inside that Clemmons Kitchen was very popular with locals. We waited for 15 minutes at 1PM on Sunday, mind you they close at 2PM. But I would say that it was worth it. Being that we are recently from SoCal, we kind of stuck out a little bit among the locals I think, but were greeted warmly by both the patrons and the employees. We sat down at the 15 minute mark and were promptly waited on by a very friendly server who I didn't get the name of, but she was happy to share her excellent opinions of the food choices. I chose the Reuben, but she quickly pointed out that it was served with mustard and not Thousand Island dressing (not really a Reuben, but more of a corn beef sandwich), but I'll play along. The food came quickly and was hot and the sandwich was full of corn beef, sauerkraut and yes, mustard and not dressing. The fries were very crisp and tasty as well and I enjoyed both very much. I was happy with the lunch and the food and service.

    Same with green beans.

    Food was pretty good but a little under seasoned. We got there around 1 pm, still pretty busy but quieted down fast. Huge serving of Chicken livers, the broccoli augratin was very cheesy but the rolls could stand a little more rising. Overall for the value it's well worth it. Staff was exceptionally nice.

I was very hungry and just needed some quiet time to relax. This place gave me everything I needed. It's huge, clean, well lit, and comfy. The ladies up front were sweet and my waitress was a doll. There when I needed, but not hovering. Even the bathrooms were spotless. It's definitely a breakfast restaurant, although they do have burgers and other sandwiches on the menu. But when it comes to breakfast, they had everything you could possibly think of on the menu. I ended up choosing Big K's Combo and for the price of $11.99 I thought it would be a normal size meal. I was so surprised when an incredible amount of food for the money came out. Everything was delicious. Ordering grits is a bit of a gamble lately but these were the best grits I've had from a restaurant in years. The scrambled eggs were moist and tender, the bacon was crisp, hashbrowns very tasty, and the pancakes were perfect, with those special crispy edges that I just love. This is a fantastic place to go and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an excellent breakfast.

It really did resemble Breakfastime as far as the food, decor, and even the pricing. I paid for my plate and my toddler and it was nearly $30. Which is insane for breakfast for one adult and one toddler. I enjoyed this visit and the food was good, but I won't be rushing back over there anytime soon.

An open, high ceiling interior with a short bar. The host station is center as you walk in the door, with the cash register at the front. It can be ridiculously busy and over crowded on most weekends and at peak times during holidays, with over half an hour wait times. I tend to avoid those times, and its a relaxed and enjoyable breakfast brunch place. On any given Monday through Friday after 10.30-11ish, you can walk right in and sit. Good omelettes, along with bowls and the menu has a nice variety of breakfast brunch options. Our servers each visit have always been kind and friendly. My last time in, ordered an omelette with fruit the Chili Chorizo and it was very good. A solid choice. A well made omelette loaded with roasted onions, chorizo, avo and cheeses, topped with diced green chili. Before that, the farmstand breakfast tacos also a solid choice. Three well prepared tacos with a side black beans, fresh avocado and pico with scrambled eggs, chicken, and chorizo. Their breakfast donuts, when available are a treat all on their own. Another cool part of this eatery, they juice daily. We always grab a juice with our coffee and meal, My preference has been the Morning Meditation, orange, lemon and tumeric, with ginger, agave nectaa and beet. Its a turbo charged OJ. 4 Stars a solid choice for a good meal 01156

As we were looking at the menu, they noticed that I was Filipino and even mentioned some items that weren't on the menu. She asked if I liked Ube (I LOVE UBE) and offered to make me an Ube latte! Not sure if maybe they plan on adding it to their menu or creating a seasonal or limited menu because it definitely wasn't listed, but I'm so glad she did because oh my goodness that might have been the best Ube latte I've ever had. A lot of times I find the coffee taste overpowers the Ube, but the way she made this latte I was very impressed. I could taste the Ube right away. Sad this place isn't closer to me. Not sure when we are coming back to the area, but if we ever do I am definitely coming back to try more of their things!

They don't give a side with sandwiches, looks like they are all à la carte. $1.50 wasnt a bad price though. Loved my pita I would only suggest maybe they grill the onions and instead of fresh.
