    This is a great combo
    Fred B.

    It had been awhile since I ate here, so I stopped into get my favorite meal here - a Patty Melt and a side of the very best Onion Rings in the area, throw in a Stella and I'm good to go! The melt was excellent as usual, and the onion rings were no different. They offer some nice lunch options, including 1/2 sandwich with soup. And they have a nice selection of sandwiches, daily specials, and more. This definitely is a neighborhood spot, not exactly Cheers, but regulars abound, and if you are not one, any engagement from the staff is limited. I have no problem with that, I did not come to have lunch with the staff, simply to have lunch. Some may feel my last comment was a bit pissy, but I'll stay with it. I do recommend this place, especially for their sandwiches and salads.

    The service and food are always consistently great at Davie Tavern! They also have a great bar selection and while you are trying decide what to eat, ensure that you don't skip over the pork special, salmon, or steaks! The inside is fairly small and always clean. They do take reservations if you want to ensure little to no wait for your dining.

    Update 1/10/23 Mae and I stoped in for a quick dinner. We hadn't been here in a while and it really has become a reliable eatery in this part of the county. We were seated quickly as always. The restaurant was pretty full. It was cozy warm and the hum of table conversations was quite calming. Our server was friendly and efficient. Mae got the Buffalo chicken wrap with fries and I got the Tavern Burger with garlic mashed potatoes. Mae told me to order those because she wanted them but wanted fries also. TEENAGE DAUGHTERS! Our food came out quickly and was made according to our specs. The food was very good. Mae ate her whole wrap which is unusual because she usually only eats half at other places. Her fries were, well, fries with seasoning and were tasty. My burger was excellent. Medium patty with smoked gouda, garlic Mayo, and bacon jam. The garlic mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious. I can see why my daughter wanted me to order them. They were homemade, skin on. Great garlic flavor. But not overwhelming. You need to order these. Once again, another great visit to Davie. Tavern. If you haven't been, you really need to give them a try.

    My friend and I visited this spot for a quick lunch during a soccer tournament and had a good experience. I ordered a beer and the half sandwich & soup or salad combo. I went with the club sandwich and a salad. I enjoyed the service and good food.

    We bookmarked Davie Tavern some time ago and today we were in the area and decided to check it out for a late lunch. It is located in the same shopping center as Food Lion in Advance. There is an outdoor patio area under the front covered entrance that would be nice when the weather is warmer. We stepped inside and were immediately greeted and taken to one of the available tables. There is a small bar area to the left with bar only seating and then in the main dining area there are probably 20-25 tables and booths. Our server, Catherine, stopped, took our drink orders and provided us with menus. We began looking over the menu and were impressed with the overall selections and the prices seemed reasonable as well. We asked Catherine about the appetizers and she highly recommended the onion rings. We absolutely love a good, hand breaded onion ring so it was an easy sell. We proceeded to ask a few questions about the menu and she told us her favorite sandwich is the Carolina Hot Honey Fried Chicken. My wife hadn't even seen that on the menu and the combination of hand breaded chicken and honey sounded delicious! I chose the Patty Melt and was happy to pay the $1.00 upcharge for Macaroni and Cheese as a side. Our onion rings came out in a timely manner and WOW, they looked absolutely delicious! The amount of onion rings was impressive too, they do not skimp on the quantity. Hot, crunchy and simply delicious! Catherine brought our entrees a short time later and we were really impressed. Our expectations on the mac and cheese were exceeded when a large cast iron bowl arrived on the plate with the patty melt. It looked creamy and delicious and it tasted as good as it looked. I also really enjoyed the patty melt too. My wife's chicken sandwich also looked great and because it was served open faced she opted to simply eat the chicken with honey but it is served with slaw, pickle and a nicely toasted bun as well. Overall, we were really impressed. We will absolutely be back. Catherine told us they serve brunch on Sundays from 10am-3pm as well.

    Nice little place! We got there a little after 5:00. It filled up quickly! Our waitress was very good. She made sure drinks were always full. (Not up to snuff completely on the beers but still good). We decided to try the onion rings. They were huge! If you didn't know, you would think they were donuts! Could have been slightly less fried to make them even better. I got the shrimp and grits. Amazing! The sauce has a bit of kick from the Texas Pete in it. The grits are from Guilford Mill and super creamy. I like when small businesses support each other and keep things local. I would go back!

    This is one of my favorite dining spot. The food has always been great. The staff are all spectacular and will make you feel so welcome. There is usually a sheet listing the daily specials besides the standard menu. Be sure to ask for this. Wish the restaurant would post the daily specials on social media sites as I am sure I am missing out on some good eating.

    Davie tavern is a consistent win. We've visited a few times now and always found the food great, service welcoming, and prices valuable. I didn't expect the wings to be this good, though. I'm adding them to my favorite wings in Winston area list. I went with the bourbon teriyaki sauce. I picked up all the good teriyaki flavors with some sweet smooth bourbon. The wings were cooked perfectly.

Our waiter soon arrived to take our drink order while we waited for our friends. When they arrived they had one extra person and the waiter immediately moved us to a bigger table without hesitation. He gave us a few minutes to review the menu while we decided what to eat. The margarita specials are great for all you drinkers. They also have non alcoholic drinks for the drivers and non drinkers. Drinks are big thou they are packed with ice. Food selection is pretty diverse as they have e something for everyone's taste. They also offer some great value specials for those on a budget. We started with the trio appetizer, doubling up on the chicken wonton tacos and some fried pickles. The wontons were actually really good and not a bad combination of ingredients. The fried pickles were in strips which was different. They were a bit salty but then again it's pickles! My friend got the cheeseburger wonton tacos. She thought it was a bit spicy but they were perfect for me. I would order those next time. My wife got the sweet Asian chili wings, she was bummed that she only got drumsticks and not one wing.....lol. She did like the ratio of sweet and spicy on them. I got the lemon chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli, that's right, this fat guy ate healthy for once! The chicken was not overcooked and you could definitely taste the lemon in every bite. It was a big piece too so it filled me up. Broccoli was soft and tender and the mashed potatoes had soaked up the juices from the chicken so it made them that much better. Wifey liked the margarita so I will take her word on it. Overall great experience. Had not been here in a minute. The menu pictures definitely make you want to come back and the service today was great. Give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed!

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

My hamburger steak and the biscuits were very good this time even though my broccoli side was lacking, Dad enjoyed his pancakes and particularly his fried eggs as well. Going with 4 stars but only because the visit deserves more than 3 stars for some of the food, again really want to go with 3.5 stars if I could. The Deets: When visiting the folks for the Father's Day weekend, Dad said he wanted to head by Cracker Barrel and get some pancakes for a late brunch so we stopped the nearest one over in Clemmons. It's been years since I visited this location, and honestly, really nothing much has changed from what I remember. It is the same basic formula with the country store area as you enter and then you go to the host desk to the side for the dining area. Luckily since we were stopping by a bit later even for a lunch, the crowd had left for the most part and we were seated promptly. Again, everything in the seating area is the same and could really use some TLC (lots of dust on the ceiling fans, more than a rustic type of appearance that could use a refresh, etc.) Our server was very nice in letting us having a few extra minutes to take in both the breakfast and lunch/dinner menus so we could decided what we wanted to go with today. Dad stuck with his pancakes, adding fried eggs and sausage. Mom got the Old Timers Breakfast menu selection, and I decided on the hamburger steak with two sides of steak fries/steamed broccoli. I enjoyed my coffee as we waited for our meals. Once they arrived, Dad really enjoyed his pancakes and particularly complimented the fried eggs. Mom was OK with her breakfast, nothing extraordinary or bad noted from her. My hamburger steak was really good, not dried out and plenty of flavor, I enjoyed it. My mother and I really liked the biscuits, baked just right. Steak fries were OK, but there were a good number of them extra greasy though. My steamed broccoli was cooked just a bit too long, not very much crunch left to it and pretty bland (Mom tasted and agreed with the latter). I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars for this visit, I really wish I could give 3.5 stars here. In looking at everything, I really think in the long run they deserve more than 3 stars with the good hamburger steak and biscuits as well as Dad really enjoying his pancakes/fried eggs so I will go with 4 stars, just knowing I feel like 3.5 stars honestly.

    I have to be honest. I was surprised at the low reviews this place has received. I was there around…read more2:45 on a Saturday afternoon (10/06/2024), and the service was fine. Nothing I'd write home about - my server was actually standing outside chatting with someone for 2-3 minutes while I was waiting for someone to seat me (I didn't see anyone at all in the restaurant until I peaked into the kitchen and another server saw me) - but I wouldn't call the service bad at all. But the food? I ordered the pancake combo - two blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and hashed browns - and everything was great. Whoever cooked my food did a really good job. The scrambled eggs were seasoned just enough, but not too much, that I didn't need to add any salt, and the hashed browns were perfection. Once I started eating, I thought, "Oh yeah, I'll be back again." I live about thirty minutes from Clemmons in Lexington, but I drove there specifically to shop at Publix. Now that I know the IHOP in Clemmons is so good, I'll definitely return soon. I thought the restaurant itself was extremely clean, well lit, and inviting. The one extremely minor complaint I had was that the pancakes were served on a plate barely as big as the pancakes. If I had wanted to add syrup, most of the syrup would have ended up on the table. Oh yeah, the coffee was also really, really good. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but their house blend is just about perfect. All in all, I'm very happy with giving this place a 5-star rating. When I go out to eat, above all else I want to be happy with the food I get. Unfortunately, more than half of the time I'm disappointed (and even when I'm not, I'm often okay with the food but wouldn't eat it again). I would definitely go back to this IHOP again, though. In my experience, IHOPs tend to vary pretty greatly when it comes to quality, and this one is definitely one of the better/best ones I've eaten at.
