202604241618 Parking's can be tricky. Maybe you'll luck out & be able to park in one of the coveted six spaces behind the restaurant. Otherwise park further behind or across street & short walk over. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's an old converted gas station on the corner. Majority of seating is outside. There's some inside seating & a bar inside. Old gas station style bathrooms outside & around the corner[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a stage for events. Appears to be pet friendly. Nice view of Main Street with shops, desserts & boutiques. You can watch both people & vehicle traffic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Service is quick, quiet & friendly. Lots of specialty drinks to choose from. Food is really good. The Smokehouse Burger is prepared to order with bacon, fried onion rings, melted cheese, tender, juicy, delicious. When you're done, walk up one side & down the other to walk that food off & get yourself ready for dessert. Enjoy! read more

The good first. The burgers were very good. My wife and I enjoyed the burgers very much. Tasty, hot. While we were greeted and seated quickly, the service was subpar. The establish was not busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables were sticky and had visible signs of glass rings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For not being busy, it took a considerable amount of time for the food to come out. While my food was very good, the wife had fries that were cold. We were served food without any utensils or napkins. It took 8 minutes for utensils to arrive and one napkin each. We asked for more napkins, which never came. My wife mentioned the cold fries and she was brought another serving of equally cold fries. When we were finished, I asked the server for a couple to go boxes. We received one and had to ask for more; eventually getting one more box. It took an additional 10 minutes to get the check, and another 10 to have it retrieved with the credit card. The neighboring table was also dealing with cold fries. read more

It was ok Nothing special Fish taco tortillas were hard tough and chewy! Hush puppies were about 1/3 the size of a hush puppy and therefore overpriced for what you get [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was busy so i had good feelings going in only to be highly disappointed!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The staff and food were great. Loved the dog friendly environment! The waitress made sure our dogs had plenty of water and that the humans were hydrated too. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat out on the patio in the sunshine which was lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was good music playing and our waiter was attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I left off one star because I have to say the chicken quesadilla I ordered was strangely flavorless. Not bad, just not great. Might need to season the chicken more and use a more flavorful cheese? I dunno, I'm not the expert! My bf liked his burger and the fries were good. I'd def go back for the vibes and try something different. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Oh, also....the bathroom is tiny, which is fine, but they have a HUGE open topped garbage can in front of the toilet and it was a little too close to my face.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It was lunch hour on Jan 2 and the crowd was decent, we arrived at 12:25ish and our party of four was seated fairly quickly. Service was a bit slow, but we figured that was due to the crowd. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is much more divey than the Greenville, SC location, but it is noted that this is a bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is also noted that this is an outdoor bar, more so than an indoor bar, since the two garage doors open the indoor space to a very ample out door space with private and community tables as well as a small bandstand.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can sense that on a pretty spring or summer day/evening, this is a much more comfortable dining spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our order was taken and three of our four ordered the Brisket Dip. The problem comes when we have waited at least twenty minutes past our order to be informed that "we are out of brisket for at least 45 to 50 minutes." We reordered burgers. Requested to be put at the top or closer to it on the cook station rather than to have to wait even longer. It was still pretty slow, but we were not in a particular hurry. It was merely the inconvenience and the timing that was very off-putting and there was no consideration to offer a complimentary drink or dessert or really anything other than, "what else would you like?" The thing is that we didn't get this information until more than 20 minutes after ordering. So it was not the waiters fault, it was poor communication from the kitchen to the waitstaff. However, with brisket being a featured and popular sandwich, with brisket nachos and a brisket burger and brisket tacos also all on the menu, this is a serious mid-day poor execution for the kitchen. One of our dinner guest didn't get his tots order and was given some black beans instead, when the food arrived, and then was brought a separate order of tots that looked as if 3/4 of them were older and got a second drop in the oil to refresh them, at least compared to my fresh tot order. The burgers were all decent. My medium burger was cooked well done though. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It felt an awful lot like this restaurant was having an off day and unfortunately it was a busy day and I suppose following NYE things were not running as smoothly as normal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Our server was good, but she was very busy so sometimes we didn't see her. Our food came out hot and it was very well seasoned. Our drinks were pretty good and we met some of the locals even met the owners of hunkers vodka. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall nice place, especially to stop and eat. Sports bar for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed our visit. read more

Took my daughter to Universal Joint for her birthday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was superb.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried the Smash Burger, Brisket Nachos, and Blackened Fish Tacos. Everything was excellent!

We came to Clayton as a stop and had lunch at this place, that is located right on Main Street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a casual vibe and we were attracted to the large outdoor seating area they had. It is covered and there are fans as it was pretty hot the day we were there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was attentive, but took some time getting to us as it was pretty busy. The menu has some great options and I ended up going with the Brisket Dip. The sandwich was hearty and was cut in half, making it easy to dip. The roll was nice and soft and it came with a side, which I chose to be tater tots. You got a lot of those with your meal, which came out quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was clean as well and we were in and out in a decent time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This restaurant has an interesting menu. Lots of burgers and salads as well as few unique dishes. Service was ok and so were the prices. I had a Greek side salad that was small in size but did have a lot of variety in toppings. I also ordered the pimento cheese plate. It was a lot more than I expected. It had a great flavor and the seasoning on the cucumbers was great. I would definitely order it again. At the table an order of tacos and a burger were also ordered and enjoyed. The table loved their tater tots. The overall experience was pretty good. I would likely come back. read more

This place is on a steady decline. Beer selection is not what it used to be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus the place could stand a good cleaning. Inside dining area looks filthy....I don't even want to think how the kitchen must look!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's like they just stopped trying!!! read more

PSA: IF you ask for no lettuce, tomato, onion and most importantly pickle, the waitress might correct you by saying "next time you can just say no garden" and the burger will show up inedible, smothered in pickle juice read more

It has been a while since we have been here and I recall the burger I had was good, but today was a joke! Chicken tenders were clearly frozen crap you buy at Walmart. Hub ordered chicken tacos and it was same tenders chopped up--at premium prices. They wanted $12 for a garden salad. Service was good, [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambience is pub with music too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just stick with the overpriced burgers I guess‍ read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Was fairly busy for a Monday at lunchtime![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was scarce but it was definitely busy, our waiter had tables inside and out so he was running around. Chicken tacos were delightful. In and out quickly. read more

Our party of 6 was surprisingly seated quickly at 7pm on a Friday, probably because it was rainy and the main draw is the outdoor seating area. I regret not getting pics of the food, but the quesadilla, turkey pita, and grilled chicken salad we ordered were all presented well and delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and made sure that our glasses stayed full and we had everything we needed. Meals were in the $13-$20 range, so very affordable for ballin' on a budget. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also enjoyed playing some songs on the remote jukebox app.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will stop back in again to try out some drink specials. read more

Great food,great service! We've dropped in for lunch and was not disappointed! If you get a chance to drop in I recommend it!

Great food. Good location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pet friendly outdoor dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We loved it. Definitely would recommend.

Stopped here after a hike to pinnacle knob. It's in downtown Clayton and you would need to find street parking. They have a great draft selection with local beer, craft beer and also German beer like paulaner and my favorite Guinness at fantastic prices. My friends tried their burgers and they were all happy with the brisket and Swiss mushroom options. read more

Have been here for lunch and it was ok, so we tried it for dinner on the patio for the evening ambiance. The clueless waiter didn't seem to mind the table was filthy. Our first clue. Ordered fish tacos with fries. Should have noticed the 2nd clue when the menu didn't say fresh fish tacos. It was clear the tilapia was picked up at the Walmart freezer along with the frozen chicken cutlets. I've had better fries from a leftover McDonald's happy meal. It was like they wanted to finish up the lunch fries before serving fresh cooked fries to the dinner crowd. When I politely complained about the cold soggy fries, the clueless waiter just grunted and shrugged...great company representative that hasn't been trained about customer satisfaction and how that impacts repeat business, and his gratuity. read more

The burgers are amazing! Unfortunately I didn't get a burger. The BLT with pimento cheese was not bad, but not a burger. The tots are pretty amazing and the staff is very friendly! read more

Our family came here for dinner while visiting Black Rock mountain. There is plenty of parking in the public lot right behind the restaurant. Came on a Monday evening and wasn't crowded at all and was immediately seated. There's tons of seating outside. Prices were very reasonable and portions are good. Food was also all tasty. Service was also on spot. Glad we stopped by and will definitely come back next time we visit Black Rock mountain again. read more

Located in Downtown Clayton. You will need to find street parking or parking in a lot available kind of behind them. The food was really great. I recommend stopping here right after some wine tastings. The PBAT is what I got and it's a sandwich with pimento, tomato, bacon, and arugula. It's really great. Staff is really nice but a bit slow paced. You can sit inside or outside. Dogs are welcomed on the patio! It's a very casual place to grab lunch at with live music. It's a great place to stop while in town! read more

They were very busy, as it was July 4 week. But we were able to get a seat inside as soon as we walked up. Our waitress was extremely busy, so one of the hostesses helped her out and took our order. Everyone was very nice, our food came quickly, and it was delicious. We loved the fact that it was a refurbished gas station. Great location. Highly recommend. I also love that they honor Veterans. read more

Service = outstanding! Burger & fries = mediocre at best I've heard the fish tacos are really good. Maybe try that next time read more

We ordered salads, kids burgers and chicken salad sandwich. All were great and came out super fast. Kids enjoyed games on the stage.

We have dined at this location before. Unfortunately this last time was a giant disappointment. The server acted like she didn't want to be there. She took our order and then disappeared. Only half of our meals came out. We had to follow up with another waitress to get the rest of our order. No apologies. No compensation. Food was horrible. Very disappointing. read more

This place looks pretty neat on the outside. There was a lit up gas pump behind the host stand, and some art on the window outside. There is an extensive outdoor seating area. We had dog with us so we sat outside for late dinner. My sister is gluten intolerant, so she ate off the gluten-free menu. She had the impossible burger firecracker style with tater tots. She said it was delicious! I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich which came on a brioche bun. I like that the chicken was grilled, but there wasn't much of it compared to the bun. It was still pretty good, though. My mom had the blackened flounder tacos with corn tortillas, and she thought it would have been better as a salad. The tortillas were floppy and fell apart quickly. There was a nice beer list and the drinks sounded good though we did not partake. The menu is online, but be aware that the draft beer was priced differently online than in store. read more

Everything was great! Wings were hot and tasty. Friends shared a nacho plate and enjoyed it.

We ate here for dinner. It was raining so we ate inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice outdoor dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Reviews looked good. My wife and I had hamburgers with sweet potato fries. The food was okay. It was bar food and nothing special. I felt like there was an excess of smoke flavoring added to the burger. The service was okay but slow. There was one person waiting tables and when we got there the crowd was picking up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was too loud and varied from good rock to head-banging screaming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have one of those TouchTune systems. Would not eat here again. read more

Stopped in to this refurbished gas station because Yelp said it was good. Food was ok. I had the fish taco's. Blackened does not mean dried out!! My husband said the burger was great. Don't expect anything fabulous with the tots. Have no idea why there are so many reviews that they are great. Service was fair. The bathroom is what did it for me. I have never seen anything, including gas station bathrooms, that looked so disgusting. I'll neve return. Take care of your bathrooms!!! read more

My wife, daughter and I drone to the Clayton location for dinner last evening. We have frequented the Lawrenceville and Claytons due to the excellent food and service. Unfortunately the food was well below par on our visit. We ordered 3 burgers and all were overcooked, Additionally 2 of the 3 side dishes (tots & fries) were undercooked were cod when served. While service was attentive the poor food quality will makes me question returning given the quality restaurant offerings in Clayton. read more

Food was great. Service was good. Pretty crowded for indoor seating. I got the wrong side but they adjusted our bill quickly. .

OMG.. .this place is da'bomb. In an old gas ration with soooooo much charm. Inside and outside seating. Service is 150% some of the best I've ever had. Sara P. was incredible. She made great recommendation and was there for us exactly when needed So perfect! Everything is quick. Seating, drinks, appetizer and meal came out lickedity split even though they were almost at capacity inside (too cold for outdoor seating). Parking is on the street and we found plenty as. We tried the BBQ brisket nachos which is an appetizer for about ten (not really but it is huge). You can then split your favorite entree. We went with a burger and tots. Everything was perfect and reiterating the service was fabulous. We traveled all the way from Tallulah Gorge and were so glad we did. Great recommendation by the ranger there! read more
