Pete's is such a yummy restaurant. We prefer their breakfast over other meals there. The biscuits are delicious. Eggs and bacon cooked perfectly. Home fries are great-but pro tip: ask for them to be deep fried in the fryer. Makes them so crispy and even more delicious! Pete's wait staff are really good too. They're always friendly and welcoming.

Bottom line: Pete's Family Restaurant delivers in a wonderful diner style/family restaurant type experience. In rating along other diner like places, this one stands out in the area. Very friendly and upbeat service this visit and the daily special hamburger steak with sides chosen hit the bullseye with me. Delicious and satisfying...I had a great visit. The Deets:While on a visit to the family, we decided to give Pete's Family Restaurant in Clemmons a try. Inside was a nicely decorated, clean, and neat family restaurant type atmosphere. There was no wait mid-afternoon and we were immediately shown to a nice booth and given menus to peruse. They have a big menu with a great diner-like selection of starters, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, entrees, and specials. Our very friendly and upbeat server (loved her very positive attitude and demeanor!) was on top of getting drinks orders taken and checking for any questions about the menu. I chose one of the specials of the day in the hamburger steak (ordered without the grilled onions). This hamburger steak was delicious and flavorful even without the onions, I enjoyed this meal very much...even the fries were almost perfect for my tastes. I ordered a cup of their soup of the day, potato, as it sounded great as one of my faves and I was not disappointed...very good soup with lots of flavor without going overboard with seasoning. My family ordered another of the day's specials of pork chops and also the soup with salad, they enjoyed their meals a lot also they said. If I was nick-picking anything, it would have been I did not get a refill of my iced tea during my meal and my mac-n-cheese did not hit the mark with me (although not bad). However that would be a 4.5 star experience in my eyes with rating this restaurant in line with diner style eateries, and I definitely go 5 stars with the server's amazingly upbeat presence. I am glad we tried Pete's Family Restaurant and I am looked forward to more visits in the future.

Consistency is key and well, Pete's is right on every time! Eggs cooked just right, amazing tenderloin, or go for lunch and try the shrimp and flounder which is definitely the best in the area! Sit in Amy's section and enjoy the outstanding service with a smile and I can't say I have ever had bad service here. The inside is always kept clean and even when there's a small wait, tables are turned quickly.

Maddie, I don't think waiting tables is your forte. But the rest of the staff is excellent.

My three positives and a negative because the world needs more positivity:+ you have to love a local joint where it seems like more than half the customers are staunch regulars + the chicken biscuit was fabulous. Seriously. Perfectly country fried with the flakiest biscuit + I adore that our waitress asked if we wanted a soda to go. Yes, please!- I wanted to try the sausage gravy so got a sausage and cheese biscuit with a side of gravy. While it was tasty the presentation left a lot to be desired. At least melt the cheese a touch

I have eaten at Pete's several times over the last year and thought it time to update my review. Little if anything has changed at this neighborhood diner that has been serving primarily classic Southern comfort food, as well as a few Greek choices, for over 45 years. They serve 3 meals a day, six days a week, just like their competition 1/4 miles away- that would be Clemmons Kitchen.The breakfast items here are the usual choices, and all are done well, and the pricing is more than reasonable, and remained that way even when the price of eggs was thru the roof. Their daily lunch specials also offer quality and value.The only complaint I have here is that the service can spotty. You are requested to seat yourself and when the restaurant is busy your waitress may not spot you right away - this has happened to me more than once. The last time I ate here (for breakfast), my order was over 25 minutes coming out of the kitchen, and everything was cold - eggs, grits, even the toast! My waitress disappeared for long stretches, and I finally had to ask someone to find her so I could get my check. Haven't been back since - I go around the corner where the service is much better!

This mom & pop favorite is always good. Best fried seafood around! Salt and Pepper catfish is perfectly seasoned and fried popcorn shrimp are good sized and always crispy and hot.

We were in the area and wanted to grab some breakfast. My wife did a little searching on Yelp and came up with Pete's. We were impressed by all the positive reviews and saw they had been in business since 1977! Pete's is located at the end of a strip mall with ample parking. The exterior appears to be well taken care of. The inside is very open with a lot of various sized tables organized throughout. Most tables were occupied and we put our name on the list. There were a few people waiting to be seated. As we waited our turn, we could tell there were alot of local customers. Many of the employees appeared to know the customers and greeted many of them by name. We were called within 10 minutes or so and seated at a booth. Our waitress quickly stopped to provide us menus and waters. We began to look over the menu. The breakfast menu size is smaller than most but they offer a variety of breakfast options ranging from bacon and eggs to pancakes, to breakfast sandwiches, etc.My wife was impressed to see the price of the steak and eggs so she decided to order that. For her sides, she chose gravy and toast. She knew I would help with that. I chose a breakfast sandwich with sausage, cheese and egg on an english muffin with a side of home fries. Our waitress came back a few minutes later to apologize and let us know they had run out of ribeye. So my wife decided to order the country ham instead. She was a little bummed since she doesn't normally order steak and eggs but when the ham arrived she was happy with it.Our food was tasty and we both enjoyed our meals. We both left full, the service was perfect and the food was homecooked goodness. When the server dropped off the bill we were amazed, it is very, very reasonable. Overall, this was a great experience and we are glad we checked it out. We will be back! We want to check out their lunch and dinner menu.

As a loyal customer of Pete's Family Restaurant, I had been a dedicated customer and influenced other people including co-workers to go there. I decided to try something new, so I asked the waitress if people were impressed by the spaghetti and meatballs. She replied that it was very popular, so I decided to try it. I soon realized that her appraisal was not an honest one and that she probably has no choice but to say that regardless. The dish was simply a can of Texas Pete Hot Dog Chili poured over Spaghetti. I took one greasy bite and told the waitress that I didn't like it or want it. I asked her to ask the manager to take it off bill. The mgr said that there was nothing wrong with it, so NO!! Don't get the spaghetti and meatballs folks!!
