Manning's Restaurant

Just wanted to pop on and 'update' my review specifically to give a shout out to Angela. Angela was our server this afternoon and was fantastic! Very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was great, as always. My husband had the drunken chicken sandwich, I had the chicken bacon avocado sandwich and we couldn't leave without a delicious apple tart.

Tried to use a gift card we were given to get a to go order, online ordering wouldn't accept it. Tried calling, on hold for over 10 minutes in a queue, only to get an answering machine. Called back, and after ANOTHER 8+ minutes, the person hung up on me when I was trying to give her my order.If it wasn't for the fact we are moving out of state later this week, I would have given up. Drove 15 minutes to the restaurant, walked in, no one waiting for a table(why was the wait on the phone so long?) Placed my order, now waiting to get it..This isn't our first time patronizing this establishment, and while it's "ok", I certainly think they can do better... especially their phone service.Reservations are necessary for dine in, but I do NOT recommend trying to call for takeout. Extremely frustrating experience.

I decided to venture out for dinner. The restaurant was clean and decently lit. I ordered the fresh catch of the day. The entree was Cajun filet Red Snapper, shrimp, mash potatoes and zucchini and spinach. This entree was everything and all things deliciousness in every bite. I wanted to savor this taste, so I took my leftovers home. The service was great. I look forward to coming back again.

This was a date night spot for us and the suggestion was a job well done; many kudos to the restaurant and our waitress, Angela.When you first walk in, you're greeted promptly by your hostess. They have a small bar area, so it can be a bit packed in that area depending on the night. It was a small space in my opinion, but it was welcoming. I prefer a smaller eatery, than large. Crab Cake Sandwich: Whenever I see crab cakes on the menu, I play the guessing game. To cut back on the cost, some places will use more bread crumbs and less crab. Ordering crab cakes is like the box of chocolates Forest Gump told us about; you never know what you're going to get. I gave Angela, our waitress, three options and asked what she suggested. Number one, the crab cake! The crab cake was full of crab and was seasoned very well, I was a happy camper. It is something I'd get over and over, but that's after I try some of the other things on their menu. How do you review a side salad? Well, I can say, I LOVED the fact they piled on the purple onions, I can't eat enough of those. For me, the Mojito fell flat and I don't think I'd get it again. Overall, I love this little place and can't wait to head back.

Loved this place! Loved the town of Clayton :-) had Nate was our bartender and he was delightful. We ordered a dip and he said I highly recommend you get half an order because it's huge and you're getting chicken wings. Great suggestion!! Yes- the 1/2 order of dip was more than adequate for my husband and I! It was also delicious as were roasted in the oven wings :-) can't wait to go back!

Went here for a special birthday dinner & was so happy with the meal. The crab dip appetizer is amazing & the steak melts in your mouth. Our waitress was wonderful.

The service is absolutely perfect all the restaurant employees I've encountered are helpful, friendly, and treat me as a guest in their home. I highly recommend this restaurant. Almost forgot the food is good good makes you want to slap somebody for not telling you to eat here sooner. When I say good I mean amazing fantabulous!!!! I've tried several dishes and they are all fire. The pork chop yum delicious the spinach artichoke dip will have you licking spoons and bowls. lol

I was in town for work and my buddies recommended this local gem. The ribeye egg rolls were crunchy with a pop of spice and brilliantly flavored meat. The Big Bad Bacon BBQ and Brisket Burger was so big it came out open faced! This is a carnivore's dream. The staff were friendly and attentive. And it felt like a home town pub. Definitely recommend!

The egg rolls are perfection, the salads, again, great, the bar was lively and had great cocktails, we came in at 5:45 on Friday night and were immediately seated, the server was great, it's a bit loud, but lively and enjoyable. The salmon is excellent, the special sea bass was extraordinary. I hate that I live 5 hours away!!!

Our first experience at Mannings was wonderful!!! We did take out but our order was over $100 and everything tasted great! The reason our experience was so over the top was because of McKinley's amazing attitude! She was welcoming, friendly and as the hostess you could not have a better first contact! Thank you McKinley was your kindness which is hard to find these days. We will be back to Mannings.
