Diverse menu, fantastic food, and be sure to ask to sit in Debbie’s section — she’s amazing!

amazing service amazing friendly staff. I recommend it highly.

This place was great. Not from NC, just visiting my dad. What I loved about this place is that you are not packed into the restaurant. Many places have tables so close to each other, but Mannings was very spacious. It’s a very nice restaurant. Service was great. The waiter checked on us a perfect amount of times. And finally, the food was awesome. I got the pimento pretzel bun burger and added some mushrooms. It was top notch. The fries were also fantastic, had the perfect crispness to them. Next time I’m in NC I will definitely visit again.

Loved our waiter Mackie but the grilled wings was just chicken breast nuggets maybe half of one breast and was mediocre. Livers were good on grits but cocktails are so pricey. $14 for just ok Margarita is crazy. Even more than Revival and they are awesome .This place is just ok.

Picked Manning's because they were open at 3:30 on a Friday. Service was great. Husband had the best burger he's ever had with the Big Bad Bacon BBQ & Brisket Burger. We even got some BBQ sauce to go.

was impressed with their welcoming and wide-open dining room that delivers an upscale country vibe. I would say they have brought a fine dining experience to Clayton.The staff welcomed us the minute we walked in the door, they are very personable and full of personality, something I would hope to get in a small town like Clayton. There is definitely no stale service here.They offer an impressive menu and if you don't try a few starters while your there, you're missing out. The cheese fries are wonderful and filling, but even more impressive were the crispy ribeye eggrolls. The combination of a quality shaved ribeye with their house blend of melted cheese was phenomenal and just as good the next day for leftovers!I enjoyed the "Jennifer's Filet" entree, they served a good cut of beef, unfortunately it was cooked closer to medium rare than I hoped. Unfortunately, I was unable to see the rooftop patio, but from what I understand it is quite large and where we will be dining on our next visit, in the spring of course.Cheers!

Fast service and awesome food. The Shrimp and Grits was amazing and the Catfish sliders were out of the world!!! First time diner and I will definitely be going back. Can't wait!!!

The spinach dip is a MUST have every time I visit! Gumbo was delicious, as always! Love the laid back environment and delicious meals to choose from. Love to support small, local businesses such as this one!

Great food and drinks. Excellent service.

We had a business meeting here last week, the room was nice but, the server took our order and forgot to put in my wife's, I my order was not correct.
