Clayton Steakhouse: Unrivaled Dining Experience in Clayton, NC

Hands down the best steak and service around, there isn't even a close second. If you've never dined at the Clayton Steakhouse, do yourself a favor, you will not be disappointed. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and taken to our table (it was Mother's Day, so we had a reservation). We've eaten here a few times, it doesn't matter what you order it's always cooked to perfection. No other establishment can rival their salad bar, if they don't have it, you don't need it. For Mother's Day they offered a shrimp cocktail appetizer, it was excellent and the shrimp were huge. We both ordered ribeye, which were cooked to perfection. You can tell it's a "family" environment, the servers all help one another, are very knowledgeable about the menu and always very pleasant. Their bar tenders are top notch and the consistency of their cocktails never changes. They have a large selection of bourbon, some great specialty drinks and an ample choice of draught beer. The Clayton Steakhouse is the perfect location for a quick lunch or a dinner meal.

The service was splendid, I don’t want to give a bad impression of this facility. There was a mix up of our food. But our waitress and the manager accommodated my wife and I. This was our 8 year anniversary celebration. This place made it to our top five steak restaurants. The flavor was awesome and those twice baked loaded potatoes, nothing else needs to be said. And the atmosphere was great.

While the service was top notch, unfortunately the food didn’t meet expectations, especially for the price. We enjoyed the salad bar and desserts, but my filet was tough, my mom’s steak was undercooked, and my dad’s steak was a hockey puck. Texas toast seemed straight out the freezer. Would be nice to have fresher bread, rolls, something. We still had a good evening but certainly didn’t live up to the hype.

Awesome low key steakhouse right in heart of Clayton. This is a very unassuming place, quite casual, but with excellent high-end food. We each ordered steak amd each was cooked perfectly amd was delicious. And most meals come with unlimited salad bar which is healthy and good. Would recommend this place amd would go there again next time we are in town.

We had 4 adults and a 2 yo. Food was very good. Two got steaks which were excellent. One got salmon which was very good. One got a burger which was excellent. Desserts are made in house and are excellent. Two glasses of wine and one appetizer. They have a salad bar that some meals come with. Our total cost was 185.00. Our server was very nice, attentive and helpful and gave spot on recommendations.We made a reservation the day before but had to take a 5pm seating. That was fine with a 2yo. The place opens at 5pm and there was a line of people at the door with reservations. We were seated fast and efficiently so not a big deal at all. I would recommend a reservation. Food came out pretty fast. I was expecting a fancier interior but that’s on me. I would definitely go back.

Friend took his mom out for her birthday here! We had a grand time and wonderful service thanks to our server Erica! 10/10! Would come here again! ALSO unlimited salad bar is definitely a big plus. We loved the vibes in here too.

Perfect lunch spot. Able to carry a conversation. I ordered the Ribeye Steak sandwich, cook perfectly, tender, and juicy. The side salad added this breath of freshness. My friend got the burger with those scrumptious broasted potatoes crispy, seasoned outside and buttery inside. He stayed the most excellent potatoes he's had in a long time.

Had the pleasure of enjoying a social event and fundraiser at Clayton steakhouse. It was a very pleasurable experience. The food and service was very good. The bourbon selection and cocktail menu were great! The staff and establishment were very gracious in having us there for this event and we are quite thankful for them. You should definitely have dinner and a drink here if this is something you have yet to do!
