Eats In Clemmons!

FULL MOON OYSTER BAR: OYSTERS

1473 River Ridge Drive • 336.712.8200

Mon – Thurs 4 – 10pm, Fri – Sat 11:30am – 10:30pm,

Sun 11:30am – 9pm

As the name implies, this is the place to get fresh oysters. This is the place to go when you want fresh oysters, but you have to go to work the next day and can’t take the time to go to the beach. Don’t be sad though – the décor alone will conjure feelings of being at the coast.

Oysters are prepared in a variety of ways, and you won’t be disappointed by any of them.

MOUNTAIN FRIED CHICKEN: FRIED CHICKEN

6409 Sessions Court • 336.712.9311

Daily 10:30am – 9pm

Few things speak “Southern Dining” better than good ‘ole fried chicken. And, Mountain

Fried Chicken knows how to do it right without being greasy. Tender and full of avor, this is fried chicken that is perfectly breaded and very meaty! If food is the way to a person’s heart, this one might just be love at rst bite.

MARIO’S PIZZA: PIZZA

1469 River Ridge Drive • 336.778.2002

Mon – Thurs 11am – 9pm, Fri – Sat 11am – 9:30pm, Sun 12pm – 8pm

If you’re looking for authentic Italian pizza, visit Mario’s. Each pizza is hand-tossed, and the dough is a conversation all on its own. But, suf ce it to say, it’s a phenomenal crust topped with fresh ingredients.

Order by the slice, or take a friend to share a pizza (these are BIG pizzas!).

TIME TO EAT: CHEERWINE ICE CREAM

2570 Lewisville-Clemmons Road • 336.712.1050 Sun – Thurs 11am – 9 pm, Fri – Sat 11am – 10pm

North Carolinians love to boast about being the home to Cheerwine. Since 1917, this cherry avored soft drink has been a favorite. When Time to Eat decided to create the Cheerwine Ice Cream, they really stepped up their game and made every true North Carolinian proud.

1615 Lewisville-Clemmons

Road • 336.766.5822

Mon – Thurs 4-10pm, Fri – Sat 11am – 10pm, Sun 11am – 9pm

Ronni’s has been a local favorite for YEARS…I won’t tell you how long, but to suf ce it, I remember visiting during my high school days, way back when. And, Ronni’s has always been known for the best hot wings in town! Their signature dish is messy and avorful and accompanied by fresh celery and yummy blue cheese. It’s everything that’s right about hot wings and whether you eat a few or you eat a dozen (or more – I won’t judge)…you’re in for a treat!

CHANG THAI: PAD THAI

4160 Clemmons Road, #4162 • 336.778.0338

Mon – Fri 11am – 9:30pm (closed 3-5pm) Sat – Sun 12 – 9:30pm

When it comes to authentic Thai, it’s hard to go wrong with traditional Pad Thai. Whether you choose beef, chicken, shrimp or pork – this is a favorite for good reason. And,

Chang Thai knows how to make it right!

Bursting with avor, Chang Thai offers generous portions which means there’s enough to have for lunch the next day!

LEE’S CHINESE: GENERAL TSO

4138 Clemmons Road • 336.712.0002

Mon – Thurs 11am – 9:30pm, Fri 11am – 10pm, Sat 4 – 9:30pm, Sun 12pm – 9pm

If you’re looking for some delicious (and authentic) Chinese takeout, look no further than Lee’s Chinese. Noted for true Chinese cuisine, their General Tso is among their most popular dishes. Chicken is perfectly seasoned and cooked and served with a bed of rice and fresh broccoli. YUM!

CHERRIES CAFÉ: CARAMEL CAKE

6000 Meadowbrook Mall Court • 336.766.4088 Tues – Fri serving lunch 11am-3pm

Another local favorite, Cherries Café is noted for several signature dishes, including their infamous take on the Southern classic – chicken pie. But, save room for dessert. Their homemade caramel cake is in a word – divine. You may even be tempted to order dessert rst so you’ll have plenty of room!

CLEMMONS KITCHEN: FRIED SQUASH

3609 Clemmons Road • 336.766.4671 Mon – Sat 6am – 9pm, Sun 7am – 2pm

Since 1977, Clemmons Kitchen has been the place to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner. With a full menu loaded with yummy options, one humble little sidedish makes the list of favorites – fried squash. The fried squash at Clemmons

Kitchen has been carefully breaded and cooked to tender perfection. This southern favorite is done right.

LITTLE RICHARD’S BAR-B-QUE: BARBEQUE

6470 Stadium Drive • 336.766.0401

Mon – Sat 11am – 9pm, Closed Sunday

North Carolina is a state divided. There are two very different opinions on what constitutes good barbeque. And, if you’re from another state, you may have a different idea of what barbeque is all together. But, here in Clemmons, barbeque is

Lexington style. If you’re looking for a traditional barbeque joint that takes pride in slow cooking it the right way – then go here.

CROSBY PUB: PASTA PRIMAVERA

6205 Ramada Drive (inside the Village Inn

Event Center) • 336.766.9121 Opens daily at 5pm

Don’t be fooled by the location. You don’t have to be a guest at the hotel to enjoy one of Clemmons’ best-kept secrets. While Crosby Pub changes the menu seasonally (and all of it is amazing!), one dish is a staple – the pasta primavera. Tender penne pasta is tossed with fresh vegetables and a light cream sauce.

Enjoy vegetarian style or add chicken, shrimp or (my favorite) steak.
