There is not a bad thing on the menu. My family and friends have been going here for years. While the wait can be long sometimes, the food is well worth the wait. Never had one complaint, nor do I have problems spending our hard earned money here at all. Highly recommended restaurant even if you aren't close to it.

I had been here before but I enjoyed it so much I brought my husband and we are going to make it out go to place. The food was was great. The price is good and Gilbert was friendly and informative. We have been here for 3 years and needed to find a good restaurant nearby, we don’t want to go Raleigh for everything. Kudos to the owner. Mr& Mrs. Paul D Lee

My fiance and I were in town from Florida and wanted to do something nice for my mom who recently lost her husband so we took her out to dinner and she absolutely loved it!! From the amazing food (my favorite were the crab and spinach dips and also the Luigi’s Linguine) and we had the best server name Angela who was so nice and down to earth. Thank you for making that night special for my mom. Will definitely be back when we come visit again in January!!

First time visit to this local favorite. Sat at the bar because it was pretty busy when we arrived. Bartenders are very friendly and make great drinks. Locals are talkative, engaging and warm people. I ordered a chicken and avocado bacon sandwich with fries and my husband got a pasta dish. The patrons recommend the ribs and spinach. Southern fare comfort food is the hallmark of this restaurant. If you’re in Clayton, should definitely pop in for a bite!

We came for an early dinner, definitely worth the 40-minute ride. The food is excellent , and the service is top quality. I will definitely be back for another dinner with the family .

I couldn't have asked for better food or better service! The place was Top Notch in every way. We got a table upstairs where it was quieter. There was a huge deck with umbrellas just outside that looked very inviting, but it was just too hot that day. Our waitress was great. We'll definitely be going back! It's our new favorite place to go to! I highly recommend it.

First time here in several years. Solid experience. We were able to grab a table with no wait on a Friday. Parties bigger than two faced a long wait, and the coveted rooftop must be reserved. Manning’s is casual but retains a slightly refined air. People come to hang out, or come dressed up for dates. You’re welcome either way. We got the crab dip, which was delicious real crab. They’ve got a couple of good beers on tap as well as cocktails and a martini list. Our entrees were the sea bass/scallop pasta special, and the pesto primavera. All the seafood was excellently prepared. The primavera had more flavor than the special, but I understand not wanting to mask the sea bass or scallops too much. Solid martinis after dinner - one dirty and one espresso. Service was friendly, just a tad slow at times. But it’s all fine on a lively Friday with a good atmosphere to soak up. Thanks for a good meal!

Manning's has had great food, sevice and atmosphere each time I have been. I ordered a side salad and baked potato this time and took half of the salad home for later. My bf enjoys being surprised by having the wait staff's favorite (no peanuts.) The steak was perfectly cooked and instead of salad, they brought broccoli with a slightly spicy sauce. It was wonderful.

It's a bright spark in downtown Clayton. The steak was cooked perfectly med rare. The whole meal was exceptionally well flavored and amazing service.

We stopped by Mannings for a beer and left with a new favorite place to eat, drink, and hang out with the friendliest of people! The scallops are prepared perfectly! Can't wait to go back try more foods! Matteo (bartender) and Mr. Manning are amazing at what they do!
