Oh my goodness! I am beyond happy I accepted my mom and dad's recommendation! I live in Raleigh, NC and I went to a woman's retreat with my BFF at Lake Junaluska.
I asked my dad for a recommendation and he and my mom both said Clyde's Restaurant. My parents live in Raleigh as well and they went to Clyde's several years ago.
So my BFF and I tried it and we're completely amazed at the food, the service, the staff and the price.
We went on a Saturday about 1:00 pm. It was packed with a wait. We waited about 10 minutes and got seated. There were several things we wanted to try but we each decided on the daily special. I got the fried chicken, Mac and cheese (homemade by the way), the fried okra and the fried squash, with a 1/2 & 1/2 of rolls and cornbread. My BFF got the stuffed porches with the same sides as me. We each got a glass of tea.
Even though the restaurant was packed and the 6 parking spaces for pick up orders were completely full, we received our food in a more than acceptable time period. The second she placed our meals in front of us we were both astounded. After we each tried a bite of everything we were born away.
Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Or glad was never empty. We both ate until we were satisfied and ended up with to go boxes with more food than we actually ate at the restaurant. We were so completely satisfied and very stoked we each had a to go box for another meal.
Then the bill came... We had to do a double take. Our bill for 2 meals with enough leftovers for 2 meals and 2 drinks was only $23.50.
The pictures are of our meals, my to go box and the bill. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
