Guestbook
“ The Clock is a family owned place and a long-time watering hole for locals of the west side. Breakfast is very popular. I’ve been eating there since I was 4 years old. This place has changed minimally; and I say that as a big compliment. The food has been consistently great through the years. Even as their food suppliers have changed sources, the owner maintains the familiar and delicious taste with high-quality ingredients. While there are many “clocks” in the Greenville area, the Original Clock Drive In is #1 hands down. Whether it’s a classic meat and 3, or a chili cheeseburger, this clock takes the cake! ”
“ Drive through was a bit slow. It was a handwritten board with menu and cars were out to the road but it’s also like that sometimes at Chic-fila but food is great! It was busy but everyone looked like they didn’t mind because the food was going to be great. Customer service was excellent! It was very busy but they were patient, pleasant and kind:) Eating area was spacious and bathroom were clean but dated. ”
“ The food was hot and fresh! The best clock in the entire upstate. Friendly staff and great prices. I will drive from Anderson to Greenville everyday for this. Keep doing what y’all are doing we enjoyed every bite. ”
“ Their gravy tasted kind of burnt from what my sister said but the tea could use more sugar cuz it tasted more like tea bags and water. Didn't really taste like sweet tea at all It tasted like water down deep with barely any sugar. Cheeseburgers are really good and so are there fries. I guess it just depends on what you get. ”
“ Catalina (so sorry if that’s not spelled correctly!) was the sweetest at the drive thru! I added a PB milkshake at the window & she was so sweet about it & also made sure I had plenty of sauces and napkins! Was getting dinner for my family at the hospital & it was so nice to have everything we asked for & more. First time going here, but will definitely be back! Thank you so much for making our terribly day have a ray of sunshine in it! ”
