Sunday, June 23, 2024 at 12:40 p.m., my daughter and I stopped here for lunch. I called around noon to inquire about their closing time and was informed that they close at 2:00 p.m.
Upon arrival, we noticed only a few tables occupied and the restaurant had a closed, dirty smell to it that was less than appetizing.
We were instructed to seat ourselves. Immediately after being seated, the waitress handed us our menus, asked for our drink orders and then informed us that, as they close at 2:00 pm. ( A FULL HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES FROM CURRENT TIME, WITH ONLY A FEW TABLES OCCUPIED), we could only order from one section of the menu, which was the sandwiches. None of the full meals or dinner options were being prepared.
This is nothing more than obvious laziness on the part of the staff. It would appear that they think CLOSING time equals QUITTING time. I'm guessing they wanted to walk out the door as close to 2:00 p.m. as possible. Could be why the place smells so bad, because cleaning would take additional time.
We will never eat, or attempt to eat, in this establishment again. We drove to Sofia's Kitchen in Angola. They ALSO had a 2:00 p.m. closing time. The parking lot was packed. We waited 10 minutes to be seated. We placed our order, FROM A FULL MENU at 1:15 p.m. and never once were we made to feel rushed because they CLOSE in just a few minutes. We observed people walking in and being seated in the same friendly manner until the time we left, shortly before 2:00 p.m.
Perhaps, the staff at Clay's could take some lessons from Sofia's Kitchen on how to operate a successful establishment. Clay's from years back was certainly not this yucky or rude. NEVER AGAIN!
THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS RESPONDED WITH AN EXCUSE OF DOWNED TREE AND LOSS OF POWER........
If this were true, the wait staff should have informed of such INSTEAD of telling us that since they closed at 2:00 p.m., the kitchen did not want to get everything out to prepare all of the items on the menu so close to closing time. AND, DO NOT CLAIM TO BE AN 80 YEAR OLD ESTABLISHMENT. 46 years under the Bakers and then this horrific mess took over.

The food was basic food with NO FLAVOR. THERE WERE NO DINNER ROLES.
$25 a person there should have been MORE OF A VERITY. GOD BLESS BUT WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO EAT THERE.

Great breakfast buffet. Small town feel with great service. We don't get to go often but when the kids were little packing up from a camping trip was always bearable for the kids and for us knowing we were going to Clays.
I took my kids and grandkids this past Saturday. Same great service. Same great buffet. Our waitress was very accommodating. The cook and busser were also friendly and made a point to say hello. When in Fremont Clays is definitely my choice ?

Highly disappointed in my $13 dollar chicken BLT and French fries. The top toast was burnt, the bottom toast was under cooked and soggy. When asked about how my sandwich was, I said the grilled chicken seemed bland, like there wasn't any salt and pepper. That's when the waitress told me that they don't put salt and pepper on their food, but she would tell the kitchen my concerns. I thought that there would be something to rectify the situation, but instead they decided to bill me for an additional 2 dollars on the childrens meal we ordered.... bringing that meal to 8 dollars, not including the 1.50 drink for my 5 year old son's 2 chicken tenders and fries. I don't know how they are still in business. What are you all smoking? You must be sky high to dine here and enjoy it.
