Restaurants in Clinton

“This is by far the BEST pizza around! I love the small town feel, while serving up the best (varieties of pizzas) and offer a great salad bar, as well, at a great price. Definitely a 10/10! I look forward to coming here when I come home from Texas, with each visit.”

“Jun 2025 - stopped for supper on the way home after visiting Eden. So full of local families I didn’t mind eating by myself. Especially with the friendly servers.”

“Rat hole is very good but all of the food is great !!!”

“The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly.”

“Stumbled across this hidden gem while looking for something new to eat in the Clinton/Lauren’s area. We were amazed at how clean and beautiful the restaurant was. The food was hands down some of the best I’ve had in this area. We will definitely be back again.”

“Nice place to kick back and relax after a long week. Several beers on tap. Choose one or if you aren't sure...try a flight.”

“Just wanted to say Thank you to the man that paid for our breakfast on Sunday August 6th 2023. That was very thoughtful! Hope you see this and know we appreciated it. Our meal was very good and the waitresses and cook was all awesome.”

“They have a great staff they greet you when you come in the door and leave. It’s at a truckstop and it means a lot very helpful with your food. Seems very clean. I would award them employees of the month.”

“My husband and I are regulars at Japan Diner, dining here almost weekly, and it never disappoints. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, and we’ve discovered several favorites. My husband adores the Extra Spicy Szechuan Beef, Shacha Beef, and Orange Peel Chicken—all with bold flavors. I gravitate toward the combination plates with white rice and cheese wontons, always ordering extra wontons. The spring rolls and steamed dumplings are also exceptional, but the cheese wontons stand out with their perfectly crisp texture and generous, creamy filling.

For soup lovers, this spot is a dream. The Tom Yum Soup is a personal favorite, packed with shrimp, mushrooms, lemongrass, basil, and onion in a creamy, flavorful broth. It’s my ultimate comfort food, especially when I’m feeling under the weather. The Egg Drop Soup is equally delicious and never fails to hit the spot. Whether we’re dining in or taking our meals to go, the quality and care in preparation shine through every time.

Service at Japan Diner is stellar. Pickup orders are handled quickly through the drive-through window, and dining in is just as efficient and welcoming. With its fantastic food, friendly staff, and convenient location near Presbyterian College, Japan Diner has truly become a beloved staple for us. Highly recommended!”

“I come all the way from Aiken County just to eat there..Best Food ever!!!”

“I travel a lot and I’m fortunate enough to eat at some high end restaurants yet nothing seems to beat a Waffle House breakfast. I have visited several locations throughout various states and the atmosphere and service is always a joyful way to start the day.”

“The food was beyond good; it truly was some of the best Chinese food I have ever tasted. From the moment the first dish arrived at the table, I could tell we were in for a treat. The vibrant colors and inviting aromas made my mouth water. Each bite was packed with flavor, whether it was the tender chicken stir-fry or the perfectly cooked dumplings. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, making every dish feel authentic and special. As we explored the menu, it was hard to pick our favorites because everything was so delicious. The sweet and sour sauce had just the right balance of tangy and sweet, while the fried rice was fluffy and satisfying. I couldn’t get enough of the crispy spring rolls, filled with crunchy vegetables. Every dish complemented the others, creating a fantastic meal experience. It was a mix of traditional flavors that managed to blow my taste buds away. After finishing our meal, I felt truly satisfied and happy, not just because of the food, but also the whole vibe of the place. There was a cozy atmosphere that made us feel at home while we enjoyed our feast. The friendly staff made sure we had everything we needed and even recommended some dishes that we hadn’t tried yet. I left the restaurant excited to come back and explore more of the amazing menu, convinced that this could easily become my new favorite dining spot for Chinese food.”

“Consistently the best food and customer service in Laurens County. Food is always fresh. If there is a problem it is quickly and politely fixed. Best chicken tenders in the area.”

“I went in to place a big order for a birthday party and they definitely delivered. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service was great. They definitely will get my service again. You all need to check them out.

Parking: Parking is available with about 14 parking spots. They're in between another building but parking is no problem.”

“we stopped here on a whim during a roadtrip and were blown away by quite the literally the best fast food experience. food? hot. service? so fast. my order was accurate and the woman at the window was very polite and friendly. i wish this place wasn’t four hours away, i miss it already. absolutely fantastic.”

“The Vestibule has lots of different coffees, smoothie and teas available. I have tried multiple iced coffees, haven't been disappointed yet. I am usually right on top of any specials/new drinks they offer just to say I have tried them. I highly recommend THE VESTIBULE.”

“Mrs. Rupal was so sweet wow! Once I ordered kids drinks she was so interactive with them and even gave them a little treat. Asked how my day was and everything. Give this women a raise”
