    Went to Mannings for Girls Night Out. This is clearly a go-to restaurant as it was very busy for a week night. What a great meal though! Three of us had the Filet and it was cooked to perfection. The crab dip was great and our drinks were on point too. The restaurant was a bit noisy but everything else was fabulous. Downtown Clayton is cute as can be.

    Pita Chips were AMAZING! Crab cakes, Macaroni & Cheese, Steak were DELISH!! The service was TERRIFIC. I only wish they gave a piece of dessert to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries.

    The food is always delicious when we go to Mannings. The waitress seemed not to be on her game when we went on Sunday night. While it was loud, she missed a side order for one of our friends and when it came time to pay the bill, it took an extra 20 minutes to get a to go lid for some salad dressing. She made a snide comment about hoping that wasn't the reason we were waiting around. Overall, the food is wonderful and Howard (the owner) will go above and beyond to make sure his patrons are enjoying themselves.

    Food was great and service was great as well...waitress was an older lady with not great customer service skills but she provided good service! She was just direct, “what do you want” rather than have you decided yet!

    We made reservations and were seated promptly and cheerfully. The food was delicious and so were our drinks. We both enjoy this place; I wish it had just a little more ambience!

    Service and food was great. We brought our 5 month old in a stroller and they accommodated us with no problems! The ribs and crab dip were amazing. Seafood was also good!

    Waitress was fantastic and so was the meal. We went in for a date night and it felt like a perfect spot for that. We sat in a smaller room and there were a lot of other couples there as well. We ordered the ribeye steak and it was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The crab cake appetizer was my meal along with the spinach salad and both were wonderful. Crab cakes were so flavorful and didn’t have filler. Just delicious crab meat. Yummy!
