CLEMMONS — Local restaurant Clemmons Kitchen will be hosting a visit from America’s Best Restaurants (ABR) in mid-November 2024.

America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants, will bring its ABR Roadshow to the restaurant on Nov. 13.  Popular dishes will be highlighted, along with an extensive on-camera interview with owner Bobby Tsatsaronis about the restaurant’s special place in the community. The episode will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date.

In business since 1977, Clemmons Kitchen was opened by Gus Tsatsaronis, who emigrated from Greece at age 17 and opened the restaurant three years later. Son Bobby, who grew up in the restaurant and found a passion for it, is now co-owner.

The popular eatery was nominated to be on the Roadshow by Kim Moody, who raved about the variety of food, the excellent service and her favorite menu items.

“Great pancakes, coffee and the best fried squash ever,” she wrote.

The homey interior sports a vintage vibe with framed photos and sepia-toned oversize historical pictures. The menu is extensive, serving up many Greek specialties such as gyros, Greek salads and souvlaki along with all kinds of sandwiches, pastas and seafood, breakfast dishes, daily specials and dinners.

Popular dishes that may be featured on the episode include the lasagna, a favorite of the father-son owners, spaghetti, served with marinara sauce, meat sauce, meatballs, mushrooms or Greek-style with marinara and feta cheese; and the souvlaki, marinated and grilled pork or chicken and served with three sides.

America’s Best Restaurants will be filming on location on Wednesday, Nov. 13, from 9 a.m. to noon. The restaurant’s finished episode premiere date will be announced on their Facebook page and will be featured on America’s Best Restaurants’ website at https://americasbestrestaurants.com/rests/north-carolina/clemmons-kitchen.

Restaurants featured on the ABR Roadshow are selected based on their customer reviews, menu items, social media presence, and level of involvement with their community. They are found through customer nominations, internal vetting or by a restaurant applying to be featured at www.americasbestrestaurants.com.
