Clementine’s: Reviews & Ratings
For being not in New Orleans, the food is pretty darn good. Flavors are like what one can get in Nola and the beignets pretty good.
Good place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner/drinks. It's different from many other places in the area, so it's a nice option to have a Cajun flares. I admit I have had much better Creole food, and I'm sure it can't hold a candle to real New Orleans food. But it's still a place I will go back to scratch my Cajun food itches.
If you have not tried yet ... there are 3 different Eggs Benedicts - the Original,( smoked ham with poached eggs with hollandaise sauce...California, tomato, avocado, bacon, with poached eggs... Seafood - choice of crab cakes, fried oysters, or smoked salmon. Go try and they also have the option of half order...
"Always a pleasure!" It's been a few years since I've been here, but the service and the food is just as good as always. After a hard workout at the gym, I came here for liquid refreshment. The friendly server was glad to help me and she made a few suggestions. Naturally I had to get a racer 5 on tap. Note that they have all kinds of deals on liquid refreshment in the bar. Next time I'm getting that French onion soup. Thanks for maintaining the welcoming, professional atmosphere.
My first time here and it did not disappoint! I ordered the fried green tomatoes, they came out quick, hot and crispy with a side of ranch. They were very well seasoned and nice portion size. I ordered the grits and shrimp for my entree. It was so smooth and had a kick due to the jalapeño mixed in it, you must try. The service was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance seemed a bit dated, but cute in a way. The menu is pretty big too so I'm sure you'll find something you'll want to try.
My coworker and I decided to try Clementines on a whim because it's close to our office and wow! I was pleasantly surprised! Upon arrival, the front hostess welcomed us in with open arms and was extremely friendly and nice to talk to. After being seated and looking through the menu, it was so hard to choose what to get because everything sounded so delicious. For drinks, my coworker got the Georgia peach which was SO GOOD & I ordered the catdaddy mocha. I didn't care for it too much because it was super strong so I wouldn't order it again. For appetizers, we got the fried green tomatoes and they were so tasty! We also got some beinets but they weren't anything special. For our entrees, I settled for the fried catfish with fries! I loved the fried batter on the catfish, it was incredible! My coworker got the Ruben sandwich and holy crap, it was probably the best Ruben I've ever had! Overall, I really enjoyed dining here! I would definitely stop by again and try their breakfast!
