Clayton Bar and Grill - Concord, California

A keeper.
Burgers are tasty and moist, even for well done requests.
Beer choices prefer local brews, draft and bottle/cans.
Staff is attentive and orders were accurate.
Meat patties are thick, and buns are fresh. Lettuce, tomatoes, etc were fresh as well.
Parking in the back and lots of it.
Outside sign is small so you might miss it. It is right beside another restaurant, sharing an entrance/driveway.
Adjoining bar area has tables and bar stools.
Outside dining available in the rear.

Everything was yummy. The pretzel is good n a decent portion size...it went fast!

Only reason to take a star off was because my friend ordered fish n chips but they didn't tell her they were out of tarter sauce until they brought out all the food (they took it off the bill so that was cool). And I was given the wrong hard seltzer (but I ended up liking it).

Update: was there on Cinco de Mayo. Place was busy. All tables filled. Food is still yummy. Husbear has fallen for the fettuccine Alfredo w shrimp. I have the mushroom burger n fries. Good quality meat in the burger.
2nd update: the Hawaiian burger is good but very messy. Now I swap the fries out for cheese curds!! So yummy!

This place privately stand behind the Clayton Rd. There are plenty of parking spots available for guests. Restrooms are well maintained and staffs are welcome. Reservation is also available via phone. The shop is decorated with cozy light fixtures. The cafe bar is a plus. The ample choices of beverages await for your visit. I think one way to improve for the better experience is a pasta menu with limited selection. Overall, the shop has good size rooms for not only individual but also for family with kids. It is a good place for the game day. A greater entertainment experience is to update the bigger high resolution screen on the wall without lagging show.

Really good food. It's more upscale than your average bar and grill. They have some interesting things on the menu, and they obviously put a lot of care into their food. They easily have the best bourbon selection in Concord. If you're looking for something rare and are willing to pay for it, they have a lot of options. Definitely worth checking out.

Walk-in to-go order.
Not busy; interacted w first person, they never came back to take my order; i asked the bartender, he took my order while making a drink, repeated it back to me wrong.
Quoted 15-20 mins, took closer to 25-30.
Got home, the no onions burger had onions in it, caesar salad was stuck to the bottom of my burger; the burger is humongous, and it fell all apart when eating it; other reviews said burger is a frozen beef pattie and another said it’s over salted, and unfortunately, it’s absolutely true. The food is heavyweight disgusting! Don’t waste your time or money here. I sooo wanted it to be good, but it’s not!

Fantastic food, burgers and philly were really fresh and the quality of the ingredients showed.

Amazing beer selection too, had good unique options that you don't see everywhere. Would come back for this alone.

Atmosphere was great as well, owner greated us once we got seated. Really made us feel special and was a nice gesture.

The building looks a little boring from the outside, but the food and service goes well beyond making up for that.

Will be back again for sure.

Went here for breakfast. However, they DON'T serve breakfast anymore (another couple came in after us, but left because they wanted breakfast, too). We decided to stay, since we did not want to spend the extra time going somewhere else. I had the fried chicken sandwich with onion rings, she had the fish and chips. The chicken was thin and dry, and the rest of the sandwich was nothing special, but the onion rings were actually really good! As for the fish, it was nicely (not overly) battered and was a good firm fish. Unfortunately, the fries were dark brown and overcooked. We also had Bloody Marys, which were well made and tasty! Service was satisfactory, & staff was friendly. Tough call, not sure we will go here again. I guess you could consider this more of a bar that serves food, than a restaurant with a bar.
