What restaurant do you miss in Clemson?

Yesterday, my wife decided she wanted to go get some lunch. We ended up driving for over an hour to go to Seneca to get my current favorite Chinese in the State, The China Inn. This got me to thinking, what restaurant in Clemson do you miss?

I have three.

1. House of Leung - By far the best Chinese food I have had in the South. It was so good. I was disappointed when the owners finally retired. The land was then sold, and it is now a car wash. However, the family of the original owners own the China Inn in Seneca, and it is really good too.

2. Parcheesies (SP?) - This place had some really good pizza and wings. It had a good atmosphere, and the prices were phenomenal. When the restaurant closed in the late 90's it became a Japanese hibachi take out.

3. Sardis Den/Goobers - Although it just recently shut down, the ribs here were incredible. I believe the all you can eat crab legs probably was a mistake and killed their bottom line (lol). A hole in the wall, but that was the charm with the place. Anyone could fit right in.

Mushroom onions and peppers every Saturday night at midnight when the bars would close back in the early 80’s. Eat 1/2 when I got back to Johnstone B and the rest for breakfast at noon Best times of my life.

Chanelo's - had the best "house" pizza (mozzarella, tomato slices, thin sliced ham, basil) ever. I'm glad someone mentioned this because for the longest time I couldn't remember its name, and kept thinking it was Colombo's (which is still around in Pendleton and Pelzer, I think?)

Parcheesi's - great place for cheap pizza and to hang out, within walking distance of campus.

Acropolis

Sentimental shout-out to the Canteen on the 2nd floor of the Loggia. Not that the food was all that special, but you could get Clemson ice cream there, and it was an easy place to meet and hang out with friends.

Regretfully, I never ate at House of Leung. I always heard it was great.

Capris had good lasagna.
Pizza was good too.
It was on the upscale side of my college student budget. A nice date location

1. Keith Street. Don’t remember any one thing off the menu just remember always liking it.

2. Explorers. They would sell their parking spots for tailgating during the season. My friends and I would always go in together and buy one. They would do their chicken tenders in their wing sauces (back before this was really a thing) and their teriyaki tenders and garlic parm tenders were awesome.

3. Super Taco. A mom and pop burrito shop by the old Golds Gym. They had the best marinated chicken burrito I’ve ever had.

On either Tuesday or Thursdays Del Taco had really cheap tacos and we would go every week after my late afternoon class. When I’d get back to the apartment my roommate would be waiting on me to drive over there 😊

I had a buddy that worked there. On nights when he "closed", we would help him sweep and mop for a choco-taco or two!

Definitely House of Leung. We were there when they closed. Wonderful food and great family. We also missed Thai Spice, which lasted about 2 years.

You had to sign a waiver to do the hot wings challenge. Good times! I think the Abernathy hotel sits on the spot now where explorers was.

Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.

While maybe not officially a restaurant, I have to give a "shout out" to the Clemson House. After eating at Harcombe and Schilletter for weeks at a time, the Clemson House was surely a treat back in the day.

It might still be there. Not sure. It’s been decades. I think it was called Subway. Sub something. Their bread smelled like the sewer.

No, they shut down about 4 years ago. I think it is a Mr. Knickerbockers now. They had really good pizza.

Gotta go with Chane­lo's! The “Danny Ford” sandwich was awesome! Would stop by Chane­lo's after closing down TTT, order the “Danny Ford” to be delivered, walk back to Johnstone, and get there shortly. Score the delivery!

$0.25 wing nights and $5-6 pitchers made for a nice cheap night out.

Current site of Clemson Marina Grill, which is fine, but not the same.

I miss House of Leung, Channelos, Del Taco, and Frodo’s Pizza. Frodo’s had good pizza and it’s where I learned to actually LIKE beer. Before that I drank it but didn’t like it- I had been drinking PBR, but found Molson Golden was actually good.
