I feel like there is staple restaurant in every little town. In my town it is the Claremont Cafe, or as most people call it the “Pool Room.” You're probably wondering why on earth is it referred to the Pool Room, so It got that name because there is actually a place right beside it that older people used to go and play pool and they would order through a little window that connected the two places.
This little hole in the wall, old, rundown looking restaurant sits right in the middle of downtown. It is open from 6am to 2pm Monday- Saturday. You will walk in and see locals from wall to wall. You order right when you walk in the door, watch your food being cooked, walk to the end, pay in cash, get your food, and go try to find an empty table. It is a very old timey restaurant with lots of pictures from back in the day of our little town. If you go for breakfast get livermush, who doesn't love a good livermush sandwich? If you go for lunch you have to get a juicy cheeseburger with tater tots on the side, and a good foam togo cup of sweet tea.
The pool room is notorious for their amazingly delicious greasy food. You will leave smelling just like the restaurant. It is the most disgusting yet greatest smell ever. If you were to step foot in there you would probably question if they have a decent sanitary rating, but I promise a few flies never hurt anyone. There are some old men that come Monday-Saturday for breakfast and will sit and talk all day long. Some will even get lunch while they are there. It is the best little place to go and chat with some of your next door neighbors, you are always guaranteed to run into someone that you know.
This is definitely not the most glamorous place to go but is by far the best place in the world. There is nothing quite like a good ol’ greasy meal from the Pool Room.
