Clawson's 1905 Restaurant and Pub in Beaufort, North Carolina was originally Clawson's Grocery Store, owned by Swedish and Irish immigrants. The original grocery store was located on the water, and it was destroyed in a hurricane. Clawson's Grocery Store reopened on the north side of Front Street, and that is the location of Clawson's 1905 Restaurant today. In 1977 it was renovated into a restaurant.

If you love to see antique "junk" and vintage "junk" strewn all over the place, you'll love Hillbilly Hot Dogs. I say "junk" with love, because this is not a museum where one will find antiques in pristine condition displayed behind glass cases. This is a fun, festive place where you'll find a variety of old stuff all over the place. The name of this restaurant, Hillbilly Hotdogs, gives you a clue about the inspiration for the decor. Judging by some of the names of the items on their menu, this place is unique with the food too! read more...
