I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. I had a vegetarian omelet with egg whites with fruit salad. The vegetables and fruit were very fresh and delicious. The coffee was very fresh and they kept it coming non-stop, for a coffee consuier is very important. :) I also had a chance to meet the owner who was very kind and made a fantastic Mimosa. I can't wait until the weather is nicer outside so I can enjoy their patio. Again, my experience was wonderful here. The owner made it the difference, her energy and aura is amazing. I will be back for sure. <3 :)

I have been coming to Clarke's for over 3 decades. I drive a considerable distance to enjoy the staff, the chill environment and the food is consistently pretty good. I've been ordering the Micro-mini for years and I was bummed to find that not only have their prices gone up, but their combo options are very limited. For example the skillet options do not offer a pancake choice and the price for pancakes is too high at $3.94. Come on guys! I gave the 3rd star because the staff is awesome!

First of all I would like to say that like others have noted, it is a pleasing place. The interior is neat and almost modern. The exterior is aesthetically pleasing and the workers are pleasant. But thats only part of what makes up an experience. Before I even got a menu, I looked at the drinks menu. 3.95 for “homemade” lemonade?! The lemonade was first of all pink and very similar to fruit punch. I understanding wanting to make money but on top of that there are no refills. Moving on to the actual food, I ordered a clasic burger for 12.50. A decent sized burger with a side of 10 fries. Looking over at my sisters plate, i saw about 30 fries. 3x as much. My father ordered a chimichanga. It came out to about 16. His rice was cruncher then the burrito. There was also a cucumber in there. Please anyone let me know if u put cucumbers in your burritos. My father ordered jalapeños on the side. They were raw. With seeds? I find that quite interesting. My mother ordered a skillet. Overall they did a great job. On the eggs that is. The potatos were soggy not crisp and everything was very salty. The chorizo was drier then the grand canyon at that. Overall they deserve a 2/5 for the food and drinks not the owners and staff. I hope they have a blessed day.

What a GREAT place! Not only was my big salad with chicken, caramelized pecans, strawberries, chunks of blue cheese and balsamic dressing DELICIOUS, the owner Yolanda was so warm and friendly! Also a shout out to Carlos…our wonderful waitperson. We WILL be back!!

Much nicer than the previous on campus version which felt like multiple buildings merged together, but I think the new off campus version is smaller (less seating). Food was consistently good. I forgot how wonderfully fluffy their pancakes are. Parking garage is across the street. You will need to pay for street parking Mon to Sat. Definitely need to go back.

This place is excellent! Was in yesterday around 10am so no problems with being close to other diners.(one who was coughing)?. The eggs were fluffy ,hash browns toasted perfectly and all were hot and fresh. I love that they include "bottomless " cup of coffee in price . So for $10.97, its a good bargain, especially in these tough times where you get gouged at grocery and gas stations. All the staff were friendly and attentive to seeing that you had coffee and water,if needed. Next time I'll try a sweet breakfast, or go later and get burger.

This Restaurant is ?. 5 Stars The Food is Always Great. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The Owner of the Resturant is very Nice and welcoming everytime I am there. Great place to go for Breakfest or Lunch. ??

I really enjoyed Clark's. I was staying at the Hilton downtown and woke up late and was looking for a spot just like this one. I enjoyed some breakfast a little after noon and it hit the spot. The people were really friendly and the food was delicious ? They had some really good options and coffee was included in my meal. ☕ overall it was a great experience and I recommend it.

My sister and I found this wonderful diner in our Google search. The owner Yolanda was very welcoming upon entry. We felt like celebrities. The food was amazing. We tried the breakfast croissant with ham, kids funny face pancakes, and a turkey burger. The mimosa were strong just how it should be! This is definitely my new diner while visiting from KC. Thank you!!!

We ended up walking out after waiting over 45 minutes and never being served. All of the other patrons that came in after us were served and we were not. When we flagged down our server she just kept saying sorry, sorry. Totally wasted our time and we will not return.
