We were recommended to come here by a local, and this was one of the best recommendations we’ve had! What a gem to the community! The staff is so sweet to my kids and so kind to our needs. Have you tried the cinnamon streusel muffin? You can’t leave until you do! Our server was so sweet. Thank-you Kim, my kids loved your personality, you’re amazing!

Stopped here on my way to Los Angeles, and I was amazed. The food was good and big portions. The only thing I thought needed a little more flavor was the pancake, but other than that, it was good. Service was awesome. Our drinks were always filled. They do have a pretty big menu, a lot of options. Definitely recommend.

Wow! We had the California breakfast with potatoes (which were perfectly cooked) and I had the pancakes (I was about to try apple cinnamon jelly on it!) Delicious! Great service and very clean.

Best home cooking around. The service was amazing. The waitresses and the Manager went out of their way to make me and my wife feel at home. We brought our dog along with us. They were just as awesome to her as they were to us. I've not experienced that type of service in a long time. Food was amazing. Plenty to bring home. Outstanding people there. Can't say enough.

If you like breakfast, and diner food you will love Clarkie's. My wife and I love coming here together when we get a chance, but my supervisor at work is the one who introduced me to this place, and now it's our favorite diner. Ask for Alex. She's a great server, and you have to try the Cinnamon Streusel. It's the best!

The staff were perfect, and the food was even better. For a place I’ve driven by too many times, I’ve missed out by not stopping in! Make sure to go here for a solid breakfast you won’t regret it!

The Big Hoss Biscuits topped with a Country Fried Steak, top that with Fried Potatoes and (3) Eggs, smothered in Sausage Gravy and Cheddar Cheese. Instead of the steak I got sausages
