Reviews
They have good food. Good french toast. You guys are so good. Love their food five star
The full Pittsburgh experience. Don't judge a book by its cover. Divey on the outside. Better on the inside. Clark's Diner served unexpectedly above-average food. Since it was straddling the brunch and lunch hour, we ordered an omelette and a burger. Both were pretty tasty. The interior is your classic diner, clean and really local-yocal friendly service.
Good food, nice old school diner atmosphere. 21 dollars for scrambled eggs w/cheese, bacon, potatoes, toast and pancakes. And a sweet tea. A bit pricey imo but I will return. All the wait staff was very kind.
I enjoyed the black, red, and white decorations of this intimate retro diner. I ordered a buffalo chicken salad for lunch. my favorite dressing is blue cheese, but they didn't have any on the menu so I got ranch. Being in western PA, the salad had to have french fries on it, obviously, the buffalo sauce was just hot enough to make my nose a little, but not too hot to overshadow the flavor of the other parts of the salad. The one thing I didn't like, and it's a pet pet of mine, others may not have a problem with it, is that they serve the dressing in cups and put the plastic cups in the salad. I've never been a fan of that even if it does make it easier for the server to carry - just put the cups on the side of the salad for me please. Again I realize that's a personal preference and not indicative of the quality of the food. I definitely will come back
We ate lunch. The shrimp basket special and a Rueben sandwich. The shrimp was piping hot. There could have been a little more corn beef on the Rueben But it was seasoned perfectly and nicely grilled. There were a lot of fries included with both meals. The service was quick and friendly. The prices were fair.
