This Perkins is located off rte 80 in Clarion PA. It makes a convenient stopping and meeting place when traveling. We've been stopping here for years. The staff is friendly and helpful. The menu is standard Perkins, but everyone I was with found something to eat: grilled cheese, pancakes, a chicken entree. Food was tasty and came promptly. There's a 5- plus menu as well as a menu featuring dishes that range from $4-$8. The bakery is always tempting, and the pie is good.

Came here while staying in Clarion. We were a party of 6 and didn't have a reservation so we were escorted to the bar. The air conditioner was on full blast above our table so the ladies had to wear jackets. We waited quite a while to get waited on. Once we did get our drinks, the salads came out before the appetizer. The spinach artichoke dip was some of the best I have ever had. Warm pita came with it. The salads were standard side salads, and seemed to be freshly made. I had the vodka pasta with italian sausage, my husband had the Pasta Primavera, one of our son's had the chicken wings and pizza, another had the individual pizza and our daughter-in-law had a stromboli. Everyone was happy with their choices and we all had leftovers to take back to the hotel! We had to wait again for the check. I would give this place a higher rating if we didn't have to wait for our server.

Come expecting a down to earth greasy spoon burger joint and leave satisfied. It appears they have different specials rotating around so the main menu can always have something else to choose from. You order and pay and then they will make your food to order. Fresh beef. Good seasonings, creative combinations of ingredients. Nicely seasoned fries. No soda fountain but you can buy by the bottle. Plenty of staff working to keep up with business. Seems like there is a pride in their food. Some people dining in and some picking up. No parking lot, paid street parking. I wish a good place like this was close to home. Highly recommended.

We always have positive experiences at this location. After visiting other Applebees and having negative experiences, we couldnât wait to get back to our home Applebees. I am gluten free and they are always willing to work with me and provide me with great gluten free food. Their allergy menu is on the table kiosk. Pretty easy to read.

Bob's Sub is a Clarion staple. If you have visited Clarion and ate at Bob's you will be back. For those who live here it is a regular. The spicey Italian is my favorite but I have yet to have a bad sub there.

Sakura Buffet is a nice change of pace from the usual Asian buffet places. Unlike them, this restaurant is super clean, freshly decorated, has a pleasing ambiance, and attentive service. The food is kept fresh, and hot or cold as appropriate.All of this said, I still found myself wanting after my first trip through the buffet. Yes, there was the usual assortment of X and broccoli dishes, fried this and that, noodles, four soups, an assortment of desserts, and a salad bar and Mongolian BBQ line as nice extras. But I enjoy spicy Asian food and there wasn't anything hotter than a bell pepper to be found! No hot chili peppers, no jalapenos for the Mongolian BBQ, and only one hot sauce - Sriracha - to be found. I'd really liked to have found a Kung Pao or other spicy dish.All in all it's a nice place. If only the food were as imaginative as the decor...but at $17 for the buffet, tea, and tip, it's a bargain.

Nice fresh items, smoked turkey, ham, chicken salad(great) with choice of nice multigrain bread, bagels (many flavors) or croissant (yum). Sandwiches also offer choice of several cheeses, lettuce and tomato etc. Good brewed green iced tea and the triple berry pie was A++ for good homemade filling( without consisting of corn starch) and a tasty flaky crust. Wish I could make one as good.

Came in Saturday 3/31/18 around 9:30 My husband and I sat at the counter and were immediately welcomed and placed our order. We watched one waitress take food off of a customer's plate and pop it into her mouth. That should of been the only sign we needed to leave but we didn't. Coffee was okay. Nothing great. It actually made my mouth dry and I only drank half the cup. The price of their Food is reasonable. We're use to a big breakfast consisting of 2 eggs, meat, potatoes, toast and coffee for $5.50. Husband ordered 2 eggs, bacon, hash Brown patty, and rye. I had 2 eggs, homefries, sausage patty, rye. One egg was cooked perfectly the other was over cooked. A small amount of potatoes and one small sausage patty arrived after waiting 48 minutes. Not kidding 48 minutes! The rye toast was soft but the edges were hard but it was good rye bread. I wouldn't return her but like I said in the title. It depends on what you consider good.
