Clark’s Dining Room

Update: on October 31, 2009, Clarks closed.

Clark’s is not far off Interstate 70, exit 132. I have driven by Clark’s many times. The parking lot is always full of local cars which is usually a good sign.
Clark’s is a homey restaurant decorated with quilt hangings. The current owners and managers are the third generation to operate the restaurant. The Clark’s purchased the old hotel in 1918. The hotel had originally served as a stagecoach stop on the National Highway (Old Rt. 40). In 1954, the old hotel burned down. The family rebuilt the restaurant.
The food is home-cooked and served family style. Their specialties are fried chicken and pies. We ordered burgers and salad and tried the apple pie. The food was good and the price reasonable. The couple at the next table had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and it looked delicious.
Take cash or check. Credit and debit cards are not accepted.
To round out our trip, we visited several Indian Mounds located near Clark's dining Room: Flint Ridge, Huffman or Tippet Mound at the Taft Nature Reserve, Fairmount Mound, and the Dawes Arboretum Mound.
