    I saw so many rave reviews about Clark's and it is worth the hype !!!! I had the chopped cheese and it was amazing. The flavor was to die for and the price was also well worth it. Cute spot in plaza you should definitely check it out! Next time can't wait to try their breakfast sandwiches I've heard great things about

    I am from Chicago and so I ordered the Chicago Dog and a side of baked beans. The service was quick and the food was hot. The Chicago Dog was better than I expected because they char the bun and split the dog. Both great ideas. The baked beans were a pleasant surprise too. They had fine ground beef and bacon in there. Yum. This was my first visit and definitely will not be my last.

    Carolina Burger and French Fries
    Cotrane P.

    We've been to Clark's at least 5 times and have tried a number of different menu items. Today, I had the Carolina Burger and regular fries. My husband had the Clark Burger and tater tots. The bread is beautiful to look at, soft, and buttery while the burger and each topping are all chosen or made with care. I don't know how they cook their fries and tots but I'd put them against any in town. Other things that I'd recommend include anything of their pastrami sandwiches (it's house made), hot dogs, and the BLT. And if you go for breakfast, definitely have a Montreal style bagel with their homemade cream cheese. Service is quick and the atmosphere is casual. Perfect for quick weeknight dinner or weekend lunch.

    Big fan of Clark's!!!! We stopped in for breakfast and it is the perfect hangover food. Messy sammies, hotdogs, the works. Food comes out on a tray, kind of like a BBQ joint or a cafeteria. It felt old school in a great way. I ordered pastrami hash and my partner ordered a breakfast sandwich, plus coffees for the both of us. Overall, this place is great. Very casual, a steady flow of customers. It's a little out of the way, but close to the action and I hope the hustle of Plaza extends toward them. Parking is a challenge, as there weren't a ton of spaces. There's outdoor seating and an order window, and it's dog friendly! Some games inside as well. Additionally, I do not eat pork, and so I hope they introduce an all beef hotdog to the menu! There were still some options, even for vegetarians, but the all beef would be great :)

    Very cool exciting new place for cheese burgers and split hotdogs ! Parking sucks so go to the tobacco spot buy a Gatorade or cigar and they may let you park in the lot. Showed up at 12 because of traffic one table was left inside and outside the restaurant. Loved the beers and the food that day.

    Have been wanting to visit Clark's for a while and finally made it in! I knew it was going to be good when I saw the candy jars and bags of UTZ chips. Easily one of my favorite burgers and hand cut fries in CLT. Great service, friendly staff, clean, fast and delicious! Check them out!

    Stopped by Clark's and ordered the Clark's Burger, and this place is definitely worth the hype. The burger was way bigger than I expected -- stacked with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and melty cheese on a soft brioche bun. Beware it can get a little messy! Super juicy and full of flavor. The fries were good -- crispy, well-seasoned, and perfect with their ranch. Price-wise, you can't beat for the quality of food you get. Overall, great burger spot with solid food, a chill vibe, and menu that varies from burgers to dogs and sandwiches.

    Chopped Cheese
    Emily M.

    Wow! So glad this OG is back! We had the fish sandwich special, and the chopped cheese special. Both were insane, look at the size of the fish! Fries are awesome, baked beans are great with the fries. Cannot go wrong here!

    Finally made it to Clark's Snack Bar--and as a bratwurst lover, I had high hopes. I was curious to see what took over The Good Wurst, and Clark's has been on my list ever since. I grew up in Wisconsin, so my bratwurst standards are very specific: beer-braised, no ketchup nonsense, just sautéed peppers and onions. That's exactly how I ordered it--and it was beautifully done. Juicy, flavorful, with just enough snap in the casing. Pure comfort in a bun. I paired it with a side of tater tots, which unfortunately missed the mark. They were overly salty--after about five, I couldn't go any further. I didn't send them back, mostly because I didn't feel like the back-and-forth, but I'd skip them next time. The space itself is casual, unfussy, and perfect for a quick bite or low-key hang. No pretense--just good sausages done right (and I say that as someone who's picky about them). I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

    Ruben Sandwich with side of spicy peppers/pickles - $17.95
    Candace R.

    Stopped by Clark's Snack Bar for Saturday lunch and loved the retro, welcoming vibe. The space was clean and open, staff were friendly, and the menu was easy to navigate. My husband and I ordered a Reuben sandwich (with spicy peppers), a cheeseburger with potato salad, and shared a strawberry milkshake to go. Everything was delicious and fairly priced, especially the Reuben, which was one of the best I've had in a long time. Bonus points for the dartboard and shuffleboard while we waited, such a fun touch! And the quirky sign out front? Loved it. Definitely a locals' gem. We'll be back and next time, I'm not sharing the Reuben.

    Came to Clark's after seeing a TikTok video of their location. We ordered a bacon egg and cheese and a pork roll with some tots. The pork roll on a sesame bagel toasted also had chili oil added, which made it additionally amazing! There are limited seating options so you might have to wait a while in order to be able to sit down and eat and the parking is a bit limited as well. So if you're coming here to sit, expect to wait for a bit. At the end it was all worth it, and I would definitely come back again. Service was amazing!

    We stopped here to enjoy lunch on a Saturday. We were promptly greeted and given some suggestions after telling cashier it was my first time. I kept it simple and ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake. My cheeseburger was pleasing to the eye but not my tastebuds. It was dry and bland. The fries were very good though. And the shake..the shake was nothing special. It just tasted like chocolate ice cream in a small cup! I was expecting something delicious considering it was almost $7! I do not feel the quality of the food was worth the price. I will not be returning.

    If you follow food news for more than five minutes, you've probably heard some version of the "tea" behind Clark's Snack Shop. Clark's comes from the same owner behind Good Wurst, which (if you remember) opened in this exact Plaza Midwood space, expanded to three locations, and then shut down all three within a year. Nobody closes a thriving business, so I have to assume the economics just stopped making sense... but that didn't prevent a wave of headlines. One week it was lawsuits over the South End location, the next it was a quiet rebrand of the Plaza Midwood spot into "Clark's Snack Shop." I stopped in today and grabbed a chicken salad sandwich and chili cheese fries to-go because I needed to wrap up a listing presentation at home. When I opened the bag... disaster. The sandwich had toppled straight into the chili cheese fries. Not ideal so I re-plated everything and soldiered on. The chicken salad sandwich was good (not great). The biggest issue.. the chicken salad doesn't carry a big stick and the pickles completely overpower it. If you LOVE pickles, go for it... if not, I'd recommend ordering them on the side. Amélie's still holds the crown for chicken salad in the QC. The chili cheese fries were sweet, salty, and definitely edible. They were thick-cut, which helps them hold up under chili, but the overall flavor leaned mild. Not the best chili cheese fries in the city (that honor still belongs to Little Village Grill, forever and always), but drown them in Texas Pete and they'll get the job done. I didn't find anything I had to have again, but I also didn't dislike anything. The bigger question isn't the food, it's whether the ghost of Good Wurst will live for long. I'll probably swing back around to see how the menu evolves, until then... shoot me a message and we can tour homes in the area so you can grab lunch from Clarks while walking your pup around the neighborhood.

I got a single burger with ketchup, pickles, onions and chili no complaints; It was amazing. I'm actually kind of upset, I didn't know about this place earlier. The fries were hot and made fresh; It had seasoning on it and they were wedges so I loved them. They did forget to put ketchup on my burger but no biggy there were packs of ketchup in a bag so just added it myself. I did also get a sweet tea. Forgot to take a picture of it. Didn't really care for the tea it was not sweet at all, but the burger and fries made up for that so I could honestly do without the tea. We didn't have to wait long at all. There was a line but they moved very quickly. They're only open till like 3 PM. It's a little building that sits on the corner of the lot so there was ample amount of parking. I already can't wait to go back and try something different. Definitely give them a try.

I crave their chili dogs--fully loaded, of course. That famous chili recipe? Absolutely unmatched. Don't sleep on the crispy potato wedges either--they're the perfect sidekick. And if hot dogs aren't your thing, no worries--they also make a killer chili cheeseburger, or you can try their fried bologna or fish sandwich. It's a no-frills kind of place, and that's part of the charm. Grab your lunch and eat at the shaded stand-up area outside, or post up in your car for the full experience. Heads up--it's cash only, but don't worry, there's an ATM on-site if you need it. Everyone is always so nice and helpful as well! Simple, iconic, and always worth the stop.

The servers were also very nice and friendly. However, a few things held the experience back: Atmosphere & Layout: First, don't let the name fool you--it's not actually a drive-in. Walking into the lobby, I was hit with a stale, dank, musty smell, which seemed to be coming from the restrooms located right at the front entrance. The waiting bench was cluttered with high piles of boxes, which didn't make the best first impression, and the hand towel dispenser in the ladies' room was out of order. The Food: I paid $11 for five skinny, dry wings paired with a watery blue cheese dressing. For "jumbo" wings, they were pretty mid. The menu overall feels like it could use an upgrade (Bad Daddy's Burgers right across the street sets a much better benchmark for this type of casual spot burger). The staff and the playlist were fun, but between the lacking atmosphere and disappointing food, it falls right in the middle for me.

They both were tasty. The hot dog was big and juicy and well dressed. They air fry all their traditionally fried. That's probably my only complaint. I prefer fried food to be fried in oil, but that's my preference. We also tried the brisket and pulled chicken (sorry I forgot to take a picture). They were also good. Everything was served hot and fresh. I'm a condiment girl and they have five bbq sauces: Original, Mississippi, Kansas, Memphis, and Sweet and Tangy. We actually liked all of them between the two of us. Here are a few more highlights and reasons for you to stop in and check them out. 1. Plenty of parking including a ramp for accessibility. 2. They have Ax Throwing. It's not traditional axe throwing, they use a screen. They also have other fun games including Tic-Tac-Toe and a Candy Crush like game. It's also affordable. It was $10 per person/hr. We stopped in on a Monday afternoon before 5:00pm. 3. They have a few fun things on their menu including corn nuggets, fried pickles, pineapple upside down cake, and a sampler where you can try a little bit of everything. 4. The staff (Ron and Shawn) was very friendly and thoroughly explained the menu. They also chatted with us since they were not too busy and made sure we had all we needed to enjoy our meal. 5. They have over 20 taps with a variety of beer. They also have beer specials during football season. Stop in and visit Crave for a taste of Carolina and a little family fun.
