I was in town for business and wanted to get something to bring to my hotel room to eat. I stopped on main street to walk around. This is a small and welcoming spot. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was able to place a 'to go' order of wings. I was told it would be about 15 min. perfect to let me take a walk. The wings were cooked perfectly, I always worry about undercooked. I got them with bbq sauce and asked for a side of hot sauce and a side of blue cheese sauce. Xtra charge and I was good with that . The blue cheese actually had chunks that were really good blue cheese, not just crumbled. The serving was small but good quality. Overall. Highly recommend the food. read more

I stopped by Daddy's on Main Street for the first time, and it was honestly such a good experience. the atmosphere feels really welcoming the moment you walk in. The owner actually came out, introduced himself, and talked with us for a minute, which you don't see very often anymore. You can tell he really cares about the place and the people who come in same with the employees. And the food was so delicious. Will for sure come back. read more

Extremely welcoming owner, who came out to the table to greet every guest. He knew most of them by name! Checking on you and creating conversation. Such a nice guy, he even suggested other local breweries in the area to check out. An amazing atmosphere -home town friendly. His fries with his special seasoning were delicious, he gave us a complimentary sample of his delicious fresh cut fries with his special seasoning. The owner and his younger son sat next to us and chatted for quite some time. A must visit if your in the area for a quick, reasonably priced lunch or dinner. We got dogs and burgers which were good, but I would suggest trying some of their speciality meals, they looked amazing! He even gave us a cookie on our way out... Love this place, the owner and his family, they are good people and you can tell he loves what he does! Please check them out, there's much more to this hot dog shop then you would expect! read more

Their menu includes everything from hot dogs, hamburgers, po'boys to steaks. This was when we were passing through PA, we're certainly glad we stopped in Clarion. read more

Tried to order boneless wings by pound... turns out they can't. However they can sell them in baskets, however you can't mix flavors. Lazy business, rude service, and just go to Applebees to get wings. read more

Great food and variety at a good price. We had a great Reuben sandwich, and a very tasty red beans and rice with sausage. You can eat in or order to go and eat on picnic tables at a nearby park. Nice, friendly vibe. read more

Friends and family in the area suggested Daddy's cater a memorial I was planning. Not from the area, so stopped in for lunch. Met the staff and owner - they were great and the lunch was delicious. They made the planning for the event easy. Just a few emails and we were set. On the day of the event, food was set up and ready when we were, the guys helping serve were all-around nice. Food was excellent - great reviews from all the guests - particularly from a few from out of town who arrived skeptics and left with full stomachs! Thanks Daddy's team! read more

I enjoyed their hot dogs. Great atmosphere but it is a VERY small restaurant. Burgers looked good but I didn't try one.

Delish brisket and friendly folk. Portions are good size is pretty reasonable right with tip 35. Yeah.

Very quick service amazing food! Lots of options from hotdog to burritos, burgers, quesadilla etc

An always changing menu with fresh ingredients! Perfect for your greasy cravings and also have amazing fish tacos and fresh options as well!

Every single dish from a hot dog to an entree is incredible! This place is a Godsend to clarion! You cannot do any better than Daddy's

Eh...Showed up on a Friday around 3:00. Nobody inside. Sat down at a dirty table. Moved to a less dirty table. Bathroom was in use by a employees child fresh from school. Anyways, food was tasty. Got the poppers burger medium well. Good flavor but all in all would've been happier eating at Subway. Will I go back? Not if there is another option in town. read more

We all stopped in for lunch and 5 of us ate for $30! The food was amazing and definitely worth the drive off I-80!

I was so surprised to find this place. Not much to look at but the food was outstanding. French fries fresh cut and delicious. Had the gyro which was excellent. Others had the fish tacos which they raved about. A hidden gem. Loved it! read more

This place was disappointing. We really really wanted to like it. We ordered the philly cheesesteak, Loaded fries, Buffalo chicken basket, the Gyro cheesesteak, and the Myron cope--a burger with pierogie bacon cheddar cheese and grilled onion. They had cool specials with cool names. But the patties were not hand padded as advertised. The food was fine not great. The rolls were too soft. The dudes behind the counter were friendly, they reminded me of the dudes from "Clerks" somewhat grown up and now business owners. read more

AWFUL REALLY REALLY AWFUL One because there is no minus ten Whoever likes this very dirty ridiculous place must be a relative!!! Did I say it was DIRTY it was The burger was a thin greasy pre frozen bland thing I only bit it so I could review it and it was more a nibble not a bite the fries" oh my what garbage . Greasy soggy and somehow under cooked . The coffee pots are so dirty you can't see through them DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY My husband heard the "cooks" taking it seems it was run by the father till a couple of years ago seems he handed it off to a lazy son poor guy read more

Amazing Classic American Burger joint! Their fries are probably the best in Clarion, they are made fresh and feature some amazing spices, and their hot wings are delicious! I definitely recommend to anyone who likes a good hamburger, hot dog, wings, or even a chocolate chip cookie! read more

Daddy's Main Street - Buffalo chicken poboy, this was all the chicken on each half. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Clarion, Pennsylvania

Daddy's on Main St is the best eating option Clarion has to offer. It's exactly what you would expect in a college town. Fantastic burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, and wings, and the prices are great. I'll dare to say that it is even better than the O (blasphemy?) in Pittsburgh. Personal Favorites: Double Cheeseburger w/ Bacon: You know how some places you really don't taste all of the ingredients in the cheeseburger? Yeah, forget those days. This is local grass-fed beef, with delicious smoked bacon, and lots of cheese. Fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and you have an amazing burger. One of my favorite burgers of all time. Eddie Dog: A hot dog with chili, Dorritos, and cheese? Mmmmm. Delicious!! It sounds outright bizarre, but it is the most endearing hot dog. It will continue to grow on you forever. And they have a special where you can get 3 hot dogs for somewhere around $3.99. Cool! So why is this the best place in Clarion? These people are consistent! The food is always fantastic, the hours are way better than most of the restaurants in the area, and the service is always friendly. They don't favor the locals over the college kids here the way other places do. The decor is a bit out of date, but who cares? The are clearly supporting local teams, and the food is so good, you'll never even notice what the place looks like. It is a little small to eat in, but I've never had trouble finding a seat. SO DELICIOUS! read more

This is the reason a site like Yelp exists. I was traveling from Ohio to New Jersey and needed to take a break near Clarion, PA. The options off the highway did not look that promising. The reviews on Yelp directed me to Daddy's Main Street a couple of miles from Route 80. Clarion looks like quintessential small town America. Since it was December, Christmas carols were broadcast on the street. Daddy's Main Street is in an unassuming storefront on this unassuming Main Street. The first sign that this place had promise was the specials written on the blackboard. Crawfish Po' Boy and Wedding Soup were some of the specials. Since I was in the mood for a hamburger, I didn't try either. The restaurant itself is nothing special. You order in back by the grill and there are a number of small tables up front. After taking some time reviewing the menu I settled on a Memphis Blues burger... a half-pound "hand-patted" patty topped with Blue Cheese, BBQ sauce, and cole slaw. I was impressed when the guy behind the counter asked how I wanted it cooked. The proof however is in the eating and this was a good burger. The toppings on the burger combined to provide a slightly sharp almost cheddary taste chased by the flavor of fresh coleslaw. The bun was also really good. It had some texture to it suggesting it came from a local bakery rather than off a supermarket shelf. The fries were lightly seasoned and fried kind of like Five Guys fries. Everyone behind the counter was pleasant. The owner asked how I liked the burger and seemed to joke with many of the customers. I asked for coffee and he said that he made a fresh pot yesterday! Frankly, the coffee was the only shortcoming. It was strong which I don't mind, but they only had dried creamer for the coffee. I imagine if I asked for milk I could have gotten it. There were lots of things on the menu I wanted to try. They offered a variety of Po' Boys, wings, various hotdogs, Chili, and a sandwich called the Front Porch Club with ham, turkey, bacon, fried egg, cheese, mayo, lettuce and tomato. I'm not sure when I'll pass this way next, but I'd happily go back. read more

THE Best Po' Boys EVER and THE Best Hot Dogs (Next to Eddie Weeny)!!!! Totally recommend to everyone and will go back as often as possible!! read more

UPDATE: In the two years since I've been coming to Daddy's every chance I get (for living in Brooklyn), I've watched the place continue to grow and evolve. On my last visit, I had the half-sized burger, which is a great addition to their menu. It's a 1/4 lb. hand pattied burger from local beef and fresh cut fries. While Daddy's is known for over-the-top burgers and specials, it was nice to see some more health-conscious choices for when you don't feel like a 1/2 lb. burger covered in blue cheese and bacon with an entire basket of fries. PREVIOUS: No doubt that I'm a fan of Daddy's Main St. Everything is made fresh, comes out right with scary consistency for a small town restaurant, and prices are rock bottom for this quality of food. Local grass-fed beef. Menu changes every day. Friendly service. Limited seating so be prepared to wait a few minutes during lunch and dinner rush. Try the slow roasted BBQ pork shank with mustard slaw and a side of fresh cut fries (made to order). Hot dogs are dynamite. Bacon-bleu (heritage bacon) burger with homemade BBQ is also a favorite. Daddy's Main St. has passion for food. Oh, and the short-order cook is one of a kind. Born to make people hungry. read more

What a find! We were looking for lunch as we traveled on I80. Worth the short diversion. Great burgers and hot dogs. Had the Whistle Stop burger special. Excellent! My husband had the Chicago hot dog! Yum! It will be a "go to" stop anytime we are in the area read more

This is why I love yelp! Only 2 miles off of interstate 80 this humble storefront Great so delicious Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Everything is made fresh to order and the fellows that work behind the counter are quite friendly. Well worthThe two-mile diversion! read more

Easily the best place to eat in clarion. I usually get a chicken cheese steak, since this is the only place I've found in the area that makes one. Everything is cooked properly and tastes great. The fries are delicious and always made fresh. And the burgers are always changing, which is a good and bad thing. My favorites have been the bilbo baggins, which was two potato skins on a burger with bacon and cheese, and the Manny Sanguillen, which was pulled pork with a pierogie on a burger. Only problem is when you find a burger you love, it's gone next week. The staff are always friendly and have yet to have a bad experience here. read more
