It's a small place and super cute. The service is friendly and hardworking! They were always on the go. The place was packed and they kept busy. The menu had a nice assortment of food!! It was reasonably priced too. Our party enjoyed the food and we would return for another meal. So if you are in the Santee area and looking for a fun dining experience with good food and atmosphere, I'm going to tell you to give this place a shot. Thanks to Yelp for helping us locate this place.

We couldn't find it at first using Google maps, so we called the restaurant's number (on Yelp) and learned about the new location. All the old photos no longer apply. Service was lovely; we had a very friendly server. The ambience of the place is generic hotel-restaurant, but the breakfasts were delicious, and had that comfort-food vibe. We're very glad we gave it a chance. Side note: It was very quiet, so we played our Pandora app for 'music to eat by' .

Justin was our server and he actually greeted us outside. We did not wait more than 2 minutes before someone greeted us at the host stand and actually apologized for making us wait! As we were walking to our table, we noticed the fireplace going and it had real wood! It was so cozy! Justin approached us not long after and offered us to order drinks. We ordered waters, wine, and beer. So the last time we dined at Cracker Barrel was almost 11 years ago because we became deathly ill. The last time, I do not believe they served alcohol so we were surprised seeing it on the menu. Our drinks were delivered quickly and Justin offered us to order dinner. Hubs ordered the Country Fried Turkey with mac and cheese and hashbrown casserole. I ordered the Country Vegetable Plate with green beans, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, and hashbrown casserole. Justin came back later and informed us there was only enough hashbrown casserole for one of us so he said I could order a side salad for no extra charge-sweet! Our food arrived not too long after and the salad was massive! Very fresh too! The Hashbrown casserole was good, everything else was okay but not magnificent. When we went to checkout, there were people taking way too long while their f'in kids were causing havoc in the store so we paid by using the QR code on the receipt. Our check was $45, which was pretty decent for 2 meals, 2 beers, and 1 wine. Oh but there were charges for getting apple butter and having a mix of biscuits and cornbread- was not aware of that when ordering. The bathroom was as clean as it could be but definitely needs to be upgraded. Best part of all, we did not get sick! We will be back if we are in the area again.

Definitely an dish and worth the $8. I've added a picture. I also had the Blackberry Basil Whiskey Sour. So, yummy. $12. For my entree I went with the hamburger steak with ceasar salad and mashed potatoes for my sides. I ordered the hamburger steak cooked medium but it came out well done and a bit dry. There was a dab of thick congealed gravy on top. The gravy was ok, but cold it tasted a bit of raw flour. The mashed potatoes were awesome and definitely helped the hamburger steak out. I will probably eat here again next time I'm in town. I think are new snd still finding their groove.

Hello, we have been patronizing Clark's for nearly 8 years and compared to many establishments…read morewe've visited throughout our lifetime Clark's has a FEEL none can match. The food is exceptional and has surpassed any expectation regarding cuisine we've experienced in many different restaurants. Regarding staffing, no words can express the sincere professionalism, courtesy, kindness, friendliness, warmth that is received with each and every visit. Namely Danny (irreplaceable), Mark (irreplaceable), Donna (irreplaceable) Melvin (irreplaceable), "Field" (irreplaceable), Jamie (irreplaceable), Olivia (irreplaceable). If we have forgotten anyone, please forgive us but I am POSITIVE they too add a sense of class and elegance to this fine establishment. Our only concern and disappointment is the newly appointed manager by the name of "Lance" who by our personal observation does NOT relate well with the staff and communicates with them in a disrespectful and abrasive manner. He exhibits mannerisms more suitable for a fast-food establishment. In our opinion he is definitely NOT qualified as Clark's material. We considered never re-visiting Clark s restaurant until he was no longer on staff, however staff insisted we return and not let his temperament dampen our experience. For those who frequent Clark's, please continue to patronize this great establishment and enjoy the unique FEEL and AMBIANCE that makes Clark's the beautiful place that it is..... To the owners we wish you blessings and continued success!! And it was a honor and pleasure meeting both Mr. Mrs. Clark in person.

My daughter ordered the Togarashi Crusted Carolina Grouper which she said was delicious.

We really enjoy this place and typically come for brunch on Sunday's and this was our first time having dinner there, we will return. Also not pictured, we had the calamari (8/10), artichoke dip (8.3/10) and bread basket (6.5/10).
