I promise to try the coffee if we get there earlier. I bet it's great.

The other servers also kept staring at us which was really weird... The booths were ripped up and in desperate need of replacement and the bathroom was dirty. Yuck.

Clair's ended up being my absolute favorite, to the point that after I made my round sampling what everyone had to offer, I made my way back to Clair's tent three more times. They got my vote, and apparently enough other votes to win people's choice in the tournament. Soon thereafter, George and I took my wife to Clair's restaurant. We've now gone back so many times that we are practically on a first name basis with the servers. I have absolutely loved almost everything I've had from there. Even the stuff I wasn't as fond of was still good. My only major gripe is that a lot of the booths are not equipped to handle someone of my girth, and it's often a tight squeeze to get into them. I can understand though, they need to make them that small to maximize the space and fit in as many people in as they can, because the lines can sometimes go out the door. Still, I'm super happy we discovered this restaurant, and it's an absolute asset to the community. I hope they will be in the chili cook-off next year so I can see them win again.

well let me tell you something about this place. i recently walked out and then today bc i refused to work for a greedy selfish thief. in the 4 weeks i've been there i only got paid 2 days ago bc it was excess after excess. when i went on to the account mytoast to pull up my pay check and pay stub i do not have one. come to find out i was listed as a unpaid employee!!! when i question them. no response. when i finally did get paid. by a handwritten check not an actual paycheck. it was only for 200 when he owed me 300. he took 25 percentage for taxes. wow!!!! then we did a separate pay for my traning day for one day he to9k 25 from that. very crooked and shady. he dont wanna pay u what u r owed. other peoples pay came in but refused to hand them out bc he said they were wrong when he just didnt wanna pay bc he said they were to high. ummmmm yea. bc u haven't payed in 4 weeks. he steals our cc tips. i als9 learned he lost over 13000 at the morgantown casino. he is a gambler he will gamble on his phone leave the diner for hours only to sit and gamble. other peoples pay came in but refused to hand them out bc he said they were wrong when he just didnt wanna pay bc he said they were to high. ummmmm yea. bc u haven't payed in 4 weeks. he steals our cc tips. i als9 learned he lost over 13000 at the morgantown casino. he is a gambler he will gamble on his phone leave the diner for hours only to sit and gamble the restaurant money away that he takes from the regester at closing. he is not running a legit company. he is scamming his workers and customers. his kid toddler is always there running around. when customer's leave a tip on the cc for us he dont punch them in. he goes straight to his account. he is scum. i just wanted to make u all aware. stay clear and help stop his stealing he will probably delete this as he does with most of the reviews but i will cont. to post ever single day until he is shut down. read more

Country diner feel, nothing spectacular, you feel like you are home. You can see the regulars coming through and that's always a good sign. Our server seemed both rushed and annoyed in general. Like I said, I don't know if it's because they were short handed. We never got any coffee or water refills and it seemed like the order when it came out was a struggle. We had ordered hashbrowns for my daughter and they never came. The food is what you would expect from a diner vibe. Some really exceptional, some not so much. The pancakes were obviously a selling point, my wife's waffle was delicious. The sausage and scrapple were great for this kind of establishment. Bacon was stale and cold. The sunny eggs were actually cooked perfectly, which I never expect from anywhere, so kudos on that. The fresh fruit selection was bananas and thawed frozen blueberries. So you get what you get. Overall, stick to the pancakes, sausage and scrapple, steer clear of any fresh fruit options and don't expect much from the service if you aren't a regular. I'd still go back and try other menu options.

The good: the smoked wings with the bourbon bbq were great! The pulled pork was tender with a great smoky flavor. The ribs were tender, fell off the bones and had good flavor. The brisket was going to be good but they served more fat than meat. When weighing it brisket there should be just a sliver of fat. The sides: the home cooked claim shouldn't be mentioned on canned corn as the daily vegetable. The broccoli salad was dripping in mayo. The apple sauce was also from a jar. The smoked mac and cheese was very good! Nice and crispy. The smoked baked potato was also tender. No toppings are offered. You do NOT get barbecue sauce on the side. You can choose one to go on the meat. If you want extra it's 1.50 per side. If you don't want the side that comes with a meal (baked beans and hush puppies) it is $2 for the mac n cheese and a $1 for the broccoli. I like when places let you choose your side from their list. Maybe an up charge for a specialty side but some should not have a charge. Water needs to be filtered. Casual atmosphere. Staff were nice. I would suggest some take out meats. I would have five four start for the meat if the sides were better and the bbq sauces were on the table. It should be standard for a bbq restaurant in my opinion.
