We ordered the sliders which were made from fresh beef and really good. The service was friendly. The place is a bit dark, with a distinct bar feel to it. The ticket machine was a very popular game with the customers. read more

Really don't like to give bad reviews- probably everyone is trying .Went with a bunch of fellow golfers,who pumped it up- from prior experience here. Ordered chicken dinner. I honestly think they could have cooked a piece of the large chicken statue from outside- wouldn't have tasted worse. Super dry , chewy, basically not edible. Ok service tho. Sides - mediocre also. Can't win 'em all read more

I was planning to go to another place, but it was no longer there. So I looked at Yelp and saw the reviews for The Evening Post. They were good, and I really liked the name. I certainly never would have found it if it weren't for Yelp, as it's kind of wedged in between 2 other buildings. I walked in and was greeted immediately. It seems to be another place that's popular with locals. The server was very good, and paid attention but didn't hover. I ordered that pulled pork tacos. It was a very odd combination of things: pulled pork inside soft tortillas with onion rings, and a few tortilla chips with refried beans and cheese on the side. But somehow, it managed to satisfy a bunch of cravings all at once! And while it didn't look like a huge portion, I could only eat half of it. I brought the other half home for another day. There were lots of interesting and appealing items on the menu. Do yourself a favor and stop by when you're in town. read more

I really wanted to give this place more stars but I just couldn't. Not a fan at all of the beer I ordered, it was the Petosky cherry wheat. Was told it was more like a cider, I'm into ciders and I'm also a fan of cherry wheat. My food was just okay. The fried cauliflower was supposed to have cheese in some way, but I could not tell there was any cheese involved in the making. The chicken bacon ranch wrap was okay, I've had so much better. In my opinion it would have been way better if the chicken was not breaded. Everyone else seemed to think their food was okay too. Portions were large so beware when ordering. What I can say is that the staff seems amazing here. They all had positive attitudes and work together really well as a team. read more

We stopped on our way through because of a good review from a friend. The bone in wings didn't not disappoint! Got Kentucky Bourbon and sweet chili sauce on the side to dip the crunchy wings in. Spoke to a couple people that worked there and they were so friendly as well. Will definitely stop in again to try some more food. read more

We stopped by for a quick dinner and a beer or 2 on Friday night. Our expectations were low, but I'm happy to say we had a great time. Beer was cold, service really friendly and fast. Food came out quickly, everything was cool properly and was delicious. You guys earned a couple new fans. We will be back. read more

My fiancé and I were passing through this town for lunch and a bathroom break. We picked this place based on what we could we on yelp. I was looking for a salad with grilled chicken and he was looking for a grilled chicken sandwich. When we pulled up to this place, I though "oh, it's an actual bar." It's a bar and grill though. We're not typically "bar food" type of people but we gave it a shot. Plus I had to pee really bad. Their menu in the restaurant didn't have the grilled chicken sandwich listed, but my fiancé asked if he could have it and they said yes. His sandwich was very good. It came out it's a side of chips and a pickle. I got the chicken salad. Just a basic salad - romaine lettuce with tomato and grilled chicken with a side of your choice of dressing. I chose honey mustard which was very good. The grilled chicken was good - moist and not overdone. The lettuce and tomatoes very fresh. We were both happy with the meals. Very inexpensive. Plus clean bathrooms. If you're driving by, it's a very unassuming place, but I recommend giving it a shot. Especially if you're less picky about your food choices! read more

Fantastic experience. Will definitely go back. The burgers are about as authentic as you can get.

Always a nice spot for a burger or wings. Heck even tried a salad and it was good too. The cook/chef has been doing specials recently. They are worth trying! The staff is spot on and friendly with the service. The old building is nice and has a neighborhood bar feel. Plus the updated paint on the chicken is nice. read more

We ordered takeout - order was prompt & easy. Staff person on the phone was excellent and knowledgeable. great price, and great food! We were looking for pub style food & this exceeded our expectations! Pulled pork tacos - got 2 meals out of this!, Philly cheese sub, heart attack burger but wrap pickle chips, and cauliflower bites read more

$13.00 for a frozen cheese burger patty and fries. I was not impressed! The best part of this place was the cool photo op outside. read more

Stopped in for lunch (we're in Clare for Special Olympics State Summer Games). Popped into here for lunch. We split the Mighty Mac (homemade Mac n cheese on top of the best BBQ pork) sandwich. Topped off with a Corona & lime. Definitely hit the spot and the staff is so friendly!!! read more

Huge portions of food, but excessively greasy and tasted bad. Large space with lots of TVs. Service unpleasant and had to get my own ketchup (packets from a bin on the counter). Will never go back. read more

We go to the evening post for taco Tuesday. Pretty solid place. Unfortunately the tacos are not the best, usually get something different. Get the beef if you're going to get them. Chicken was kinda dry. Haven't tried the others so they might be good. Love their Mac and pulled pork and fries are to die for! Wings are really good as well. read more

Friendly little neighborhood joint. We shared the Cuban sandwich. Good call it was far too big for one person. The bloody Mary was delicious and service was good. read more

It is basically a bar! Nothing really fancy about the place other than the very large rooster outside the place. We had the Cuban which was great and the Rachel sandwich which was just okay, in my opinion it could have used more turkey in comparison to the ratio of coleslaw! The fries were undercooked and the chips that came with one of the sandwiches seemed to be "bottom of the bag" crumbs! The best part was the spicy pepper Jack cheese balls appetizer.....YUM! It was very clean and neat! read more

Very great food very good service 10/10 would Recommend. The Big Ben Burger is what I got and was very satisfied with my order

The WINGS are DELICIOUS! My friend and I ordered 16 wings each thinking that they would be typical wimpy bar wings. When four plates of wings came to the table we realized that we were WRONG. These wings are huge and crispy and delicious! Also, if you get the blue cheese and celery on the side they bring you an entire plate of celery! I had the fire sauce (buffalo sauce) and bbq sauce and they were both very good. Food was great, beer was cheap, service was friendly...not much more you can ask for! read more

We ended up in Clare because it was the halfway point for meeting a friend. After realizing most of the other restaurants don't serve beer we decided to drive around till something caught our eye. The giant rooster outside the Evening Post drew us in immediately. This local dive bar was a great choice. The customer service was outstanding. They greeted us quickly and were happy to answer questions and take special requests with a smile. We were happy that they had a couple micro brews on tap, in addition to the standard big name beers you'd expect to find in a small town bar/grill. I ordered the wet burrito with no meat and light cheese. It was big and filing but didn't sit like a lump in my belly. There were ample toppings and the sauce in top was tasty. My husband and his friend ordered burgers topped with green olives. They both said they were good but nothing special. I tried the coleslaw and thought it was one of the better ones I've had. read more

Took a long time to get drinks after getting service. Food was cold. Burger was eatable.

Just passing through town looking for a non-chain restaurant for lunch. Typical yummy bar food. We got burgers, wings and chili cheese fries and were all happily satisfied! read more

Nice local bar, stopped on the way back to metro Detroit from up north. Would def recommend the broasted chicken!! I'm a sucker for a bar wet burrito and this was above average. Friendly cook and bartender limited beer selection but cheap as hell. Looked like you could order buckets of the broasted chicken to go, if I lived closer I def would. read more

We had a great time visiting with the owner Tracy and his staff. Friendly, comfortable setting with a variety of beers.

Wait staffed was really good. Food was just ok. Saw some things in the kitchen area I didn't care for. Fish was over cooked with burnt grease. Wish I could have given more stars. read more

This is a burger bar with big portions and friendly service. Many locals seem to hang out here and enjoy each other's company. Unfortunately, cleanliness is not to be expected. We watched a waitress drop silverware on an obviously dirty floor {lots of crumbs and debris visible) then place it on a table top for an unsuspecting customer to eat with. I asked for a manager to report the health violation, but no manager was on duty. The toilet was fowled and unusable. Our server was great. Very prompt and friendly. She acknowledged the problems we observed but couldn't do anything to correct them. read more

I had a really good Ruben & fries I enjoy their tuna salad as well. Attentive & polite staff, food arrives fairly quick and tasty. Would recommend read more

It was the reviews on Yelp that influenced my decision to eat here, so I was disappointed to find that the place was, well, a disappointment. Neither of us was impressed with our meal; I had the chicken the waitress said they are "known for" and it was...meh. There were 3 people sitting at the bar, and another table with 2 patrons, and that was it, yet our waitress seemed very distracted. We waited for quite a while after being seated to have her take our orders, and then my dinner companion had to ask for mustard several times. I realize it's a bar, therefore I realize not to set the bar too high, but I expected better based on the reviews. Oh, and even though it's a bar and of course I'm aware people are going to be served alcohol and maybe get a little tipsy even on a Sunday night, but the person tending bar should know when it's time to cut someone off (ie: when they speak far too loudly even though seated between their companions, and when they fall over, stool and all... yeah, that happened). That person was granted another beer upon request...smh. I know there are fewer places to choose from during off season periods, but I'll have to be pretty desperate to try this place again. read more

Big wet burrito. Filled with lots of meat. Good presentation, topped with romaine. Husband enjoyed it a lot. I had a normal side salad, nothing fabulous, but was happy it was romaine and not iceberg lettuce. But the big pretzel and beer cheese was BIG and filling. Great! read more

Great whitefish; good burgers. And the atmosphere, while nothing fancy, is amazingly bright and clean for a small-town bar; it's a place you can bring kids. Service was friendly and prompt. While we have not yet had the opportunity to experience their breakfasts, we have been told that their breakfast menu is good. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add more Michigan beers to their lineup. read more

A basic " drinkin' bar" atmosphere inside, but sheltered patio seating in the summer months. Typical up- north bar food, heavy on the fried stuff -- but really good fish. Not a lot of beer choices. We've always had fast, courteous service here. Weekday blackboard lunch specials liven up the menu. read more

Great food, best wings around, service is awesome look forward to go there every time

Best steak sandwich around!! The burgers were excellent and the waitstaff was great. They were able to prepare my food gluten free.

Great service! Everyone has a smile and a good attitude! Food was served quickly and was very tasty!

Place was very busy. Plenty of wait staff. Chicken wings are huge. Southwest egg rolls were a great appetizer. Very good food for the price.

Food was great, probably worst service I've had though, they never asked me if I needed anything and I had to get up after 15 min to get a refill and I used the thing to fill it up myself read more

I would consider their food and their service average. After we placed our order, it seemed like it took quite sometime for it to come. There just isn't it that much that recommends this place and I am pretty sure that it is going to be quite sometime before returning. read more

Out of towners visiting Jays Sporting Goods in Clare. Based on reviews tried The Evening Post Bar & Grill. We dine all over Michigan, Chicago and other large cities. My husband got the Big Ben Burger and I got the Kentucky Bourban Burger. Both flavorful and very juicy! The jalapeno & cheese stuffed corn fritter appetizer was piping hot and GOOD! Definitely will go back again. THANKS! :-) read more
