    Biscuits and Gravy with 2 eggs
    Tina G.

    Yuuumm! So glad I came here! Three of us went and it's a cute little place with a great Breakfast! We started with the Cinnamon Streusel Muffin. It comes with the butter but I'd skip it next time. It's so tasty it doesn't need it. I loved the Breakfast Sandwich. The over medium eggs had a perfect cook, the bacon is thick and the roll is soft. Sooo tasty and not too big. I want it again! My hubby had the Bacon & Egg combo. He said it was all good except the potatoes were flavorless and needed salt and seasoning. Mom had the biscuits & gravy with two eggs. They have good gravy. Nice flavor balance! They have a tight parking lot for a big pickup truck and not much street parking. The staff is really friendly. I can't wait to try more of their menu!

    This small home style diner was extremely busy when we arrived, and parking was very limited but the food made it completely worth it. My favorite item was the cinnamon streusel muffin, served warm with butter melting on top. It honestly tasted like heaven. Despite how packed the place was, the service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly kind, our food came out quickly, and they were great about refilling drinks and coffee. Such a cute, welcoming diner. I would definitely come back.

    Love Clarkies! Decided to come here after camping at the regional park and they did not disappoint. There were 19 of us in our group but we didn't have to wait long to get seated. Service was top notch and everyone was super friendly. Our food came out quickly and hot. Everything tasted good, especially the cinnamon streusel muffin (took one to go because it was just that good). Definitely coming back the next time we're in the area. Thank you Clarkie's Diner

    The place is big. The servers were fast and friendly. The food is a lot that you can share. I recommend the coffee cake. It is a must try.

    First time trying this restaurant nice service I choose a turkey sandwich because it was $8.95 with chips Most everything on the menu is $17 or more and the portions looked huge I'd come again when in the area for a breakfast which looks amazing

    Small town feel diner with huge portions. The staff is friendly and the food quality and service is excellent. Pricing is on point for quality, quantity, and selection. Parking can be a pain, but worth waiting for a space or finding one off site.

    Anyone know if I you can order from them via one of the food delivery services?

    They do not have that option. Its pick up only.

    When did they start closing on Sundays?

    I believe it was several months ago. One of my friends let me know and I called Clarkies to confirm. Everyone deserves a day off and there are plenty of other places to go.

    Gluten free cinnamon streusel?

    I don't know but it'll be worth the upset stomach 😃

The roasted cauliflower sandwich with whipped tahini, cotija, mint, and walnut-sultana relish is one of my favorites.

The chef even sent over bread pudding complementary. When we told the server it wasn't for us, he just smiled and said, "It's definitely for this table." Super gracious, no awkwardness. The eggs were perfectly medium, the breakfast sandwich was one of the most uniquely tasty sandwiches I've ever had, and even the tea stood out. It was tasted freshly brewed with a hint of currant. Everything felt thoughtfully unique without being pretentious. Easily a top 3 breakfast spot for me. Now I understand why this place has a perfect 5 stars on Yelp. It's an absolute gem.

    Food: We ordered the half Reuben sandwich with a side of warm German potato salad, a spicy…read moreHungarian sausage, and finished with a cherry strudel for dessert alongside a German beer on tap. The Reuben and potato salad combo was especially hearty and satisfying, with rich, savory flavors that felt very true to a classic deli experience. The Hungarian sausage had a great depth of flavor, savory and well-seasoned without tipping into being overly salty. The cherry strudel was a standout to end the meal, filled generously with cherries and syrup, wrapped in a flaky pastry that balanced sweetness and texture really well. The beer tied everything together nicely, cold and refreshing, and exactly what you'd want with this kind of meal. I still prefer Busy Bees in San Pedro, but this was a nice alternative within the IE area. Price: George's Market falls into a casual, reasonable deli pricing tier. Sandwiches like the Reuben and similar deli items are generally in the mid‑teens range, while sausage plates and hot meals can push closer to around $15-20 depending on what you get. Beer and imported items vary, but overall you can expect to spend about $15-25 per person for a solid, filling meal. Given the quality, portion sizes, and specialty nature of the food, the pricing feels fair. Ambiance: The space is part cozy German market, part deli counter, with a warm, wood-heavy interior that feels inviting and a bit nostalgic. There's both indoor seating and an outdoor area, giving flexibility depending on the weather or how busy it is. Beyond the dining area, the market itself sells a wide range of German groceries and specialty products, which adds to the charm and makes it feel like more of an experience than just a quick meal. Service: Service was good and impressively efficient given how busy it gets. There was a noticeable line when we went (especially on a weekend lunch time), but things moved steadily and the staff kept everything organized without feeling rushed or chaotic. Friendly and straightforward overall. Parking: Parking is one of the easier parts of the visit. It's located in a plaza with a large shared lot, so there's plenty of space and no real hassle finding a spot, even during peak hours.

We ordered two bánh mì sandwiches (shrimp and lemongrass beef) along with an order of four fried egg rolls. Their fired egg roll option are only available in either shrimp or pork. They were tasty, but I would have loved to see a chicken option on the menu as well. One thing to note: jalapeños are automatically added to the bánh mì, so be sure to request no jalapeños when ordering if you're sensitive to spice. The seasoning and flavors in both bánh mì sandwiches were excellent, and all of the vegetables served with the bánh mì and egg rolls were fresh and crisp. In my opinion, it's often the little details like fresh produce that reveal the quality of a restaurant, and this place definitely delivered. We arrived around 7:30 PM and were a little concerned that we might feel rushed since it was getting close to closing time. Fortunately, that wasn't the case at all. The staffs allowed us to enjoy our meal at a comfortable pace, and we never felt pressured to leave. The dining area had two TVs showing family-friendly programming--one featured a Vietnamese cooking show, while the other was airing FIFA coverage on a news channel. It created a relaxed atmosphere, and we enjoyed a calm dinner with our 3- and 6-year-old children after a long day at the lavender farm. I also tried the Orange Thai Iced Tea. It was refreshing, though I didn't really notice much orange flavor. There are two individual single-stall restrooms available, and both were clean. Families will also appreciate that high chairs are conveniently located near the sauce and drink station. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and would definitely return. Next time, I'd love to try their pho!

And compared to a chain place like Subway, I feel like I get better value for my money, esp on the 12" subs. For vegetarians, just one note on the veggie sub: add cheese and ask for extra seasoning or it's a little bland. You could also add pepperoncinis if you like a little heat. They have fountain drinks, plus some bottled ones like Snapple. There'a a good variety of chips to get a little crunch alongside a bready sub. It's a classic combo for a reason, right? I do have to take one star off for the soup I ordered last time. It was touted as a delicious broccoli cheddar and there was " only one bowl left!" I was too trusting LOL. It was very watery and seemed to have been a soup mix microwaved and served in a thin plastic container. Sigh. And my hopes were so high. Oh well. I'll keep coming for the good deal on subs (they also have specials based on the day of the week) and the small family business feel.

The turkey tasted like it was bought from the Costco deli meat pack. They only put like 2 or 3 slices of turkey on the sandwich. The bacon looked and tasted like store bought ready made bacon from Hormel or Oscar Meyer. No flavor and salty. I think they put like 3 or 4 very small slices of bacon on the sub. The cheese was regular white American. I guess you can go wrong with good old American cheese. But again, they only put 3 or 4 thin slices on the sub. I would have gotten a better sub from Jersey Mike's or even Subway. And saying Subway is a better sub...now that's really saying something about this place. If you want a better quality sub, go to Jersey Mike's, Subway or even Von's.

    Super Subs Updated review-- A MUST-VISIT in Banning!…read more If you haven't been to Super Subs, you're seriously missing out! This little family-owned shop is one of those hidden gems where the food is just as impressive as the people behind it. The Asian Chicken Sandwich is still! The chicken is flavorful, the vegetables are fresh and crispy, and that sauce brings everything together perfectly. And if you like a little kick, ADD THE JALAPEÑOS! That extra heat takes this sandwich to another level. Then there's the Pastrami Sandwich... WOW. The pastrami is amazing, and they don't play around with portions. You get a sandwich that actually feels like a meal--not one of those sad little subs where you're wondering where the meat went. The portion sizes are just right, the ingredients are fresh, and the prices are really reasonable for what you get. But what makes Super Subs even better is the family behind it. They're military veterans who genuinely give back and care about their community. You can feel that hometown pride and hospitality the moment you walk in. This isn't some giant chain where you're just another order number--it feels personal. Great food Great portions Great prices Fresh ingredients Friendly people Community-minded family Super Subs is absolutely a MUST VISIT. Support this local family business, grab an Asian Chicken with jalapeños, try that pastrami, and thank me later! 10/10 -- I'll definitely be back!

The owners Ben and Diana are very kind and sweet. They opened it about 24 years ago, which to me says a lot about them and their sandwiches. Not to mention, they just seem like good people and their love for the community. Thank you Ben and Diana. We loved our sandwiches and will definitely be coming back for more. The picture of my Asian sandwich below does not do the sandwich justice, however it was delicious!
