Was in town for a funeral. Got in late. Stopped here, was originally worried by the exterior. Walked in, eyed the tap list (30 handles, 3/4 craft and local), decided that I should stay. Glad I did. Burgers were nice - has the Pub Inferno and it was fairly spicy. Best option in town for a beer and a meal that I saw read more

Good food, but there HUGE menu is annoying. and the problem that make me most frustrated is you half to get there items exactly like the menu says, you cannot modify it at all!!! I only want a plain cheeseburger, I dont want it sent out with a GARDEN on it! read more

While traveling through PA we stopped in Clearfield last night (7-10-16). Our hotel recommended this restaurant. We arrived around 8:30pm and waited for a hostess at the hostess station. We waited 10 minutes before my wife asked a bartender if they have a hostess, she was told "I'm the host and its not going to happen" while he was making drinks. There were 3 people behind the bar. Naturally we left and shared this with our hotel. Sorry no stars for you! read more

Our food was great. Such good flavor. My 13 year old son tried the 2 lb burger challenge. It was so worth it and fun for him. We had fun watching him try to eat. Lol. The staff was friendly and very on top of refills. Thanks for a great experience. read more

What is there to not like? My friends and I decided to take the 2 hour drive to find this place to see if it was as good as it was rated on TV. It is everything they said on TV and more. The service was some of the best. Unfortunately, I don't remember the waitresses name, but she was constantly checking to see if we needed anything else and was extremely friendly, the way it should be. The burgers are to die for!! I had the half pound burger and I must say it was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. My one other friend had the pizza burger and the other one had wings. No complaints from either of them. Pricing: I found it to be fair. $7.95 is very fair for the size burger I received. I was very happy. Since it is 2 hours away I can't say I will go there often, but I will definitely return to this great place! Thanks for the great food and service. Many other restaurant owners should take note and provide such excellent food and service! read more

Great burgers. 40 beers on tap. My husband and I stopped after a trip to the Finger Lakes in New York. Wonderful burgers with fast and friendly service. Had a side of the beer coated French fries. Crisp and hot. Very good. read more

Best wings ever..we started with cheese and sausage stuffed pretzels followed by bacon ranch wings and coaches special ..talk about delicious..yummo read more

Burger was great and the beer selection was surprisingly varied - so glad we tried this place!. The jalapeno cheese bites were perfect paired with a Smithtown smoked peach short Weiss wheat ale! Very happy girl read more

I did choose the create a burger and veggie in on there. So is the wrap. And I was told no.

This place is FANTASTIC! Their menu is Huge. They have pizza, wings, steaks, seafood, Mexican, Italian, Irish, soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, gyros... But it's the burgers that do it: 1/3 lb., 1/2 lb., 1-lb., 2-lb., 3-lb., 6-lb., 15-lb., 50-lb., 100-lb.+. I e-mailed to request a 15-pound burger, as my friends and I were coming from Ohio and DC to meet at Denny's Beer Barrel. Denny wrote me back (how often does THAT happen today?). He said he wouldn't be there that day, but he would take care of it. Because I told him what time we would be there, the Ginormous Burger was on our table within 10 minutes of our arrival. Fantastic! Great service, great burger, ice-cold beer, and multiple football games on the TVs. Fantastic!! I'll be driving thru PA in the next couple of weeks, and we're going to stay over in Clearfield, just to go to Denny's Beer Barrel Pub! read more

Unique experience, good food, and friendly environment. Worth the detour. Better than we expected.

I loved this place. The service was on point. The waitress was amazing and knowledgeable of everything they had on the menu. The bartender explained a drink to my friend. And the price was on point for what we ordered. So what if you have to pay for a bottle of water. So if your not a princess and are ready to eat some good food then this is the spot for you!!!!! read more

Waitress was very rude when asking questions about the menu. Guess she thinks allergies are a joke and had no time for us. No big deal we won't be back! Plenty of other restaurants to spend money at. read more

It gets crowded but the service is excellent and the food is always delicious. I've never personally had a bad experience here and I go here to eat about once a month. Best beer battered fires I ever ate. read more

The food is good. The servers are usually pleasant. The kitchen is incredibly slow. The menu is way too big. I live right down the road so I eat here a few times per year. The food is consistently good. I usually get a cheese steak, and my girl gets a steak. She gets hers medium well and they always come out nicely. On our last trip our server was very nice, but I've met way too many at this place that were down right grumpy. If the restaurant is nearly empty, half capacity or standing room only you shouldn't show up starving because you may not last until you get your food. My biggest complaint stems from our most recent trip. I wanted my cheese steak with no lettuce and no tomato. The waitress told me that I couldn't make any substitutions. I politely told her that I was asking for less things on my sandwich , which means less cost for the restaurant. She told me that there was no button on her computer to make any changes. I asked if she could tell the kitchen to omit the extra toppings. "The owner doesn't want us to have any kind of communication with the kitchen staff." WTF? What kind of restaurant doesn't want their servers and cooks to communicate? She then told us the owner told her what to do if anyone complained about no substitutions. "Tell them that if they don't like it they can go eat somewhere else." Now she didn't tell us to do that, just relayed what he had told her. She also told us a few other stories about how the owner treats her. I nearly got up and left then, but I was treating my mother for her 50th birthday. I did somehow get my sandwich without the lettuce and tomato. My onion straws came out a bit cold with no marinara sauce that the menu promised me. I asked her how she was going to get me that if she wasn't allowed to talk to the kitchen. I eventually got the sauce after about a 10 minute wait. While I like the food at Denny's, I don't think I'll return any time soon after the ownership stories. read more

Burger meh/yummy. Friendly server. NO FREE WATER?!? WTF?

*ahem* First and foremost, I should have listened to my gut and got up and left the second I sat down, asked for water, and was told they had to charge me. Who charges for water?! -- Denny's Bland Barrel does. Ridiculous! Secondly, apparently when you ask for a burger done to specifications such as : medium rare, medium, medium well or well -- it all comes out the same. BURNT. The waitress made us feel as if we interrupting her job. Oh wait. You're welcome. You are welcome for the 20% tip on over priced burnt burgers an unwelcoming service. I'm actually feeling regretful for tipping so much. It's like rewarding bad behavior. No worried though, won't happen again. We never be returning there again. Too over hyped. Completely overrated. And we are completely disappointed. And stop charging for water!!! Absurd! Is there something environmentally unsafe with it???? Then... What are you cooking and washing dishes with?!?! read more

I'm giving dennys two stars because my experiences have been so spastic that I cannot justify anything better. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes it's bad. Either way you're waiting at least 45 minutes for it. If the house is packed with customers the wait staff is always over worked, I'll assume someone's trying to save a buck. No reservations on weekends, SUCK. If you go any night other than Monday-Wednesday then you'll be waiting 30-60 minutes to get in, 10 for your drinks, and another 45 to get your meal. Oh yeah, no free water. 2$ a bottle. It's not surprising they sell so much beer. The building is very large but most of the time only half the space is utilized, while customers pack into the entrance to start their 45 minute wait. While waiting you are able to look at Denny's articles from little known magazines and news papers. Just to feed your appetite for the undeserved hype. People actually travel to clearfield and go to Denny's for a 'good meal', which sometimes you are able to get. My experiences have been mostly very bland meals that I feel I could prepare better myself. If I order a steak and am offered steak sauce I know I'm in for a disappointment. My steaks there have been juicy but absolutely tasteless. For 20$ that is absurd. I suppose I could go on for days because I've made so many visits to this place. Sometimes decent, sometimes BAD, but never exceptional. Don't like mayo? TOO BAD YOULL LEARN TO LIKE IT TONIGHT! WHY?! Because they have a very strict 'no substitution' rule. I'll assume this is so their kitchen staff can continue to act as machines and push out the mediocre food as fast as possible and get you to use the 'create a burger' option. You will be paying significantly more for the same thing without mayo/tomato ect. MERICA Dennys does NOT deserve five stars. The only reason it has five stars is because of the hype it's created for the horrid burger creations they've invented for the general public to come 'ooh and awe' at. What kind of society do we live in where a 5lb burger even exists? Only in clearfield. read more

The food is okay, but the service is S L O W. We waited an hour for a table then another hour for our food. No substitutions of the burgers is crazy and I asked for a glass of water (due to illness I can't drink anything else) and they brought me a bottle of water--I hate to pay for water in a restaurant! Our server was friendly, but again the food was extremely slow, I was hungry when I got there and starving by the time the food came around. I probably won't go back. read more

Long waits, krappy food that you can't modify, prices are crazy, poor wait staff. Will not recommend nor eat there again.

Great food and awesome variety! It is a family favorite for birthdays and momentous occasions.

12:03pm Wed 2:09pm I was a every weekend customer ,My fiancée and I spend a lot of money drinking the awesome craft beers and eating the great burgers .We recently went in on a Sat. evening and got menus got a Breakfast stout ,there were seven TVs on we sat at the bar the two TV's in front of us had the same sports talk show on the next one had a Cardinals game on I never ask for anything ,I asked if we could get one turned to the Pittsburgh Pirates game it was a 7 pm game after at 7:15 I ask again politely We asked a total of four times I gave back our menus and went down the road ate and watched the game .That was the first time in all my years going there that I ever asked if they could put a game on it wouldn't have been so bad if anyone was watching the two TVs right in front of us and the three seats beside us were empty ,I will be letting a review on friends are telling me I really should do one .I hope you decide to treat loyal customer's better in the future I had been going there since the 80s will not be back !! read more

OMG. Best food ever. Great service, friendly atmosphere. This place is a little hidden gem.

I really found this place by chance as we were driving back to Ohio from a game against Penn State. They had on the football game we were looking to watch and that was our main goal. We were seated right away but it took the waitress a while to come by. We did have menus but it was so damn big I thought I would just ask her for any recommendations. I was told they have burgers....thanks I caught that by reading the menu. Because I wasn't ready to order and she failed to give me a suggestion she said that she would come back. No problem, that is fine...of course by come back she meant 15 min later. By this point me and my friend decided to try the Blitzburgh platter. 20 wings, onion rings, cheese sticks, jalapeño poppers, sounded like we couldn't go wrong. We tried the hot bacon garlic wings, I have never heard of this combination and thought it sounded good. What arrived I am not sure how to explain. I have never seen so much sauce on wings. I would normally say this is a good thing until I had these wings. The sauce looked like some type of mix between gravy and thick Italian dressing. The sauce was absolutely terrible and is the worst wing I have ever eaten. I forced down one wing and my friend took one bite before he gave up. The remainder of the platter was unimpressive as well. The cheese sticks were the highlight. Their other wing sauces may be good but I beg you to stay away from this sauce. A table next to us also commented on them and we offered them some but unlike us they were wise and declined. The service never got any better either. She never came back to check on how the food was. We got the check and then it was another 15 min for the waitress to take our money. For some unknown reason we gave a $12 tip on a $28 bill. I think it was the fact that we were so tired and didn't want to have to wait another 15 min for change or a bill to sign The waitress was shocked and she should have been, it was probably in the top 3 of worst services I have ever had. Stay away from the hot bacon garlic wings!!! It has been 2 days and I still want to vomit thinking about them. read more

I saw this place on the Travel Channel and told Bill that we had to go there. It was supposed to take us 2 hrs from somerset to get there and it ended up taking 4 hours because apparently i cant read directions to save my life. We Were both pretty pissed at each other, but when we found the place ( after bill asked an employee at sheetz were the place was) all the anger went away and we had a really good time. The food was excellent. We both had one of their burgers ( I believe I had the hillbilly burger) It was so big that once again I had to take it home. He finished his in like 2 minutes, He should have done the burger challenge ( I know he would have finished it in the allotted time....) The wait staff was very attentive, even the though the place was packed, they took real good care of us. This place is worth the drive from anywhere. I highly suggest you check it out. ( note: I trust the travel channel more than that moron guy fieri....) read more

We were traveling on I-80 looking online for a place to have a late lunch around 3pm. We saw that Denny's was highly rated for burgers, so we decided to try it out. We ordered burgers and fries. They were not busy - maybe 2 other tables were occupied, but it still took around 35 minutes for the meals to be served after we ordered. The fries were good, but not terribly hot. The burgers had been ordered pink in the middle. They tasted good, but there was no pink at all. I would consider them well done. We also got some potato chips. They had great crispness, but they were heavily seasoned with seasoning salt. If you like seasoning salt, you would like them. I personally prefer plain salt, so I was not that thrilled with the chips. The server was nice, but didn't check back with us after dropping off the meals. We waited about 15 minutes after we were finished eating before she came to see if we wanted anything else. Overall, it was a dining experience that had potential, but fell short in a few ways. Not bad, but left room for improvement. read more

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub is a very nice sports bar in the area. Many, many burger options as well as numerous pub selections. The deep fried pickles are second to none. LARGE beer selection. Easy to get to, easy parking. This will be a regular stop when I am in the area. read more

I'll start off by explaining why I even gave two stars. First and foremost, the beer selection, they have a lot of crafts on tap, kudos. Second and lastly, the creative burgers on the menu. If only they could execute them oh if only.....let's start with the meat, I'm convinced I could cook a better tasting burger in a microwave, and I don't like being negative but seriously. Please try using some seasoning like salt and pepper! Salt and pepper goes such a long way on a burger!! It was a meat patty with no seasoning. Ok so maybe I could get past the bland meat with good toppings. The bacon, couldn't taste it... the grilled onions, could barely taste them....the Swiss American cheese, way overpowering. There was so much it was essentially all I could taste. The BBQ sauce? It was so incredibly bland I wasn't even aware that was possible for BBQ sauce. I dipped my finger in some that fell off the side and as soon as I put it on my tongue it dissipated. So weird. The fries were good at least, crushed those. If this place could bring some flavor to their burger concoctions I'd make the drive out here even when I'm not in town for business bc they sound that awesome. I hope they see this and make some adjustments. I couldn't be anymore genuine about what I've said. read more

Have no idea how the food was at Denny's. Stood in line and never had a hostess or waitress stop to take our name to wait for a table. Do not recommend. read more

What can I say about this place? If nothing else, they are upfront and honest. They will not cook your burger to order. Well done is all they'll do. All the toppings and cheeses in the world couldn't make it edible. If you like well done burgers stop by, but if not make sure to order something else or go to Red Robin. We went on Fathers Day, and I wasn't sure if they were just under staffed, but it took almost an hour for our appetizer to come out. We ordered the "hot bacon garlic" wings. They were bacony and garlicy but only temperature hot... Not spicy in the least. We thought the kitchen may have made a mistake, but were so hungry after the long wait that we ate it anyway. I was another 40 minutes after we had finished the appetizer before the burgers arrived. All in all I was very unimpressed with the food, and we actually wished we had spent the 3 hours somewhere else instead of being served subpar wings and burgers. read more

Guess we should have ordered the burgers that they seem to be famous for, but my husband and I were hungry for steaks....not a smart decision. Both of our steaks were very tough and we did not discuss it with each other until later so as not to be rude in front of the rest of our party. We were both thinking the same thing....This was a stop on a vacation, but won't stop again. read more

Do not trust all of the hype, this pub is mediocre at best. There was no hostess to seat you... just a sign that directs you to wait to be seated. My son, 12yo, and I came on a late lunch on 8/30/13, a Friday, and the place was not busy. We were the only ones waiting to be seated and had to wait 5 minutes with no acknowledgement that we were even there. We felt funny, but pushed through these awkward feelings -- thinking it was just us. After reading some others' experiences, I guess we should not complain, but this issue should be rethought by owner/mgmt - if they even care which I really question due to the water issue. It was a nice day, not too hot for a summer day, but warm. I needed some water. Ordered tap water and they could only provide bottled water which is overpriced. I needed water so paid for it. Food quality was mediocre/acceptable but flavor of garlic butter wings and a philly cheesesteak was not great and closer to awful. We went to try a "famous" hyped burger, but son decided to try the garlic butter wings and I tried a philly cheese steak sub. The wings were ok at best and the flavor was average, which was way, way better than the flavor of philly cheesesteak. Denny's philly cheese steak was loaded with lettuce and sliced tomatoes which I've never really seen on a philly cheese steak anywhere (even in Lancaster or Phila or Harrisburg or Johnstown), but could not change the item from the menu anyway, but figured was my fault for not reading the menu closer. Ok, so I removed them myself onto my plate by hand as they did not even give us any utensils. Fortunately, they had a roll of cheap papertowels on the table. The meat on the philly cheese steak was flavorless thicker cuts of steak/beef, easy enough to chew, not the regular cheese steak slices, but flavorless. I think they forgot to put any cheese on to this sub, but remember seeing what was possibly a hint of melted cheese the one time I had opened it up to load ketchup onto it as the accompaning sauce on the side was horrible tasting (not of my preference of taste). Thank goodness our waitress walked by and provided us with a bottle of ketchup that actually had ketchup. With Heinz, the philly cheesesteak was edible - good thing I love ketchup. She did get me the one free refill of sweet tea but my son never got a refill on his soda, but at that point, we were just trying to escape. Overall I would recommend going to McDonalds, or any other restaurant before going back to this over-hyped dive. Dive lovers, this may be for you. My son and I, we will go to Red Robin, Five Guys, Wendy's, McDonalds, Burger King, Subway or a truck stop for better food before going back to this dive. Thumbs way down. read more

Melissa was awesome! We had a large group of 30 people and her service was excellent. Very friendly and accommodating! Made our family gathering fun! The food is great too! She even helped us pick out some cool shirts in the bottle room! read more

Got as far as the "please wait to be seated" sign and waited 10 minutes. Then we left. Nobody was waiting in front of us. It took 5 minutes for a waitress to acknowledge that we were there. read more

Extremely mediocre food. Unique experience in having the super bitch hostess coming up to us in the middle of our meal and telling us she messed up by seating us because she was losing money on our table (even though we had 5 people ordering appetizers, drinks, and food non-stop). We were there for a while watching football, but "It's not our fault, it's mine" isn't exactly welcoming service. read more

We were staying over night in the area and asked at our hotel where we should go and they recommended Denny's beer barrel pub. She stated they have been featured on food network and have a great beer selection on tap. We got there and found 3 seats at the bar. Melissa the bartender came over and asked what we want to drink. She got our drinks and asked us what we wanted for food. We asked her for some time and she kept coming over and getting pushy every time we still said we were not ready. One of the people I was with asked if they had a cherry beer and Melissa states, "that's what the sign on the tap says." She was just unpleasant and rushed us completely along. When the food came out we had asked for extra crispy bacon on bacon burger quesadilla and the Jamaican jerk chicken with bacon. The jerk chicken sandwich came with raw bacon and and the bacon burger quesadilla came with no bacon. We didn't want to say anything because Melissa was rude enough as it was. The food was sub par and the service we received was not good. The other two bartenders seems pleasant, however they were not the ones who interacted with us. read more

Some of my old family is from Clearfield and Woodland. Most are gone, but we were driving though the area and decided to stop and visit our one last living relative in the area. She is 87 years old and suggested this place. We went around 330pm. When we got there there were oy a few people in the restaurant, however, we had to wait 15 minutes because they only had tall tables left and at 87, that was not happening. When I looked, I noticed most of the place was filled with tall tables and chairs and there were few regular size tables and chairs. Yet, they filled the regular sized tables and not the tall tables. And all the people sitting at these regular tables were all younger. One would think that the person seating people would put people into the taller tables unless they needed to be at the regular tables, leaving the regular tables open for people that needed them. We were told that customets prefer the shorter tables. Well, them the restaurant should invest in more regular sized tables instead of mostly tall ones! After we were finally seated, I saw another gentleman who needed to use awalker also needed to wait because there were no regular tables available. As far as the food, I found my burger tasty. I ordered the Italian Stallion Burger which came topped with basically an Italian Sub. It was good. Only chips came with the burgers, which was disappointing. Fries had to be ordered separately. Would be better if they offered a $1 up charge for fries instead of having to purchase a basket of fries on the side. In addition, the chips were not good. Either they were stale or just gross. The fries we ordered were the beer battered and were good. My son had the spaghetti which came with a meatball and garlic bread. He ate the garlic bread, some of the pasta and almost none of the meatball because "it is gross". There was a huge selection of burgers. And I mean huge. It took us a few minutes just to look over the menu. The service was slow. Our glasses were empty a few times for some time before the server returned to fill them. The food took some time to be delivered and it was a while between receiving our drinks and someone taking our order. But I did not mind since I was visiting someone I had not seem in 8 years. But this may be problematic for someone who just wants to eat. The meal for 3 adults and 2 children with 2 adults sodas and 2 kid sodas was $43. Not bad price. read more

The bar/restaurant is kind of a dive atmosphere. I always thought of this place as a bar, but it's full of insanely loud children and crying babies. The menu is massive, which leads me to believe they serve a lot of it is frozen prepackaged food. The food has never been very good one single time. I always leave Wondering why I went back. Service is known for being questionable here, it's difficult to get anything. Decent beer selection, some of them extremely overpriced for what they are. Paid 7.75 for a pale ale 16oz. I wouldn't complain about the extremely high prices if the beer was actually fresh, but it rarely if ever is. If you get a hoppy beer ask to sample it first before you waste your money. This place is packed, the locals like it, but I think it's because there is nothing else. Not sure why it's so well televised on food network and such..they make it sound so wonderful, but it's far from it. read more

Awesome bacon cheeseburger with special Parmesan wings! Awesome service and friendly people... I'm so glad I found this place

OK it's a tourist attraction with locals also. Gabby our Waitress was very attentive. Great list of burgers. Extensive menu overall. Had an appetizer of fried mini tacos (10) nothing to write home about on that. $5.99. Had a cup of red pepper grab bisque with two slices of toasted baguette. $3.49 . Was very nice actually wish I got the bowl instead as it is larger. Burgers came with homemade chips n pickle slice. Various prices not bad there for the burgers but my son opted for onion rings which we're $4.99 yes $4.99. And didn't get the chips which should've came also. I thought the onion rings were good but I'm sorry no onion rings are worth 5 dollars. With tea for my son and water for me. He also had a slice of chocolate cake. bill was 44.57 that included a 4 dollar tip. I definetly would eat here again as I really enjoyed the soup and the Burger. Chips we're not bad either. Only grip was cost of onion rings. I believe my Burger was a boogey something or other. Had Italian sausage patties on top of Burger with pepper Jack cheese I believe an mushroom and green pepper. And a relish I think. Would defiantly have again read more
