    Buffalo Chicken Empanadas
    Jesika K.

    The ambiance threw us off a little when we first entered, they share the sweet shop and they have the option to purchase decor and other related items. The food is fresh and the empanadas we got were really great. I opted for a pork sandwich, the bread was really fresh and the pork was flavorful. For a stop on the way home it was far superior to the norm. The wait staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The only confusing aspect was it does look like they serve beer and wine but there wasn't a menu for it so we didn't know that was an option. Overall it's worth a visit.

    If you are traveling on I95, take a detour to eat at Porter Jacks! The staff and the food are amazing! We ordered the Jack's basket appetizer - thin fried onion "tangles", fried pickles, and fried mushrooms with 2 sauces (one word - WOW!). It was a huge portion that could have fed 6 people! I had the flounder sandwich with hand cut French fries and my husband got the shrimp and grits. This place was worth the detour

I had the catfish dinner with collard greens and loaded baked potatoe. The two large filets were perfectly cooked and the collards were very good too. Not cooked all day, but very tender. Even the stems were tender. The only detractor was that they are currently in a temporary location, so not on the water. But the food and service offset that temporary issue. My wife had Grilled Grouper. She enjoyed her meal too. The Fried Green Tomato Appetizer was probably the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, large meaty texture slices. They were mouth watering. It is always great when a restaurant is proud of their health score and will post it in a highly visible spot. Their "A" rating is right there on the door when you enter the establishment. Keep up the great food & service "The Lakehouse". I would love to return once you are back on the lake. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    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.

I've been here multiple times and did not like it. This trip was no different. We had a large group of 16 and it started there. Was told a 2hr wait. If we split in to groups of 8 we'd be seated in 45. Took this option. Actually got seated in about 25 minutes seperately. (A table of 8 that was right next to us was vacant and NEVER got used for the entire 90 minutes or so that we stayed at the restaurant so why not accommodate our group? - strike one) Our waitress I'm told was very chippy with an attitude toward some party members. (I didnt get any attitude toward me) but heard a few people stating how she was answering people's requests and how unpleasant she was. - Strike two. The food. I ordered the meatloaf nachos (which were good). I also ordered the fried pork chops w/ side salad. Loading up on fake bacon bits (like 1000 pieces) doesnt make the salad better. This is a hint to their kitchen. The pork chops were dry and the "red skinned" mash potatoes" (which I do not remember the menu stating that they were red skinned potatoes which would mean SKIN would be present in the mash. Otherwise I would not have ordered this. ALSO, their baked beans.......this was the worst part of the meal. I am expecting some version of beans with a bbq base or similar...instead I got some sort of bean SOUP which was totally inedible in my opinion. Whole meal was trash. Strike three. My 83 year old father said at the end of the meal "worst meal I've ever had". Which I had him repeat to the table just in case anyone thought it was just me. $700 with tip for the quality is a bit much. I will never ever return no matter what my siblings say.

The staff were all very polite and friendly. We were seated quickly with drink orders taken. It took a few minutes to get the drinks, but thats OK. A larger table was seated before us so its all good. We placed our food order of the Loaded Fries for an appetizer, 2 Killer Club sandwichs(pesto on the side)with fries, Secret Philly with onion rings and the Blackened Fish Tacos with the chips salsa and queso. The Loaded Fries were delicious! Plenty of bacon and queso on them. The Philly was delicious, onion rings hot and crispy. The kids loved their Club sandwiches. They were HUGE and the kids could have easily split one. The Blackened Fish Tacos were the only negative on our trip. They were pale colored, hardly warm, and the slaw was soggy. Honestly they were aweful! My husband tried a bite and said it tasted like it was from yesterdays trash. I have seen tons of good reviews on them so I'm not sure if they have been changed or I got them on a bad day or what. I hate sending food back, so I just ate them. I tried throwing pesto from the clubs, salsa or queso on bites trying to make them better, but nothing really helped. Overall we will definitely be back again, just not ordering the tacos!
