Service was terrible. Food came to us cold, the Wisconsin Mac and cheese burger I ordered was inedible. Spinach and artichoke dip had about an .5 inch of oil on top. read more

Food oversalted. Cheese put on everything(salty). Steaks a little overdogh. Heat I f soup (cauliflower) over cheesed.

My friends and I did take out orders so I can't speak on how the service is. I can speak on how the food tasted I got fettuccine alfredo a side of mac and cheese and a side of mashed potatoes. The lady on the phone did ask if I wanted gravy on the mashed potatoes and I said no well they came with gravy so I gave them to my friend and she said they were very salt. Alfredo smelled like feet and looked like it just came from a jar. The mac and cheese tasted like nothing like there's no flavor at all. Definitely disappointed. read more

Located in the shopping plaza in Clarion. The restaurant was bigger than I thought - walking in. We asked to sit at the bar inside. The service was great and very friendly. The jukebox was my highlight in the bar area.. so fun. I had the stuffed meatloaf (with mac and cheese) and it was absolutely amazing!!! Prices are average. I look forward to stopping again when we are back in the area. read more

Really good food and the prices are so reasonable. Great cocktails too. I got the prime rib and it was amazing. Added a shrimp cocktail to my meal for only 2 dollars!!! Such a nice place. read more

I liked this place. My husband made a huge scene over a stupid burger I wanted to stuff my face in my sweater. We had Clarissa, nice as can be. Killer soup of the day was chicken dumplings. So good i got 3 to go My kid got a corn dog I got Cuban sandwich sliders Yum And husband got a build your burger. He whined and complained like a child because he didn't get lettuce and tomato Threw an embarrassing tantrum #Dead Clarissa is like "I'll go grab it for you" My husband's like No NO No!!! I'm looking at this maniac like he's Kris Jenner having a crying spell over another Kardashian wedding or divorce. Really Felicia? He's rejecting the lettuce and tomato. And she's like ok. But then goes on and on about the $8 burger. I'm ready to run into traffic. Then the bill comes. Holy hell. They charged him $12 for the angus burger. He gives poor Clarissa hell over that too. I'm ready to slap him across the face like a Spanish soap opera. I'm so done. Manager comes over. Takes it off the bill. My 11 yr old boy is like "Dads a psycho" As my husband uses the bathroom Clarissa comes over- I'm telling her it's a road trip from Chicago to NYC and she's like "the travelling is getting to him; i get it" I wanted to leave him there! The food and service was good. If you are going to eat here, don't bring Adrian with you. Trust me. He needs an ambien and a bottle o read more

This is our stop on our road trip on Interstate 80 from Boston to Peoria ever year. We are traveling with a dog, so Quality Inn up the hill is a convenient place to stay. We ordered ribs and grilled chicken. Both were very good. We selected side salads and vegetables to go with our meals. It's a nice side salad complete with hard boiled egg. The blue cheese dressing is delicious! A solid meal with friendly service. Their homemade rolls have typically been included in our take out meals. Unfortunately, they did not make it into our takeout order this time. We will look for them next time! read more

I had the loaded chicken for my meal. It was overdone and dry. Tasty but tough. Service was quick. Potato soup is yummy.

The food is consistently good. And the kids who are the servers are always so friendly and helpful. I stay at the quality Inn sometimes and it's a very easy walk. Then after dinner walk across the parking lot and get a custard. It's a slam dunk! read more

The food is so juicy and tasty. The time to wait for food was only about 20-30 minutes. It's so big in there and you're not squished together! It's not small at all. read more

Trekked across the street for a very late dinner since our hotel restaurant was closed. The salmon was delicious, as were the sweet potato fries. Decent beer selection and nice staff. read more

Was hoping change of ownership made better food but nope. Fried pickles were good but crabcakes were half done, Mac and cheese just OK. Partners streak was good and French fries good. Won't be back read more

Great place , good food, friendly service. We sat at the bar and had Sherry as our server . She was AMAZING !!! We were just passing through but would definitely stop here again if in the area . read more

This steakhouse was very good with great service. We had the mac and cheese stuffed meatloaf and crab stuffed mushrooms for the starter. Both was very good and would recommend them to anyone! read more

Yes, they're shorthanded and not sitting the entire restaurant. Just one of those things that you have to deal with when you go out to eat. Dining by myself and had a reasonable wait. Once I was seated at my table, everything went smoothly. The waitress was attentive. The food came out in a timely manner. Had a side Caesar salad and one of their burgers. Both were very good and their prices were very reasonable. If I happen to be in the area again, I would not hesitate to make a return visit. read more

My six year old said, "it wasn't TOO good, but it was TOO bad." He didn't touch any of his food. My nine year old liked the potato soup but wished it was served with oyster crackers. The food was all bland and over cooked. There were fries on my beef tip salad. What the??? Not sure if they were accidentally dropped on the plate or if that was intentional. The lettuce and cucumbers had seen better days. Three or four at least. My husband had to spit a giant ball of gristle from his flavorless, paper thin prime rib sandwich into his napkin. Thirty minutes later he's still burping up the smoked flavor. He doesn't remember seeing anything about the meat being smoked on the menu. No kisses for him tonight!!! The waitress was pretty nice, but I do wish she would have informed us that there were jalapeños on the chili my son ordered. We only ordered that for him because she warned us that the soup of the day, minestrone, "didn't look too good." We only stopped here on our road trip from CT to CO because we couldn't handle any more fast food. Now I regret that we didn't go to Arby's. The rolls and cinnamon butter had potential, but they were cold and saturated in some kind of oil. I honestly don't know how places like this survive. Keep driving. read more

We first dined at the Roadhouse in 2010 and through the years it has gotten better and better! I credit the new owner (Bo L) with very positive progress with building outstanding staff, good food and comfortable welcoming decor. We were impressed by Sadie at the bar, Zach at the table, and Mrs. Bo who stopped by to say hello. Oh, but we mainly came here for the food, which did not disappoint: baby back ribs, fried cod, fried onion petals, mac & cheese with bacon, and our usual wine-and-draft bevs. We did our best but no way we could finish the generous portions. However, they will make a good leftover meal or two when we reach home in Michigan. read more

Chicken Alfredo is jar sauce and bland. Rolls stale. Husband liked his steak though. Salads good but served in a hot bowl and about 2 minutes before the entrees came out. I'm in a wheelchair and the accessible toilet is a joke. Door lock on backwards and very hard to close door. Wheelchair barely fit and once it is in, it's right up against the toilet. Very hard to maneuver. read more

We pulled off I80 on a trip from Cedar Point Oh to Home and stopped for dinner. It was very good. The steaks were cooked right and the Mac and cheese was delicious! read more

Had to send a steak back twice because we ordered mid rare and it came back blue rare, after the third time it was simply burnt. Just accepted it and decided we aren't coming back. Otherwise the service is alright. read more

Smelled like petroleum and was hot as hell, but excellent service and even better food! Highly recommend!

Should you ever find yourself in Clarion overnight, I hope you find yourself at dinner at Red River Roadhouse. The staff here is always so nice and friendly. I always sit at the bar, because I'm by myself and like to catch the hockey or baseball game while I'm sipping my (enormous pour of) wine. Their bartenders are always so cheerful, and Kerry and I bonded over our love for dogs at my most recent trip. I tend to always order salads, but no matter which kind I get, they are full of fresh lettuce and veggies, and a healthy serving of dressing. And the crispy seasoned French fries are to die for. (What kind of Yinzer would I be if I didn't have fries on my salad??) But. The two BEST snacks at the Roadhouse are the homemade rolls, drizzled with honey butter and served with MORE whipped butter (you can never offer too much butter to this Ukrainian girl). And as of my latest visit, they are now making incredible pretzels and serving them at the bar. Like, if there's a vending machine in sight, I will never, ever choose the pretzels, but I would choose THESE pretzels every time. They are regular mini pretzels, but they have been tossed in seasonings and baked and they are SO GOOD and even though I knew I was full, I couldn't stop snacking on them. Yum. I actually got a little container of them to take home because I was like, 'my husband will be jealous for days if I don't bring him some of these.' Anyway. If you're in Clarion, this is a great place to pop in for dinner. It's conveniently located to most of the hotels in the area, and just off the highway. I've always loved this place, but I went back for my first visit after their management change, and it's gotten even better. Prices remain wonderful. Just over $20 for a full meal and two drinks! read more

OMG I LOVE This place!! We went out on Friday night for a girls' night at a nice steakhouse. Our waitress Kim, gave us great service, as we returned to this place, once again. (Must say I have never had a bad waiter or waitress here!)The wait time was very short. I had the dinner special that was the black & blue sirloin steak. It was cooked at my request to well-done perfection. The baked potato was also cooked perfectly. The dinner rolls were scrumptious. I only spent $11 for this magnificent dinner. So very economical & yet good food for a very reasonable price. I shall return again many times with friends! Every time I come here my experience is wonderful. read more

Came in to the roadhouse at 6pm, there was no wait and plenty of seating. Ordered pizza logs for a starter and received them cold in the middle. Ordered our meal and after 45 minutes of waiting we are told "the kitchen is a little backed up, our food should be right out". Meanwhile a party of 10 that was seated 10 minutes after us, gets all of there food. After an hour and five minutes, my wife and I couldn't wait any longer. We asked for the check for what we received thus far. Waited another 5 minutes to receive the check and we left. It's always been slow here but this has been by far the worst experience. We will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Food is ok...its not the greatest steak house. Our food was cold. Bar is better just bar food. Atmosphere is good. Children ok here. Waitress was polite. Have good rolls. read more

This was a pleasant surprise on our trip to Punxsutawney for Groundhog's Day. The wait for a table was a little long for a restaurant that wasn't full but once we were seated everything was good. Steaks were cooked perfectly. French onion soup was on point. The kids were not trolled with the overly breaded popcorn chicken but the mac and cheese was a hit. Not sure if I'll ever be back in the area but if I am I'd definitely go back. read more

I'm going to keep this brief! Subway would have been a better choice. Service was quirky, food and pricing even worse. I don't mind spending a lot of it is memorable quality or at least edible. I can use a microwave too, didn't need to go here!! A crab cake is $10 add a salad for $2, fettuccine is $10 add meat and it's $6 more??!!! My kid goes to Clarion University and when I visit, I will never be taking a crowd out to eat here! -Management: I do not need a reply as you have on many other posts! I did not mention how bad the food was to my server because I do not think this establishment is capable of fixing it in the slightest. In fact, if you want better food, you might as well have me teach your staff. I have been cooking for 35 years for my family and people beg to come for dinner at my humble home. read more

Back in the day this was a great place to eat. They were known for their unlimited warm rolls, salads that came with every meal, and large portions. And the prices weren't bad either. But now. Portions are smaller and more expensive. The salad is an extra. And they are stingy on the rolls. So more money and less food. And it's not that great. Much better places to eat in town. read more

Looked appealing on the outside so I check the menu out online while staying at the quality Inn next-door. Ordered a brisket/ Prime rib sandwich for 12 or 13 bucks . What I received was an over toasted bun with three or four pieces of extremely overdone and in-identified meat, - Beneath the big blob of cheese we're what I believe to be peppers and onions out of a jar and served to me with no au-jus. . I also ordered a spinach artichoke dip to be served with pita bread. We did get the pita bread which apparently had been warmed with the saltiest spice rub they could find on the shelf and a big glob of yellow greasy cheesy Looking un identified goo in a bowl. Best I can say was we didn't get anything more than a glorified TV dinner .and the young waiter whose name was Zach was absolutely remarkable thank you Zach for making what I would consider very unpleasant dining experience just a tad bit more enjoyable. You my friend were great.I originally was going to order a steak but after a few appetizers I decided to pass. read more

The homemade rolls with honey butter, my baked sweet potato with cinnamon butter, and Sara, our server were the only redeeming qualities of our meals at his establishment. The "prime" rib wasn't, not by any stretch of the imagination. I ordered it medium rare, and the first one came out brown with a very thin kind-of pink center. I explained to Sara I had worked in a fine dining kitchen for many years, and that was just NOT how a medium rare prime rib looked. It should be a juicy looking slab of red warm meat cut moments before the customer receives it right from the ribs it was cooked with, There was no taste of thyme, or rim of crispy fat to be found, either. The au jus tasted like jarred beef base with water. She gladly took the offending piece back. and brought another, again brown and awful looking, this time in a BOWL !! She did offer several times to get yet another, however I was tired and hungry and just wanted to eat. I ws so disappointed, there were many excuses offered on yelp for the poor reviews, but the fact is, someone .....the owner, manager, or chef, just does NOT know what they are doing !! Someone, owner, manager or chef, needs to step up the the plate or your poor reviews will continue. As a side note, it's never a good idea to let your staff congregate around the hostess stand laughing and giggling, and yet none of the 4 standing there bothered with a thank you or come again ..... read more

We were traveling from N.E. To KC and spent the night in Clarion. This restaurant was next to our hotel and one of the few places open for dinner late night. We started with a side salad with blue cheese dressing that was delicious and tasted homemade. My hubby had the Diamond steak and really enjoyed it , cooked medium rare as he requested. I had the grilled salad with grilled chicken and ranch dressing that was superb. This was a great fine for us and we will visit again if we're ever in the area. Waitress was super friendly too! read more

Was on the way through and seen the sign so stopped in. It just opened at 11. So we are the first ones there. We waited over and hr and half for chicken. Said computer was down for tics. We were the only ones so how damn hard is it. Never again. read more

First thing, the hostess kept walking around looking at all the empty tables trying to figure out where to sit me...?? Someone else finally came along and figured it out...??? Cheese Burger was Ok, tomatoes were slimy and mushy, the french fries were cold and grease soaked, and chocolate cake was hard as a rock. read more

Now under the new ownership, the food is freaking awesome. The quality of meat has gone way up and the place is much cleaner without peanut shells everywhere. I order ribs every time we go. Most times I have to eat the ribs with a fork because the meat falls right off the bone. read more

The RRR Roadhouse in Clarion has a rather odd smattering of cliental. There are the locals, people traveling on I-80, and college students who have convinced their parents to take them out for dinner. Honestly, locals in this area expect small town service, which is far too personal and creepy for my taste. This place has a bit more of a corporate restaurant chain feel, but I'd rather get my food quickly and enjoy eating with the people I came there with. If you want actual ambiance, drive to a city. The food is fine. This place is comparable price and taste wise to a Red Robin or similar type of burger/steak chain. For the area, the prices are high, but they really are not that terrible. They get their beef locally, and I've never had a bad meal. It's not going to be a memorable meal, but you also won't hate your life afterwards either. I would say play it safe and get a burger here. I think a 1/2 pound Cheeseburger is $9.99. In a small town, I don't mess around with upscale dishes. They just don't usually come out well. However, my father ordered shrimp here twice, and he was really happy with it. And to all of the people complaining about salad out of a bag and frozen burger patties... have you ever worked in a restaurant? It's a RARITY that that isn't the case... even in upscale restaurants. Do your research. read more

Rolled up at the roadhouse on a Saturday night, looking to grab something to bite. I walked to the counter and I started to say, it's all about getting that table for eight. Cause the boys on the farm are always hot. Looking for grub to fill my tum. I called down early, to grab my seat, found out it would be 20 for us to eat. The lady at the counter was a friend of mine. Said she gave away our table to a party of nine. The service here sucked, the place smelled like shit. Wouldn't go here if my life depended on it. read more

I wish I could give them more then 5 Stars. Andrea and her team did a phenomenal job catering my wedding this past weekend. People are still raving about the food. From presentation to taste it was exactly what I had hoped for. The burger bar was perfect and the Mac and cheese and other sides yum!!! To top it off the s'mores bar was incredible and so much fun. Thank you for being part of our day!!!!! read more

My favorite restaurant to eat at all throughout college back at good ol' CUP! Friday and Saturday nights the restaurant gets busy, and you may have a good 30 min-1 hour wait, but the restaurant does give out pages and allow you to walk throughout the mall while waiting. I always ordered the chicken breast with a salad (great salads!) as well as enjoyed the bread they bring out and the peanuts at the tables. There may have been a time I sent back the chicken to be cooked a little more, but I like my chicken nearly charred. Food was always great, and the service was wonderful too. If memory serves me right, the chicken entree was $10 and included 2 sides. Steaks were reasonably priced as well. read more

Let's start with the good. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Brinnalyn is a sweetheart. That's really about it. Now for the rest. If you are looking for anorexic, overpriced steaks this is your place. $25 for a 12 Oz ribeye that was so small they couldn't even get it medium rare. It came out closer to medium to medium well in spots. Didn't see a choice for veggies on the menu so I guess it defaulted to broccoli. I don't eat broccoli so that was a waste of time putting it on the plate. The steak lacked flavor probably because it was so small. Like others, the reason I stopped here was that it was within walking distance from Quality Inn and I had a coupon from the hotel for 10% off. First and last visit.save yourself the money and go to burger king. read more

We have seen this place a few times when traveling and decided to stop in. Wow, the food here is excellent and service matches the food quality. We will be sure to stop here again next time we are driving through. Looking forward to those warm rolls and honey butter again.. Mmm! read more
