So glad I found here. Decently priced and good food and service. The Newyork with white bread was fantastic. Also really really good waffle, I ordered to do but I'm sure it would have been even better there. read more

Had the western breakfast burrito and it was on a busy Sunday morning. They quoted me 15 mins and were spot on with their delivery. Everyone was very nice and the restaurant was warm and welcoming. read more

Lovely little dinner, when it gets busy there will be a wait. You order at the cashier and take a table. They bring food to the table. Nice 80's music, the food was excellent, we loved the chicken strips in the honey mustard sauce. Get place to eat. read more

If you want high quality service, fast, cheap, and delicious food this is the place to go! I got the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was so good, the chicken was cooked fresh and it had a crunch that made it so enjoyable to eat. The Greek salad is simple but taste fresh. My friend got the steak sub and it taste better than most restaurants, meat had lots of flavor. The owner of the restaurant is a friendly nice man. Restaurant is very clean and food comes out fast. read more

Rating: ***** An experience I'd always remember **** I am coming back *** I'd be willing to come back ** Wouldn't recommend anyone * Disastrous experience/restaurant **** My new staple brunch spot in Burke Review: Smith and Clarksons is a staple brunch spot in Burke, known for their sandwiches and chicken tenders along with house Korean-style fried chicken sandwiches. Hungry one afternoon with some time for lunch, I sought out looking for cheap eats in Burke. Strolling around in Burke town center, I walked into Smith's as I saw a decent amount of people eating and was curious as I don't regularly go to brunch spots. Thinking I had to try the chicken they were known for, I settled on a chicken tender wrap. Taking my first bites, I was greeted with a lightly breaded chicken with a balanced amount of sauce, just enough to taste it but not enough to take attention from the well-seasoned chicken in the wrap. Typically my favorite part of fried chicken is the texture but surprisingly I'm still very happy with this as the breading seemed intentional and overall it was well executed. On my next visit, I was running low on time but still wanted to try more of the menu so I put in an early pickup order of the turkey club sandwich. As I hadn't seen the pictures, the portion was a big surprise as I opened the box. Nicely cut sandwiches sat with a good quarter of turkey along with thin slices of tomatoes, textured bacon, and lettuce. Compliments to the person who makes the sandwiches at Smith and Clarkson although the sandwich is pretty big, the way they cleanly put it together and portioned it meant you never had parts of it falling out as you ate. Simply put, a basic but very well-made sandwich. Smith and Clarksons is a staple stop in Burke and has just become mine too, with their well-made food at reasonable prices (Chicken Wrap 9.89 & Turkey Club 11.99). I excitedly am waiting to return to try the Korean fried chicken next. read more

Entered and only one table occupied , place order with less than friendly cashier , waited 20 minutes for order only for it to be wrong and have the allergen on it that I requested not be on it. Paid extra for bacon and got chopped bacon pieces for 2.79. Counter person grunted , no apology , poor attitude. Didn't have another 20 minutes to wait for a refire. Similar pole service attitude prior visits , will not return nor recommend . read more

Good breakfast lunch spot. Located in a strip mall but pretty busy on a Sunday morning ordered a Dagwood and 2 egg, bacon, French toast breakfast. I look forward to going back. read more

I love how inexpensive and filling their Bernard breakfast sandwich is! I also love their cornbeef hash and eggs. I think this place is a great mom and pop breakfast shop in the area. The service is always amazing! It can get really busy on the weekends, so I always make sure to call ahead when I order my food to go. I love recommending this place to all my friends and family! Super cute mom and pop shop! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Another early morning ride-sharing with the Hubby. And what do I do when I get to work early? I want to eat. Arrived right as they were opening at 7:30. The Owner, Alan, greeted me warmly and I ordered a number 3 which consisted of bacon, scrambled eggs, home fries and wheat toast(Yep. I am allowing carbs today as I plan to share with my coworker). The food came out quickly and was well-seasoned. I will definitely partake of this establishment again as they are close to my job. read more

I have both dined in and carried out, for lunch and breakfast respectfully, and have been happy with the overall experiences. Breakfast has a variety of options and even a regular old breakfast sandwich (Egg over hard, ham (bacon or sausage available), and cheese on a toasted & buttered English muffin) really hit the spot! The lunch menu has a wide variety of both hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, salads, and a few specialty Asian dishes. Typically there is a sandwich special and a plate special-both always sound delicious! Portions are large and prices are very reasonable. The only thing that is important to note is your food may take awhile because it seems they have consistent staffing issues. Since this is a busy plaza plus it shares a parking lot with Walmart, expect to park further away from the building. I can't wait to return to try the Chicken & Waffles! read more

I had a work meeting and the food (breakfast burrito) and bottled OJ were good. I would come back and try something else. But it was a good place to conduct a working meeting. read more

Been going here since it was at its old location. Love the tuna melt. Try the club sandwich as well. Breakfast is really good here as well. Nice people here and usually pretty quick in and out. read more

Pretty good! I tried the special Korean sandwich, it was nice and crispy. I would have liked it a little spicier. Staff was friendly. Atmosphere basic but clean. I'd give it a go for another quick sandwich. read more

It's not a bad place for breakfast or brunch. Once you get in you order then find a seat. Food is brought out to you. Everything tasted good, nothing stands out but I liked the waffle. They top off your coffee just need to ask, read more

Breckfast was serviceable. Tea cup was paper and not that much Tea for a meal. If I was in the area and I needed to eat, I would come here again read more

This is the quintessential Mom & Pop diner. It's a couple and probably their son and another worker that make up the whole staff. The food is absolutely fantastic . The main drawback is that when the diner gets busy, the wait for your food gets a little long. The only upside to that is the food is worth the wait. I haven't had anything bad there at all. I highly recommend this diner, but if you can avoid the busy times (like weekend lunch, etc.) you'll get the fantastic food quicker. The ambiance is that of an older diner, but not in any way horrible. read more

First time in the cafe today. I order the 4 piece chicken tenders. Let me tell you the size of each of the chicken tenders was great. Each chicken tender was not too crispy on the edges. Instead, each chicken tender was lightly breaded and full/generous piece of chicken underneath. These chicken tenders actually top ranked. I was pleasantly surprised at my experience with the cafe. J would go back and am already planning another chicken tender order next week. read more

Ordered 15 pancakes from here for a party and the entire bottom row was stuck to paper they added at the bottom. Basically useless bottom row. We came back to show the owner and explain that in the future they should avoid using the paper because it ruined the pancakes. The response we got was "ok"!!!!!! No apologies no offer of credit! Maybe in the future when you have a customer voicing concerns you should care about their satisfaction. Basic principle in business but I guess the owner has no business sense! I don't recommend this business after being a long time client for over 15 years! It seems new owners are not concerned about customer coming back! read more

Mom and dad merged with the kids to create this quick stop of a cafe. I wouldn't call it a deli, as the outside signage states. It's simple, it's fast, it's tasty! There is a blown up sign by the door as you walk in, direct to the counter. You order your food and pay at the counter, then someone hands you a numbered signage for your table. I had enough time to prepare my coffee and have a chat before my food arrived. That was the easy part. Choosing what to eat... it takes skill. The pancakes, waffles, and French toast have a lovely buttery, melt in your mouth quality, with a hint of cinnamon. The butter on top is whipped and begs for you to spread it around. No cheap cheesy cheese, no American, but stringy, gooey cheese in these omelettes. Drinks are standard, the staff is fresh, this is a nice spot for breakfast and lunch. I have more to try! read more

I came in here yesterday around 4:00 for an early dinner. I got the S&C burger, some chicken soup, some sea salt chips, and a Barq's root beer. The total was a little less than $20.00. The burger had Angus beef, bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a brioche bun. All of the ingredients were fresh. The burger was medium well done as I recall. I had my meal in 10 or 15 minutes. The staff was very friendly. This is an excellent neighborhood deli. No complaints. read more

Got eat in sandwiches last week. Good pastrami sandwich and also grilled chicken sandwich. Good prices quick service. Lots of regular coming in for orders to go. I look forward to trying other menu items read more

Their grilled cheese sandwich is angel touched from heaven, I can't Stop ordering. But boyfriend tried everything is delicious from this place. Thank you so much for feeding us read more

Ordered a chicken tender wrap which was great but I asked for extra sauce which made it saucy! Also loved their onion rings which are extra crispy. I ordered chicken tenders for later and they are giant!! More like two fried chicken breasts but they were tender and cooked really well. I would get food here again for sure! read more

I've been here a few times and loved it each time. The sandwiches are huge and I struggle to finish even half of one. So far, we have loved the burger, chicken frisco, and the turkey club. The fries were crunchy and salty (in a good way). The matzo ball Soup was flavorful and perfect on a cold day. My favorite, though, might have to be the thick cut potato chips- you can tell they're made right in the back. Soooooo good! The service was great- the employee even brought my take out food out to me at the table where I waited. A good sandwich can be hard to find, but I have a feeling this will be a go-to place for me! read more

Woke up, watched some Anthony Bourdain and started craving a good sandwich. Friend suggested this place and told me they have a Korean Fried Chicken sandwich, serving up two large fried chicken breasts smothered with gochujang sauce. Sounds epic right? I thought so, too so I said why the hell not, let's gooo! I walk in and there's a few people in line waiting to order. I look around and what do I see? I see sandwiches and I'm happy. So I order the Pastrami Melt. My buddy isn't disappointed but feels like I'm missing out on the Smith & Clarksons experience so he orders the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Egg Bacon Sandwich and we split all three. Best decision of my Saturday was trusting my friend when he said you gotta try the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich. So, what are you going to order when you get to Smith and Clarksons? read more

Got the cowboy Burger with cheddar cheese. It was awesome. The best part was the fresh bun and quality of the beef and onions. Better value and taste than five guys down the road. The roast beef was also great. We will be back. read more

Great at lunch for sandwiches. Lots of take outs but also plenty of tables to sit and eat. I had a Dagwood which was more moist than the photo shows on their website. I enjoyed each ingredient. I'd readily go back. read more

My local neighborhood Facebook group had a few great reviews of this place. We decided to visit for a quick lunch. Parking lot is shared with the entire Walmart shopping population. Menu consisted of sandwiches, some Asian dishes and other items. We ordered sandwiches and fries for our quick meal. They were average not overly memorable. The sides(fries) were a very small portion. I'm not sure whether they were recently acquired by someone else or not. Service was spotty. It's a simple order at the counter and food is brought to you by either the cashier or someone at the counter. read more

I've lived locally for over a decade and only recently have I started coming here. Their food is so amazing and I love their sandwiches. You're very much getting your money's worth. They also rip little vents into the bag of fries to keep them crispy when you're ordering to-go and I really appreciate that! I've come here so many times since I first tried their sandwiches. Overall lovely place and lovely staff/owner. read more

Ordered online and order was ready around 20 minutes. The breakfast was good and I imagine even better eating in. We had chicken and waffles. Taste was good, waffle little soft by the time we got home. I had chorizo burrito and it was very good. The breakfast potatoes were a little over hyped for me. Good local breakfast option. read more

Had a great lunch here, ordered the special, Spicy Korean chicken sandwich and fries. It was made to order, so it took some time. The chicken was super crispy and crunchy. It had a nice sauce that tasted like it had some gochujang in it but it was not overly spicy. The meat was juicy and the portion was so large it was hanging outside of the kaiser bun. It was a lot! It was actually 2 large pieces of chicken! The pickled radish in the sandwich was tasty too. I recently ate the spicy chicken sandwich at Hangry Joe's and I think I preferred this one bc my lips weren't on fire from eating it! And it was only $8.99, great deal. Husband had a Dagwood sandwich that he devoured, so safe to say he liked his food too. Also, I forgot my bag there (I don't know what I was thinking) and they had it waiting for me at the counter when I came back in a panic. So they are very honest and kind too! Definitely recommend this place! read more
