    Went here for v/day. Limited menu, but that's fine considering busy. Good service. Local ambiance. Like the burgers, salad, steamers desserts, and the lobster here. Dependable restaurant.

    Lodge Salad
    Art T.

    I'm kind of torn between 3 and 4 stars. It's really a 3.5, but Yelp... well, anyway... Here's the thing. The food is only OK at best. It's fine, it's not amazing, but it's not bad by any stretch. I had the grilled chicken salad, but the chicken was cubed and, possibly because of this option, it was very dry. It was under-seasoned as well. The rest of the salad was nice and fresh, though, and no one else seemed to have any complaints. I liked that, instead of bread, they had house-made kettle chips for enjoying. We were here with a party of 9 for a birthday. They did a great job as a team of ensuring we got our food, drink refills, and anything else we needed. Service gets a five-star rating for sure! The décor was pretty awesome, if I'm being honest! I loved the carved wooden animals outside, and the lodge theming inside. They had some animal motifs here as well, like antler chandeliers and a giant bear statue. There is a line of booths along the window wall that looked like ski lift chairs! Very neat touch! So, I want to stress, the theming here is well worth the visit! And who knows, maybe my meal just wasn't up to par that day. It wasn't so bad I had to send it back, it was just... very underwhelming. Supposedly the ribs here are incredible, and the handhelds seemed to be a good choice for those who ordered them. I'd definitely try this place again. I'll just be sure to select a different entrée.

    The Clarks Lodge is very similar to one of our favorite spots for happy hour in Kentlands, but a lot closer to us. So we have stopped by a few times to sit at the bar and enjoy the happy hour menu. They have pretty good options for food and drinks. The crushes are good, but after one I'm ready to stick to something simple. We also tend to order some finger foods, like Brussels sprouts and the egg rolls, which are pretty good. Last time we ordered wings and I wasn't really a fan. The bartenders are really nice. One in particular was hilarious, but I cant remember his name unfortunately. Next I go back, ill be sure to ask again and give him props for his amazing and attentive service. We also enjoy the live bands that play here, which varies each week. I also really like the decor and set up. Lots of outdoorsy type decor, and some of the seats in the dining area look like ski lifts. Pretty cool. Overall, good local spot to check out, especially if you're looking for a close by happy hour option.

    Butter chicken and rice
    Ellie D.

    Decorated like a posh mountain lodge, it would be easy to write this place off as kitsch. But I loved it! We sat in one of the windows and I had a little daydream of making the bench a limited-range swing, though I'm sure that would be dangerous once food is involved. What we got: Butter chicken with rice - 3* one of the reviews I read said the Indian food here was good so I had to give it a try. You never know when a restaurant could have a secret specialty. Unfortunately that review was a bust. The Indian food was mediocre. I didn't dislike it but I wouldn't order Indian food here in the future and feel rather silly for trusting that thought despite being game to try these kinds of leads. The lunch special said each dish comes with fries and choice of house or Caesar salad. The fries were never delivered with my order but after tasting my partners I didn't think I was missing out on much. It was a discrepancy that I noticed and thought was worth sharing. Hickory Burger - 4* it wasn't medium rare like asked but it had good flavor. Despite looking small it is surprisingly filling and my partner ended up packing up half to eat later. The fries were average, nothing special.

    Happy hour Brussel Sprouts
    Kelly L.

    Visited for the first time for happy hour and it was wonderful! Even though Carlos was busy he took great care of us! Great vibe in the bar area. Made some new friends. Walked around the restaurant and everyone seemed happy. Cool ski lift chairs for some of the tables. Lodge feel for the whole place. Happy hour deals are great! 3-6:30 Mon-Fri. Food and drink specials. The Malbec is delicious. And the Brussels sprouts too!

    Tuesday 11/19/2024 This spot was initially brought a to my attention few months ago by a friend at the gym. I spent $67.84 for a pick up order and got a few recommendations from my friend and a few popular items. I got the Clark's family platter $22, brussel sprouts $10, hickory burger (medium) $16, and the butter chicken flatbread $16. While picking up the food I experienced pretty good customer service and the ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. Also you get a nice bag for takeout. - Clark's family platter comes with 4x wings (I got bbq), 4x egg rolls, 4x quesadillas, and 4x shrimp which is pretty good value and it was my favorite. Everything was pretty good and I'd give it an 8.4/10 as a whole. - Brussels sprouts (6.5/10) were one of my friends top recommendations but they're were just alright and for $10 I definitely wouldn't get them again. - The hickory burger (7.3/10) was solid but tasted a lot better with their bbq sauce. Also the Fries were aright but could've been better with seasoning. - The butter chicken flatbread bread (7.7/10) comes with 6 mini slices and it was decent. It's not the best butter chicken I've had but it's decent and I enjoyed the concept. Overall, Clark's lodge really impressed me. My top recommendation would be the Clark's sampler platter as you get a bit of everything for a fair price.

    Our server was amazing although I did not see his name tag. He provided great appetizer options and drinks.. It was prom night atmosphere was cozy.

    Time for yet another mostly positive review again, may get around to a negative review next depending on my timing now. I was here with my girlfriend & our 4 friends (2 couples) for a TRIPLE date! We were at the Owl Moon Fest out at Black Hills Regional Park on Saturday, 11/9. One of the friends lives in Clarksburg, so she knows this place well and likes it when her & her boyfriend (now fiancée) have gone. When my girlfriend & I walked in, we were greeted with a Lodge feel, which I thought was cool with moosehead, wood paneling, etc. We were a bit ahead of the friends. I went to use the restroom, which was nicely decorated & clean. Once I came out, the 6 of us were being seated. The menu had a wide variety. I ended up with butter chicken. My gut said the Indian would be good here, which I was right. It was on par with a solid Indian restaurant. Initially, I was going to get the fish & chips, but my girlfriend got, so I decided to go for the variety. Although the fish & chips were good from what I tried, mine was better. I felt the fish was a bit salty. She acknowledged she liked my dish a little better too. The one negative was the server wasn't friendly, he got closer to 15% instead of 20% or possibly more percent. It largely didn't detract from the experience here, and I would possibly come back here if I was in Clarksburg. Maybe, I'd get a burger or sandwich next time. He answered people's questions, but seemed annoyed particularly with my one friend. Overall, it was pretty solid in spite of a couple of negatives.

    I went here with a couple friends at around 3 and the place was empty, not a single person there but us. But the service wasn't that great. With us being the only table I thought she would be more attentive to us but she wasn't. She came to take our order, bring out the food, and collect the payment. Didn't come to refill our complimentary chips or ask how the food was or anything. The food was alright. It was priced fairly but it was bland. Good thing they had salt and pepper on the table. The inside was nice, they had a lot of fake animals around the restaurant and had some window seating areas which was pretty cool. My experience was just alright and I probably won't be going back because there really wasn't anything amazing about the place.

    Wings-Lemon Pepper (happy hour)
    Angel P.

    We came for happy hour (M-F 4-6:30pm) on a weekday. Our bartender Sam was super friendly, and attentive. We got the lodge margarita, and wings (lemon pepper). The drinks were good. The wings were decent size, however there was not much lemon pepper flavor. I wouldn't have guessed it was lemon pepper flavored wings. It would be nice if the happy hour also applied to the outdoor patio, as it could get busy on the patio, especially during the summer days. There are several TVs so could be a good place to watch a sports game at the bar.

    crown royal and coke
    Grace H.

    Have had their appetizers a handful of times but we typically come in the later evening when the kitchen is nearing its close. Regardless of this the staff are always so friendly. The bartenders are good at communicating and welcome us with a smile every time. We love the drinks here; always top-notch. If you come at certain times they'll often have live music which can really change the vibe depending on the day. I personally enjoy it a lot, there's not a lot of other places in the area that can compare. One day we'll try their entrees and I bet they'll be equally as delightful.

    The buffet stuff

    I came to try the buffet and it was horrible nothing but bread and eggs for almost 27$ I'm sorry won't be coming again

This used to be one of my regular go-to spots, especially when I was craving a fresh veggie burrito, and this visit reminded me exactly why I loved it. I ordered my usual veggie burrito with extra cilantro, guacamole, white onions, and a little corn, and it was absolutely delicious. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and packed with quality ingredients. One thing I've always appreciated about this restaurant is the consistency. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are generous, and you can tell everything is prepared with care. The customer service was just as memorable as the food. The staff was kind, courteous, and welcoming, making me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in. It's always nice when you return to a favorite restaurant after some time away and discover that the quality hasn't changed. This visit definitely reminded me why La Gula Mexicana became one of my favorite local spots, and I'll be adding it back into my regular rotation. Highlights: * Fresh, flavorful veggie burrito * High-quality, fresh ingredients * Delicious additions of cilantro, guacamole, white onions, and corn * Friendly and courteous staff * Consistently great food and service * One of my favorite local Mexican restaurants

I enjoyed the nachos with the three different dips, but specifically enjoyed the thick cheese and guacamole. The birria tacos were extremely delicious with the consome being meaty, which was wonderful. Only downside to the visit was that it took about 20-30 minutes for the food to come out. Even when it came out, the food was kinda warm, which makes me think it may have sat for some time. I'm willing to go again, but hopefully get the food when it's hot and a little faster.

It's so funny because David and I frequent the Akira ramen next door and not once had we ever noticed that this Greek restaurant was right next to it! I was immediately impressed by the perfect amount of variety on the menu, and the dishes sounded really authentic. Our server also told us there were a number of specials happening that day, so there's sure to be something for everyone. We ended up ordering 3 entrees for 4 people to share and we were able to swap a few of the side dishes that the entrees came with. Gioulbasi (half roasted chicken): The chicken was tasty, although I didn't eat a few parts closest to the bone because they were a bit bloody and I couldn't tell if it was cooked through. The lemon potatoes that came with this were BOMB! Super lemony, and had a slight crisp outer texture. I could eat a plate full of those potatoes. Branzino: Unfortunately the Chilean Sea Bass we wanted was out, so our waiter recommended the Branzino instead. It was good, but not mindblowing. Its a pretty lean fish, but the meat slid right off the bone and it was pretty easy to eat. Yiouvetsi (lamb shank): Super tender, came right off the bone and paired nicely with the tomatoey orzo pasta underneath. A HUGE portion, we had some leftover to go. Overall, we loved the chill ambiance and authenticity of the dishes and selection on the menu. My parents love Greek/Meditteranean food, so would definitely visit again! Shoutout to our server Riley who was great too, I had to call him over to explain the specials to me twice, give that man a raise!
