Bottom Line Up Front: We recently tested Clarksburg Tavern to see if they could be part of our regular takeout rotation. While we appreciated their efforts, the experience was more complicated than expected, though we may consider giving them another opportunity if they refine their process.
For context, Clarksburg is a small, sleepy town, and on this Thursday at 4:30 PM the restaurant was not busy. I placed my order through Grubhub for pickup. When I arrived, I gave my name and described the order, which matched the slip sitting at the counter. That wasn’t good enough. The staff insisted I show the order on my phone. Fair enough—I went back to my car, grabbed my phone, and showed them the confirmation. Still not good enough. They demanded an order number and told me to check my email, but the Grubhub app doesn’t clearly display one. After working a long day, my frustration grew as I made yet another trip back and forth to the car to get my wife and her phone.
The owner explained it was her “policy” and did apologize for the inconvenience, but the process still made what should have been a quick pickup more challenging than necessary.
We order takeout frequently and are accustomed to straightforward pickup procedures, where a name and confirmation are usually sufficient. A slightly simpler system—such as accepting orders by phone—could make the experience much smoother for customers.
Bottom line: Clarksburg Tavern shows potential, but the current pickup process could benefit from streamlining. We may consider giving them another chance if improvements are made.

My family and I, a party of 6 visited this past weekend while out of town. My brother said the buffalo chicken sandwich was good, but it was ok. The portion of chicken didn't cover the bun. Buffalo should be spicy and this wasn't. The mozzarella sticks had no cheese pull to say they were fresh. The pretzel was good though. I asked the waiter if they did the birthday song and he says yes. So I'm not sure why he came back and asked me the freaking times if I still wanted it. Finally I said forget about it. That was a one and done for me. I 10/10 do not recommend.
The atmosphere was wonderful our waitress was awesome. Food is just regular, although the pretzel perfectly buttered and salted.

I just relocated here from Atlanta. My best friend came to visit me so we came here. This place definitely gave us the best service and great food. I'd recommend anyone to come here. Great recommendations on what to order. 😁

As a previous waitress, I feel that you can take this review to heart. I am ALWAYS on the service’s side. I couldn’t wait to leave this establishment. Ribs were disgusting. Drinks were not stocked. When the rail was not available and the low end was not available, we were charged for high end. I asked specifically for one thing and was given another. Considering the service and quality of food, I felt that my family was kind in response. Bill was incorrect. It was not busy.. at all. It’s just a shame because the atmosphere / bar games could really bring in a crowd.
If I could rate the overall experience it would be a .5. The ribs were so dry and overcooked you couldn’t even cut it with a knife and we weren’t the only ones that complained about the food. The waiter would put the drink order in and the bartender was either in her phone or doing random tasks, mind you there were only 3 parties in this restaurant and it took an average of 10mins per drink. They also had no house gin or tanqueray so I had to get the Hendricks. They ran out of beer that my wife was drinking and had no seltzer. We decided to save the experience by playing pool, I told the bartender we are going to play pool to keep the bill open because I didn’t know where our waiter was. When I went back to get an another round, I asked the bartender to put it on our bill and she told me to go ask the waiter. What is the point of having a Point of sale machine if you can’t quickly add and order; not efficient at all. Took another 10mins for a simple gin and tonic; at one point while waiting she was on her phone. By then it was only us and one other couple. We then got the bill and the ribs were still one there and I told the waiter that this should be removed; his words were but we switched it for a cheesesteak(which is cheaper). So their logic is your food is bad and more expensive than the replacement then we can keep the extra 4 dollars. Normal logic in a restaurant when a group is returning items, the manager would come to find out why but no they had a group huddle while we waiting on our bill. Mind you we were very polite during this whole ordeal. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I now understand why on a Saturday night there are only 2 parties present. In conclusion that place is missing a good manager, a good bartender and a good cook.

Love the Clarksburg Tavern. Great food and service. Nice local beer on tap. Pool table and live music. All with a family owned atmosphere - everyone is always so nice and attentive. If your local to Clarksburg/Urbana/Germantown and haven't gone, you need to check it ou.

Loved the food and decor, but the chef really made our experience! We showed up before they were open on accident, but she let us in and took our orders and took care of us until some servers got there. It was so sweet. Plus their Reuben is super delicious!
