19 Best American Restaurants in Clarkston

“I ordered the twin filet medallions, and they were cooked to the right temperature. The whole meal was very good. The cherry crisp was not the best, but it was okay. Would visit again, but make sure you have reservations.

Parking: Come early and good luck trying to find a spot.“

“Great food, great atmosphere, good prices. This food is some of the best food around. It's far closer to homemade than generic store bought restaurant fare. Very much enjoyed the staff as well. HIGHLY Recommended.“

“Amazing dinner on a whim on our way home from Detroit. Everything (service, atmosphere, food, prices) was better than we could have hoped for. We will go out of our way to eat here again. Thanks for a great experience!“

“Service and staff were excellent. Riley was our server and was attentive w/o being overly so. Shannon, manager, stopped by a few times to check on things, which always gets extra credit from us as they are more involved with the overall experience. Food was good and plentiful, and cocktails were well made.“

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“

“We sat out in the tented area on a very cold night, and yet it was comfortably warm in there. Service was faster than I expected on a busy Saturday evening, and our orders were exactly as we requested.

Dietary restrictions: The gluten free hamburger buns aren't great, but our server noticed that I'd taken it off and asked my opinion & suggestions. The burger itself was good, though!“

“My family used the Game Room 2/23/25 for a Memorial Gathering for my brother, Andrew Clark. Though the reason for the occasion was a somber one, the Game Room was perfect in atmosphere, size, amenities, and decor! Food was top notch, service superior with our 2 bartenders who kept dishes clear and beverages flowing. Erin, the manager was a jewel to work with! She answered questions and offered suggestions and took every phone call with grace and sincerity. I would highly recommend Buck Shots Bar and Grill for any reason to get together with family and friends! Sheryl Greene, 2/25/25“
