“So great as usual and I visit often. I will just say that I am disappointed that the biscuits are smaller and now too dry but I get that's a corporate issue. Also I used to get soft scrambled eggs that were perfect but now they're always so dry. New cook probably. So I'll just switch to poached.“

“My son had us drive 52 minutes from Big Rapids to Grand Rapids to try this place. Management was super pleasant. The menu has so many things to choose from. Those perch fish fingers we delicious. We also had wings bone in and boneless and mozzarella sticks. Fountain drinks were a hit also. If in the area give them a try, they won't disappoint.“

“Absolutely delicious! We stopped in on a Tuesday for dinner and were greeted with great service. We got the catfish, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and mac and it was all amazing! I haven’t found anything so close to family cooking in a restaurant before. We both left clean plates. Will definitely be returning!“

“CLK overall was an amazing environment and very family oriented. I would like to give a huge shout out to the manager from last night, I came in believing I had a reservations because I was celebrating my bday but also doing a gender reveal that was done Feb 13th for March 1st but it wasn’t in there system. Instead of turning me around her and some of staff maneuvered and make things work in my favor. The server we had started out great but then became a little rude and I don’t know if it was because of my party downsizing or what but the attitude changed. She started reaching over ppl not saying excuse me so I became a little irritated on my special day. I really wanted to experience more of the food but the way things went it just changed the whole energy for me. But everything wasn’t bad and like I said I truly appreciate the amazing manager from last night and I was told that the bartender that made the drinks was superb!!!! Thank you“
