Spent the week in Durham for work. I came to Clarks twice during that stay and both times the food and drinks were excellent. Got a burger with Cajun fries the first time and came back on $10 pizza night and got the sausage pizza which was great. Will def come back here if I'm ever in this neck of the woods again

Clarks has become a regular stop for us. (I am new to NH, originally from food elitist NJ). Alway great from cheesy fries to Linguini with meatballs. our reverse prepares a chocolate milk that is total ecstasy for my companion. Ordered some appetizer fare and alway got more than enough for next day's lunch. Staff is awesome and especially helpful. one issue, however, is that when we found the surface of the table in our booth had a sticky feeling like it could use a good wet wipe. We were told that was a characteristic of the wood and efforts to correct did not work. I strongly suggest trying hard, replace the table or provide a table cloth. we are certainly going the return again and again. Saw some items on the menu that are crying out to me. A good pick for a visit to UNH.

We went here on a Saturday. Service was good and food was as well. Tried to come in on a Sunday. It is embarrassing that the front of the house manager does not know what an enhanced New York ID looks like. It’s understandable to be on the lookout for fakes in a college town, but showing how you don’t know what real ids looks like shows your inexperience and inadequacy for your job

We stopped here for dinner after looking at real estate in the area. I got fish and chips (delicious, no issues) and my wife ordered a different dish. The dish was….problematic, so the server Helena took it back to the kitchen. She brought a replacement (same dish) and it had the same problem.The reason I’m not saying exactly what dish or what problem is because Helena and the restaurant owner were so accommodating. They took extremely good care of us and brought my wife a very nice margherita pizza after her other dish didn’t work out.If we end up purchasing a home in this area, we’ll definitely be back.

We went there for breakfast, which they recently started serving. We're glad we did. The wrap I had was fantastic! Cooked to perfection and delicious. Everyone liked their meal (pancakes, omelette, etc). And my wife loved having all the GF options to choose from. The staff was very nice and the owner even came by to make sure we were happy with everything. We'll definitely go again when we're back at UNH.

Wonderful dinner with our UNH students before a hockey game . A great menu lots of choices salads appetizers dinners sandwiches. We all enjoyed our meals and great bar and drink menu . Wonderful service and was very busy but were able to get us seated in the promised time. We look forward to more good times at Clark’s . Highly recommend for a great meal and service .

I would not recommend trying out this place for breakfast. I ordered the hash and eggs with homefries, and the corn beef was incredibly tough and poor quality. My son custom ordered an egg sandwich. The bread was not toasted and was cold. His cheese was not even melted on the sandwich. Our Pancake did not have any flavor what so ever.It's such a shame as Durham could use a good breakfast place. However, to pay $60 for a breakfast that was less than subpar is incredibly frustrating.There were no issues with service, only the taste and quality of food.

We visited on a Sunday evening around dinner time and Clarks was not busy. The host staff, who didn't appear busy, took a while to come over and did not welcome us to the restaurant (our first visit too). Our waitress was new, but she did a decent job with a low level of experience. Most of our food was good but it took a long time for 2 burgers and a fried fish sandwich. The fried fish sandwich was 90% fry and 10% fish and only the broccoli side was good. The burgers and sides were terrific. In general, the management/host staff seemed disengaged to customers, leaving people standing in wait for service, and our visit was a 2 rating. Disappointed because they do have a nice GF offering which has been tough to find in Durham.

Lisa is the best bartender EVER!!!! Never have had a bad drink from her, also NEED her to publish a recipe book. I will make a weekend out of it just to try her specialty drinks! #
We had a fabulous experience at Clark's tonight! Starting with drinks, my cocktail was delicious, we both really enjoyed our dinners. Both were flavorful and prepared perfectly. The staff was friendly and attentive. It was an easy and nice experience from beginning to end. You should really check them out!Dietary restrictions: Had gluten free and vegan options and great mocktails!

Clark’s is owned by lovely people from the community and the manager Lisa creates an atmosphere of community which always brings us back for more! It’s the Cheers of our area! Service is always 100% wonderful! Just like anywhere around here…you have to plan ahead for UNH event nights for the extra time! There are only so many places here in our community. ?❤️
