I ordered a large burger with rye instead of regular bun...They accommodated and it was a great burger. Cozy place if your a fan of dinners. Seemed like it's probably been there awhile. I will go back next time I want a burger!

Hot Fudge cake is great! Asked for a well done hamburger,’burn it!’. It was barely cooked and mushy, I didn’t eat it. Fries were limp not crispy.

Clarence's Restaurant is a real gem in Erwin! The food was absolutely fantastic – every dish we tried was clearly made with care and bursting with flavor. What truly elevated the experience was the staff; they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. You can tell they take pride in what they do.
Honestly, the only tiny hiccup in an otherwise perfect meal was the ketchup. While perfectly acceptable, this place deserves the best, and for me, that means Heinz. It's a small detail, but upgrading to the classic would take Clarence's from nearly perfect to absolutely flawless.
Despite this minor preference, I wholeheartedly recommend Clarence's. You're guaranteed a delicious meal and a warm welcome. It's easily a 4 and a half star experience!

I do not understand I worked there and the dine in portions are bigger than this... Like I'm confused.... We were on hold for 20 mins I understand with the hurricane and all but when we pulled up (still on hold) there were 4 cars in the parking lot. My mother in law was not happy l ..
This is just sad... It was cold and hint I live near the dairy ace... I might as well go there next time.
Got 2 "cold" roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy (cold) and green beans (which was also cold)
I do not understand.... Please fix this issue....please y'all's wait staff are rude idk if the girl was new but damn do better

I wasn’t really happy with the food today. The burger didn’t have any flavor to it and the bread was mushy. Granted I’ve not eaten lunch here before, but compared to what I used to have this is drastically different in taste and quality. I haven’t eaten here since before their last place burned down, but that food was good enough then for me to look forward to visiting them today while in Erwin. The staff was nice though, but there was a smell I couldn’t quite put my finger on inside the restaurant. Maybe a musty smell? Idk. I hate leaving a negative review, but I honestly do not think the quality of food I got today was worth the $20 I spent. Maybe they had an off day today? They are usually so good. Idk. I think it may be worth giving it a shot later on, but not the hamburgers. I’ll do breakfast next time.
