We ate at Minard’s the other and had a great experience. Our waitress was very friendly and answered our questions about the menu. We took her recommendation and ordered the lasagna, which was big enough for two people. The sauce was excellent and we can’t wait to return for more.

We stopped in last night (to try it again, after two other failed attempts) hate to not patronize because it’s been a staple in our family. However, our waitress was wonderful! Our salads, great (our waitress made) I ordered a steak hoagie combo. The bun wasn’t cut correctly, leaving the toppings left on top instead of inside, wasn’t baked well~ temperature cold. It fell apart attempting to try to eat it. That was a fail. My daughter in law ordered salmon, that wasn’t cooked fully, had to send that back as well. Our waitress was amazing. The manger tried to make it right by offering another meal or a dessert. We declined. So she comped by bill $9 I believe. I know good help is hard to find, before you bring that food out, look at it, don’t serve something that already looks bad before taking it to your paying customers. Do better. I have faith in the Minards family. It will never be what it was growing up, but what is. Keep trying. Pay attention. If it’s not looking good, chances are it’s not tasting good.

The food is normally very good. There was a visit when the food was not up to par, so the next time I mentioned the issue to the general manager. He apologized and gave me my order for free. He showed genuine concern and handled things in a very professional manner.

Should have know from the empty parking lot and all the dead plants in front of the building. Was told they have new owners by the inexperienced waitress. Reservations for 10 tonight one person’s food was not even on her ticket she forgot to write it down then was told sorry it will be out in 15 minutes It came out 5 minutes later and noodles was not all the way cooked . Been a loyal customer for many ( over 20 years ) . Definitely was not the same sauce or salad it used to be ! Even the bread was different. Needless to say we won’t be back .Actually if changes aren’t made I doubt they will be there much longer .Four of our guest didn’t even eat there food .Very Disappointed…..

We have been going here for over 30 years. Walking in the landscaping was filled with dead plants. The entry way was so hot and stuffy it felt like they had the heat on. The food was less than desirable. The bread was not even an Italian bread. The desert was so bad the 4 year old couldn’t eat it. The bathroom was as hot and stuffy as the entrance. I’m sorry to say the tradition of going here with our family has came to an end ☹️

Been going to this restaurant for 40 plus years. Not sure what has happened to this place. Took a group of 8 people. The food is definitely not the same as it used to be to be. The entrance of the place was definitely not as desirable as it once was. Bathrooms felt like the heat was on. Bread seemed to have changed as well. I use to make this a mandatory stop to have dinner when coming from Florida. Sorry I won’t be making it a priority anymore. Help things get better.

The best Italian restaurant in Clarksburg, WV. You can't go wrong here. House salad dressing is fantastic.

March, 2025 Back again. Same great waitress. Quick efficient service. Had the Pick 2 and Pick 3 dinners. Fetticini Alfredo sauce was creamy. Eggplant parmasean pretty heavily breaded. Lasagna and ravioli was good.
October, 2024 Awesome waitstaff. Friendly and welcoming. Delicious Italian pasta dishes, soups (lobster bisque was incredible!), salads ( fresh and crispy) and Gelato! Casual setting in a family owned restaurant with an 87 year history of serving Italian food to Clarksburg!

Well I hadn't been in since I complained to the manager on a different issue but thought why not give them another shot because in the past they were one of my favorite places to eat so I took my family a went the wait time was a little long since there was only one other table seated at the time we wait about minutes to even get drinks when we got our salad I noticed that the bread was not fresh bread and was more then usual hard I don't believe it was made that day when the spaghetti came out it kinda had an off aroma but I chalked it up to maybe not going there in awhile but the flavor just wasn't there for some reason im guessing I will just not go back a find a different place to get my Italian food from
Not growing up here in this area but have always heard the hype about other Italian restaurants like Muriale's & Oliverio's but Minard's is our family's absolute favorite. We order take out almost weekly & they are consistently very good with getting our order right. The salad with house dressing is so good & the lasagna is delicious. Nobody makes a better pasta sauce. Bravo Minard's! Delizioso! Buonissimo!!

Reading others reviews did this place get sold or under new management? Sad to see so many 1 star reviews. Joe Fazios Italian restaurant in Charleston, is getting slammed as well since the parents died and the kids are running the restaurant now. Be a shame my 2 favorite Italian restaurants east of the Mississippi have gone downhill. ???

Soooo disappointed! I was warned by several people that the food had gone down hill! I had to see for myself. I will not return. Bread was stale!!!! Pasta was overcooked! Service was ok.
