Delicious food. I ate so much i felt sick! I got the turkey and gravy platter with corn fritters, my wife got the local favorite spaghetti!
I also got the desert with ice cream (caramel sundae) that is made from scratch right there (in-store)

This was our first time at this restaurant and it will definitely be our last.
We were surprised by the prices at first, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. The service was good and the staff was kind, so no complaints there. However, the food was extremely disappointing.
The rolls they serve are clearly not homemade they look like the packaged Hawaiian rolls from Walmart, and they don’t even warm them up. The butter comes in those small individual plastic containers like the ones you get at a gas station. Nothing is homemade. If you’re dining alone, you get only one roll. If you’re in a group, it’s one per person. It was just me and my husband.
I ordered the grilled chicken and was excited to have a nicely cooked grilled meal, but instead I received pale, undercooked chicken that was pink inside. They offer a very watery ranch dip on the side, which honestly feels like an attempt to distract from the fact that the chicken is undercooked. I couldn’t eat any of it. The coleslaw also did not look safe to eat.
I had read in a Facebook group that this was a place where people had found hair in their food. I didn’t experience that myself, but the food quality alone was bad enough.
I asked for a to-go box just to avoid embarrassing the server, but I didn’t eat anything later. My husband ordered the turkey with gravy covered in gravy, which makes you wonder if it was to hide that the turkey was also undercooked. The next morning, he had severe diarrhea.
I do not recommend this place. Pay a little more and eat somewhere better.

Great, friendly and cheerful staff (don’t see enough of that these days). Food was great, though I was a little disappointed they were out of one of the “local favorites”, the homemade meatloaf. I need to go back, but on Saturday or Sunday this time, when they are serving their signature Cream of Crab soup. They also make their own ice cream! And, they sell it ‘to go’ in quarts and true pints.

Very friendly staff. The food was delicious. I had the French Dip. I was only going to eat half and ended up eating it all. My husband said the coffee was very good, not bitter. Looking forward to going back when I save room for dessert!

Walked in and we were never greeting. Took 10 min to get a seat and not a single person greeted us or said hello. Then when the girl came to take us to our booth I asked her if it was a booth or a table, and she looked at me and just said booth. No hi how are you…. Then we sit down and no one comes over to our table not even to get our drinks I had to ask for service. Then when the waitress comes over takes our order.. our order was missing An item and then we were charged for it so I had to ask for that to come off the receipt. Understand that these waitresses are very young however, the service was absolutely terrible. No one asked us how we were doing. The customer was HORRENDOUS and the food not good.

we went in there after church and I ordered a hot roast beef sandwich with french fries and gravy on all of it and oh my God I think that’s the best gravy I’ve ever had. The service was phenomenal. The waitress was amazing. It was a great experience and I look forward to going back.

TLDR: Time capsule family restaurant whipping up delicious home style meals for a reasonable price. Come for the broasted chicken!
Vibe: 5/5. Located on the outskirts of Hanover, Clair’s has been a cornerstone family restaurant for the area since the 70s. Back in the 90s, I have fond memories of going to Clair’s with my family for Friday night dinners. The restaurant itself has mostly left unchanged from what I can remember, but in a good way. The bright yellow sign out front, the ice cream cold display case at the entrance, to the charming booths with the removable partitions between each just play into childhood memories of simpler times. With how old the overall restaurant is, everything is well maintained and very clean. A testament to the hard working staff and devout ownership.
Service: 5/5. We went on a Saturday night around 6pm for dinner and had a wonderful service.My party of 4 arrived to a fully packed restaurant, however we were fortunate to get a booth table after a brief 5 minute wait. The restaurant does not take reservations, but you can have Google call the restaurant to check on the wait time, a nice convenience. Our waitress was outstanding from start to finish. She was very friendly and did an excellent job keeping our drinks filled. Food came out punctually and piping hot. Overall, Clair ‘s staff has their service down pact and truly makes you feel at home.
Food: 5/5. Exactly how I remembered. The core menu has remained mostly unchanged from what I remembered coming as a kid. From your classic turkey and gravy to Salisbury steak, all your classic family restaurant favorites are here. On top of that, they have daily specials that have a more modern/seasonal twist on the classics. At the time of my visit, they were serving Yuengling beer battered haddock which I decided to order. The fish was perfectly fried and had hardy portions. Speaking of portion size, each dinner included your choice of 2 side items from a dozen or so items. Highly recommend the breaded zucchini as well as the fried corn fritters, both of which were childhood favorites of mine that lived up to my nostalgia hype. Dinner prices range between $10-15 per platter, which is very reasonable for the amount of food you receive. Don’t forget to save room for dessert, as Clair’s dishes up lovely hand spun milkshakes and sundaes using Hershey’s ice cream. Overall, Clair’s offers up the perfect casual dinner for those that just want to kick back and remember simpler times

My 2nd year ordering the Thanksgiving dinners for 4 adults. Two forturkey and 2 for ham. The portions were very generous and every aspect of the meal was delicious! Their cranberry sauce is special. The mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing were excellent as was the carrots and corn casserole . The pumpkin pie and brownie were delicious!

I don’t know where to begin! I grew up going to Clair’s. It truly is a home away from home. Great food! Staff are so friendly and all work very hard. Annual Thanksgiving meals are always a hit, although I think this year topped all!

Whenever we go to Hanover Pa we always stop at Clair’s Restaurant to eat. They have the best food especially their soups made fresh everyday. When we finish our meal you can buy Hershey ice cream cones. The prices are reasonable, the staff is good & the restaurant & bathrooms are clean.
