Visited on a Sunday for lunch. Was packed. They cleaned off a table right away and got seated. Ordered drinks and when waitress returned ordered. Took a little while for the food to be served, but not bad considering the crowd. Attentive service, and the food was excellent. They used to only have bbq, but now the menu covers a wide variety. I had grilled Pork Chops and the person with me had grilled chicken sandwich. Big portions too. Sides were also good and waitress kept drinks topped off. Prices seemed reasonable. Atmosphere was also themed accordingly. I would return.

Really good food! We had the brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, pulled pork, Mac n cheese, country beans, potato salad and fried squash. Everything was yummy! We can’t wait to go again and try the many other options such as chicken fried steak, hamburgers, loaded fries, stuffed potato, etc.
The wait staff was attentive and friendly. We didn’t have to wait for a table so that was nice. The food came out quickly. All around a great experience!

Nice little place. The interior is comfortable and clean. The pulled pork sandwich is great, with a generous amount of tender, juicy meat. The Mac & Cheese is delicious, with plenty of cheese and a hint of diced peppers to give it a little extra flavor.

We really wanted to like this place.
First impression was home in the wall. These can be the best.
We met some people there and it’s an old country like feel. Staff was super nice, but forgot fries, didn’t check on us and we ran out of water. The food, we all agreed was average. The brisket didn’t have a lot of taste, fries were good once they came, but not hot. Some loved the baked beans, I thought they were just ok. (They tasted like canned to me). The bread pudding is 3 of our favorite, it was so strong with nutmeg, I couldn’t eat it and nobody liked it.
The table was so sticky. I think it was just the verathane, but gross.
There was no sign to seat yourself and we waited a few minutes to be acknowledged.
We won’t be back. It was very disappointing.

Had biscuits and gravy. Smallest serving imaginable! Tiny tough biscuits, no meat in the gravy, zero! They must have saved the grease from a previous customer to make the gravy. Biscuits were tough, anemic gravy, worst dining experience in years. Definitely will not be back.

Unique historic BBQ restaurant. The best BBQ and calf fries in North Texas. Their brisket and Mac and cheese is unbelievably good. They also offer a full bar. With excellent cocktails and some wonderful dessert options. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service. The restaurant is much larger inside than it appears from the outside. They also offer an outside dining area. Our first visited Clarks in 1996 at the original structure. Unfortunately, the original building was lost to a fire in the early 2000s. The new structure was built from the bricks of the original restaurant. The building has changed, but ket the original charm, great food and drinks and service. We will be back soon.

We decided to go for a day trip to a few small towns near Celina and stopped for lunch at Clark’s Outpost. It was a very pleasant experience. The food was delicious and desert was amazing – apple crumble pie with cinnamon ice cream. OMG! The service was also very friendly and it felt just like home. Well come back for sure!

Food is delicious. I’ve had loaded tots and the Bryan Burger which i really like alot. Tasty and messy = delicious to me. Smoked baked beans are awesome. Service is good but could use some improvement. They are always friendly, and the food comes out in a timely manner. If your in Tioga, please stop by Clark’s Outpost for a delicious meal.

The breakfast coffee is probably the best breakfast coffee I’ve had anywhere. I enjoyed the tacos and the brisket. They have a homemade barbecue sauce.
That is absolutely wonderful. we were looking for a good place to go check out outside the city. This was a great place to go.

Chicken fried steak was very good. Lunch portion was plenty and you can’t beat the price. Friendly service…
