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!

An absolutely fantastic place to eat. We got the Chicken Fried Steak, a cheeseburger, and some brisket tater tots. The Chicken fried steak was super flavorful, and was clearly made in house along with the gravy, fries, and mashed potatoes. The burger was incredibly juicy and flavorful, but be sure to have napkins on the ready. Finally, the brisket tater tots were delicious and seasoned to perfection. Overall this was a fantastic place to stop for a bite to eat, and we will be returning.Warning: you will need a to go box.

The people are super friendly and nice. The food was old and ridiculously bland. I had the "smoked" rib plate. The smokiest thing was the Sysco Foods BBQ sauce. I asked if the potato salad was made fresh or from scratch they said yes. The server didn't lie he just doesn't know. It's all Sysco Foods they warm it up nothing is made from scratch, but they charge made from scratch prices. $29.99 for my rib plate. Great people but the food sucks.—————My reply to your reply—-1920 CSTThe quality of the food suggests it was not freshly prepared. The meat appeared to have been cooked hours earlier and reheated through steaming, resulting in subpar BBQ. The potato salad seemed to be a pre-packaged product, likely sourced from a food service provider such as Sysco Foods. If necessary, I can obtain a sample for laboratory testing to compare it against standard food service offerings to confirm its origin.The food was bad. I was polite about it because of how nice the people were.
