    I have been to Clarkies Diner for breakfast, lunch and dinner, each on a separate occasion. The first thing that you realize is that their portions are large! I have yet to be able to finish my food. I take it home to enjoy later. Every one of the staff were very friendly each and every time I have eaten here. Even when the place is packed they are courteous! The Cinnamon streusel muffins are delicious and if you haven't tried one, you MUST! The onion rings are a must-try as well! They are fantastic! It's a little noisy when it's full but still worth being there for the food.

    Very good home cooked food.
    Be prepared to wait. Well worth it.
    Biscuits and gravy the best.

    True American Dinner experience.

    Service was lightning fast and friendly.

    If you show up before 8:30 am the wait should be minimal.

    We had the breakfast burrito. It's massive, the sausage was delicious. My wife had the bacon waffle , she loved it.

    For dessert we had the cinnamon strudel it was great!

    Food: If you're looking for some goodies from the griddle, this is your place! Their bacon waffles were delicious and enough can't be said about their cinnamon streusel.

    Service: Because this is a popular spot, you can expect a wait. If you are an early bird, you can avoid the longer waits. Servers are super friendly and always a pleasant experience.

    Clarkies is another Family run, Family style Yucaipa/Calimesa Secret that everyone knows.
    If you haven't been to Clarkies, for the "Anything on the Memu" you ain't from around here....lol
    It's Fantastic service, make you feel right at home, and home style food.
    Big plate, warm belly, good service. Seating is as expected and comfortable enough, they want me to mention the ambiance, but, you go to Clarkies for the food.....I don't think anyone has noticed what's on the walls.....we come to eat!

    Hands down one of the best breakfast places of all time. Staff were friendly, the wait was not bad for a Saturday morning. The food was absolutely delicious and one plate fed two of us. The restaurant was busy but the staff was on it they helped every customer that walked through the doors out. Will definitely be recommending this place to anyone I know.

    Cinnamon Streusel was amazing!! All the food was great! Was about a 10-15 min wait for the table but worth the wait and the food comes out quick. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Busy but very nice atmosphere. If you're ever in the area it's differently worth a try.
