Clark's Dining Room to close Nov. 1

Never heard of it. Won't be missed.

I started eating there years ago...
But quit going when the prices went up.......and the quality started down........

They did in fact raise prices.....twice that I know of in the past few years

Still hate to see them go..

Try The Nutcracker on Rt. 16 & Rt 310

But the recession is over right barak?

Yeah, Barry said the recession was over due to his brilliant economic policies. I guess not everyone got the memo.

CSD -

Didn't you get the memo? The stimulus package is only for inner-city areas and union shops. Clark's was neither.

For those of you who have never been to Clarks you can't imagine the food or people. They serve dinner family style with plenty of food. The desert is included with the meal. For a reasonable price you get a 1/2 of chicken, salad, mash potatoes, vegetable, rolls and homemade desert. It's true homemade style food and dining with friendly staff. One of the only places left I know of. It will indeed be greatly missed.

Hi Topper

I say your comment about the Nutcracker. The only time I went there I had a hamburger and something they called "chips". Terrible food! We spent as much money for that as we did a full meal at Clark's.

Noooooooooo!!! Columbus doesn't have fried chicken to compare, and I hate loosing a great "mom and pop" shop to the recession...

I don't go there often but my parents took me and my brother there on Sunday's as a special meal when we were kids. I've taken my son there and he loved it. The staff was extremely kind to him and it just made for a nice meal. I hate to hear they are closing and wish the best for the owners and all the employees.

Please raise the price. I'll pay more. It's the only place around here with decent, southern fried chicken.

Sounds fishy. The place is always packed when I go. Maybe he just wants to retire.

The veggies and potato buds were not very good but the chicken was da bomb.

We go about once every 2 months. Nice stop on the way to visit the Dawes Arboretum.

Did you sit up all night brushing up on being an AH, or does it just come natural to you.

This is also for CSD and NOBAMA Your man lost, the election is over, so why don't we just all move on. You are either part of the solution or part of the problem. If you are part of the problem, then just pick the country where you would rather live and I'm sure I can arrange a one-way plane ticket for you to get there. Trust me, you will not be missed by those of us in the middle.

Newark's economy is not recovering.

Rural areas are usually conservative and republican and republicans don't want the government to do anything for them. So, they didn't.

Not exactly rocket science.

This is so very sad. My family started going to this restaurant in the 1950's. We celebrated many birthdays, anniversaries and Mother's Days there. We love you Clark's Dining Room. We will miss you!

I agree with you Eugene C. This is not about Obama. Stop whining. Obama never said the recession was over. Who was in for the previous eight years and only exacerbated the problem? Look up that word if you don't understand.

It will be missed by many. If you don't have time to make the trip to Jacksontown or don't want to wait in the lines that will surely be there as folks go for one last time, just think of it as the antithesis of a Corporate Restaurant.

You must be the owner of The Nutcracker. Clark's is in a totally different category, a much better one.
