How have I lived here for 3 years and never eaten at Buddy Clark’s??? Bar staff were super friendly, welcoming, and prompt. Bar food was some of the best I’ve had around the Scranton area. Wings were crisp to perfection and the sauce was the right combination of sweet and salty, got the Cajun honey and hot garlic parm. The summer salad was pleasantly delicious and had the right balance of non-lettuce ingredients, they didn’t skimp. I only saw the bar area, but it’s cutely decorated with the flowers on the ceiling and clean. I think this’ll be my new local go to.

Great atmosphere and great company. Food was better than we expected, I will have to say many many words about the honey jerk chicken wing sauce, which is now become my favorite chicken wing sauce in all of the county. It's a great place to show up when you are wearing a suit or a raincoat or an Easter Bunny outfit or not sweatpants. And also take note that it is handicap accessible.

Omg loved! Best burger I’ve had in a long time. Caramelized bacon and garlic sauce are bomb. Literally everything was delicious including the drinks!

Believe all the good things people are saying about Buddy Clarke's! We had been hearing good things about this place and finally decided to come over! It was busy but not overcrowded and we didn't have a problem finding seats at the bar. Now, I'm a big beer drinker and I usually do not eat when I drink. However, I wanted to try the Smoked Pork Pub Chips. I've attached a picture. Yes it's that big of a portion and everything from the chips to the barbecue sauce to the pulled pork is house made! It's supposed to be a shareable appetizer, but I ate it all! Brian and Nicole were great when it came to making sure that we didn't have to wait for drinks or food! They were also great hosts with a patient ear and good conversation! If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for! If you have
