About this restaurant

Charming
Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions

P.J. Clarke's at Tioga Downs Casino Resort is a little taste of the big apple with an upstate, New York small town charm combined with a Resort full of fun. Although the restaurant is fairly new at Tioga Downs Casino Resort, the name P.J. Clarke's is a legend in New York. So in the original P.J. Clarke's words we're serving up "Fresh food, frosty drinks and good, old-fashioned conversation." P.J. Clarke's is know for their delicious burgers, such as our Cadillac Burger (double smoked country bacon, onion, American cheese, and bread & butter pickle) but we are not your average burger joint. Add in a full fresh Raw Bar with the best seafood in town and a master at shucking, the best Maryland Crab cakes, to die for French Onion Soup, Juicy USDA grass fed steaks, and much more!

We have had this server a few times and she’s just not very good at her job. She’s very overwhelmed can’t handle her section. She should just not be a server. I’ve worked in restaurants for 26 years and then a manager of one and I would wanna know if one of my servers was performing this way she does not possess the qualities that a. FOH team member should have. Thank you.

First off, we waited 1hr for our food( “ no one told hostess that there should be no walk ups”). My guest ordered the Father’s Day special, which included 3 large scallops according to the board at the entrance and the waitress description, but when it was served, the waitress stated that was a mistake and there only were 2 served. I ordered the prime rib(which I have had there in the past) .there was a solid hunk of fat the was at least 25% of the piece of meat. I expect some on a prime rib , but spread throughout , this was pure fat 3/4 inch thick. I’ve never been served that on my plate before. Poor management as far as I’m concerned, if they advertised the scallops wrong, they should have bit the bullet and served 3 as advertised,and I eat prime rib a lot , even preparing it myself, but I can’t imagine a professional chef presenting a piece of meat like I got for a,customer.

I ordered the Chicken Pot Pie all the time. Prior it was thick and lots of fillings. Yesterday it was watery with very little filling and we bit smaller. I was looking forward all week to this meal and sorry to say not up to Par. Waitress was excellent.

The food was very good, but I think the breadsticks that we were given at the start of the meal were from the day before they weren’t very fresh and it was only 5 pm
