Standard Subway with all the deals, service, offers. Nice to see a Subway in a small town in central Michigan making it. They have all the offers that any Subway has, monthly deal, $5 specials, etc., and great service, located for easy access in the downtown area!!!

This restaurant was as expected for this type of establishment. Food was fresh with cold foods cold, and hot foods hot. Service was a little lacking. Had to keep asking for napkins and drink refills. Overall, OK experience. It got us in and out quickly and on our way.

Place is across the street from a regular stop for us so we thought we would try it. Place was not busy. Waitress was good and food was good as well. It's a keeper.

Stopped in for beer tasting on Saturday afternoon with my wife. Tried 2 flights and spent a couple hours there. They had a good variety of beers and a few ciders and mead too. The two gals working were very fun to talk to and we had a great time.Thanks Roger3116, we look forward to serving you more craft beer in the future.

We ate at the Doherty Restaurant for lunch while traveling through Clare. The menu is somewhat small but with a good variety. Food was freshly cooked and tasty. Service was very friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was pleasant - there are two sections to eat in: the old, original bar and grill section, and a newer section. Pleasant meal, but just a bit pricey for the area.

We rode bikes on the rail trail and stopped in Clare for lunch. This is the first time we were here and the food was amazing! I had the Traverse City Chicken Salad Croissant and there were so many cherries and chicken I had a hard time finishing my sandwich. My husband had the Bella Italia Flatbread Pizza and it was delicious! We also bought cookies to support a local Cancer fundraiser and they were yummy! We will be back!

Great burgers! Great location except parking can be an issue. BUT well worth checking it out. Besides, Copsand Doughnuts is just a block away as well as many shops you need to check out. The booths are small and seats are really short which surprised me. We were able to come in and choose a booth but while we were there the place filled up and a couple people left while 4 couples had to wait outside!One couple had a delicious looking huge dessert. We overheard a part of their conversation with one couple waiting and said "we always stop here when we pass through!"They have seating outside and the restroom is nice but you leave the building to access it. There is a step up to enter the building which is a little awkward. But again, well worth the stop. P.S. Clare is considered "the doorway to the north." There is a nice little campground and park there as well as an outdoorsman huge store north of town!

My daughter and I stopped here and enjoyed lunch on the patio. There is a large selection of sandwiches and I wished I could have tried several. Everything was very fresh and homemade. Prices were fair I felt for homemade breads, pies, and super fresh ingredients.
