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!

The food was outstanding! My wife had the prime rib, which she said was delicious. It was a VERY good sized portion. I had the petite filet, which was one of the best I have ever had. Our waitress was Chelsea, and she was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of all the items we asked about on the menu. Overall, the experience was truly wonderful.

Service was great. Our server was super nice and attentive. Food was quality was subpar, flavorless and expensive. We’ve ate here about a year ago with a great experience. This time, the food was very disappointing. Restaurant was clean, but the rest of the casino was not. From the elevator waiting area and halls to the restaurant needed a lot of attention.

I’ve been here several times now and I’ve always been hit or miss as far as the food, tonight it was a miss . The tots were good but I ordered a caprese flatbread and it was undercooked and not at all crisp, then my friend ordered a filet well and it was medium rare and had to be sent back . Almost like the orders were rushed but it wasn’t overly busy at the time we went. My mom got the calamari which she said was ok and my friend had the onion soup which I find is always good

I had a very nice burger with fries and a side salad,and my wife a huge bowl of clam chowder which she liked. Surprise. Wine was on sale for 3 $ a glass. Using our dining credits and points(which we’re not accumulated a lot)bill was 5$. So much better than eating in coasters bar for a few dollars more! Better food, and better ambiance for almost the same price

Our dining experience was enjoyable. The waitress offered a steak knife for the Prime beef I ordered, yet cutting the meat was difficult. When a second steak knife was also ineffective, I used my Camillus titanium knife, which cut through the meat with ease. It might be a good time to consider upgrading your steak knives. Ed
