The Clarion Mall — Local services in Monroe Township

Critic's corner for Wednesday evening

Red River Steakhouse located in the Clarion Mall Clarion, Pennsylvania

This evening was the furthest that my dining companions and I have traveled outside of our immediate area for an evening out.

The place was packed.

I noticed there was a beautiful bar located in the restaurant but since there was seating available we decided to just be seated.

Our waitress was very kind and patient with us. It took us a while to decide what to order for appetizers. and even longer to decide our main courses.

We finally ordered stuffed potato skins, beer battered chicken pieces, and a very large blooming onion served with a special tangy flavor spiced with a hint of heat. Everything was delicious.

The portions were very generous and we had to stop ourselves from continuing to enjoy such wonderful treats so that we would have room for the main course.

Most of my dining companions ordered steak in some form or another however I chose to have beer battered Cod fish and another one of my companions ordered fettuccine.

The most common phrase heard from all of my dining companions was "excellent." Eating there was a splendid choice. It certainly was worth the drive over to enjoy such a wonderful meal with great friends.

If you ask will we dine there again the answer is absolutely without a doubt!

I just received an email from Google maps I'm including with the pictures of our meals this evening. My pictures from restaurant critiques Have received over...

What happened here?! I realize change needs to happen, but there's really no selections of anything to be called a mall. all that widening of the road did was eliminate all the good stores, and that's not limited to the mall. How bahta shaht aht to Clarion County Commissioners etc for destroying small business and infastructure!! Maybe y'all can put the welfare office in the mall next and bring another usless hotel or high priced restaurant to a depressed economic location while allowing such a racket uptown charging for storm water removal. Clarion needs a shakedown n removal of usless corrupt officials and Comet should be given money to start back up by the county. Heck, put Comet beside the welfare office in the mall! This town really went downhill when they started messing with the businesses everywhere. Can't blame COVID. It's all Clarion...

Clarion Kmart (which is inside the Clarion Mall) is going out of business and closing, so I was there doing some Christmas shopping bc i had $75 in reward card credit. Thought I'd find lots of deals bc whole store varies from 10-75% off items. Was extremely disappointed in them bc they had all these deals, but in reality, they weren't deals at all! All they did was jack the prices up, to try deceiving into thinking u were making out and getting great deals. I mean, a 2nd hand toy that I found elsewhere for $6.99 was marked at $24.99..Seriously?!?! They're closing for a reason, I suppose? Lol.. Kmart in clarion has always been so over-rated and expensive compared to other places..only good thing about them, was the pharmacy. Closing...
