Cafe Downtown Clinton — Restaurant in Clinton

First off, let me start by saying I found the proprietor, an older lady with a quick smile and friendly disposition, to be a kind in that warmly Southern way that is the pride of our great country’s lower latitudes. The establishment was clean enough, as were the bathrooms. The big windows in the front let it ample light if you choose those tables, and the younger woman behind the register was as helpful as she could be. On the way to the back restroom there was a table of random old ladies playing cards, which was a cute Norman Rockwell scene crowned in country charm as pure as their permed hair was white. That being said, this isn’t so much a critique as a plea to the owner: PLEASE revamp your whole operation. Don’t take it out on the ladies in the kitchen, who were nice enough and doing their best with your constrained menu and ingredient quality, instead, change the entire menu. Everything was overpriced, terrible in flavor, and of the quality one would expect from institutional food from a medium sized psychiatric facility. I cite that instead of a prison because you’d have to be nuts to feel the flavor of this food was anything more than comparable to bland wood chips, less the wood and minus the chips. Salt couldn’t add flavor if it tried (so barren was want for anything approaching savory), and what taste there was was about as bad as Hillary Clinton’s reelection prospects in 2028.

I don’t understand the few overweight people I saw in town if this is the type of sustenance locals eat. The one positive lining, besides the aforementioned positives, was that it didn’t make me sick, but if I wanted sterile food I would just stick to the MRE’s I used to eat on deployment. Clinton deserves better, and if you want to support local, I’d head over to the great lil’ cafe a block off in the old...

As the first contestant in “who has the best dessert in Oklahoma”, Cafe Downtown Clinton has a big lead. The desserts are home made, banana cake like your mom used to make and custard pie like my mom used to make. The pie crust is amazing. The cake is moist. This cafe is a must for anyone touring Route 66, visiting the South for the winter or even a day trip from OKC. It will be tough for the next contestants...
