OC Restaurant Quest: Clarkston Restaurant Reviews

(Crystal A. Proxmire, March 16, 2025)

Clarkston, MI –  Oakland County Times is on a quest to try every restaurant in Oakland County, thanks to our pals at White Castle.  Of course White Castle is our favorite fast food place!  But we also enjoy being able to try new things and support local restaurants as we explore our beautiful county.

We’ve done over 500 reviews so far, including 21 in Clarkston.

Clarkston is home to a variety of restaurants.  The Fed brings class and sophistication to the historic Jossman State Bank building.  Bunkhouse Burgers serves up over the top burgers and shakes.  Art & Jake’s is a popular spot with lots of space to spend with friends.  As far as amazing pizza, there are a lot of great choices including Crispellis, Krave Pizza, Pine Knob Wine Shop Pizzeria, and the pickle pizza from Chubby Charlies.

There are still more restaurants to check out in Berkley, but for now check out our list below, and join in the conversation on Facebook to let us know which are your favorites, and which we should feature next!

Crystal Proxmire is on a quest to try every restaurant in Oakland County. This quest is sponsored by White Castle, in honor of her father who made holidays special with sliders.  White Castle is a family-owned business.  With steam-grilled sliders, crispy golden fries, fantastic slides like onion chips or mac and cheese nibblers, and the best chocolate shakes, White Castle is a by far our top choice for a fast-food meal.  Check out their website at www.WhiteCastle.com.
