If you're driving through the woods of Beaver Creek, Oregon and wondering where to grab a real meal, cold beer, or a bag of ice before heading back to the cabin, there's one answer locals have trusted for nearly 100 years: Clarkes General Store & Eatery. Part historic general store, part full-service restaurant and bar, Clarkes is the kind of backwoods institution that's tough to find anymore — and once you see the menu, you'll understand why it's become the go-to stop for anyone living, working, or camping in this stretch of Clackamas County.
This guide breaks down everything on Clarkes menu, from shareable starters to fresh-baked pizza, hearty burgers, and stacked sandwiches — plus what makes this 1925 general store worth the drive.
What Is Clarke's General Store & Eatery?
Clarkes General Store & Eatery is a historic general store, restaurant, and bar located at 25760 S Beavercreek Rd in Beavercreek, Oregon. Established in 1925, Clarkes has spent nearly a century serving the rural community around Beaver Creek — first as a straightforward general store stocking groceries and daily essentials, and now as a full sit-down eatery with booth seating, a bar serving beer on tap, and a menu that rivals restaurants twice its size.
What makes Clarkes different from a typical restaurant is that it's still a working general store first. Walk in and you'll find:
Snacks, chips, candy, and jerky
Beer, soda, and other drinks to grab and go
Home essentials like toilet paper and paper goods
Milk and basic grocery items
Tobacco and nicotine products
Then, right alongside all of that, there's a full restaurant and bar serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with dine-in, takeout, and a real menu worth planning a trip around.
Starters & Favorites
Clarkes Starters & Favorites menu is built for sharing — or not, if you'd rather keep the whole basket to yourself. This is where you'll find the shareable, crowd-pleasing side of the menu, including a few dishes that have earned a permanent spot as customer go-tos.
The Favorites section includes:
Ranchers Nachos (Serves Two) — loaded with beef or chicken, tomato, onion, olive, jalapeño, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa
Fish & Chips — three pieces of tilapia fried pub-style, served with house-made tartar sauce
Chicken Strips & Fries — four plump, juicy strips served with creamy ranch
On the Starters side, you've got a full lineup of classic bar-food done right:
Sweet Potato Fries with spicy 1000 Island
Mozzarella Cheese Sticks with thick marinara
Hot Wings with ranch or blue cheese
Fire Crackers with Sweet Chili Sauce
Fried Pickles with creamy ranch
Jalapeño Poppers with creamy ranch
Beer Battered Onion Rings with house-made "max" sauce
Whether you're stopping in solo for a quick bite or bringing the whole crew after a day outdoors, this section of the menu is designed to be the easy, satisfying start to any meal at Clarkes.
Pizza at Clarke's
Pizza is one of the biggest draws on Clarkes menu, and it's built around a simple, honest process: every pizza starts with a quality crust, gets piled high with fresh toppings, and is baked to order in-house. It's not fussy, and it's not trying to be a big-city pizzeria — it's straightforward, hot, fresh pizza made the way a backwoods general store should make it.
Clarke's offers 12 specialty pizzas, available in Personal, Medium, and Large sizes:
Pepperoni — lots of spicy pepperoni
Highlander — Canadian-style bacon and pineapple
Spicy Sweet — pepperoni, pineapple, jalapeño
Unger Wonder — pepperoni, mushroom, olive
Clarkes Combo — salami, pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushroom, olive, green pepper, onion
Classic Margherita — olive oil, garlic, mozzarella and parmesan blend, tomato, basil
Special Veggie — spinach, onion, garlic, artichoke, mushroom, olive, sun-dried tomato
BBQ Chicken — chicken, bacon, onion, BBQ sauce
Garlic Chicken — chicken, feta, tomato, onion, artichoke, mushroom, creamy garlic sauce
Fire Hall — pepperoni, Italian sausage, beef, mushroom, olive, green pepper, jalapeño
The Logger — pepperoni, Canadian-style bacon, salami, Italian sausage, ground beef

Prefer to build your own? Clarkes lets you start with a natural mozzarella cheese base and your choice of tomato sauce, BBQ, olive oil, or creamy garlic sauce, then load it up with meat and specialty toppings like pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, chicken breast, hot honey, and feta, or veggie toppings like mushroom, spinach, jalapeño, and basil.
Burgers, Sandwiches & Salads
If pizza isn't what you're craving, Clarkes burger, sandwich, and salad lineup covers just about everything else. Every burger starts with a quarter-pound beef patty on a sesame seed bun, topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and mayo, and served with your choice of side.
Popular burgers include:
Cowboy Burger — BBQ sauce, bacon, Tillamook cheddar, topped with a fried onion ring
Black & Blue — bacon and blue cheese crumbles
Bacon Guac Burger — bacon, guacamole, pepper jack cheese
Patty Melt — grilled onion, Swiss cheese, 1000 Island on marbled rye
On the sandwich side, standouts include the French Dip (roast beef and Swiss on a hoagie roll with au jus, or try it "Philly Style"), the Reuben (pastrami, Swiss, 1000 Island, and kraut on marbled rye), and the Club (turkey, bacon, ham, lettuce, tomato, and Tillamook cheddar).
For something lighter, Clarkes salads include the Cobb Salad (ham, chicken, tomato, avocado, red onion, bacon, and blue cheese crumbles), the Taco Salad (taco beef, olives, tomato, avocado, colby jack, tortilla strips, and house-made spicy ranch), and a classic Caesar Salad.
Beer, Drinks & What's Next for the Bar
Clarkes serves beer on tap, along with bottles, cans, and other drinks — the kind of relaxed, no-frills bar you'd want after a day in the woods. Right now, Clarkes doesn't carry hard liquor, but that's changing: Clarkes is in the process of converting to a full-scale bar, so stay tuned for updates. As always, valid ID is required for all alcohol purchases.
More Than a Restaurant — The General Store Side
What truly sets Clarkes apart from a typical restaurant or bar is that it never stopped being a general store. This is a one-stop shop for people who live out in the woods and don't want to make the drive into town for basic essentials. Need milk, snacks, or a phone charger cable? Forgot ice for the cooler? Out of toilet paper at the cabin? Clarkes has you covered — often in the same visit where you're also grabbing a burger and a beer.
Why Clarke's Is the Best Backwoods Restaurant in Beaver Creek
There aren't many places left that combine a full-service restaurant, a working bar, and a genuine general store under one historic roof — especially not ones that have been doing it since 1925. That combination is exactly what makes Clarkes the best backwoods restaurant in the Beaver Creek area: it's not trying to be a big-city restaurant transplanted into the woods. It's a true neighborhood institution, built around the actual needs of the people who live here — quick supply runs, a hot meal after work, a cold beer on a Friday night, or a place to bring the family for pizza on a Sunday.
For nearly 100 years, that formula hasn't changed. Clarkes has simply kept showing up for Beaver Creek, one meal, one grocery run, and one cold beer at a time.
