  STOP for the love of all things Holy, people call this place DBAG's for a reason!
  
  Ok where to begin... first off the place looked like a dive bar which nothing against a dive bar I'm a huge fan. But in order to keep people coming back and not have them leave feeling sick and pissed you need to have a few things among them; good food, cold beer and service. This joint has nothing. I ordered the burger and for $8.50 it should be more than an ice cold bubba burger that you can purchase at any grocery story for 12 of them for $10.00. The beer was warm and I know the pipes were broken on the keg since the beer was flat and tasted skunky! AVOID this place for health concerns and general shittyness all around!

  Empty and Unfriendly.     I guess for a bad restaurant, these 2 words go together.   the Downtown Bar and Grille in Clermont  was both of these from my 2 experiences there....the first time, I walked in,  no one even acknowledged me, although there were only 2 or 3 customers in the place,  and I left and went over to the City Grille...  
  
  The second time,  after a quick bite, no one even thanked me for coming in, nor for the tip I left.....there will NOT be a 3rd time.
  
  Don't bother going here unless you enjoy dead silence while you eat or enjoy the company of bored and uninterested staff.

  This place is fine for karaoke, but don't consider eating here unless you're in to getting sick. I ordered a bowl of their chicken vegetable soup. It sounded so safe; how could anybody mess that up? Well, I was sadly mistaken! It tasted like the owner's wife had ladled water out of the toilet to make it. No seasoning had been used whatsoever, and I couldn't understand how even the chicken and vegetables didn't taste like what they were supposed to be. When we spoke to the owner's wife, she was incredibly hostile. She apparently doesn't have a clue that treating customers well and keeping them happy is essential to the success of a restaurant. She was so angry that we were sure she would throw us out. She claimed that she got nothing but compliments on the slop. The fact is that it was the most atrocious soup I'd ever tasted in my life, and after forcing a bite into my husband's mouth, he agreed with me 100%. My husband had the fish and chips and, even though the fish itself was surprisingly good, the taste was marred by the sweet, strange-tasting tartar sauce. Tartar sauce is NOT supposed to taste like dessert. The waiter, Kirby, was a sweet, attentive young man, and we found no fault with his service. Hopefully he has another job lined up for when this place goes under. When it first reopened under the new name, my husband and I spoke to the owner who seemed to have high standards and great expectations for the place. We were looking forward to the way he said it was going to be. I don't know if he's already given up on it or what, but I guess the plan is to let his wife run it into the ground. Bad cooking plus bad customer relations will get them nowhere. We will be back for karaoke, but we'll know better than to eat there again.

  If I could only give this place negative stars.
  
  The service was HORRENDOUS. Three servers working, it took over 15 minutes for the initial drink order to be taken, another 20 for it to be delivered. I know what you're thinking; "Probably bitching because it was so busy!" Nope. We were 4 out of the 7 patrons. Three servers. 3. III.
  
  I've had better quality food from a gas station. The house salad was quite literally lettuce & chopped onions. Burgers are frozen, pre-formed patties.
  
  Oh, the most insulting thing: They tried to sneak a well liquor while charging me premium prices. They freely admitted it when questioned.
  
  Seriously, fuck this place.
  
  Edit: It is apparent the someone has created multiple accounts in order to boost the ratings. Don't believe me? Awful lot of 5 star reviews from people with 1 or 2 other reviews, aren't there?
