Denny's Beer Barrel Pub



     After a great trip to the former town of Helvita PA, My friend Brian and I were looking to grab some food along the way back home. After plugging restaurants into my phone application the first one to pop up was Denny's Beer Barrel Pub. I instantly remembered reading about this restaurant online and was quick to suggest it. I began to tell Brian about the enormous burgers, challenges, and seemingly endless ways they prepare hamburgers. Like any American food loving guys we both instantly agreed to try these “legendary” burgers.

      The restaurant got its start in 1977 and soon became a local hit. To attract more consumers, the restaurant started to expand on their menu and offered giant burgers which are now the hallmark of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub. In the late 1990's the restaurant started to add 2 pound, 3 pound, 6 pound, and even a 15 pound “Beer Barrel Belly Buster” which claimed the Guinness world record for largest burger. Denny's has gained popularity in Pennsylvania and has been featured on a few TV Networks.

      The Pub is on the corner of Daisy St. in Clearfield PA. The first welcome as you arrive is a huge sign that couldn't be missed from the road in the shape of a burger. Once inside, the walls are covered with photos of attempts at the burger challenges. As we made our way into the Pub, we were greeted by staff and took our seat by the bar. Before we were able to talk about our most recent exploration, the bartender got our drink orders and provided menus. We received out food timely even-though the place was busy and had a wait at the door. The atmosphere was much like any little hometown pub with great food. We left full for a fair price and definitely wanted to come back with a group to tackle the 2lb-15lb huge hamburgers they have to offer.
