Husband and I went on August 2, 2019. I've never been, but my husband had years ago. A lot of reviews hated the service but liked the food, so I was a bit skeptical but we went anyways. Service was fantastic. I wish I remembered our waitress' name; she was so friendly and knowledgeable. She was also really attentive so I have no issues with the service at all. There was a ruben and french fry special for $9.00 that night. My husband loves rubens, so he ordered that. He really liked it. I'm not a fan so I ordered the prime dip and fries. My sandwich wasn't very good at all. It was super bland. Even the au jus was bland. I've never had to salt & pepper sandwich meat before, and it didn't help. It was super melty and I love that. Plus the bread was soft and tasty. I ate the bread dipped in the au jus. Wasn't a bad place at all. We sat in the bar area and I think if/when we go back I'll ask to sit in there again. I just won't be ordering the dip! BTW the fries are amazing and they make their own ranch and it's sooooo good. Wish I could have that ranch all the time. read more

DINING IN (during pandemic) First time here, let's start with how great the service was. Our waitress Tanya was very attentive and friendly. (Did not wear a mask though) Food here was mediocre at best. A lot of pre made frozen food... Sadly the only "fresh" options was a very basic wedge salad. Menu must have changed because the photos of the food here on yelp are no longer an option.... VERY misleading when we were trying to decide on a place to eat this evening. read more

After moving to Sioux City, we kind of avoided this place because of the reviews, and some locals told us the food wasn't good and overpriced. Add to that we've never seen very many cars in the parking lot, and it wasn't on our short list to eat at. Until last night - when we wanted to try the new indian place by Walmart, but they were closed, so we decided to give Clyde's a try. I should note that a lot of yelp reviews are about the service, not the food. We got there on a Monday night around 5:30, and we were the only people in the dining room area, so service wasn't a problem - i thought :) I was impressed with the menu - lots of stuff I want to try! And this could be a problem with this market - local diners seem to prefer very traditional foods/flavors, and this stuff has a little (but not too much) flair. I ordered the Korean BBQ Flatbread pizza and my husband ordered the Steakhouse Burger (burger patty AND prime rib! Right up his alley). Monday is mexican night there, so they brought out a tray of chips and salsa. Chips were room temp and slightly stale, but the salsa was pretty good - nice and smoky and perfect amount of heat. The steakhouse burger was HUGE. As in, my very hungry, very German husband didn't finish the burger OR the fries. He really liked it. When she gave me my pizza, my first impression was that it was really big and i was going to be taking a LOT home. But it looked amazing (I posted a pic to my check in) - lots of chicken, cheese, onion straws and really good bbq/onion base. It tasted great, too. I took quite a bit home, and while reheating some for lunch today, I was wondering what exactly made this pizza "korean"...and it hit me, that they didn't give me what i ordered. This was the BBQ Chicken pizza - bacon, bbq chicken, onion straws. The Korean BBQ Pizza is supposed to be beef, among other things. So, i will definitely go back, because i want to try the korean BBQ pizza next time :) But I think a fair review is that the food is really good (and priced appropriately - think applebees or red robin, which the locals seem to love, but Clyde's food is better), but don't expect the best service. And maybe pay more attention to the food they bring you than I did LOL read more

Clyde's Grill & Pub - Korean BBQ pizza. SOOO yummy! ETA: actually a BBQ Chicken pizza. Read my review for more info. - Steakhouses Near Me - Sioux City, Iowa

Clydes, is a great place the service is great and very friendly and a very great atmosphere. My food is always great I got the Steak House Burger and my wife had the Prime Rid sandwich and I have to say it was great. One of the best places in Sioux City to eat. Our friends ordered the Prime Rid Dinners and next time I will be ordering that they where cooked to perfection. Now on to the drink selections, Clyde's offers over 15 beers and what's best about that is they have my favorite beer on tap Shiner Bock clydes also offers many different wines and has mixed drink menu. Now the desert we had the chocolate chip cookie that was huge and freshly cooked with ice cream and we also got a piece of cheese cake that fantastic. Clyde's has a fabulous Menu with many different options. read more

See all

My group showed up for a late lunch with limited time today....we mentioned our dilemma and they came through in a big way. Thanks for the quick service, and great food. I'll mention what we had: Pasta Carbonara (two of us) Stellar, but rich Lasagna soup (different and tasty....only added pepper to make perfect) Kids chicken strips and fries (chicken great, fries awesome) Three wedge salads...(very fresh/good) Potato skin appetizer...(very tasty with right amount of cheese and bacon, etc.) This place is a gem, and we will frequent much more often. Thumbs way up!!!! read more

The food was pretty good, the menu has been paired back considerably since last time we were here. In my opinion they may have shortened it up too much. The beer was cold and they've got a good selection. My biggest gripe was with the pushy service. My wife, 2yo daughter and I didn't even have our coats off and the waiter was at our table to take drink orders, came back four or five times in a matter of minutes for our food order, and before we were even halfway done with our meals we were asked if we "needed boxes or what?" All of this would have been understandable on a busy night in order to achieve table turn around, but there were several open tables (a few in our section) the whole time we were there. We weren't even in the restaurant for an hour by the time we paid and were ready to leave. So, again, pushy service on a not busy night... nearly derailed the experience for me... read more

I feel like this is a hidden gem in the area that doesn't get enough attention. My family and I have gone here a few times now (most recently this past weekend) and we have been impressed every time. All of the food we have tried has been great and the wait staff has always been more than helpful. read more

Thought this was a very average place. Had a lot of wait staff and not a lot of patrons. I got the prime rib sandwich and is was ok at best. Probably won't come back anytime soon. read more

Stopped by for a dinner when the minor league baseball wasn't in town. There were only 2 other groups in the restaurant, so it seemed to be very good customer service The food....not so sure: Cheese Balls - I guess that is what Iowa calls what is otherwise known as cheese curds. This version has a heavy breading and they were over cooked. About half of the balls had the cheese that had boiled out of the balls, so just hard, empty balls of breading Chili cheeseburger - open faced, with a dry version of chili across the top of the patties. It was a heavy on the bean chili, and I would not have guessed it was chili Garlic fries - very tasty, and very crispy, but also empty inside the fry? I think they are using that same style that a national chain went to a couple of years ago, where the manufacturer extrudes tubes of processed potato - it does keep them crisp Taco Salad - the beef on top of the salad was off, the taste and the texture just wasn't right. They did take it back, and took the salad off the bill - so that is part of what makes me comment that the service was good for our visit Last comment, all of the entrees are over $10, but they all seemed to be a fairly healthy serving, so it did seem that you are getting a decent value read more

Hmmm...I think we will try it again. The service was great; fast and polite. The atmosphere - nonexistant. The salad was really good and the main course was not so good. Everything was homemade but we had the chicken marsala and it was super sweet. I have never had sweet marsala and I really didn't like it. Yet, I felt potential and will probably five it another chance. read more

Went to Sioux City with a colleague on business and asked for a local place to eat. Was informed to try Clyde's as they had good food. The service was okay, nothing special. Our waitress really wasn't knowledgeable on the menu or drinks. Was not sure what kind of draft or cider beer they had. I ordered the herb crusted prime rib, bacon wrapped asparagus and fries. Also ordered the wedge salad. The prime rib was not herb crusted (it had no crust) and was mediocre at best. The asparagus was just greasy and bla, french fries are french fries and the wedge salad with blue cheese was a quarter lettuce, some bacon bits, couple of cherry tomato half's and a bland blue cheese dressing (more dressing then blue cheese). My colleague had the Ahi Tuna medium rare. I am not even going to waste my time on that review. But then again, tuna in the middle of the country, maybe that was our mistake! The only bright spot was the bartender. She was funny and really tried to look after us. I wish I had ordered the bread pudding!!! read more

I just ate their yesterday and had the "Werks Burger" where you get to select 5 add-ons for your burger. The burger I built with my selections was very tasty, and it came with my preference of different flavored fries too. I chose the Cajun Fries, and they just had a wee touch of heat. They were very good tasting, and the heat did not over power me. The atmosphere is bright enough to read the menu without difficulty, and roomy enough to not feel all boxed in by other seated patrons. The wait staff were very congenial, and helpful; and really set me at ease! I highly recommend you try them out. Their sliders are very good too! They have a nice menu with assorted fare to choose from, and I can promise you I'm going back there again, the next time I'm in sioux City! read more

Not sure why everyone is hating on this place... I've had a wonderful experience everytime i've been here. The service is always good and the food is amazing. I have dreams about the Prime Rip dip and their burgers. Burgers can be BYO and I recommend that and it's freshly cooked to your liking. Their chipotle and garlic aoli's are out of this world. I LOVE that they season their fries to your preference too, garlic fries... yes please! As far as pasta, your crazy if you don't order the Jambalaya pasta. it has chicken, shrimp, sausage, maybe some steak with peppers, onions, fettucini noodles and the most incredible sauce ever. Haven't ordered something here I didn't like. We always get their Onion rings (as big as donuts) and their pan chocolate chip cookie is flat out orgasmic. It's a full bar with alot of beer choices on tap. Tried their sangria and it was amazing, food is a bit pricey but well worth it. No more pricier than similar restaurants in the Omaha or Des Moines area. Sioux City people are so stingy and cheap, it's kind of sad. Clydes is attached to the bowling alley and then you can walk out the door to the outdoor bar (Bottoms Up) and sand volley ball. It's a fun complex for the family, go mini golfing, go karting, or bowling with the kids and then have a nice dinner. PS Sunday Brunch is BOMB read more

Big negative here as well. I walked in on a Saturday night around 6:45 and the place was a third to half full. Was seated and given menus and after 10 minutes, no one came by to take our order or offer us beverages. During this 10 minute period, I looked around and noticed several servers standing around joking with one another and not looking after their tables. Needless to say, my group and I got up and left. Obviously this place is definitely mis managed. read more

Best burgers in Sioux City! Great quality meat, you can get it medium if you want, juicy and delicious! Good selection of specialty burgers or you can customize with thick bacon, grilled onions, even a fried egg. Great happy hour during the week, half price appetizers and they have like 12 appetizers, wife and I have made a meal just out of apps, cool "street" tacos with avocado or burger sliders are great choices. Wedge salad with blue cheese and bacon is a winner too. read more

I thought the food was excellent, had the french dip. The service left something to be desired. It wasn't that busy but the wait was long.

My wife and I have enjoyed Clyde's quite often the past few years. However, on our latest visit we discovered that they have changed their menu to exclude their more sophisticated dishes that we liked. They have been replaced with the typical burgers, pizza, and deep fried items you can find at so many other bar and grill places. We also waited over an hour for what should have been a quick order. We were quite disappointed that they have downgraded the menu to such generic items. If you are looking for standard sports bar fare it's still "OK". However, there are better places in town that already offer that kind of food. It's too bad they abandoned some great dishes for typical bar food...IMHO. read more

Great food! Great wait staff even though they were short handed the day we were there. They let us know that as soon as we entered but still got our food out in a timely manner. read more

Clyde's has a big floor plan, plenty of seats, a huge/varied menu and big TVs. So in theory it should be a great sports bar to watch the game or hang out. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. The problem with Clyde's is inconsistency. I honestly have been there numerous times this fall, looking to watch a particular sporting event and not wanting to fight the crowds at BWW. One Saturday evening I ordered prime rib and it was just the best I have had in a long time. Two weeks later, on a Sunday, I get their prime rib sandwich, and receive a huge plate piled with fat and gristle on a bun. It was actively disgusting. I give Clyde's a huge positive because it is clear that they try to make a lot of food from scratch and they have some consistent successes. Their onion rings are great (if you are into the giant, breaded type of onion rings) as is their cheesy shrimp dip with pita chips. But I wonder if their menu is just too big. It must be hard for the kitchen - of a sports bar in Sioux City - to juggle all those dishes. The net result is one day I get a burger or Korean pizza and love them, and then the next week I order wings and they come out about five degrees above completely raw. The service is also inconsistent. Three weeks ago I watched a game on Sunday, and my server was just lovely. Helpful, responsive, and kept close watch on my table for three hours. The next weekend, the exact opposite. I walked in at three o'clock. There was one group of about eight guys watching a particular game. Otherwise the restaurant area was empty. I asked if one of the TV's could be turned to the game I wanted. It took about fifteen minutes for that to happen. Another fan, who I did not know, asked for the table next to mine to watch the same game. (Now there were a total of ten people in the dinning room.) Fifteen minutes later they changed all the games on the TV - for no apparent reason - and we had switch tables. A few minutes later they did the same thing again. The fellow fan, who I did not know, got so frustrated that he asked the waitress, who totally blew him off. The waitress then left the floor and did not return for over twenty minutes. (I kept track because I was waiting to order some food.) When she finally turned back up there was no apology or acknowledgement that she had disappeared for as long as many customers stay in a restaurant. Overall, I have had visits to Clyde's which alone would rate a five star review. But, I have also had visits, such as that last Sunday visit, which would rate a one star review. Averaged out, I am giving Clyde's a three star review, rounding up because it is clear the kitchen tries to make the food in-house. read more

For real the best open faced hot beef sandwich on the planet!!!Also, the rest of my guests food was off the chart fresh and amazing! It was a quiet sunday night, our server was super attentive.We will be back! read more

Good dinning experience. The portions we large. Price was not bad for the punt of food provided.

My husband and I are from Sioux Falls, SD, and we have loved to go to Clyde's when passing through Sioux City or visiting family in town. They used to have great salads, and you could make any salad into a wrap. All I wanted was to go to Clyde's for my birthday for a wrap and fries (I'm a vegetarian), so we came down for dinner and a movie and left the kids with our parents. Their online menu is pared down from their original menu, but their current menu is even more limited than that. After some consideration, we finally decided on fried pickles and cheese pizza. The fried pickles were fine, but the pizza was horrible. The crust was over-proofed and bitter, the sauce was spicy but otherwise tasteless. I dipped it in salt so I could eat it. There was nothing else on the menu that we wanted, so we didn't want to send the pizza back, plus we were trying to get to the movie on time. There wasn't really any solution besides eating somewhere else, so we settled the check and got out of there. We were able to grab a salad at a restaurant downtown before the movie. I never give one star reviews. Dang! So disappointed in Clyde's! read more

The staff was friendly, fun and made me feel welcome. This is a change from some of the pubs and restaurants that I'm used to now in Chicago. I had fun here and if the opportunity presents itself I'll return. read more

I really had high hopes for Clyde's. I will definitely try it again sometime soon, but my experience wasn't great. The service is very kind, quick, and knowledgeable. The menu offerings look fantastic, and offer some unique items. I love to try new stuff, so I was excited. We were very disappointed when eating though. Our prime rib tasted very bland, and tasted like it was boiled in water. The mashed potatoes were a sticky consistency with a sweet, whipped cream flavor. The bacon wrapped asparagus was something different, and very good! We also loved their wedge salads before the entree... their homemade dressings are yummy!

The food here is wonderful. I have never ordered anything I didn't enjoy. The chicken Cubano is one of my favorites. My family decided to go for Mother's Day this year and the brunch was phenomenal! They are very family friendly and they have clean restrooms (which is always important). read more

Someone dropped the ball. We've eaten here many times and never had an experience like we did Friday, July 24, 2015. We arrived about 6:20 p.m. My son and I ordered the herb roasted chicken, which I had had before and enjoyed. My husband ordered the gyro burger. It was about 7:05 p.m. by the time our food arrived. My husband's burger was dry without much gyro sauce. My son and I enjoyed our chicken--it was as good as I remembered. I don't know why we had such a long wait, they certainly weren't busy. We will think twice before returning. read more

I went to Clyde's for lunch one Friday. It was totally dead yet our waitress was nowhere to be found. We waited and waited for our waitress to come to take our drink order and then waited some more for her to bring us our pops. I ordered the hot beef and my husband ordered the bbq burger. When my food arrived, it was a giant gray blob on the plate with some potatoes sticking out. The beef and gravy tasted worse than it looked---which I didn't think was possible. The potatoes were LOADED with pepper and had a strange consistency. My husband's burger was burnt and the fries were disgusting. Our waitress never checked on us to refill our drinks or ask how the food was. We had to resort to moving our plates to the other side of the table in hopes of her getting the hint. My meal had barely been touched but she never commented on it. We finally got our bill but she took her time coming back to get our card. I will never go back here nor will I recommend it to anyone else. read more
