We visited for lunch and were seated promptly. The weather was perfect, so we chose a table outside on the beautifully decorated pavilion -- the roof kept the windy day from disrupting the decorations. Whether inside or out, there are many attractive seating options across the large property and multiple dining rooms, each with its own charm. The event chairs were comfortable, and the outdoor pavilion felt welcoming. A huge thank you to our waiter -- he did an excellent job taking care of us. The place was fairly busy, so I'm glad we had a reservation. Overall: lovely setting, attentive service, and a pleasant outdoor experience despite the breeze. read more

After wine tasting in Leesburg, we arrived here for lunch. Parking is available in their private parking lot. The restaurant is large and the decor is unbelievably decorated throughout, but the carriage room is definitely my favorite dining room. Our friendly and knowledgeable waiter returned with our beverage order and I placed my order for a Walter's favorite sandwich. For my side I selected the ceasars salad. The pastrami was lean and served with slaw in the sammie, muenster, thousand island and served on marble rye. It was a delicious sammie. The menu here at Clydes is large and diverse - one of their standouts is the lump crab sammie which is all crab, no filler and is delicious. I recommend Clydes Willow Creek Farm and would return here. read more

We live near this Clyde's but don't frequent it as much as the other similar places near our home. On a late afternoon, we decided to lunch here and coincidentally we had a nice heat gift card. Staff were super friendly, from seating(host) to service. I wish I knew the name of our fabulous server: so attentive and patient. Food and beverages(cocktails) were yummy. The $15 price point for their cocktails were a good value considering the size of the drinks. We opted for burgers and sandwiches. The pastrami on rye was one of the best I've had in a long time. I liked the coleslaw that was added as part of the sandwich but it did make the bread a bit soggy, no worries because I I haled the whole sandwich. I like how they offer a choice of salads or fries. The mini Caesar was such a treat: tasty for a mini. This location stands alone and has ample parking. I do love the small rooms for private seating. Last year we attended a wedding here: outdoor ceremony and inside reception in their back event space. This location is spot on for those memorable meals and events. read more

My fiancé and I ate lunch here yesterday as we are scoping out potential venues for our rehearsal dinner. It's very large restaurant with ample parking. When we walked in, I would say the front hostesses gave us a lukewarm greeting, but the lady that led us to our table was very pleasant. I'm not sure which room we were seated in, but you can tell there's a lot of history here. We both decided on salads. I got the maple glazed salmon salad with mixed greens, feta, and grapes while my fiancé got the grilled chicken salad with farro. We both loved our salad and we did receive complimentary bread with our order. The bread was soft and freshly baked with the butter melting right on it. Overall, decent meal and a viable choice for us to consider. read more

Another great meal at Clyde's Willow Creek. We particularly like the crab cakes and salads. Service is always very good. The only negative is they started charging extra for a little dish of cocktail sauce. This is a very poor policy, particularly if the server does not inform when you ask for the extra sauce. The facility is beautiful, particularly when is is decorated for the Christmas season. They have several different dining rooms and bars, so it is nice to experience a different room for each visit. We are looking forward to going back when the high school choirs sing Christmas carols. read more

Food, service, atmosphere are excellent. Started our lunch with their cream of crab soup and their onion rings appetizers. No notes. The cream of crab was loaded with bits of crab, making it nice and lumpy. The soup had a sublime buttery lemon flavor. For mains, I had the cheeseburger sliders with a side of their mushroom gratin. The sliders were great and the mini buns were perfectly topped with salt flakes. I do have a note about the mushroom gratin. Make that into an appetizer-a take on cream of mushroom soup. That gratin was amazing. My husband had the crab cake. Delicious in taste. It was an absolute treat all around. Ladies bathroom was very clean. read more

We came in for lunch and were quickly seated. The weather was perfect, so we got a table outside. Inside or out, you have a lot of seating options, every one of them looks good. A huge thank you to our waiter Liam, he did an awesome job taking care of us. We put our food order in and it wasn't long until the meals arrived. I had a mushroom swiss burger and it was fantastic! Juicy and well seasoned! The bun was soft and fresh and the fries were cooked to a beautiful golden brown. It was really nice that Liam never rushed us, so we were able to have a great long lunch and enjoy the conversation in such a beautiful place! Great location, great food, great service! read more

We attended a wedding and wedding luncheon at this Clyde's location. My friend and his future wife planned an outdoor and indoor event. The outdoor pavilion was decorated very nice. The event chairs were comfortable. It was a nice day just a bit windy but the pavilion roof prevented the winds from ruining the decorations. Food and bar service for the reception was exceptional. The staff was attentive. The food(half roasted chicken was my selection) was very good and served hot. The whole reception was executed very well. read more

I came here on a Saturday evening in December. I am glad we booked a reservation since it was pretty busy. The restaurant is on a large property with multiple dining rooms, each with its own charm. The Christmas decorations were stunning. We started our meal with the cream of crab soup and it may be the best I've ever had! I then ordered the scallops for my entree and it was cooked perfectly. The farro paired very nicely with the scallops. I also liked that it came with mushrooms! The staff were friendly and food came at a decent time. I am excited to try more menu items and experience the other dining rooms next time! read more

My family is a long standing relationship with the Clyde's group in the DC area. Every restaurant in the group has exceptional quality. Willow Creek lives up to that integrity. It was Easter and they started us off with absolutely delicious Hot Cross Buns. The bakers in the Clyde's restaurants are known for their in-house baked goods. My sister had the standard Parmigiana Flounder. Always good. I had the Bacon cheeseburger with Blue Cheese perfectly medium. For dessert we split the Crème B. with lavender notes. Elegant and perfect. read more

Clyde's Willow Creek Farm is a gem. The vibe is historic and rustic, yet classy, and the place is huge - with many different indoor and outdoor dining areas. One of my favorite places to visit whenever I am in Loudoun County. My family enjoys dinners at Clyde's while sitting at a round wood table in a lovely, cozy wood paneled private room. I enjoyed the crab cakes and salted beet salad at my latest visit. Service was great. Everyone in my family loved the chocolate truffle cake. The only disappointment was that the patio was closed on our last visit as the hostess explained the weather was too cold, so I look forward to going back again when it's warmer to enjoy the beautiful large patio. read more

Clyde's Willow Creek Farm is pleasantly decorated in a horse and carriage theme. They have wonderful service with cheerful staff willing to recommend and provide ideas. The food, however, is just ok. I did not take pictures of everything we had, but rather of the items I liked. The French onion soup is pretty classic, I would have liked the onions to be a bit more caramelized. I also tried their chili which for some odd reason is on the sweet side and disappointing. Crab cakes were served with fries and coleslaw, which is fine, but the dish lacked any imagination or platting in a way that would allow it to be enticing to the view. Their cocktails were tasty, I had the cool hand luke, but it was very water down. If I could provide 3.5 stars, I would, however, I don't think it merited 4 stars. read more

After years of dining at Clyde's, we had our first negative experience. Our waiter seemed very aloof, but then he made a snide comment to my sister that really angered her. Overall, the service was marginal. We haven't experienced that before after many dinners at Clyde's, including after hosting my son's wedding rehearsal dinner there, after a lunch following my Mom's funeral, and after celebrating my 60th birthday. This time, the menu seemed less appealing than usual. The food was nevertheless pretty good. We'll be back, but the waiter's conduct left a bad taste in our mouths. read more

I finally made my way out to Clyde's Willow Creek, and it lived up to the hype. The restored farmhouse building felt so Virginia. I kinda felt like I was transported to Williamsburg or a historic Virginia town from the looks of this restaurant. The room we were seated in felt so cozy and elegant, and they even had the fireplace going. They don't have a dress code but I would definitely lean towards dressing up a bit at least. For dinner, I had the lamb stew which was really flavorful and the lamb was cooked very well. The mashed potatoes on top were buttery and nicely whipped. For dessert, I had the turtle cheesecake. I really enjoyed it but I wished the cheesecake itself had some turtle elements instead of it all being on top. read more

I booked this restaurant for two to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We went in July and the weather was lovely. The outdoor seating area is truly very impressive. The only complaint I would possibly have mosquitoes and that is completely out of their control so certainly plan to bring your bug spray if you have exposed skin in the summertime while you are dining here. It occurred to me that a restaurant with the name Clydes may belong to the Clydes conglomerate of restaurants. It certainly did not occur to me upon booking, but upon walking in the decor and styling is very similar. The menu at this location is more elevated than your standard Clydes in my opinion. I've been quite a few to include the one in Alexandria, which is also a little more upscale. One of the highlights of our meal included the jumbo lump king crab salad! The portion was very nice and the lumps were absolutely generous. my best friend and I really enjoyed our meal here and would highly recommended for any kind of special event! The fountain was absolutely stunning in the location is extremely well-maintained. Plenty of parking, but it does in fact fill up fast. The service was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and did all possible to ensure our celebration was a success! Thanks Clyde's! read more

I've been updated on the broken glass concerns. Clyde's management informed me they spoke with "Bartenders and Front Waiters about paying attention to ANYTHING we are putting in front of our guests. The Leaders in the Corporate office have also been made aware of this issue and they are looking into new glassware." I look forward to visiting again once the new glassware is in service. read more

Doing an updated review 9 -- wow, really? -- years later since my most recent one. I've been here many times since, probably 2-3x a year. Unfortunately, it's always very hit or miss. The food IS delicious, but there's always something off about every visit. The setting and vibe can't be beat, and the food is tasty -- good steak, amazing crab cakes, great fries, and wonderful shrimp pasta and salad on my most recent visit. Here's my issues though: - The server was WAY too chatty which made it awkward, he went on and on about how he was doing us a favor with all his recommendations and he wasn't even supposed to be serving because he usually does the bar and cigar lounge but he was stuck there for a wedding; his chattiness plus just absenteeism from the room meant he was very AWOL during our visit and barely came around so we had to wait a long time to order more food when we wanted it; we ended up skipping dessert and going elsewhere because we just didn't want to wait on him. - The dining room was SUPER COLD. We had to put our coats on to eat. - The soft drinks were FLAT. - The tinier and tinier portion sizes for the increased prices are just getting ridiculous. Food has amazing taste and quality, but everything is experiencing shrinkflation and inflation at the same time. - The table was STICKY. Like I had to pull hard on my glass and napkin to get them off the table. And the booth had crumbs all over it when we were seated. read more

Don't come that often as we are not from ashburn. We were in the area and thought yes! Clyde's! Zachary the tender suggested this when I said I was leaning towards the Reuben. Zachary said, get the Walters Favorite! Come back and get the Reuben on St.. Patricks day for a discount! Also gave us free lunch cards! After eating there (at lunch at the bar) 5 times the 6th entree is free! The Walter's Favorite (walter being one of their first waiters) is a pastrami with coleslaw on pumpernickel. OMG!!! So good. Had a choice of fries, sweet tater fries or tater tots? Tots it is! Whoopsie, out of those. Fries were very good tho. Now if you are looking for dark woods, lots of windows and light; you're at the right place. We usually sit at the bar. The wood bar does have the "lip" on it so be careful. Can't wait to go back and get my card checked!! Thx ZACHARY!!!! read more

I had high hopes. SMH. I've been to the other Clyde's in the area and this is so disappointing. Appetizer: I have a pic of the calamari. It was cooked well but too much goo on it and it was soggy. That was the last thing that came out in decent timing. Even our waiter said he wondered why our entrees took so long. Entrees: My husband's trout was good but was supposed to have the hollandaise on the side. It was poured all over the top. Heavy. My halibut was ok. But too much sauce. But I get it. It was dry. Dessert: we ordered the strawberry shortcake. I'm still waiting on it. Which was the last straw. And I had to give a negative review. They just tried to serve us a cheesecake. Not the strawberry shortcake. Done. Should be closer to a fine dinning experiment. Not even close. read more

Clyde's Willow Creek Farm - Calamari appetizer - New American Near Me - Broadlands, Virginia

I have been going to this restaurant since it first opened and while the food is consistently good, the service has always been a problem. It is slow, inattentive, and without any commitment to customer experience. Last night was the absolute worst. At 8:45 with the restaurant 10% full, it took us 15 minutes to get seated, another 20 minutes to get a drink, and another 30 minutes to get our food. We were not offered bread until right before the food came even though people were clearly starving and our waitress was nowhere to be found throughout the whole experience. She never apologized for the slow service and then was completely confused by our attempt to pay with both credit cards and cash. It took 15 minutes to resolve the situation. I really don't think I'm coming back to this place until they decide to improve their service. read more

This is a beautiful location. Food and service were great, decor was beautiful. I'll be back!

Lovely restaurant that is in an 1800s house (with newer additions). The decor is welcoming and the dark wood gives a warmth but not a dark or dingy vibe. Food was really good. I got the steak salad and everyone else enjoyed their meals. Waiter and host were excellent. Check out the buggies hanging from the ceiling in the bar area. read more

Our team's Christmas Dinner this year, as our last 2024 get-together, wandered to Clydes. 1. They have Alligash - a brewery out of Portland, ME, and one of my favorites! 2. The appetizers were perfect 3. The meals were perfectly prepared and amazing. Clydes (several locations in the DC area) is a dining experience. This was my first time at the Willow Creek location, and I have to say it was well worth the trip to NVa! I mean the beer alone was worth a star. I won't even complain about their insanse parking lot! read more

Sunday brunch was crowded - 40 minute wait - but fortunately we had reservations and were seated immediately. Ambiance was well above average. Server was fine but probably had a few too many tables.

Currently waiting for a reservation that was supposed to be seated 20 mins ago. Restaurants need to not allow reservations for tables they don't have or they need to turn tables faster. Update: Food was very bland for the super expensive pricing. Would rather go to coopers hark. Was seated 40 mins after my reservation was supposed to be. Not sure what the point of a reservation is if I'm seated later than just normal walk ins. read more

So we eat at this restaurant at least once a month. Last time was New Year's Eve and it was fantastic. This time not so much. We ordered two salads and an appetizer and the first thing that came out was my girlfriend's main dish. They forgot to put in for the salads and the appetizers. They have to take the main dish back to the kitchen and eventually bring the appetizers out. Then they brought both of our main dishes out eventually and mine was supposed to be filet mignon with colossal shrimp, and quite honestly the shrimp were medium at best. The fillet was very good, tender and tasty, but the shrimp were really subpar at best. Then there CO2 for the soda was not working so I could not get the Diet Coke that I wanted. Overall, it was not up to Clyde's standards. read more

I've been going to Clyde's in Georgetown, Reston (closed), Tysons (closed) and Willow Creek, as well as Old Ebbitt Grill, Fitzgeralds and the Tombs for decades (since the 80's). I even bought Clyde's Chilli from Britches of Georgetown back in the 80's, when it was sold in cans. Full disclosure, I've only been going to Clyde's at Willow Creek for the last decade. I have always enjoyed the food, service and especially the atmosphere at all their venues, which are some of the very best (especially Willow Creek). During COVID I ordered carry-out regularly from Willow Creek and like many restaurants (in my opinion), I started to see a decline in the quality of food and service. Even after COVID was over and we returned to Willow Creek, the food and service was not up-to-par, and within the last year, I have limited my visits and when visiting, I have had to ask for refunds due to poor food quality (I could have complained about the service as well, but I haven't, because I blame the poor service on management for not properly training staff). It got to the point where I decided not to patronize Clydes. However, since nearly ever previous year we ordered wings and chilli for the super bowl, I decided to give them one last chance this year. I was sorely disappointed. This year, rather than complain and ask for my money back, I'm writing this review. The chilli serving container was much smaller than previous years, but worse yet, they didn't even fill the container. The chicken wings had to be day old, if not days old. They were so dried out there was barely any meat. Think of Christmas Vacation turkey scene. The service upon arriving is absolutely horrible. The "kids" they hire know nothing about how to greet or communicate with customers, and clearly customers are a secondary priority to organizing and stapling receipts to carry-out bags. For me, this is the end for eating (including carry out) at Clydes Willow Creek. As I said it is a beautiful venue and the patio is amazing, especially in the Spring and Fall. They have a great bar (actually 3 bars) and if you want to order a beer or wine and meet friends it is a great place. I can't recommended cocktails and watch your bartender, because among many things that I've witnessed, I've seen them eating behind the bar while serving and actually seen food drop into the drinks. If you want a similar experience with outstanding food, service and venue, try the Great American Restaurant group. read more

Service was good. Vibe was top notch. I had a business dinner tonight and enjoyed everything. We were seated in one of several semi private rooms, which was great since we were a lively bunch. The server was super helpful with suggestions for shareables and specials. Our appetizers came out quickly and entrees perfectly timed. I had shrimp cocktail, which came with 3 jumbo shrimp, and shared zucchini chips, which were large, lightly battered and baked thick Slice zucchini with a delicious sauce. The deviled eggs were unique, with a dollop of guac, jalepeno slice and fried jalepeno topper. Not my favorite, but still good. I had the steak salad, minus bacon, subbing in the white balsamic dressing vs bleu cheese dressing. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. Portion size was just right. Drink refills were a little slow and non existent towards the end, but we had a large group and the overall service was really good. read more

Went last night for thanksgiving as we have done for over a decade. Won't come back. The experience was less than satisfying. We arrived well before our 4:30 reservation but was not seated until 5:15. And then they tried to out us at a table with leather arm chairs like those in a reading room. That put use about 6 inches below the table. They did move us after a bit more wait. Food was not as hot as it should have been. Dinner came out 25 minutes after we finished our appetizers. Funny because we we were waiting at the bar having a drink, the guy next to us got his food in 5 minutes. Pie was served before they cleared our dinner plates so the guy had to toss the dessert on the table haphazardly to pick up the dirty dishes. With drinks and tip, we spent $100 per person. Would have been fine if the service was as good as it had been in previous years. Glad to see they were busy but we are looking for a new location for next year BTW. We talked to a manager who had no interest in our experience read more

Fun venue, but for the price it's really kind of mediocre. They are accommodating, but the food runners who delivered our food were very inexperienced, our order was not right, but we ate it anyway. For instance, I substituted Brussel sprouts for fries, but got fries, and sprouts were delivered on the side. Husband ordered rare steak, I, medium rare--they were both medium rare. It was Sunday-night busy, and even with our reservation they had a little trouble seating us. Maybe they're starting to phone it in. read more

Decent food but for the price the service is t that great. Lots of high school food runners.
