Really delicious - service was a little slow though. Had the cheeseburger, and I think it must have been a half pound of meat! It might have been the best burger I’ve ever had. Incredible GF bun that only got soggy because I ordered the caramelized onions with my burger. Walking around the area in the evening on the weekend was feeling sketchy until law enforcement officers took their posts, then it felt completely safe.

This place is fantastic. I am also dairy free and they easily accommodated. I had meatloaf with green beans and French fries. A ton of food for the price and more flavors than I’ve had most places.

So so good! This is a nice restaurant with several gf options. We started with the shrimp cocktail ( it only had 3 shrimp so probably not worth it) and the crab dip (awesome!) I had the shrimp and grits for my meal and creme brûlée for dessert. They also had gf meat loaf, steaks, and fish. They also have a nice kids menu (not gf) but for our family it was nice.

Ordered a gluten free bacon cheese burger with sautéed onions and fries. Confirmed fries were gluten free and in their own fryer, server took my order very seriously and didn't make me feel stupid. Hands down the best burger I've had since diagnosis 8 years ago, to the point it made me emotional. Like others have said, my food was prepared away from other gluten containing food and was brought out by a dedicated server to avoid any CHANCE of cross contact. I can't recommend Clyde's enough.

Best GF restaurant experience I’ve ever had! GF items marked on the menu, service staff asked about any allergies before I even said anything, he confirmed with the chef that they would avoid any cross contamination, and there were even separate food runners for my dish so it wouldn’t come in contact with anyone’s at my table. I had the meatloaf, and it was delicious!

Loved this restaurant! Our server (Aretha) was very knowledgeable about what was safe or not. When she wasn’t sure, she’s asked the chef. Chef Matt came out to make sure everything was delicious and it was! He even took my call prior to our visit to answer all my safety questions. It was a great experience!

Amazing food and definitely one of the safest meals I’ve eaten. The waitress introduced herself and then immediately asked if I had any food allergies. They take it seriously here and the allergy meal orders go through the two managers and the chef so it’s approved/modified to be gf. The gf buns are delicious and stay together. They can modify most entrees. Fries are fried separately so they are gf safe. The drinks are a little pricy but fun. Delicious food. I will be back next time I’m in the area.

I really appreciated the care they took in ensuring my meal was GF and safe. Delivered by a manager who told me it was prepared in a separate area. Limited marked options on menu but the steak was outstanding.

I've never had anything that isn't delicious at Clyde's. Plenty of GF adult beverages, buns for burgers and sandwiches, a menu with GF markers. You can also mention that it's an allergy and they'll make sure your food is safe. All around fantastic and great service as well!

Great service and great atmosphere. GF items clearly marked on the menu. Server asked questions about my requirements and made note of my celiac to notify the kitchen to avoid cross-contamination. Meal was brought out separately. No problems afterwards. Really enjoyed the food.

Several years ago, I would have said it was a little dicey eating safely here. But I’ve been very impressed with their care and attention to food allergy and intolerance. I’m glad I gave them another go because my last several meals have been both safe and outstanding.

ate here 3 times since going GF and first 2 times were fine. The last time I ordered from the gluten free menu, and made them aware of my allergy. I got sick that night and couldn't get out of bed for a few days. It's a shame because their food is pretty good. I believe it's one of the side dishes that made me sick

Got glutened here by getting gf burger with broccolini. Idk what went wrong but don’t come here if you’re celiac or really grill the waiter more than I did. Thought that the waiter seemed understanding but you never know and that was a reminder

I’ve heard from many folks that this restaurant chain handles allergies and celiac disease with caution. I ordered dinner and an appetizer from the main bar and the bartender wasn’t familiar with celiac disease. I then requested he mark the order as a Gluten Allergy and directly speak with the chef. He immediately came back and stated the chef understood celiac and would ensure no cross contamination with the meal. Agree with most folks that the menu is limited for GF options. However, the green chile shrimp tacos, filet, and garlic mashed potatoes were all delicious. The atmosphere and buildings are historical and beautiful.
