Clyde's of Gallery Place

This review reflects my experience dining out with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that requires me to maintain a diet free of gluten (including cross contact).SERVICE: 4/5 starsDRINKS: 5/5 starsFOOD: 5/5 starsAMBIANCE: 3/5 starsVALUE: 3/5 starsOVERALL RATING: 4.5/5 stars (round up for Yelp rating)Friends and I dined at the Gallery Place location of Clyde's over the weekend. We made a reservation for six online; upon arrival, our party was seated at a booth in the center of the dining area on the second floor. The host seated us when a majority of us were present; we did not have to wait for the full group to be on site.Our servers were excellent (one of whom was in training); both demonstrated a deep facility of the menu and capably answered our questions. We began the evening with drinks; I ordered two Madras cocktails, both of which were well prepared (strong and containing an appropriate ratio of cranberry to orange juice).Following receipt of our first beverage, we ordered food. Clyde's menu is very large and contains a breadth of options for those dining gluten-free (with allergen markings documented on the all-day menu). I requested a Clyde's Classic Burger, prepared well done, on a gluten-free bun, adding bacon, and accom French fries (note that the gluten-free bun comes from Rise Bakery and adds $1.99 to the burger's cost). Before finalizing my selection, our servers confirmed the fries are cooked in a separate fryer. While my dish took about 10 minutes longer to arrive than others in my party, it arrived with a wooden allergen marker displayed prominently within the bun; all of the modifications I made to the burger were applied accurately. The burger was delicious, as were the fries. I nearly couldn't finish the full meal (but I didn't want to waste any of it!).When the check arrived, we had one member of our group pay (with others Venmoing her their portion of the total). No automatic gratuity or Initiative 82 fee was applied to our bill.I'll be back to Clyde's soon for another amazing gluten-free burger!

This Reuben had meaaaatttttt. Stacked. Our server mentioned that no one ever finishes a Reuben, and he would be correct. I had to take it home. I haven't had a Reuben in a long time, so I'm not super confident in my preference, but I do think it was a bit dry. But I'm conflicted because this is the amount of meat I want in a sandwich. Maybe I just need to personally note for the future to always get extra sauce on the side.Also not pictured, but very, very good fries...I really like the location of Clyde's and the ambiance. This is my second time here, and the late hours make it super convenient. D.C. has an unspoken bedtime of 10pm.

Great spot central to the downtown tourism area and trains . Great for groups and comfy space.I ordered the fried catfish served freshly made collard greens and grits . The meal was amazing! The cornbread batter on the catfish was on point ! I also loved the draft beer I ordered , and Port City Optimal Wit . Lovely beer to complete any meal . Waiter couldn't have been nicer and accommodating. Great service from the start even from the hostess .

Came here after seeing a show at Regal and easily grabbed a seat at the bar.We were immediately taken care of. I've never had a bad meal here though I prob wouldn't order the Cubano again - they give you a ton of pork and ham but it ended up being a bit soggy and hard to eat. Good flavoring, just not my favorite. The space is cool--it's massive with lots of wood paneling and artwork. Nicely decorated for the holidays too! As to be expected, it does get very crowded when there's a game at Capital One Arena.

The restaurant was huge, cleaned, moody; and dark! Night at Jalisco (drink) was smooth, light, not too strong however, if i had more than two it would have been a night at Clyde's! I ordered the Rainbow Trout which was debone, seasoned perfectly so were the green beans and cauliflower but I could have done without the white sauce, it was not hot, blaned, and a bit milly.

I enjoy Clyde's. You know what you are getting here and it's always solid. We can take the kids, which is also a bonus. We went here pre-theater recently. Our service was absolutely amazing and I think that's what thrilled me the most. Hosts were amazing too. And we liked the lively atmosphere.I got my standard Clyde's order--a grilled chicken sandwich with fries and it hit the spot. Others enjoyed their burgers. I'd maybe avoid this location during an event but otherwise I'm game to visit.

I don't even remember the last time at Clyde's, I've never thought it was that great, so decided to come with friends after a Caps game. The place gets packed, but we beat the crowd. Shared a few apps like spinach dip and wings; both were decent. For my entree, I chose the patty melt, and kinda disappointed. The bread was toasted too hard, so it was kinda hard to eat. I thought most patty melts are browned on a griddle, but this was just hard white toast. Subbed out the fries for brussel sprouts and they were really good. The flavor was incredible and easily the best part of the meal. Service was good and drinks refilled when asked. Probably other better places in the area, not sure I'd return.

My friends and I often go to the Capitol one arena to watch the NBA game. Clyde's is our go to place after the game. They have a huge space. You can reserve it or sit at the bar. They have a nice collection of food and drinks. We often get multiple order of wings, fries and pizza with beer or cocktails. It gets crowded on game days. If you have a large group I highly recommend calling them ahead and reserving a seat.

We were having some trouble finding a place to eat on a rainy night and luckily someone knew about Clyde's!
