"Classic diner grub and aesthetics get a chic, social media-era upgrade at Clyde’s. With local ingredients and creative riffs on crowd-pleasing comfort foods (fried Brussels sprouts tossed with Caesar salad dressing and bread crumbs), the results at chef-owner Chris Hoffmann’s diner are far beyond “fine,” earning Hoffmann a semifinalist nod from the James Beard Foundation for Best Chef: Midwest in 2024. Whether you opt for the double smash burger with fries or the seared salmon served over cauliflower puree, zucchini frites, and salsa macha, be sure to save room for the soft serve flavors of the moment." - Karla Walsh
