"Clyde’s, with its castle-like facade, is a steakhouse on Sandy for people who love ’60s charm. Step inside, let your eyes adjust, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by suits of armor, lava rock walls, and deep crimson banquettes glowing under elaborate chandeliers. You don’t even have to order steak here—the burger, once a lounge-only secret, is a classic: squishy bun, melty American cheese, and rings of onion and tomato stacked just right. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone with a rosy slab of prime rib or splitting an order of creamed spinach dip with friends, lean into the mood, enhanced by live jazz wafting from the lounge. Don’t forget the martinis." - Krista Garcia
"For a midcentury happy hour experience, it’s hard to beat the old-school lounge at Clyde’s Prime Rib. From 3 to 6 p.m., visitors snack on $9 prime rib French dips and $7 Louisiana-style hot wings. The full cocktail menu is $2 off during happy hour, including drinks like cold brew martinis and daiquiris. The buttermilk fried chicken sandwich is also a banger, which comes with fries for $9." - Dianne de Guzman
"Clyde’s Prime Rib is some Old Portland realness: The castle-like exterior is reminiscent of a miniature golf course, the dining room is moodily lit by chandeliers. Although the namesake prime rib might be the main draw, the bacon-wrapped tenderloin and herb butter-drenched rib-eye are also staple orders. Live jazz music helps to amp up the midcentury vibes." - Ben Coleman
"A restaurant known for its unchanged, comforting atmosphere and consistently good meals." - Thom Hilton
"Rose City Park’s old-school steakhouse is still the place to be for some straight-out-of-the-1960s realness. Sitting in lipstick-red booths, visitors sip on dry martinis awaiting a parade of prawn cocktails, creamed spinach, wedge salads, and — of course — thick slabs of prime rib. Pop by the lounge before or afterward for live music and a Manhattan." - Michelle Lopez
