Step into this vintage steakhouse for perfectly cooked prime rib carved tableside, cozy red-velvet booths, and a lively vibe that'll keep you coming back.
"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
"Head to Clyde’s in Rose City Park for old-school steakhouse realness, complete with live jazz, rounded red booths, and hunks of prime rib served alongside piped mashed potatoes. When reservations are booked up in the main dining room, grab a seat in the lounge, where meals can begin with Old Fashioneds and Manhattans." - Carrie Uffindell, Eater Staff
"For decades, Rose City’s old-school steakhouse was one of those places where people would sip Old Fashioneds and watch jazz in the adjacent lounge. That hasn’t changed: Clyde’s still regularly hosts musicians like the Grammy-nominated bassist and composer Kirk Green and the “godfather of the Portland jazz jam” Ron Steen. Grab a slab of prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes beforehand, heading to the dance floor with an after-dinner cocktail." - Jenni Moore, Eater Staff
