Had an an amazing dinner here. Ordered the half chicken with a side of Mac and cheese. Both were delicious. My friend got the crab cakes and onion rings. We loved the food. The staff were so friendly and the restaurant itself is such a fun venue. It’s a combination of several historic buildings that have been restored and put together to create a really great vibe.

Clyde’s is our go to place in northern Virginia for good food and outstanding cocktails! The service is always top notch and the bartenders are fabulous. Drinks are a bit pricey but honestly they’re worth it! The bartenders here are experienced and take pride in their craft. On this visit we had the Faroe Island Salmon Salad. It is outstanding! Perfect blend of greens and toppings that were light and filling at the same time. We also added a side of onion rings, crispy and tasty! For cocktails we had a maple old fashioned and a dirty martini, perfection! Our bartender Sam makes the absolute best drinks but you’re in good hands no matter who is creating your cocktails. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing and always clean.

Clyde's Willow Creek Farm is a favorite. Look forward to going back soon! Clyde's Willow Creek Farm is known for its blend of historic charm and modern American cuisine, housed in a beautifully restored farmhouse. It is a sprawling, rustic tavern with multiple dining rooms and four bars. The property was created by reassembling antique heavy timber buildings, such as barns, stables, homes, and taverns. Dining rooms feature original artwork, historic artifacts, and a collection of museum-quality 18th-century horse-drawn carriages. Live music is available on Friday and Saturday evenings, with a pianist in the Audubon Bar.

Service was spectacular. Food was amazing. we had a dinner party of 12 people. everyone was impressed by Clydes standards. Great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere. My salmon tasted good but my husband’s fillet was a little too charred and dry. The service was very bad though. Our server hasn’t approached our table after taking the food order - no drink refills, no asking how the food tasted, etc. I don’t even remember seeing him around, so maybe they assign tables in different areas. We even had to ask another server for the bill after waiting 15-20min after we were done eating. We initially planned on getting dessert but decided that we’d rather get it somewhere else.

Delanie, our waitress was an absolute delight. She took very good care of us and was helpful with choices for our meal. The Crab Soup was excellent and not fishy tasting in anyway. It was light and creamy with a hint of spices. The French Onion was a bit a disappointment. It came from the kitchen holding great promise in the golden Gryuer cheese on top, but the croutons were mushy and the soup lacked flavor. The Market Salads were prepared as we had asked (nut allergy for one of us). The Blue cheese dressing was spot on; rich, creamy and full of flavor. My partner had the Guiness Lamb Stew which was served with mashed potatoes in the center of the bowl. The meat was a little bit dry, while the Yukon mashed potatoes were delicious. My 8oz filet was a tad closer to Med Well than the "Medium" I had requested, however the Bernaise sauce was a delight to my palette and made up for it. We topped off the meal with Creme Brule. It was served with a slice of Cinnamon Ginger Biscoti on top (which was not needed and did not add anything to enhance the flavor - it actually was a distraction). The Creme Brule was properly toasted and the flavors were savored with each spoonful. We will return with hopes of improvement, as we have had wonderful meals in the past.

Our first time. Nice location and building. Nice greeter, clean, lots of people for lunch. I ordered the salmon

We were looking for something close and local when we found this place. It was definitely different than we expected but had a quaint home vibe that felt nice. I did wonder if there was a dress code after seeing others so I’d suggest maybe wearing your Sunday best at least. ;) The food though is what matters most - delicious. I ordered the Chicken Casarecce Pasta which was light and refreshing (without capers per request). My sister ordered the Trout Parmesan which was the best of the dishes - the fish was cooked to perfection and it was the largest fillet I’d seen in my life. My mother ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and she raved about it too! Their greens salad has a unique but great dressing that was worth a try. Also… the Brussels sprouts were top tier! We randomly shared a side on a whim and it was the best choice. I highly recommend them! The server and the server in training were very sweet and had appropriate timing. All in all, we were all impressed!

Lovely restaurant that is in an 1800s house (with newer additions). The decor is welcoming and the dark wood gives a warmth but not a dark or dingy vibe. Food was really good. I got the steak salad and everyone else enjoyed their meals. Waiter and host were excellent. Check out the buggies hanging from the ceiling in the bar area.

Service was good. Vibe was top notch. I had a business dinner tonight and enjoyed everything. We were seated in one of several semi private rooms, which was great since we were a lively bunch. The server was super helpful with suggestions for shareables and specials. Our appetizers came out quickly and entrees perfectly timed. I had shrimp cocktail, which came with 3 jumbo shrimp, and shared zucchini chips, which were large, lightly battered and baked thick Slice zucchini with a delicious sauce. The deviled eggs were unique, with a dollop of guac, jalepeno slice and fried jalepeno topper. Not my favorite, but still good. I had the steak salad, minus bacon, subbing in the white balsamic dressing vs bleu cheese dressing. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. Portion size was just right. Drink refills were a little slow and non existent towards the end, but we had a large group and the overall service was really good.

We attended a wedding and wedding luncheon at this Clyde's location. My friend and his future wife planned an outdoor and indoor event. The outdoor pavilion was decorated very nice. The event chairs were comfortable. It was a nice day just a bit windy but the pavilion roof prevented the winds from ruining the decorations. Food and bar service for the reception was exceptional. The staff was attentive. The food(half roasted chicken was my selection) was very good and served hot. The whole reception was executed very well.

Went for a mid day lunch and decided to try lunch at the new Pavilion. We had such a great time and our server was friendly and engaging. The pasta is always homemade and the flavors were unique and seamless. The patio had fans and heaters for the cooler months.

My family is a long standing relationship with the Clyde's group in the DC area. Every restaurant in the group has exceptional quality. Willow Creek lives up to that integrity. It was Easter and they started us off with absolutely delicious Hot Cross Buns. The bakers in the Clyde's restaurants are known for their in-house baked goods. My sister had the standard Parmigiana Flounder. Always good. I had the Bacon cheeseburger with Blue Cheese perfectly medium. For dessert we split the Crème B. with lavender notes. Elegant and perfect.

I have been to the Clyde's venues in Georgetown, at Tower Lodge, Alexandria, the now close Tyson's location, Old Ebbitt Grill and the Willow Creek Creek Farm over the past 40 years probably 200 times. Tonight I went to Willow Creek with my gf and her daughter to celebrate my birthday. I had the worst meal and only bad meal, that I ever had at a Clyde's. My salad tasted like it was leftover from the weekend. My gf had hummus and her daughter had a crab soup. They thought their meals were tasted awful and when I tasted them, I agreed. Now it is one thing if one person in a group of 3 has a bad meal, but all three? I cannot express adequately how disappointing this was on my birthday at a restaurant that offers a quality dining experience consistently. We all have bad days, but this was unprecedented for a DC area dining institution. Moreover there was a large smelly dumpster adjacent to an entrance to the restaurant; not a pretty sight for such a lovely venue. That's my story for my experience tonight at Clyde's Willow Creek. As usual though, our bartender did a great job. We sat at one of the bars. I did not complain to him about our meals, since he was not responsible for the disappointing performance of the kitchen. Clyde's you're better than this.

I finally made my way out to Clyde's Willow Creek, and it lived up to the hype. The restored farmhouse building felt so Virginia. I kinda felt like I was transported to Williamsburg or a historic Virginia town from the looks of this restaurant. The room we were seated in felt so cozy and elegant, and they even had the fireplace going. They don't have a dress code but I would definitely lean towards dressing up a bit at least. For dinner, I had the lamb stew which was really flavorful and the lamb was cooked very well. The mashed potatoes on top were buttery and nicely whipped. For dessert, I had the turtle cheesecake. I really enjoyed it but I wished the cheesecake itself had some turtle elements instead of it all being on top.

Doing an updated review 9 -- wow, really? -- years later since my most recent one. I've been here many times since, probably 2-3x a year. Unfortunately, it's always very hit or miss. The food IS delicious, but there's always something off about every visit. The setting and vibe can't be beat, and the food is tasty -- good steak, amazing crab cakes, great fries, and wonderful shrimp pasta and salad on my most recent visit. Here's my issues though: - The server was WAY too chatty which made it awkward, he went on and on about how he was doing us a favor with all his recommendations and he wasn't even supposed to be serving because he usually does the bar and cigar lounge but he was stuck there for a wedding; his chattiness plus just absenteeism from the room meant he was very AWOL during our visit and barely came around so we had to wait a long time to order more food when we wanted it; we ended up skipping dessert and going elsewhere because we just didn't want to wait on him. - The dining room was SUPER COLD. We had to put our coats on to eat. - The soft drinks were FLAT. - The tinier and tinier portion sizes for the increased prices are just getting ridiculous. Food has amazing taste and quality, but everything is experiencing shrinkflation and inflation at the same time. - The table was STICKY. Like I had to pull hard on my glass and napkin to get them off the table. And the booth had crumbs all over it when we were seated.

I booked this restaurant for two to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We went in July and the weather was lovely. The outdoor seating area is truly very impressive. The only complaint I would possibly have mosquitoes and that is completely out of their control so certainly plan to bring your bug spray if you have exposed skin in the summertime while you are dining here. It occurred to me that a restaurant with the name Clydes may belong to the Clydes conglomerate of restaurants. It certainly did not occur to me upon booking, but upon walking in the decor and styling is very similar. The menu at this location is more elevated than your standard Clydes in my opinion. I've been quite a few to include the one in Alexandria, which is also a little more upscale. One of the highlights of our meal included the jumbo lump king crab salad! The portion was very nice and the lumps were absolutely generous. my best friend and I really enjoyed our meal here and would highly recommended for any kind of special event! The fountain was absolutely stunning in the location is extremely well-maintained. Plenty of parking, but it does in fact fill up fast. The service was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and did all possible to ensure our celebration was a success! Thanks Clyde's!

I had high hopes. SMH. I've been to the other Clyde's in the area and this is so disappointing. Appetizer: I have a pic of the calamari. It was cooked well but too much goo on it and it was soggy. That was the last thing that came out in decent timing. Even our waiter said he wondered why our entrees took so long. Entrees: My husband's trout was good but was supposed to have the hollandaise on the side. It was poured all over the top. Heavy. My halibut was ok. But too much sauce. But I get it. It was dry. Dessert: we ordered the strawberry shortcake. I'm still waiting on it. Which was the last straw. And I had to give a negative review. They just tried to serve us a cheesecake. Not the strawberry shortcake. Done. Should be closer to a fine dinning experiment. Not even close.

The food was DELICIOUS! We came for lunch and sat on the porch. The menu had great options. The atmosphere was great - it felt a little higher end. The service, however, was not the best. They were a bit slow, forgot our requests and not the friendliest waiters.

Clyde's never disappoints if you stick with the basics: wings and burgers. 10/10 there's no other place in the dmv that compares.

My two friends and I had brunch here today. Yosh (Josh?) was our server. My friend has an allergy to all corn products (corn starch, corn syrup, etc) and he took extra care to communicate with us what foods were safe for her to eat, going out of his way to double check with the kitchen for anything she ordered. He did a great job and we appreciated how attentive he was given her allergy.

I dined at that place the other day with 14 girls to celebrate a friend's birthday. The ambiance is truly delightful. Perfect for capturing great pictures. We kicked things off with calamari and zucchini chips, and let me tell you, it was the best calamari I've ever tasted and the chips were fantastic. I opted for the salad with salmon and it was absolutely divine. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the salad was so fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The service was impeccable. Our server was incredibly friendly, although one of the other servers scolded us for being too loud. I fail to see what they were expecting. However, the manager came over and was very pleasant. I would have given a 5-star rating, but that one server really made us all feel uncomfortable.

Our team's Christmas Dinner this year, as our last 2024 get-together, wandered to Clydes. 1. They have Alligash - a brewery out of Portland, ME, and one of my favorites! 2. The appetizers were perfect 3. The meals were perfectly prepared and amazing. Clydes (several locations in the DC area) is a dining experience. This was my first time at the Willow Creek location, and I have to say it was well worth the trip to NVa! I mean the beer alone was worth a star. I won't even complain about their insanse parking lot!

The average rating for this restaurant is not representative of the high quality food and service provided. As you can see from my reviews, we enjoy Clyde's 3-4 times per year. Food and service is always very good. We like going around the holidays because a good of high school kids goes from room to room singing Christmas carols. This is always a special treat for us. We also get inspired by all the holiday decorations.

This has been our go-to restaurant for celebrating and when we just want to have a great experience... In a city that can feel commercial and soul-less, Clyde's provides quality food, service, and the space for connection and presence. The classic burger is amazing, especially if you add carmelized onions and mushrooms (chili on the side). The Remedy drink was also very tasty!

Good food, terrible service. Had a group of 6 adults for brunch. The service staff definitely knew they were getting an automatic 20% tip because we rarely saw them and they did the absolute bare minimum. Service staff hid out at the bar on their phones while we had to send someone to find them to ask for more coffee, more water, missing entrees, and the check. When we asked staff other than our waiter, we were told to ask our waiter instead. We had to ask repeatedly for missing items to be served. Clearly items were forgotten because everyone else had their food until the missing entrees arrived 20 minutes later. It was not busy and from one waiter to another, there is frankly no excuse. I would have been embarrassed to ask for 20% after missing multiple items and ignoring the customers. The kitchen saved the experience from being a total disappointment. Even more disappointed because we traveled 30+ miles to test the location out for a big event. Will probably cross this one off the list.

Really beautiful and HUGE inside. The wait staff could not be more respectful (we had elder types with us) and helpful. The menu is upscale, and not inexpensive even at lunch, so look ahead if that is a concern. We were there for lunch, and my wyfe had a crabcake sandwich with not breading or fillers, just crab. It was the best crabcake I have sampled in years, and certainly the best outside of the Baltimore area. Could not have asked for better. I was trying to eat light, so I ordered a reuben. When it arrived I was daunted a bit, as it has a great deal of heft to it. Good quality meat, a nice medium strong swiss, nicely dressed. I got a side salad along with mine (see? I was TRYING to be healthy) and the house dressing was sharp and flavorful, over a bed of well selected mixed greens. I WAS tempted by the oysters rock and a side of asparagus. I am glad I did not choose them instead, but I am still thinking about them.... if this is what Clyde's does with a reuben, what can they do with the wide menu? Can't wait to find out the next time we are in the area.

We've lived in the area for five years and, honestly, never gave Clyde's a chance because of the Yelp reviews. Big mistake! We decided to try it for ourselves, and it's safe to say we've been missing out on a gem. Clyde's has quickly become a family favorite. Whether it's dinner or weekend brunch, the food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The menu has something for everyone, and the service has always been friendly and attentive. One of the biggest perks? They stay open late, which is a rarity in this area. It's nice to know there's a reliable spot we can count on for a great meal even when we're dining a little later than usual. If you're hesitant because of the reviews like we were, trust me, it's worth giving Clyde's a try. You might just find your new go-to spot!

Love this place - the old nostalgic barns and horse carriages make this place special. We ate in the bar where Abby was our server - she was awesome, polite, and everything was perfect. I got the Rueben and my wife got the salmon avocado toast. We topped it off with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand that was to die for. Really enjoyed everything.

We visited on a Saturday, which was a last minute decision for us, so we didn't have a reservation. While the restaurant seemed to be quite busy, even hosting a private event and a completely occupied bar, we were seated immediately. So, initially I didn't realize that this restaurant was connected to Old Ebbitt's grill and many other, but our waiter William quickly let us know about the affiliation. William was quite attentive and on point the entire evening. We quickly decided on drinks and apps, we chose the cream of crab soup and the smoked salmon deviled eggs, both were delicious, the soup was very sherry forward and the eggs were smoky and yummy Settling on entrees took a little longer as there were so many appetizing choices, we settled on the Faroe Island Salmon and the Chesapeake Rockfish. Can I just say the crispy skin on the salmon stole my heart....... I am literally still thinking about it as I write this review, absolute perfection the veggie combination of brussel sprouts and fresh baby carrots with the lentils paired very well with the berre blanc sauce, needless to say there wasn't much left on my plate. The rockfish was fresh and delicious, but the Swiss Chard on that plate is the star for sure, everything was just fabulous. The service was attentive, fast and the food came out HOT! I would recommend this place to anyone.

I have been here countless times and have had nothing but great experiences. NYE was an exception. We were seated and then waited 25 minutes to get water and for our waitress to take our orders. The party near us had the same issue. They were seated before us so who knows how long they were waiting. They also asked multiple people if they could get help. BUT the table behind us who sat down 10-15 minutes later than we did, had the same waitress, and somehow got water/ orders before us (and the other table) ???. We asked for bread at the beginning when we (finally) received water/taking orders. We were told they were out. The cocktail drinks were not consistent. 2/4 drinks we ordered tasted vastly different/stronger. Fries were good 5/5. I ordered the filet medium rare, came out more medium. My S/O ordered his medium, came out more medium rare (more rare). We still ate them anyways we honestly did not want to wait another 30+ minutes for new food. Lastly you know the bread we asked for at the beginning? The bread ended up coming at the end of the meal once we just finished eating. We went at 4-5pm on NYE not sure what happened but, a disappointing experience. Couldn't imagine what it was like at 7-close when the rush came in. We went on valentines day and it was x2-3 busier and we received excellent service/food. But, guess we wont be going on a holiday again.

Friday night(12/20). Place was packed and we got there at 5:00. They have too many hostesses and not enough servers. The food was decent, and the decorations were lovely but they turn up the music so loud in the bar area you practically have to shoit to compete with the other people in the booths. I have yet to have a decent cocktail at Clyde's. The food came fairly quickly but after that our waitress disappeared. We needed more water, asked for a takeout box and the check. It took forever! This is my last time going there. It's really a mediocre restaurant and it could be great!

Delicious French Dip Sandwich! Don't you hate it when you order takeout and it's not as good as having it at the restaurant! Today my Sandwhich was so nicely prepared and packaged. It tasted so good. The bread was fresh and they even packaged the au jus for dipping. Just a reminder, please give customers napkins and silverware. They are not always taking it home.

Came in on a Monday night. Was visiting a friend in the area and she recommended this spot. Interesting decor. Each room is different but the establishment itself is huge. Service was kind. A bit slow but also understandable they are under staffed and it's a Monday evening. Food: oysters were delicious! Not pictured was the crab artichoke dip. It was delicious!!! So much so that we forgot to take a picture it was devoured. Also honorable mention is the crab cake entre. It was soft and savory. Drinks: lavender haze and blackberry bourbon. Delicious!! Yes they do add a fee to your check as a service fee because of inflation

I had high expectations for Clyde's but was disappointed. The restaurant is quite chaotic with staff running around and high noise levels. Appetizers -- calamari and shrimp cocktail were average. Steak frites was also average with the steak being on the tough side. Chocolate cake was the highlight. Overall it is overhyped.

My co-worker and I had a lovely dinner at Clyde's. The restaurant has an abundance of decor and each area seemed to have a theme. We also learned some history from another diner that the wood barn ceilings were collected from old farms and refurbished. That was a fun fact to learn. It was our first-time dining here and our server, William, was beyond helpful reviewing the menu with us. He shared the most popular drinks, appetizers, and entrees. William was also very attentive and made sure our drinks and waters were always full. I get excited when there are unique vegetarian entree options. I ordered the Kale & Mushroom Melt, which I have never heard of. It did not disappoint; it was filling and I ended up taking half of it home. I had already devoured the fresh Summer Tomato Salad, so that might have had something to do with it. ;) My co-worker ordered the fried chicken sandwich. She shared it was crispy and flavorful. The winner of the night was the garlic mashed potatoes. We shared one order and had to get another- they were creamy and delightful- best I've ever had. Sadly, we had no room for dessert, but the menu items looked yummy. Overall it was a phenomenal experience from our prompt food runners bringing each course out, William providing appropriate check-ins, and delicious food. I cannot wait to go back!

Go for the atmosphere not the food. Beautiful ambiance with a lovely shaded outdoor patio. This restaurant complex is HUGE, good for large groups for sure! Service was friendly. Nothing too special about the food, just pricey classic food. $17 burger, $15 tomato salad, $15 peach tart.

Went here to celebrate a birthday last night. We had a large party of 10 people, which is typically difficult to find a table for. However, Clyde's easily accommodated us and was very flexible when we had to adjust the date. Ambiance: A+ This restaurant has a unique setting which really embraces its rural Loudoun County location. It's a beautiful barn and has attached buildings which are period specific. Very Americana and not kitschy. Beautiful furniture with very cozy atmosphere. One small exception: We were seated in the barn, which was gorgeous. However, it is wintertime and the barn was a bit cold and a little less cozy than the other rooms. If it's winter when you're visiting, request a table in the other rooms. If it's summertime, the barn should be fine. It's beautifully decorated and grand. Food: A- Some of our food was exceptional, and some was just good. For appetizers: we had the crab and artichoke dip, which my family universally agreed was the best we've ever had. Not too heavy or cheesy. Calamari was pretty good too. Soft and chewy, not overly fried or hard. Buffalo wings were just ok. Overhyped by our waiter but ended up being standard. As far as entrees: the steak for the steak frites was ok. It's obviously not going to be the best cut of steak. The scallops were incredible. Served over a vanilla sauce, it was an original flavor pairing and so delicious. I had the salmon salad. The salmon was very good and tender. The salad itself was more garnish than salad but the flavor was still pretty good. Value: C The 8 oz filet mignon was $50 and it was tiny tiny tiny. See picture. Entrees ran around $25-30. Service: B+ Our waiter was friendly and I think he tried. I just don't think this restaurant has an emphasis on service like some other chains. The operations were a bit chaotic. Plates were left to pile up on our table. We had to ask for water and soda refills a couple of times. Please don't get me wrong. Everyone was very nice and our food came out timely. It just wasn't seamless and required a lot of asking and asking again. Overall, I would definitely come here again and give it another try. It was a beautiful restaurant and I'd like to try other menu items. Would recommend this restaurant if you're celebrating with a large party.

Worse filet mignon. Food was barely warm. Over cooked a bit but it was dry. Good steak wouldn't be this way even with a bit overcooked. I returned the whole plate after two bites. They didn't even care. Service was okay nothing special. The place is more like bar food. So don't order anything too fancy on the menu. Is sad with all the inflation but our standard cannot go up as same.

This was a last minute choice for brunch and we did not regret it. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was okay. The drinks were just what the doctor ordered on a cold rainy Sunday. The atmosphere was pleasant. The only criticism I'd have is that management was incredibly rude to the servers. Servers are people. They should be spoken to as such. Our whole table felt bad for the entire waitstaff who were spoken down to unnecessarily on the floor during our visit.

It was quite a delightful and delicious surprise dinner for both my friend and me on a winter night. The inside was warm, clean, and had a great ambiance. Our server was Jordan and he definitely went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and satisfied! We ordered the cauliflower dish and crab cake with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts, which did not disappoint!! On the contrary, the cauliflower dish was so superior that I considered it a new religion and would gladly convert in a heartbeat to being a vegan! The crab cake was also very delicious and well seasoned with the sprouts! All in all, we both agreed to come back for more delicious dishes at Clyde's!!! And the cauliflower dish will be ordered again!!!!

I regret that I only have five stars to give! Sitting on the delightful patio with the very attentive Sam as my server was lovely, but the half chicken with creamy potatoes, crunchy carrots and the snappy snap peas was divine. Iced tea and steaming, yet crispy bread pushed it over the top. I have traveled the world and never had such a delicious meal. Grab your honey or girlfriends, jump in the car and make your way to Clyde's at Willowcreek - ask for Sam and settle in for a delicious, relaxed treat - you won't regret a moment of the meal!

This place was amazing!!! The food was amazing. The service was amazing. And the fireplace was very nice near our table. The only thing (and it's small) is the distance to this place. This place is past Dulles Airport!

Pretty generic food at a high price. But, their staff is renowned for going out and treated other establishments horribly. Extremely rude humans

Maybe one of the best restaurants in Loudoun. Great ambiance, very good menu, good variety of choices. Stopped in today for a burger and a beer, which I like to do on a Saturday. Great service from Ryan, great burger and fries from the kitchen. It's upscale but not snooty. Consistently good, and that is tough in the restaurant business.
