Service was excellent! Not only was our server polite, efficient and attentive, but she anticipated all of our needs better than a 5-star restaurant server's expectations. Ambiance is the only downfall here, but is on par with any other family restaurant up north. I would happily deal with the outdated backwoods decor and slightly dusty window shades if they can keep their prices this low! Get the prime rib steak dinner if you can! My steak was perfectly prepared medium rare as ordered, and it had a nice crispy char on both sides. I highly recommend the side salad because it had the best croutons with a light and buttery crispy crunch like a baked croissant. I opted for a loaded baked potato for a dollar upcharge and was very happy with the amount of bacon, sour cream and butter that was added to my baked potato.

We had a brand spanking new server and no one doing any training. But he did good with the support he received. The prime rib was a ribeye that was grilled. Not what I expected. It tasted ok but was definitely tough and haphazardly seasoned. Overall the experience was just ok. Be careful going in and out. Lots of uneven surfaces.

Set in an old steel foundry, Clyde Iron Works is a restaurant with a modern menu full of home made,…read morehearty fare. The space is gigantic, easily dwarfing the size of most restaurants, with an open floor and kitchen that seat what seems to be far more guests than they'd ever hope to serve, not to mention an entire balcony second floor with even more seating. The bottom dining area is clean and modern, while the balcony retains a lot of the original flooring and walls. It's a really interesting dichotomy and I wish there was a museum or something inside to really go deep into the history of the building. Fried Ravioli ($14) - I ordered this hoping to get a taste of St. Louis-style T-ravs that I've been missing for a couple of years, but these turned out to be chunkier renditions. The 5 pieces included are large, far larger than normal ravioli, perhaps 3 inches per side, stuffed, breaded, and fried. The deep frying gives an aggressive herb crust, studded with Italian spices and herbs. Rather than the more traditional method of cutting ravioli squares out of larger sheets of dough, these seem to be dough sheets stuffed and folded over like empanadas. While frying, some puff up like pita bread, with the air remaining inside due to the impermeable exterior. The interior is a cheese and Italian sausage filling, mixed in a balanced fashion so neither component overpowers the other. It gives a slightly spicy warming sensation, while remaining tender and stretchy via the cheese. The ravioli are served with a small cup of marinara. It's warm and bright, herbal with a good balance of flavors between the acidity, sweetness, saltiness, and umami. (5/5) Clyde Rueben Sandwich ($18), Sub Onion Rings (+$3) - The sandwich includes a large pile of shaved pastrami that's fatty and tender, and well spiced. Clearly a lot of care was spent smoking this meat. It's topped with a somewhat funky, fermented gochujang enhanced kimchi, which is mixed with a strongly tangy sauerkraut. The flavors are clearly there, but complementary with the pastrami instead of being overwhelming as with some other places. It's all brought together with a slice of melted cheese and some toasted rye. We subbed onion rings for this one, which according to the menu should cost $4 extra, but we were only charged $3. These are THICK onion rings, both in height and also somehow width. I'm talking almost an inch in width. I've never seen an onion ring this size before! And it's delicious. Full-bodied allium flavor, slight sweetness, and a cornflake enhanced breading that somehow sticks on and stays on. It's only lightly seasoned, so they give either blue cheese or ranch to dip in. We went with the ranch, which seems to be made in house, full flavored with a bit of the base buttermilk tanginess still in play. (5/5) Porketta, Sub Grilled Vegetables ($18) - The sandwich is pretty simple, with cheese melted on a pile of pulled porketta, all in a soft and almost pillowy bun, grilled yet no hint of crunch. The bun is completely soft and acts like a sponge soaking up the pork juices and the jus. The pork is extremely flavorful, full of braising spices, garlicky and abounding with warming fennel savoriness. The porketta comes with a small bowl of jus. It's not the best; the pork broth is thin and watery, lacking salt, completely missing the point of a dipping jus that should be concentrated in flavor and very salty. Perhaps this is just a characteristic of Iron Range Porketta since I'm not that familiar with this dish. It's not very flavorful, although there is a strange aftertaste that I can't quite describe. I'm not sure what spices make the rather unpleasant taste. One of the few items not homemade are the fries, which is one of the reasons I decided to go with the veggies. It's an awesome choice to have grilled veggies as an option as a first place - most other places have either fried food or boring salad as a side. The grilled veggies are definitely a thoughtful addition. In this case, they are flash grilled on a flat top with oil, then peppered liberally with salt and black pepper. The pieces all still retain the fresh vegetable crisp while having some char on the sides. I actually liked the grilled veggies more than the sandwich! (4/5) I found it funny reading all the reviews complaining about portion size! We got one app and two entrees and were almost full eating only the app. Living in Seattle has really changed my ideas about portion sizes! Clyde Iron Works certainly serves some excellent food. It was one of my favorite meals of my entire trip to Minnesota! Bathrooms - Larger ones both upstairs and downstairs Food: [4.67/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 5/5

I said no at first because it looked like a depressed bar but what set it to a yes instead was the glorious smell that wafted from the restaurant during the afternoon before we went while they were freshly smoking their meats. So when the decision came to find a place, we said why not? We came on a Friday, which was even better, because we were able to take advantage of their Friday fish fry. I looked on Yelp to see what we should order while here and the fish fry got a lot of mentions so we decided to try that and some of their BBQ. The fish fry was worth the mention. It was AYCE but I would be surprised if you could want more after the first plate with their generous portions sizes. The fries were in-house hand cut and covered with Parmesan cheese. The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. It was a great Up North-style fish fry. The BBQ was very good as well. I tried the pulled pork sandwich and it came on a giant bun. Once again, the portion sizes were very generous. The sandwich came with a side of homemade BBQ sauce but honestly the meat had such a good flavor I didn't even need to add any to the sandwich. I have to give them a thumbs up for making many of their items like sauces and sides in-house even though it seemed like they could get away with less quality for being a small town bar & grill. This place really hit the spot, we were looking for no frills comfort food, and that is exactly what we found at The Shack. Price point vs. portion sizes were great and the service was small town friendly and prompt. Looks can be deceiving but The Shack isn't the dumpy bar I thought it was at first and I am glad we gave this place a shot.
