This place was overall fine but I think that is why you go to a place like this. Our server was nice and friendly and did a few recommendations. She was solid but not elevated but that what I expected. We had a chicken sandwich and wings a the food was solid. The ambiance was a bit strange as the music kept changing but overall a solid experience. I would definitely come back. It appeared to be a clean restaurant with solid bar food and even had a small outdoor area overlooking a man made pond. If you are looking for some solid bar food with some basic drinks I think you would have a solid experience. read more

A little fun fact... Clive's has an off menu sauce, Honey Sriracha that you can add to your salmon as a glaze/sauce... had the Grilled Salmon entry with tots and veggies, so good and the salmon was done very well. Have to say, I've been here a few times in the last couple of months and it's been consistently good, and the service has been fantastic. It's loud but not so bad that you can't have a conversation at the table. read more

Clive's was a perfect dinner with my girlfriends tonight! We had to order the Chicken Fried Chicken for the table to share, because it's sooo good not to! We also ordered the edamame, tacos, jalapeño popper burger and the jambalaya. So yummy! Service was more than friendly. The place always has good vibes! read more

We had a delightful waitress Breen who helped us figure out what we wanted and was very attentive. The food was good but not special, kind of bland in a chain restaurant kind of way. The walleye tacos I had were mostly lettuce. Surprised at the small size of the fish 1x2". read more

Food isn't great, but love the atmosphere and the patio! Wish they had some decent vegetarian dishes. The service is friendly. I usually steer away from this place just because I'm not a big fan of their food. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Clive's Roadhouse. The service was slow, and it felt like our table was forgotten for long periods of time. When the food finally arrived, it was cold and didn't taste fresh. On top of that, the staff didn't seem interested in fixing the issues when we brought them up. I expected much better based on the reputation, but this visit was frustrating from start to finish. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Honestly 3.5 stars is what this place deserves. 4 stars for the staff. The staff weren't overbearing, they were knowledgeable, respectful, and completed our orders as asked for. Only real knock on the staff was where we were sat, which was directly by another table, in a corner. I'm sure that they were dishing up the tables as people came in so the servers all had tables so that's not really a knock at all. The corner just felt cramped. The parking lot had plenty of open spaces when we were there but I've seen the place absolutely swamped before so I don't really think there's enough room to accommodate on a busy day. It's also very small between the isles and can be crowded with more than one person leaving. The table and chairs were good. Bathroom was clean. Bar area was large and prices were reasonable. Pretty much everything on the menu, apps included (outside of happy hour) is 15-17 dollars. The tough part about going to a bar and grill that offers so many things is that the variety sometimes takes away from the taste. My burger was average. Spicy, kind of, but just heat without a lot of flavor. Highly recommend the apps at happy hour pricing though because those seem to have more flavor for the price. The waffle fries were anemic in every sense of the word, but the seasoned sour cream was good. One last thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the lack of menu for the tap beers. The waiter, knew them by heart, she was fantastic, but it's just odd to me to not have a tap list or QR code to see what's on tap. Overall liked the rustic feel, didn't like the corner, and enjoyed the server. Food was so/so, but, wasn't completely disappointed. read more

Honestly, this place has gone down hill in recent years. Boneless wings - 1/5 Hard as a rock. Way over cooked. BBQ pulled pork sandwich - 2/5 BBQ sauce was ok and fried onions add nice crunch but otherwise very average. Cheeseburger - 1/5 Got burger with blue cheese. Burger was dry and flavorless. Blue cheese had no flavor. Way overcooked. Walleye - 3/5 Simply grilled. Was good. Biggest issue, when we sat down we could visibly see 8 tables around us that were not cleaned after previous customers left. And by the time we left those tables were still dirty and there were even a few more that were not cleaned. It doesn't take much effort to clean a table. If you walk by you grab something on your way. Its not very appetizing as a customer to be sat with filth around you. read more

How is great atmosphere and great food! We enjoy going there and relaxing and having homemade meals!

I have been to Clive's before and it is always good. This time I was with friends for our book club. I got the mac n cheese with steak bites for the first time and it was pretty good. The steak was a little tough but overall good. Service was pretty quick and we had a great time catching up. They have a lot of different menu items, so something for everyone, and I tend to order something new every time. read more

Went to Clive's for lunch today and had a pleasant experience :) The property was well taken care of and had plenty of parking spaces. I noticed right away they had a deck that overlooked a small pod with a fountain and decided to sit outside with my boys. There were umbrellas on the tables to keep you shaded, which was nice. The inside was also nice and had lots of wood accents. The relaxed atmosphere allows for comfortable clothing and you definitely don't need to be dressed up to come here. The hostess was very friendly and our server came right away. Our food came out when it was supposed to and the server did get us our drink refills when asked. Service overall was fine. The food was comparable to an Applebees or Cowboy Jacks. They has burgers, pastas, sandwiches, wraps ect..We started with the cheese curds which were perfectly melty and cheesy! The sauce was delicious and smokey! My boys enjoyed their chicken tenders served with the good ranch (you know what I mean haha!) and the waffle fries were seasoned well. The Buffalo chicken wrap was tasty and was filled well with chicken! Lots of flavor! The tater tots were very crispy and some were almost dry. I love a good tater tot that is crisp on the outside but fluffy on the inside, so there were a bit too crunchy for me. Overall, this would be a good date spot, meet up with friends or just to grab a bite by yourself. They do have app and drink specials through out the week, definitely check it out! read more

Most relaxed and casual restaurant I've ever experienced. Definitely Roadhouse vibes. It's a huge place inside with an awesome, giant bar in the center. All the staff is super friendly, fast, and works as a team. The food is regularly "home cookin'" on a large scale, nothing fancy, but it tastes great. The portion sizes are very large. The drinks are STRONG. The seating is comfortable, but it is veru, very which makes conversation difficult. read more

Came at 5:20pm for happy hour on a Thursday night and was sat within minutes! (a table for 2). Ordered all happy hour food, cheese curds, beef nachos, and waffle fries with seasoned sour cream. Portions are large and it came out fast with it being so busy. The sauce that came with the cheese curds wasn't that great, would ask for ranch or ketchup instead. The waffle fries were crispy and the seasoned sour cream was perfect. The nachos came with a side of salsa and sour cream, they were very good. read more

Came in for a business lunch. Was fairly busy but we sat and were served pretty quickly I had the avocado chicken chop salad. If was really good. I was surprised by how much I liked it. Some folks had burgers, a chicken sandwich and a walleye sandwich and everyone enjoyed their meal. Salad had a lot of dressing and was really good. The salad had some hard chunks in it and Inwasnt sure if they were Brussels sprouts or they left the core of the lettuce in but other than that it was good. read more

Had dinner at Clive's on a nice Sunday evening. We sat out on the patio, which had a nice view of a fountain in a little lake. I was pleased to see Clive's had a summer drink menu. I ordered the 169 Cooler and Hard Lemonade. Both were sweet and refreshing and great for summer! For an entree, I ordered the Mac and cheese with a side salad. The salad is a good size given the price! I am a huge mac and cheese fan, and I live for a creamy Mac loaded with cheese! Though the flavor was great, I was hoping for a bit more cheese sauce. There really wasn't anything to dip my breadstick in. That being said, it still tasted very good. Next time I'll ask for extra cheese sauce! Service was friendly and the food was good. It might not be among my top-tier favorites but I would definitely go back here and try some more menu items. Clive's is more affordable than many restaurant options (most of the cocktails were under $10!), which is also a huge plus. I look forward to my next visit and trying something new! read more

Super solid location "chain" restaurant with a few locations scattered throughout town. The fare is what you would expect from a roadhouse/country style restaurant. A, what could be, overwhelming large menu featuring tons of burgers, sandwiches, and wraps as well as comfort food entrees like Mac and Cheese. All at reasonable prices. There is a healthy mix of domestic beer, rotating local crafts, as well as national favorites on tap. The house cocktail list is fun and all the drinks are consistent and well executed. Service is always friendly and prompt. Food always comes out pretty quick. There is also an abundant amount of TVs making it a perfect spot to watch the game... or the bachelor (literally was on one night). read more

Should have. Been a signal that the queso app took almost 15 minutes to arrive in a restaurant that was only about 50% full. My Clive Burger was way overcooked and chewy and disappointing. The tiny mushrooms were far from fresh (they were greasy and cooked down to a dark, rubber consistency). Their specialty burger (sorry, my photo was lost somwhere between my phone and YELP) is little more than a mushroom cheeseburger available anywhere else...nothing distinctive other than a hint of some sauce that was cook away No manager visible...the concept of table visits has obviouly been lost here. Service was ok and at 3 Stars was, sadly, the highlight of the meal. The restaurant is attractive but a bit loud which could be overlooked with better food and service. Lots of TVs for sports fans. read more

We were a party of 3 people and we order food and drinks. One of us got his dish 10 minutes before the rest of us. The server was very nice and apologetic, I said the manager should offer us some they of comp. The manager said she was sorry and does not know why the kitchen sent the orders out like that. Her position is to know what happened in the kitchen and offer some type of compensation for our meal which I feel was ruined. She did not. read more

Local place doing a steady business. Took the relative here. Everyone was happy. Staff was at the end of busy shift and were attentive. Waters were full and soda refills. Food was taste just what I expect from a American Roadhouse catering to a sports and family crowd. Had a cob salad what was decent, hey the dressing was good and not to thick, which is rare these days. Nephew had the Buffalo chicken tenders and a side of waffle fries. He love both! Fries were really perfect. Neice had a chicken and mash sans gravy. She ate most of it and like the veggies too. Miracle! The rest of the party enjoyed their stuff too. To me small independent stores or chains are better. More variety and less of the same. If I lived here I would try it out a few more times. Solid establishment! read more

So because I have not been feeling very well, Hubby took me out for a date night 11/08/25 for Dinner. The first place we stopped for dinner was Clive's roadhouse in Champlin Minnesota, and we actually experienced racism from the establishment we went in and the people right before us a older white couple were given an estimated wait time to be seated of 45 minute but told it usually isn't that long, But when we got up there, she didn't know that I had overheard her tell them that there was a 45 minute estimated wait but it's usually not that long, so when my husband asked her how long the wait would be, she said they can't give an estimated time and so we were a little confused because I had heard her say there was a 45 minute estimated time, so my husband said " if you have no estimated times why is it that you gave the guy and his wife ahead of us an estimated time of 45 minutes, She said "oh well yeah that's just an estimated time", which was very confusing because she said prior to us that there was no estimated time. Her and two other employees stood and stared at us to see our response, we looked at each other and we left. And will be exing this place off of our list of places to go. I just thought I'd share this experience which was really disappointing. I went there before with a few of my Caucasian friends after a church function so I thought this would be a nice place to come for dinner with hubby. I was wrong. Will not be back. read more

A solid three stars seems about right for Clive's Roadhouse. I've been here three or four times (due to other people picking) and have not had memorable experience. Midwest bar restaurant menu serving nothing original. I do appreciate their late night menu for the warmer months and a lot of kitchens close early. Interior is a nice midwestern sports bar vibe and the outdoor patio is great. Love that they have the water fountain to drown out the noise of traffic on 169. Always had great service at Clive's - just the food is nothing to write home about. read more

Decent place to get some good food and drinks without spending a ton. Typical sports-bar/lodge feel to the place. The Champlin location has a nice deck overlooking a pond and fountain. Drinks were well made. Started with a nice size portion of Fried Cheese Curds, although they were breaded rather than battered (still good). My wife enjoyed her French Dip sandwich and I had a Georgia Hot Chicken sandwich which was very good. Fried pickles on top were a nice touch. Wasn't really very spicy, but was still good. read more

Stopped in on our way to Princeton, 4:30 on a Saturday and the place was pretty busy. Our server was quick to greet us and take our drink orders. Server was very attentive. I got the Reuben and my wife got the pulled pork sandwich. It was one of the best Reubens I've had. Very tender corn beef, just the right amount of thousands island dressing and kraut. Tator tots were hot and crispy. My wife really enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich. We will definitely be back when in the area. read more

We love this spot for their all day happy hour on Sundays! They have really good food and drink deals! The Firecracker Shrimp is made with garlic oil sautéed Cajun shrimp, red peppers, red onions, jalapenos, and tossed in their house made cheesy cream sauce. They serve it with grilled pita bread for your dipping needs! This was super tasty and a great deal on HH for $8. I was impressed with the Buffalo wings. They are meaty, tender, and the sauce was pretty delish. The edamame is something I will get every time! It is the perfectly seasoned and not overly salty like other places! I did rail drinks for $3 and a $5 class of their house Cabernet. Great spot in Champlin for sure! read more
