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

Never a bad meal here. Portion sizes are great, staff is always efficient and friendly!

Clive's is a great bar and grill. Haven't had most of the menu but the chicken fried chicken is really good, also like their nacho dip with beef and chips Great service, nice ambiance, reasonable prices. read more

This place is the literal definition of a dump. Bad service shit food and overall disappointing. Our waitress couldn't have been more rude or uninterested. She literally slammed the drinks down on the table and stormed off. I get you're an angsty teenager but maybe consider babysitting instead of waitressing? I hope you like getting bad tips because if you do, definitely keep doing what you're doing read more

We ordered the quesadilla to start. It is a great dish - I love that it comes with sour cream and salsa. It is a generous portion. We also added the guacamole on the side which was a great choice. I loved the jalepenos in the quesadilla. They make it a little spicy, but still so good! For our entrees we ordered the Whiskey blue salad. I would highly recommend this salad. The steak bites are so tender and go perfectly with the blue cheese. We also ordered the burrito. This is one big burrito! It is also very good. It comes on a bed of nachos which is strange to me so I ordered it on the side. The atmosphere was okay. I would say this location is the least cozy of all the Clive's locations but is not bad at all. They have a wide variety on their menu and the food is always good. read more

Excellent service !! Great food! Steph was our server last week.. she was on it!! Friendly , knowledgeable, and attentive- even though they were super busy!!! Highly recommend:) read more

Amazing food, awesome staff and portion size for daaaays!! Had a Creole-inspired lunch between three of us, and was full halfway through and finished half the meal for dinner later...and it was just as good the second time! This is a great place for everything from a nice cheap sit-down lunch, to a decently fancy walleye dinner (still very economical) with everything in between. I've eaten there a few times and had something different every time. Each time it made me happy for my choice...no bad food! Definitely recommend! read more

They had many items to choose from on their menu and all of them sounded quite good: state fair burger, Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The portions were large, great beer on tap, and priced right. I look forward to going back there. read more

Clive's menu may be a slight cut above the unifood oft served at TGIChilBees clones. Recently following a business appointment I found myself hungry and searching for a place to dine in this neck of the woods. Clive's, less than 1/2 mile away seemed to fit the bill. The extensive menu offers something for everyone. I was craving something hearty and filling on a cool, overcast day. The redundantly named chicken fried chicken was tailor made for such an occasion. It was a huge serving of a crisply breaded, flavorful chicken breast over garlic mashed potatoes covered in rich gravy and a side of julienned green beans and peppers. Health food? Not. But I've had such fare that was greasy and over-salted. This was neither. The house raspberry lemonade (one free refill) was a crisp, refreshing beverage to counter the weight of the dish. Service was prompt and cordial. Prices very good considering the quality and quantity. If you find yourself in the NW 'burbs, you might want to add Clive's to your list of casual dining options. read more

We loved the outdoor dining and our food. They make a great Reuben. Service was great. We would return here. The food was great. read more

Clives is our birthday go-to destination. We order takeout very frequently and here's the best way to do it: go there, sit at the bar, order your food and a drink, enjoy some free popcorn, and your food will be out in about the time it takes to have one drink (or even faster). We used to call ahead and order and pick up, but they make it so fast! This is the way to go. Over the course of the past 8 years or so of living in Champlin bear clives, I've probably had nearly everything on the menu by now! Nothing disappoints. Here are a few favorite staples that I've had again and again: 169 burger, drunken Irish burger, veggie burger, state fair burger, roadhouse tacos- Cajun walleye, fish & chips, walleye fingers, walleye, buffalo chicken salad, taco salad, Caesar salad - Cajun shrimp, bang bang salad, chicken wild rice soup, queso dip - add beef, crispy pork loin samm, honey crispy chicken melt, roadhouse dip, & brownie sundae. And Patty is by far the best server - be sure to ask to sit in her section. read more

We stopped for dinner at Clive's Roadhouse in Champlin, Mn. this evening. We had an excessive heat warning and temps were reading 100 degrees so we weren't alone in wanting to go to a restaurant for dinner. Since the main dining room was packed, we chose to sit on the shaded deck and were quite comfortable. We were told that the kitchen was backed up do we expected a delay. From the beginning. We were enjoying our cocktails and thinking we would have alittle wait before food arrived . Suddenly our waitress came with a complimentary giant chicken nacho plate to enjoy while we waited. When she turned around snd walked away, she came back out with our order, only seconds later, Our experience at.Clive's was outstanding and kudos to the Manager and waitress for our outstanding service! read more

Restaurant suffers like all others from the Covid-19 planned-Demmic. Waited there a week last night for our food. We were lucky, ours arrived before we left. The quality of the food was excellent. Service was as good as the kitchen allowed. Little noisy for our taste. Overall rating for this experience is 2 out of 5. I know it will get better, we'll try again in the Fall.

Been here a few times and the food has been really good and the prices very reasonable. Definitely will be back.

My parents brought me here since this is one of their go to places to eat. I ordered the stuffed meatloaf and it was so delicious! Talk about comfort food! The restaurant also offers pop-out tabs so you can win some cash. We won about $400 in tabs :) The employees here are super nice and you can tell they work really hard. Love the customer service. read more

Very noisy. Even for a sports bar. Have to shout just to hear server. Food was very salty.

I went out for a birthday dinner with 8 other people last night, and plans fell through where I initially wanted to go. A friend I was with called Clive's around 6:45. They made a reservation for us at 7:30. (9 people on a Friday night!!) When we got there, the service was great and the food was too! (I should've planned on coming here in the first place!) Thanks for accommodating us and making my birthday dinner work out so great, Clive's!! I've been in the service industry a long time, and I know this isn't easy to pull off! read more

In my opinion, Clive's is a solid 3 for dinner. My wife and my daughter visited for dinner for the first time, about a month ago, and both of them refuse to go back. The food was okay. But the orders were botched and they both got sick when they got home. Of course, it's impossible to prove that it's the fault of Clive's--maybe it was the food...maybe not. But I listened to both girls complain about Clive's for a couple of days. I actually talked my wife into going back tonight so I could try them out since they seem to be so popular. So it was my first visit and my wife's second (reluctant) visit. The food and the drinks were good. But I can't say they were elevated up to all the 4 & 5 stars I see on Yelp. Maybe Clive's is above average for the NW suburbs, which seems to mostly be a culinary wasteland. But in the context of the entire metro, they're just average. The service was very good. Our server was on top of everything. As a final note, Clive's was busy as hell on a Friday night. All chairs and tables, both inside and outside, were completely occupied and there was a line of people waiting for an open spot. So lots of people seem to love them. As for me, I'd say they're okay. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

I went for the first time at 9 ish PM and the ambiance was perfect for night cravings. The staff were attentive and came to our table right away. The waiter answered all our questions (since we've never been there) and gave us recommendations. I ordered the nachos and the Clive burger and when I took a chip of nacho I smiled because GOOD GRACIOUS They were full of flavor and Crunchy. Really good, the burger was excellent, the margarita was excellent, the cheese curds were excellent. We came out stuffed and since it was happy hour, all for $34 dollars!!! Will definitely come back! read more

Here we are having burnt tots, cold pasta and empty drinks. Thinking serving figures it's up to us to buss our table. We were not alone in this 2 other tables were left uncleared with menus still on tables. We were able to find our server to refills on drinks. Found manager? Sipping on dew a chatting with pull tabs, asked if it would be possible to get our table cleaned up a bit. He obliged. We then put in a order to go. After 20 minutes we were informed of was sitting at the bar by mistake. Ufdah what a lunch. read more

Our server Tabitha was outstanding! Not only did she refill our beverages before they were half empty, she gave many suggestions on what to order. She deserves an accommodation! We started with the edamame which was some of the best that I've ever eaten. It was covered with garlic and red pepper flakes as well as white and black sesame seeds. The sauce had ponzu, Worcesteshire, and something else that I can't remember, but was good enough to drink. I ordered the shrimp tacos that were accompanied with corn chips and salsa as well as guacamole. Every bite had medium sized shrimp in it and a sauce that was dripping out. Yum Clive's giant burrito was just so so. I felt the flavor was good but it was just loaded with too much rice. More of the spicy chicken and less rice would make it better. If I return (I live in Orlando), I'd try the burger and the chicken wild rice soup. They're fries are supposed to be great (regular and waffle) as well as their salads. read more

Clive's is definitely in my top-5 restaurants in Minnesota! With consistent service, delicious food, whether it be lunch or dinner, and a festive ambience. I have never had a disappointing meal here! With that said, I am not a seafood lover, but the Grilled Salmon has never disappointed! Not only does it taste amazing, but it is healthy for you as well! Get it with a side of fresh vegetables and you can enjoy a low carb low calorie meal. If you can't do seafood, the. I recommend you do the Steak Bites which are equally delicious and also great if you are doing a low carb diet. These meals come in lunch sizes and dinner sizes depending on your level of hunger. A must visit! read more

Usually pretty good service with good food - even to-go! It's typically pretty busy but I've never had to wait for a table.

Anyone who has rated this bar/restaurant less than 4 stars obviously had no idea what a Roadhouse is. Swayze might not be needed as a bouncer, but the good is excellent and the beer flows. The decor is amongst the best for a suburb type bar and the waitstaff is always attentive (and in warmer weather adorned in tight tank tops). Great place to hang out and drink. read more

I finally got to stop in and see what all the locals were talking about. A nice restaurant located on the corner if 169N. On Sundays they have happy hour from 11am to close. I ordered the boneless buffalo wings and cheese curds off the happy hour menu. The cheese curds were overlooks and dry. I was disappointed I looooooove when the cheese is gooey. The boneless buffalo wings were huge! I ordered the traditional buffalo sauce BUT they came out with their bourbon which is pretty much BBQ. I was upset but didn't want to wait for a new batch. The BBQ was pretty good. I would totally order it again. Everyone talked about their chicken fried chicken so you know that's what I ordered. IT WAS THE BEST IVE EVER HAD!!!! The chicken was huge and very moist. It wasn't soggy due to the gravy but crispy & cooked just right. Served on top of garlic Mashed potatoes and vegetables on the side. It was perfect! Tons of flavor. I ordered a cup of creamy chicken wild rice soup. It was so tiny but delicious. And had big veggies and tons of shredded chicken. The strawberry lemonade was BOMB! Free refills with food purchase. read more

Chicken fried steak scored really high in our house along with fish n chips. Jambalaya, not so much. It was very MN flavor. Seemed like too much liquid smoke and heavy tomato. Would never order the Jambalya again. Pretzels with cheese sauce was a hit. read more

First visit to this restaurant. I was immediately impressed by the quick, friendly service. My drink and appetizer arrived amazingly fast.

My daughter and I recently ate at Clive's and it was fabulous! She ordered steak/shrimp and I had the Walleye dinner. Both meals were great and we loved the veggie side. Finally a veggie side without broccoli! Which I can't eat!! Cook/chef did a great job. Our waitress was amazing excellent food excellent service. We will be back. Keep up the good work! read more

Very impressed with the food and service! I had the grilled meatloaf dinner which came with lots of veggies, and mashed potatoes. YUM! Also added the dinner salad, which was a big delicious salad with dressing on the side. Nice, friendly service...and I got refills on my hot tea...the tea was awesome...I got to choose from plenty choices, so I picked a very yummy (and decaf) peppermint tea. MMmmmm! Will definitely return when I'm in the Champlin area again! read more

My wife and I ait a Clive's Roadhouse. The interior is very nice and a bit old school. Kind of like a sports bar with all the Screens turned to various sports. The menu has a lot of items on it (almost to many). My wife had the Bang Bang Shrimp. The shrimp was well executed )basically an asian style dressed salad.) the dressing was decent, with TOO many water chestnuts. Was not impressed with the bread stick served with it. Tasted industrial and it was not even warmed up. Would have been better to serve with an egg roll or a hawiian style bread stick. I had the brisket special. It came with 2 slices of very fatty brisket that was slice WITH the grain (who slices brisket sliced with the grain?) The bark on it was good and flavorable. Came with baked beans that were very crunchy (i.e. undercooked). when I mentioned it to the waitress, she offered to have them heated or replace. She came back with a new bowl of beans and told me that the chef said he serves his beans al dente (being a chef myself I would say this is not a thing to do as it can be bad for a persons to eat under cooked beans). The new plate of beans were acceptably cooked and had good flavor. Also came with a piece of corn bread. Each component was very tasty, but a lot of sweet things on one plate; Could have used something to balance out the sweetness. It did come with a deviled egg half, Would have been a good opportunity to add some balance, but lacked the correct flavor, Overall the $19.99 special was worth about $12.00 in my opinion. Flavors good, but unbalanced, and execution was lacking. NEVER SERVE UNDERCOOKED beans Al dente beans are not a thing. Service was just okay. Waitress refilled my wifes Diet Coke, but never asked me if I would like another beer or beverage. read more

First time here but we'll be back! Love the "up north" feel to the main room. We chose to eat inside so I can't comment on the outdoor dining. I ordered the drunken Irish burger. It was much bigger than I had expected. With it, trying to eat a little healthier, I chose the fresh veg over the fries or tater tots. Again the portion was very ample. Our waitress was very friendly and checked in with us a couple of time....enough to let you know she was around, but not so as to be annoying. read more

Not completely overpriced and the server for our party of 8 had lots of extra help to keep us busy. I had the ribs. They had been sitting out long enough to make me think I was 2 hours late for a cookout. Cool, stale fries and beans that I'm sure would appeal to the very worst salt addict. we got there too late for happy hour but I'm surprised their low H.H. prices didn't fill up the restaurant all by themselves. read more

Had the fish tacos which were fabulous. Chicken quesadillas and martini excellent as well. Drunk smokers from the bar invading the tiny space outdoors while we try to enjoy our dinner? Not so great. For that reason I certainly would not eat outdoors again at this place. Truly unfortunate as there are so few nice restaurants that you can eat outdoors. read more
