Clyde Iron Works was a good post-Spirit mountain ski option. With a busy but not loud ambiance, good service, and good food. FOOD: I got a salad which was a bit small for my liking but was more eventful than other salads. I also had their beer flight which was very enjoyable with generous pours. AMBIANCE: comfortable and busy without being overwhelming. The place gets really busy during rush hour then clears out quick. SERVICE: we waited about 15 minutes since we were a large group (7+) but the service was great, friendly, and delivered a great experience. PARKING: seems ample enough in their lot. read more

Have been here a few times but the last trip is probably it. Two adults and a little kid, almost $90 with nothing special. Had a Reuben which tasted fine but was a tiny (!) portion, burger was just a burger and frozen fries. Absolutely not worth $18 each . Place was empty. Apparently others feels the same way. Too expensive for the size and quality. read more

Fantastic food. The Rueben sandwich with kimchi sauerkraut was so good I was half way through before I realized I hadn't added the Thousand Island dressing. My husband loves the pizza. The server Olivia was great. Friendly without pandering. Definitely a place to go to. read more

A friend was hosting a conference here so I was able to eat at the restaurant a couple of times. They do make their own pasta so that's a complete score in my book. I tried it and it was better than average but won't beat an Italian restaurant. Likewise they had a good pepperoni pizza that was also well executed. Not the best but very good quality for more of a brew pub. I was impressed that they did have a good pizza. Service was hit and miss but the place was pretty busy with the conference. I liked that they kept the open feel of and it kept it truer to an old Iron work. I will be back next year to try other dishes. read more

We walked in at 7:47 and were informed they close at 8:30 so we needed to order by 8:00 and the doors lock at 8:30. Our waitress took our drink orders and then did not even come back to our table until 8:02. She was very short and we overheard her tell the chef she reached her limit and wanted to go home. We offered to take our food to go. Food was good. read more

Food and service was excellent, the building was the old Clyde Iron Works, now a brewery and restaurant

I love the look and feel of this place and all the history. The fries with the Parmesan dill dip are amazing! The Cesar salad is just meh but I'd be back to try a burger or something else. read more

Food wasn't horrible. Burgers were good. Fries were a little too salty. But still good. Service was very slow.

Really nice spot - great building - wonderful food and service to match. I'll go back!

Bartender Aram is a riot! Super interactive! I ordered The Clyde Iron burger & substituted onion rings. The burger is simply but flavorfully seasoned, nice & juicy, and cooked to perfection on a lightly toasted bun. The onion rings, oh my word! FINALLY a place that doesn't deep fry them into oblivion! Nice crisp coating, cooked perfectly, and just the right thickness. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Not a huge menu, but what I had was good. I had a meatball pizza. Our server was good and the venue was nice. A good place for large groups

We say every time we come here, why do we bother with anywhere else. People, price, place and food is right every time Thanks Aram. read more

The Smoked Salmon Chowder soup is probably one of the best things I have ever eaten! Had 2 bowls of it. Never take this off the menu

Great place!! Loved the whole building, staff were soo nice!! Great food and drinks!! Love it!

A truly disappointing experience, to say the least. We were seated right away, which was great. Service was excruciatingly slow. It looked like there was one server for the entire downstairs. Poor girl was trying to do everything herself. Our lunch order was two kids meals, a sandwich, and two salads. After being in the restaurant for an hour and a half all we had received were a couple of flat sodas and a house brewed "Logger" beer that was... not good. Several tables nearby had no food either. We asked if our food would be out soon and it hadn't even been started! We canceled the order. The atmosphere of this establishment is really cute and beautifully put together, but maybe they should have put some of the money they spent on hip fixtures (and an obnoxiously large Christmas tree) into their payroll/hiring budget. read more

Ya know - when things improve at a place I want to make sure I update my reaction. I have gone to Clyde for business functions multiple times since my first review and every visit has been better and better. The service was always good but the food has certainly gotten better each time. read more

The food and service is usually great and consistent . And very chill place ..............................................

Love this place! So much character and unique design. The beer and food was excellent. Our waitress was pleasant and quick to serve us. Highly recommend! read more

I had the pizza, pepperoni and Italian sausage, done in the wood fired oven, which was really good!! The service was timely, and the noise level was low! I liked the table and chairs as the were very comfortable! The server was friendly and polite! read more

The interior is fantastic, it's gorgeous. Every staff we've encountered has been friendly and attentive. Food is decent.

This is the 2nd time we have been to this restaurant and it was just as delicious as the first time even though the visits were over a year apart. They were very busy and it seemed like there was only 1 girl working the whole floor but she was very nice. Sodas tasted like they were missing some carbonation but everything else was very good. read more

I came here for a private event in which we did some pallet painting and the restaurant was super accommodating to our large group and our event! The interior is really unique - a rustic feel, but still very open and modern. They have giant chess right when you walk in which could be great for kids! This seems like the kind of place you could go for a casual meal or an event like ours (I saw a prom group there, too!) As for food, not the best I've ever had, but that could be because I ordered the wrong thing. I ordered pasta, but I think the real winner was the chicken pot pie. I tried some that my friends ordered, and wow. I need it. Next time I'm up in Duluth, I'll be sure to come back and order the chicken pot pie! read more

Great place and accommodating to my daughters celiacs disease. You can catch a hockey game too.

Excellent dinner and top notch wait staff! It's a high order to host 30 folks on short notice and make it a memorable experience for all-- Clyde's delivered. Fun atmosphere, quality food, and above and beyond service. Ask for Sierra when you go! read more

Oi. So OMC BBQ was so packed when we tried going, that we tried to scramble to find a place that was close by and open around 8:45 at night. We found this place and from the looks of the menu, it seemed to have really yummy food. First we ordered the fried ravioli as an appetizer. While the pieces were larger than most, and the sausage inside was delicious, it only came with four pieces. We were left with a ton of extra marinara sauce, we wishing we had more ravioli. My boyfriend ordered their chicken parm. While he seemed to have liked it at first, he told me later that the noodles were really starchy and it was so so. I ordered the Minnesota pastie, and was expecting ground beef (could have sworn it said ground). What came back was something that resembled roast beef. Not so bad, but still not what I expected. Also, the veggies and beef looked like they had been through a food processor. I was expecting there to be big hearty chunks of potato, carrots and whole peas. Instead, the potatoes were tiny slivers and stuff that tasted like celery. All that said, even our Castle Danger cream ales we ordered at the beginning tasted off, but maybe that was just the disappointment. read more

Clyde Iron Works is a place of options. First, it is a restaurant with delicious Italian inspired food. Secondly, it is a fantastic event venue. Thirdly. you could go there to grab a beverage or snack and hang out with friends and play a game of oversized chess. The building was repurposed brilliantly and has unique history. Go check it out. read more

Cute design, wide open space with high ceilings and lots of air. Friendly and attentive staff (though they were too busy to check on drink refills). Food was great (fresh chips and Stromboli were amazing). We will definitely be back! read more

Clyde Iron is a perfect neighborhood restaurant. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is lively and bright. It is a great place to bring the family, or have an intimate date, at one of the high-top tables. Prices are very reasonable, and the portions are ample. I really enjoy coming to Clyde Iron! read more

For as large as Clyde Iron Works is, they could use a few more tables. Our gathering with family here was hampered by a wedding reception or something downstairs, which made use of the games impossible. We had to eat upstairs, near the bar, and had to wait 45 minutes for a table. That was unfortunate, and surprising given the space upstairs. I was expecting truly great food, but in the end was let down. I had the Monte Cristo, Clyde-style. Personally, I didn't care for it. The graham cracker coating gave the sandwich a flavor that I didn't particularly enjoy. The same was true for my bride's reuben, with its kimchi. It was overpowering and dominated the sandwich, which also had little Thousand Island dressing. Both sandwiches were unique, but disappointing. We would not order them again. Both would have been better with less experimentation and more sticking to tradition. None of us enjoyed the onion rings, either. They were the big, thick kind with the crumbly coating. We expected something more hand-made, with a light, crispy, beer batter. That wasn't what we received. The ambiance of Clyde's was great, and we enjoyed our time together visiting. We simply wanted to enjoy our food more. read more

A hundred years or so in the making, the new restaurant at Clyde Iron Works, 29th Avenue West and Michigan Street, is now open. In the cavernous space of the old iron crane company, in a building that machines came out of that built the Empire State Building, Panama Canal, and logged the forests of the Great Plains, a local entrepreneur is making his mark with a micro-brewery, restaurant, bakery, and boutique hotel, adjacent to the new non-profit, multi-purpose athletic center, to be the home of high school and amateur hockey games. The restaurant specializes in simple foods, made from scratch, and cooked in wood-fired ovens brought in from France. Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse hit the Ironworks today, and were among the first diners in Duluth to enjoy the fruits of the kitchen. The wood-fired pepperoni pizza was a huge hit, crispy charred think crust, and ample toppings. Kawikamedia continued his quest for the Twin Ports best Pepper Cheeseburger, and gave that an A+ also, fresh ground hand-formed patty. The hand-cut fries were adequate, he said, and he bought sides of blue cheese and pico de gallo for laughs, which he also like. The gang left full and satisfied, but Kawikamedia is already thinking of heading back to the bakery to pick up multiples of items he saw other people enjoying. read more

We were seated right away which was nice. They quickly got our drinks for us and gave us the perfect amount of time with the menus. I ordered the Smoked Salmon chowder which was delicious. It had lots of flavor, was the perfect temperature, my only complaint was that I found a fish bone in it. I also ordered the California Chicken Sandwich, it was extremely messy and a little spicy. Not my favorite by far. But the smoked/roasted vegetables were to die for! Incredible flavor, smokey, flame taste which was super unique and made them so delectable. Next time I go I may just order my entree as the vegetables they're that good! We also had the cannolis which both my bf and I enjoyed. He's extremely picky so that's saying something! We were slow to be offered the check and to go boxes, but other than that it was an overall good experience. read more

I'd like to rate the food but we were turned away. A group of 9 of us (8 adults and a 6 year old all in the same family) all in town from different cities were told we couldn't be served because a cook didn't show up. 4 smaller tables were being served but there were lots of empty tables. Should have been a sign on a Saturday night at 5:30pm. When we walked in, two of us got there before everyone else. They asked how many. We told them 9 and the host because a little flustered and a manager asked if we had a reservation. We said we didn't. She said she'd need to check and she'd be back to us. She came back and said she couldn't serve us because a cook didn't show up and too many orders would get then flustered. We were then told there was another group with a reservation coming in and we could be seated after they were done so around 7 or 7:30 pm. We certainly weren't going to wait around until then and were scrambling to find other accommodations. What I don't get is that if four groups of two showed up would they have been served? Why ask how many if you aren't serving people. Put a closed sign outside. I would have expected the manager to say that they were understaffed so orders could take awhile and may be slower and let the customer decide if they want to dine or not. What happened to people rolling up their sleeves, working hard to earn that days pay? Not serving willfully paying customers will not keep the doors open. I hope the restaurant compensates the servers who missed out on their tips for the evening. read more

I was so excited to come beee after looking at the menu! They had pesco-tarian options that actually sounded good. We arrived and had no idea where to go for seating, no greeting or direction. We learned by asking to go upstairs. So we did. We were told it was 20 minutes even though there were dozens of seats open. We took a buzzer and waited. A trio came in after us and got sat before us. This happened again. A larger party got sat first.... so we went to the bar, returned the buzzer. The bartender helping us seemed annoyed we were ordering food and not drinking more. We ate, complimented the soup, and were met with an "okay" in response. Long story short order to go. Youll get the great food without the lackluster service. read more

Yelp reviews did not disappoint on this one that's for sure. Hands down one of the best fish sandwiches I've ever had. Attention to detail all the way to the roll being warmed on the wood burning grill - perfection is all that I have to say!!!! Fresh grilled vegetables lightly seasoned with a cup of homemade Italian wedding soup. I will return for a new selection next time I am in town. read more

Wowza who knew this deliciousness was in Duluth...well now I do. We drove up from the cities and we were getting hangry so we found this place. We started with some corn flake crusted onion rings and they were awesome. I usually drown my onion rings in ranch and I just couldn't do it because they were so tasty on their own. I had the wings and they were crispy and Smokey and delicious. My friend and the cheese ravioli with Alfredo sauce. I have never had Alfredo sauce this good. I want to go back and just order the Alfredo and bread and eat only that. read more

The food and atmosphere really were confusing, kids were running around unattended on the main floor, which the restaurant overlooks and is open to. Sounded like ChuckeeCheeses at times, surprisingly you would have never known that there was a wedding party in the rear of the building. The restaurant and bar, in reality they are the same, had a diverse mix of people. What appeared to be dating couples, single men and a couple of groups of friends and one couple and their parents. The menu choices we originally ordered were unavailable and our second choices were not that good. The chicken stroganoff was so-so and the porketta sandwich only saving grace was the cup of au jus and the French fries. Although the first fries were way salty, the second, ordered with no salt were delicious. We ordered the cheesecake for desert and it was disappointing, too many stale crumbs that were supposedly the crust, but the raspberry topping was tasty. Only having been here the one Saturday evening it is hard to judge this restaurant and rate it anything but average. I would give it another try, if I lived in Duluth, but there are many other restaurants to explore first. read more
