If you want a delicious cheeseburger at an excellent price you must stop here! It came highly recommended in all the travel books and definitely lived up to the hype. It was crowded but worth the wait. read more

Food was phenomenal and so was the owner she made our experience extra special and catered to my partners gluten free needs with a whole menu of options with gf fries and a separate fryer! The interior is adorable and I haven't sat in a diner in so long, it felt like such a treat!!!! Thank you Clyde's!!!! read more

Had to try Clyde's as traveling through and very glad we did. Unique place that's been in business since 1949! Friendly service and delicious food. My husband had a cheeseburger and french fries, I had a pasty and we both had malts. We sat at picnic table with our small dog. read more

Highest rated components of small town burger joint: fresh flavorful meat, hand-seasoned handmade patties, cooked perfectly medium every time by chef who never takes eyes off grill, assembly by hand using perfectly placed condiments carefully spread by hand, all served quickly by attentive counter help. Add hand-cut fries, fresh actual milkshakes, unlimited napkins to clean up a river of juicy goodness = this is 5-star folks. Plus their menu is extensive, and from what we saw every local order, all must be exceptional. read more

Delicious burgers and a "drive in" experience from the past. Unbelievably large menu for a drive in. Not just burgers. And they really get to out fast. There are a few seats inside, but they have car hop and outdoor table service. Didn't love the shakes, pretty average. But burgers and French Fries with Gravy was really good. read more

It definitely has that 50s diner drive in feel and I love going to places like this, there are 3 locations that I know of: St Ignace, Manistique & Sault St Marie, there might be more but I'm not too sure, I haven't eaten at the SSM and now the Manistique location. The food here is really good, I always get "The Big C" and forget how bad it ruins me the whole day, not because it's bad but because it's really fulfilling, a VERY delicious burger but you will be rooting more than a train in about an hour after eating it. I also had their Poutine Fries and those were very delicious, the gravy was very good. This location wasn't very packed and seemed to have locals here a lot which is a good thing and they had an outside patio are which was nice to be able to sit outside and eat while the weather was perfect. I definitely have to try the St Ignace location now so that way I can say I have been to all of the ones I know about. read more

Service wait was long, unapologetic and the food needs a lot of improvements. I ordered a steak which was nothing to write home about and almost decided to give it to my dogs but didn't as deserve better. read more

Waited at least 45 minutes to get our food and drinks (even water). Not sure if they forgot our order but lots of other tables who ordered after us were served first. The fries were cold and not tasty. Steak was way overcooked and the fish was ok at best. Also the bathrooms aren't accessible. read more

We ordered a pasty and perch basket with sweet potato fries. We sat at one of the tables out front on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Our food came out quickly and we enjoyed it all. I don't usually enjoy cole slaw, but this one was great. Definitely a place to stop in the area! read more

When you first pull in to Clyde's, you just know the experience is going to be fantastic. The fact that they've been in business since 1949 is the first clue that you are about to eat some killer grub. Clyde's did not disappoint! We elected to sit outside on the picnic tables (with umbrella) and quickly we were greeted by a smiling server asking us for our order. As the menu is expansive with all sorts of burgers, sandwiches, platters, and sides, I needed a bit more time to decide. I had read that the "Big C" burger was where the action was, so I ordered it, while my mom ordered a mushroom swiss burger with sweet potato fries. 10 minutes later, the food arrived with regular fries instead of the sweet potato fries. When we mentioned the issue, the server quickly brought out some sweet potato fries and let us keep the regular fries! The regular fries were outstanding, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sweet potato fries were OK, but couldn't compare to the regular fries. However, the star of the show was the "Big C" burger. This burger was 3/4 pounds of fresh ground beef in the form of 2 patties, served on top of a fresh bun, with at least 3 slices of American cheese. Just by looking at this monster, you knew that this was going to be one of the best burgers you had ever touched. It did not disappoint. The patties were juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to a perfect medium well doneness. The quality of the beef was impressive and was likely freshly ground on site. The beef to cheese ratio was perfect with each bite containing just the right amount of orange, salty, tangy goodness with each bite. This burger required no toppings of any sort; they would just distract from the masterpiece that it was. If your burger needs to rely on a sauce, or produce toppings, or bacon, then your burger isn't very good. This burger needed nothing besides the beef, cheese, and the bun. Best burger I've ever had...hands down. My mom's mushroom swiss burger was delicious as well, but couldn't compare to the "Big C". The restaurant is located next to a railroad spur to the local paper mill. We enjoyed watching the boxcars being shuttled in and out of the plant while we enjoyed our food. Can't say enough positive things about Clyde's! read more

Forget best burger in the UP, Michigan or Midwest. This burger is a candidate for best burger in America! The hospitality, cleanliness, flavor, conversation and everything else in between accentuated the best cheese burger around. Clyde's, especially in Manistique, is worth the drive no matter where you're vacationing or summering in the UP. Absolutely love this place for the food quality, value and the pleasantries! read more

I have looked so often for a place like this! A drive in diner that even still puts the basket on the window Of your car!!!! All that's missing are the roller skates!! The burger was everything I wanted it to be!!!! Not gourmet but perfect drive in diner flavor (there's a group of yelpers who will not need me to explain). Pricey but I got the small burger and it's NOT SMALL I'll get the big C next time Outdoor indoor and car dining. I wish there were more places like this! read more

The food was great! We were in the area on vacation and a friend suggested we stop by....and I'm glad we did. Great burgers and milkshake!

As good or better than I remembered growing up. Can't go wrong with a burger and a side of fish ain't gonna disappoint ya either.

If you think you have already eaten the best burger in your life...You've never experienced a Clyde's "Big C" burger. (add cheese, bacon, jalapeños and ketchup for me) with extra crispy fresh cut fries, deep fried cheese curds, mushrooms and chocolate shakes and this is what's called "Heavenly food" in God's country! Exclusively at 3 locations only in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Manistique Clyde's is truly a nationwide recognized specialty car hop service burger joint with nostalgia over 50 years locally and plays a special part in the community. Especially classic car show week! You sorta go back in time there in your old hot rod with friendly car hop service. Please honk and don't forget that tray hanging on your side window. No, the gals don't sport roller skates...Be a shame to dump a "Big C" fries and shake. Voted the 2011 best burgers in the U. P. by Fox 11 News poll. read more

A good old fashioned drive in. No they don't have the best burgers in the state, mid-west, or country, but they are good. Hand formed just like you do on the grill. Cooked a perfect medium. Fries are good basic fries. Fried cheese curds are great! And the sweet potato fries, which were a surprise to see on the menu, are good as well. Staff is friendly and work hard (so, with these prices tip well). I'm disappointed they took the bison burger off the menu. read more

Great food at a good price. This place is like an old-school drive-up where you park and a waiter takes your order and brings your food. Service is usually great. Plenty of parking and there are some picnic tables for eating outside. I HIGHLY recommend a cheeseburger with cheese curds. They use Velveeta for cheese, so the burger is melty and delicious. Not a place for those counting calories. read more

Best burgers in Michigan. Worth the stop whenever we're near Manistique. St Ignace Clide's is almost as good, easier to access but Manistique is the best of the two. read more

Clyde's is a Manistique icon. Best burgers EVER. Get a Big C and some fries with gravy. Thank me later.

Awesome shakes!!! Atmosphere and wall decor were neat, a 50's diner feel. Friendly staff and cool swag!

Cute joint! You can drive up, sit outside, or sit inside! Great Cheeseburger and Cheese curds! Almost like a time capsule of original drive in diners! The service was also superb! read more

Food was decent but came AN HOUR after I ordered, I counted 8 people who ordered after and got food before me. The inside is nice and rustic, the outside looks a little worn down could use a refurbish read more

Picked up a double cheeseburger, got the raw onions instead of the grilled- and a large french fry. The burger was amazing, one of the best I've ever had- I had to peek through the kitchen window to see if Satan himself was cooking this sinfully delicious sandwich! The fries were fresh and good but could have been crispier. Don't miss this place if you're driving through! read more

Clyde's drive-in is the quintessential small town diner. We stopped here before heading home on a 6 hour road trip, and the food really hit the spot! Service: We pulled in and within 1 minute a friendly server came to our car to bring us a menu. She was very attentive and had great recommendations! Food: Honestly everything was really good. The chicken tenders were nice and crunchy and had great flavor and moisture. The curly fries and onion rings were perfectly cooked! The pickle spears were good but my least favorite of the sides, could go without them. My friends enjoyed the cheeseburger and the sirloin steak sandwich. read more

What a wonderful place. Food was wonderful. Service great. Servers very friendly and kept checking up on you.
