Clyde's Fine Diner, Des Moines IA

We had a great experience! Burgers are delicious! Get the fries with the malt vinegar mayo!

Original review - the Buffalo sweetbreads were amazing! Cocktails and service (and other foods) were great as well.

Updated: we have been multiple times, food and service are always great. We went last night and thoroughly enjoyed our bone marrow, seafood stew, boquerones, and Dover sole piccata.

Fun spot with great service. The shrimp sandwich was amazing- the mojo pork sandwich was not as amazing, but still good. Fries were delicious and side Cesar was great too!
Our table ordered a couple of drinks and the espresso martini was really good!

Excellent food and service, real chill vibe. James Brown spinning on the turntable behind the bar.

Menu was limited, food was good, and the service was great. I found pricing to be on the upper limit

Loved this spot. My favorites were the brussels sprouts, burger, and fries. I appreciate that they have a zero proof drink menu section (albeit small but it is there!) and the “future games” drink I got was delicious. We had a large group and the service was friendly and prompt. Love the upscale diner atmosphere.

One of my favorite lunch and dinner spots. Amazing food & service every time. Great veggie options. I love the grain bowl and the fries are out of this world!

Definitely get dessert! Homemade ice cream or brioche bread pudding with white chocolate and currants.

Wonderful, knowledgeable staff. Unique & delicious twists on familiar foods. All music is played by record on vinyl. Every detail is carefully curated. Beautiful and clean space! Thank you!

We went here as a quicky and just fell in love. So we came back 2 weeks later and confirmed it. The people know their stuff.the food is beyond reproach. Menu changes regularly. I had the oyster special. They were a little small for my liking, but still very tasty.

They open at 4pm but the kitchen doesn’t even open until 5pm… had to wait an hour to even order food and when it came out it was just alright. Honestly just overpriced for what it was and not really worth it in my opinion. Mediocre all around with service too the servers didn’t even keep track of when the kitchens opened to take our orders and we had to flag down a server even after knowing that we had to sit and wait an hour to even place an order. The cheeseburger is $12 and if you want fries it’s an additional $6 for just a handful of fries… though the fries were only good with the sauce. We also had the brownie sundae. If you want a stale brownie with somewhat okay ice cream for $12 go here. I’d say save your money and go elsewhere. Soooooo overpriced, won’t be returning.

Location feels open and clean. The food and service were absolutely amazing. I didn’t have a cocktail but looking at the care that went in to making them I wouldn’t be surprised if they were excellent. Prices are more than reasonable and if you enjoy Brussels sprouts this would be the spot to have some! If you find yourself near this location definitely go in and enjoy!

Dinner out with adult children, an enjoyable atmosphere that created a great gathering place. The food was excellent, and our waitress was attentive. Highly recommended

Fantastic food in a fun environment. The burger was amazing and the sauce for the fries was glorious. As you can see my son loved the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with soft serve.

Best brussel sprouts in DSM! Even if you're not the biggest brussel sprouts fan, you should give them a try. I've never had a cocktail or dish I didn't like here, and the staff is amazing!
