Yes! More vegetarian options in the big city of Manistique. We may not have a McDonalds (thank goodness!) but we have a Clyde's. Eating a plant based diet is challenging and I refuse to eat nasty tasting "wanna-be meat." Their new veggie burger was truly scrumptious. Whether you are eating plant based for health reasons, environmental reasons or for the ethical treatment of animals, Clyde's veggie burger is a truly lovely indulgence in their authentic drive in on the west side of town.
Our favorite burger joint, we often incorporated a burger from Clyde's into celebrations! We make the one hour drive and have a burger and deep fried pickles for birthdays and anniversaries. Such a neat little restaurant with good old fashioned food.
Mom & I think it’s our Best burger 🍔 EVER! Cool to see them prepare food right in front of you. They have A LOT on the menu to choose from & super reasonable with their prices! Super staff, super friendly & “entertaining”. You go to Manistique, stop on in! Can’t wait to go back & also try the St.Ignace location.
My hubby had the olive burger and was impressed. He compares burgers and this was top notch. I had the perch basket and especially liked their batter...not the cheap fluffy kind most other places use. Fries and malt were great!
The delicious burgers at Clyde's Restaurant are truly exceptional ~much better than the kind you get at fast food chain restaruants. The friendly folks at Clyde's take pride in serving the very best...and there's no extra charge for the friendly smiles either!
They have awesome food. Best burgers around! Never had a complaint and it's fast with great service.
Clyde’s by far has the best burger in the U.P.. I think I’ve been eating there since getting up there in the mid 70s. Always look forward to swinging by whenever we’re in town.
Americana served on wax paper in a basket. Couldn't not ask for a better burger and hot dog. The staff is personable and light hearted. Will definitely be back!
Great drive-in cheeseburgers! Cheddar jalapeno poppers are good, too!
Excellent burgers! Great place to stop for a quick bite to eat!
Just great good food taste and good job serving and drive
Better than fast food! Big C burger- 3/4 lb! Big enough to split.
The burgers were very fresh and tasty! I haven't had a tomato on a burger taste so fresh except at home. The fries were crisp in the outskirts de and perfect on the inside. Friendly staff!
Clyde's Drive In, in Manistique is the best Clyde's around! Great food, people, and atmosphere! Keep up the great work! You guys are awesome and don't let one critic/fool change the way things are. Don't fix what isn't broken! Love the burgers!
OK...but needs help.... I remember when Clyde's was "Thee Place to Be" and people travelled from all over to eat there, well not so much now. My pizza burger was raw the other night, the bubble butted waitress as rude...but I still like the place. Their "Big C" used to be bigger, but Cliff (the owner) says it was actually smaller...I kinda doubt that...this place recently won best burger in the UP...I still like it though, but they could used a food network type show make over...
Located off the Beaten Path but Worth looking for!
Best Burger in Da UP. With three locations in the UP this is my favorite as a local hang out and the Big C burger can't be beat.
This place is a throwback from yesteryear. Your typical greasy spoon diner. You don't find many old school places to eat anymore. Cheeseburger was terrific! Fries were perfect! Chocolate milkshake was terrible. The staff, even though busy was friendly, excellent service. Plenty of parking and plenty of outdoor seating, plus counter seating inside too. Even though the milkshake was a dud, the food was great!
Clyde’s was well promoted before we tried it and it did not disappoint. Both of my 17-year-old sons tried the famous cheeseburger and agrees it was the best in the UP! Our celiac guess was able to order GF chicken finger and fires because they have a dedicated fryer - all in all, a great choice!
What a great find! Driving through from a family vacation and needed a quick dinner. Great burger. Raspberry shake is awesome. Coleslaw was wonderful. We will definitely come back if we come through again. Thank you so much!
Small drive- in with delicious food in Manistique, there's also one just before Mac Bridge on US-2.Never disappointed with either one, just be ready to wait 'cuz they are both usually busy at lunch & dinner during tourist season...I had the fresh walleye basket. So good!
Such a great local "dive" - I don't use that word lightly. 😀 Service was great, old-school ambiance and menu made it worth the stop. The cherry milkshake is AWESOME!
Clyde’s never disappoints, first time at this store when vacationing in yupperland. Very good food again today. Very busy at 3pm on a Sunday and the server kept up with everyone and the food come out decently quick and hot.
I know I’m late to posting this review but better late than never! My boyfriend and I decided to head up to the UP for our first ever trip as a couple, and on our first night there we wanted something quick and easy to eat. We decided to try Clyde’s and i swear we had our third eye opened. It was so good we stopped back for breakfast our last day!
Stopped in for take out after reading reviews. Glad we did. The reviews were not wrong. Great burgers and coleslaw! You can eat inside at the counter, or there is outside seating. If you want a great burger in Manistque, skip Big Boy and head to Clyde's! If you don't, you're missing out.
Everything was awesome! Down to the service and food. We always stop when we come thur town!
Great place to stop, loves the outdoor seating to hang with the dog and enjoy the great weather! The burgers were huge and very good! I really love old school places like this!
If you're in Manistique, make sure to stop by Clyde's for dinner! All of their options are wonderful, including delicious hand made shakes, but their Big-C burger is where it's really at. It's busy in the summer but definitely worth the wait. Not to mention, the staff is all incredibly kind and friendly too!!
First time stopping in here after some friends told us about it. One of the best burger joints in the UP. Definitely well portioned servings, you won't leave hungry! Everything was great from the Fries with Gravy, to the cheese curds, to the made in front of you burgers (if you dine in). Staff is incredibly friendly and takes care of customers quickly and efficiently. We will return again!
Great place with classic and quality diner/fast food! Can’t miss the curly fries. The chicken tenders were nice and crispy, and my friends enjoyed the cheeseburger and sirloin burgers! We also really enjoyed the onion rings. The pickles spears were also good but could go without them.
Best drive in that I've been to in a long time. Walleye fish was awesome The kids meals were over the top awesome served in old timer vehicles. The grilled cheese sandwich was too gooey and too cheesy.
The value and the deliciousness can’t be beat. Places like this are what we love about the UP. A huge, delicious, hand made burger patty for $5. Nice people working here. A real throwback gem. If you’re ballin on a budget, this is the place you wanna eat.
Great food at great prices with great service. Always ensure I stop when in the area. Love the big C burger with lots of olives. 😀 got the olive burger cause my fav. Great service.
Clyde's is the one place in the UP that consistently delivers. Burgers are nothing special but oh so delicious. Oh yeah...did I mention how good the burgers are? Also the jr burger is a pretty good deal.
Excellent smash burger style burger & delicious fries!
