Clyde’s at Mark Center: A Must-Visit Destination for American Seafood and Casual Dining

I had lunch here on a random weekday and it definitely has a different vibe than any other Clyde’s I’ve visited. The food was good, largely the same as other locations. At noon on a weekday, the crowd was mostly older/retirees. We both got salads that were a good size and delicious. Our server was also very personable and the price was fine for a lunch for two inside the beltway. I would probably try somewhere else next time but I did really like the food.

This restaurant has everything! Great cozy atmosphere, rustic and elegant at the same time, plus excellent service and fantastic food! Several different dining rooms/bars with completely different vibes with stunning decorations. The food was exquisite and the service and staff were amazing. Ken, our server, went above and beyond with the service, very friendly and attentive to our requests. We asked him to split two of our dishes and they served them in separate plates with full presentation. We are tea lovers, and we were happily surprised when they brough cute tea sets including a teapot for each one of us. We highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable, high-quality dining experience. We will be back the next time we visit Alexandria!

First time at this Clyde's restaurant. Huge parking lot, which is always nice. We were a party of 5 at a bench table, which felt cramped. The waitress was new but did and dud an okay job just didn't have a lot of knowledge about the menu or drinks, I've had worse. Sitting next to the fireplace is not recommended unless you like sweating while you eat and drink. The food was amazing! We started with crab dip and Brussels, yummy. I had the trout, melted in my mouth and my buddy had steak and fries, which he said was also amazing. We had old fashions for drinks, missing sugar or something, not all that tasty. Good place for maybe small groups or up to 4 per table, the inside decor was very fun, service was new but ok, food was delicious with a wide variety but old fashion needs a little work. Would definitely go back, just order something different to drink.

Had a wonderful dinner at Clyde’s. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious. Everything was perfectly timed and enjoyable. Always a solid choice—we’ll be back.

The food never disappoints (sorry I forgot to take pictures). We had calamari to share. Then, the filet mignon, the rockfish and the baby back ribs. We finished with a brownie sundae and a creme brulee. Everything was exquisite, no complaints at all. 5 stars on the food! Our server on the other hand, was less than attentive or friendly at all which was a downer. He forgot our drinks, we had to ask for water refill because he didn't even do that. The only time he came more than once was about the bill. I understand that it's hard to be working on New Year's Eve but if you must, then, make the most of it. The place was not even that busy at 7pm so it couldn't have been that. We still chose to enjoy our night and we will likely return for the food and the atmosphere.

This place felt like a really nice country themed lodge. The fireplace and wooden theme throughout the restaurant looked great. Our waitress was very helpful and gave my group of 3 suggestions which we ordered and every one of them were perfect. The meatloaf was one of the best I've ever had, cannot wait to come back to this place someday!

Ate lunch here for the first time after my wife’s doctor’s appt in the area. The atmosphere was very rustic but cool. The coy pond out front is beautiful. There were so many different things to look at. The restaurant was very clean and inviting. The service was great. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my wife the half chicken. Both dishes were delicious. If I were to have any critique it would be the portions are a bit small for the price and they serve no bread on the side. Any type of extra is an additional charge. If we happen to be in the area again we will definitely be back, maybe next time for dinner.

We recently hosted a nautical-themed dual retirement celebration at Clyde’s at Mark Center, and our experience from start to finish was exceptional. Working with their event manager, Sean Applegate, made the entire planning process incredibly smooth. Sean’s flexibility with the layout, attention to our specific menu requests, and overall responsiveness helped our team look fantastic in front of our client. On the day of the event, the entire staff—from the bar team to the servers—was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were warm, professional, and clearly excellent at what they do. Sean was, of course, on top of everything throughout the evening and went above and beyond multiple times to make sure the event ran seamlessly. I can’t recommend this Clyde’s location enough for hosting an event. And when you book—make sure you ask for Sean. He’s the best.
