Clyde's Tower Oaks Lodge

Stopped by Clyde’s at Tower Oaks for happy hour on a Thursday after work, and it was the perfect spot to unwind and catch up with a friend. The restaurant has a really charming American cottage-style vibe — warm, cozy, and classic, with a polished but comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to linger. It feels welcoming without being overly formal, which works especially well for a casual happy hour. There’s also a large parking lot, which makes getting there easy and stress-free compared to many busy dining areas nearby. We came specifically for their happy hour oyster specials, and they did not disappoint. The oysters were fresh, clean, and well-shucked — exactly what you want when ordering raw oysters. We also ordered cocktail shrimp, a glass of Chardonnay, and French fries, which

I really love this place, and reservations are highly recommended if you plan to visit. It feels very different from their other locations, such as Friendship Heights or Georgetown. This location has a cozy, rustic vibe—almost like visiting your uncle’s mountain cabin—and it’s usually very crowded, which speaks to its popularity. The food has generally been excellent. On my first visit, I ordered the Reuben sandwich, which was impressively large and generously portioned, priced around $18–$20. My mom ordered the club sandwich, and we shared the pumpkin cheesecake, which was outstanding. I enjoyed the experience so much that I invited my family to come back during the holiday week before Christmas. Unfortunately, on that return visit, I was disappointed to find that the Reuben sandwich had

The only place in Rockville I would revisit over and over again. Great place to treat guests and celebrate milestones. Treated my mom and sister and they absolutely loved it. The ambiance, service and food was all great. Mussels were delicious Octopus was also a great choice, it came with crispy bread crumbs and well cooked crispy potatoes. Meatloaf was the only one I was not fond of. Liked the sides it came with but the meatloaf had herbs which I didn’t like. It was not very moist nor special. Will not get it next time. Bread pudding with ice cream was one of the best dessert I had this year. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed Clyde’s and we will come back to try more items on the menu!

Had thanksgiving dinner here and let me tell you- the food was amazing! We opted for the pre-fixe menu. Food came out really quickly. The ham and turkey were just perfect. The drinks were also great. Ambience is pretty with the lights. Service was in point! For our first time we were very impressed and will definitely return

One of the better dining options in Rockville, MD. Been coming here for close to 20 years. Was mad when Clyde’s was sold couple years ago and then they changed their menus (no more happy hour, bar and late night menus), got rid of their head chef (Jeff) and made other changes. I used to frequent weekly but now only a few times a year. The food is still good though and it’s probably a handful of upscale American restaurants in Rockville. Among my favorites are their buffalo wings (order them double dipped), burger, Reuben sandwich, steaks, crab cakes and when they have it their lobster specials.
