Clyde's to Get Makeover, Starting in January

The lakefront restaurant will be getting its first renovations in 25 years, according to its president.

Clyde's has been a staple of the Columbia lakefront for more than 30 years, which is why Tom Meyer says the location is long overdue for a makeover. Meyer, president of Clyde's Restaurant Group, told Patch the restaurant will be on a new lease and will see several changes from renovations starting in late January. "It has been over 25 years since we were able to renovate the place, and we just needed to do it," Meyer said. The specifics of the renovation have not been finalized, but he gave a hint at what changes are coming. "Basically, we're going to completely redo the men's and women's rooms, we're going to do some work behind the scenes in the kitchen and the floors," Meyer said. "It's going to be very fresh and nice when we re-open." …

I went to Clyde's the first week it opened in Columbia. Too bad the quality of the food served today doesn't match what it use to be or that found in the newer Clyde's restaurants. That is where I would like to see the improvement.   more ›

Last year was my last WITW as well, only because I've never seen a larger gathering of sloppy drunk riff-raff. It used to be sophisticated event, now it's an event wholly unbecoming of what Howard County strives to be. You may be onto something- it's so expensive people feel they need to get sloshed to get their money's worth. Wait until there's a WITW driving fatality.   more ›
