I had dinner at the Tyson's Clyde's last Friday night, and we ordered
a full meal with wine, appetizers, entrees and dessert.  Even though
they say their fish is fresh, it's still overcooked and really boring.
Likewise the accompanying vegetables.  The salads and desserts were
overpriced and not very good either.  The wine list, however, is fairly
extensive if somewhat overpriced.  
 
My wife and I agreed that Clyde's is a place to get burgers, sandwiches,
beer, and other simple foods that can't be ruined by college kids in the
kitchen.  The atmosphere really is pretty interesting, and I would go
back anytime for a burger.  But not for a full meal.
