Airport dining has seen an exponential leap; no longer the stuff of desperation meals on the go, travelers can now look forward to dining at quality concepts with superior food. Dulles International Airport is continuing the evolution of airport eats by welcoming Clyde’s, a DMV-area favorite bar and restaurant, reports the Washington Business Journal.
The eatery, which will strive to bring an American tavern experience to hungry flyers, will be taking over an existing storefront space in the 1 Saarinen Cir transportation hub, though precisely which one remains to be announced. Similarly nebulous? An opening timeline. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority declined to project a debut date for Clyde’s, owing to the uncertain nature of construction and development.
Clyde’s has been a DC institution since its opening in 1963. The concept now has six locations, anchored by its founding principals: “Clyde’s is a family of restaurants born from a sincere belief that great dining begins with fresh ingredients, friendly people, and an unforgettable atmosphere. We were one of the first in Washington to feature “locally-raised” and “sustainable” foods. In addition to our local and farm-grown produce, our legendary burgers are made using hormone-free, farm-raised beef, and our chicken is antibiotic-free and hormone-free.”
