Clarksville

About the restaurant

We are a polished casual restaurant that is locally owned. We had a vision to bring exceptional food to Clarksville. We took our years of restaurant experience and developed a menu ambiance and taste like no other in Clarksville. With a spacious concrete bar top that just screams at you to be sat it and eat great food and drink cold beer and watch one of 11 TVs. Guests have the option to sit in the dining room phase of Clyde's that is more for families and date nights, without the distractions of tv's so you may talk as a family and or talk with that first date. The dimness of the restaurant is only so you may decide your lighting at your table with your personal lamp that has four light settings that you can decide on. Set the mood for romance, business or just a friend night. Great Food Exceptional Service Great Ambiance. All we are missing is you! Come see us at Clyde's where the guest experience is #1. The deck overlooking the golf course is a view that is like no other.

Our server, Matt, was well-informed with excellent recommendations & attentive service. The food was very good with great flavor & ample servings. The noise level was a bit loud but manageable.

We recently hosted a ladies' outing for a group of 20 at Back 40, and everything was fantastic! The staff was friendly, attentive, and well-prepared for our large party. The service was smooth and organized, and we never felt rushed or overlooked — which is impressive with such a big group! The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Everyone left full and happy! Back 40 created the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed, fun brunch. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and great experience. Highly recommend for group gatherings or a night out with friends!

Nice place, average food, good customer service. However, second floor is supposed to be Italian cuisine, I’ll be giving a shot next time. Will see if the food there makes it a reoccurring dine-in spot.

Good food and atmosphere, only drawback was the amount of young children, we didn’t mind too much but if you want a nice quiet dinner ask to be seated in the right area where there are less kids.

About the restaurant

Now open!
The Rux offers an elevated experience (and not just because we’re on the roof) with a healthy dose of southern sensibility. Here, refined meets unwind in a way that makes each visit feel special without getting stuffy. The Rux is a gorgeous, special occasion-worthy escape, even when that special occasion is “it’s Tuesday.” Feeling at home even while you’re being a little fancy is our sweet spot. This approachability coupled with an appreciation for the finer things is what sets us apart. We’re sneakers with a slip dress. Fried chicken and a French 75. Stylish? Extremely. Pretentious? Never. So, bring your friends, order something strong, and settle in for an unforgettable night high above Nashville.
