What User likes about Yankee Clipper:
Never had the steak sandwich at The Clipper....told Jackie to leave the bread....Matt cooked an excellent steak rivaling the taste and quality of an Outback cut of meat. Always great food!!! So I eased on up to the joint. Had a bowl of chicken tortilla soup and some wings to go. Tasty as usual. Clean kitchen. I appreciate a clean space. I took what I could of the wings then Nola Birds finished them off. Look at her f... View all feedback. What Sara Vinciguerra doesn't like about Yankee Clipper:
Bad business. Why have taco Tuesday on trivia night when it’s one of the busiest nights here. Waitresses are completely rude. Legit told us “you have 2 minutes or no food” as it was 7:30 and didn’t close til 8. THEN the girl ignored the rest of the time and was short and rude with us. Seen her here many times and never a pleasant encounter. Need to have one bartender behind the bar. And multiple waitresses. Not that... View all feedback.

The Clipper offers an enticing Taco Tuesday, attracting many for its delicious tacos and lively atmosphere. However, guests have reported inconsistent service, with instances of rude waitstaff and chaotic bartending amidst busy nights. While some diners praise the tasty food and friendly staff, others complain about excessive noise levels and unwelcoming experiences, particularly on popular music bingo nights. Despite these drawbacks, many are drawn back by the promise of satisfying tacos and a charming dive bar ambiance. If you're considering a visit, perhaps time your arrival wisely and appreciate the tacos while navigating the service unpredictability.

Taco Tuesdays are the best here. they come early as at 11 o'clock, or they will probably not get a place. 1 taco is all they need.
