![]() ![]() If you’re on a one hour lunch, you better eat fast, because the wait time for the line can go for almost 15 minutes. There has been a line of at least 10-15 people EVERY time I’ve been here. The longest wait time for any BBQ restaurant in the area. Not the cleanest of places to eat, but with food this good, you don’t really notice… All three are great, and the Hot is not over the top… Three choices: Mild, Medium (Mustard based) & Hot. The meat tasted exceptional, although we only ordered chopped pork. ![]() Very similar to many of the smaller BBQ restaurants in Columbus/PC area. The menu is thorough, simple and easy to read. Menu variety, meat choices and taste of meat: 9.5 Overall, the staff is very nice, and the owner was very pleased to tell the story of the restaurant. With as many people that cram in the place, and the small rooms, it make perfect sense to do it like that. The only interaction that you’ll have with any of the restaurant’s employees is the order taker, and the person that calls your name with your order when it’s ready. Everything is self-serve and there are no waiters/waitresses that come to your table. ![]() The staff work in the kitchen and the pit, and there is one employee that brings the orders from the kitchen to the lobby for customers to pick up. They have the radio tuned to a local country station and play it on speakers hanging all over the restaurant- something that none of the previous BBQ restaurants I’ve eaten at do, and I think it’s a nice touch. They have won many Ledger-Enquirer awards over the years, and they are on display all over the restaurant. ![]() There are plenty of booths and tables to sit in the front, side and back. The décor inside reminds one of a southern grandparent’s home, or a Cracker Barrel restaurant, lots of country crafts. Outside, the sign near River road is bright and easy to see. The parking lot is dirt gravel and there are places to park on the street next to the restaurant if needed. The building and parking lot are easily accessible from River Road. I’m giving it the following grades on 1-10 basis: Missi also stated that at one time, the building used to be a gas station. When I asked Missi what is the one thing that has helped her business over the years, she said the great employees that she and Bill had the chance to work with. They have 7 total employees, two of which have been employed by the owners for over 13 years. Bill is Missi’s father, and they have jointly owned/operated the restaurant since 2000. The restaurant is owned by Missi Jones & Bill McLemore. To-Go, I ordered a Q-Tater, which is a baked potato with chopped BBQ pork meat on top for $4.75. My wife ordered a regular chopped pork sandwich for $2.25. I ordered the large pork plate with baked beans & Brunswick stew for $7.45. When someone unfamiliar with the restaurant first walks in, they may be concerned there isn’t anywhere to sit but there are plenty of places to find a seat. There are three areas to sit: a large main room in the front, a couple booths next to the line, and a back area behind the kitchen. I thought there would be less people due to the holiday, but there were just as many people waiting in line as there is during the week for lunch. There is always a line to order food, which is a good sign. We wanted to get a good BBQ meal before watching college football, and enjoying the New Year’s Eve festivities. They need to revamp their service all together in my opinion.My wife and I went to Clearview BBQ around 12:30PM on Saturday, December 31, 2016. I asked for center chipped BBQ and hard burnt meat was what was served. The BBQ felt as chipped up bones were in the meat. Worth to stop by and pick up a sandwich or two if you haven’t tried it." They have some good prices for some great food. someone should probally put an atm in the lobby." Sweet tea is the best in town!!! I'll always use this place for get togethers and stuff prices are very reasonable but they only take cash. "Way ran down from what it was years ago. Spread Cole Slaw on it and WOW what a dog. Absolutely a must try if you've never been. You won't find a better BBQ sandwich for the price in town, they're not skimpy with the meat, slaw, pickle and sauce. ![]()
