Clark's Barbecue

YES! My Daughter was right! This is an amazing place with great food. I now understand why a friend here for only 3 days went there to eat twice.We arrived around 11:00 and there was already a good crowd. My allergies started acting up and I realized it was because of the smoke from cooking. (It was worth it.) Service was great even though I could tell she was in the weeds. Daily special was meatloaf and I was tempted, but I can make it and cannot make barbecue. Barbecue portions were large and I loved their sauce and added some hot sauce on top. Yum! I won't order Mac and cheese in the future because it was mushy and lacking in cheese. I highly recommend this restaurant. I was Very tempted to get peach cobbler. The price was a little too high in my opinion and it's not like I was hungry afterwards. Doggy bag please.

A "nothing fancy" place with great barbecue! Lots of side dish choices and all the ones we tried were good. Wait staff was very friendly, no wait to be seated and quick food delivery. We'd definitely eat here again.

First visit, came here for lunch. Place was hoppin', yet service was still good.I had the pork plate (chopped course) barbecue coleslaw, and baked beans. The pork had pretty good flavor, but, for me, their vinegar based sauce was a huge miss.I was not a fan of the barbecue coleslaw either, which is made with the same funky bbq sauce. The beans were fine. The side of hush puppies, which looked like onion rings, we're actually very tasty. The inside of the restaurant was old school and not in the best shape, but it was clean.

Clark's BBQ has been operating for 30 years or so now, and the quality remains topnotch - in the Pork BBQ, the weekend BBQ Chicken, salads, their Burgers and Hot Dogs, and the daily country cooking specials posted on the chalk boards. They used to serve a mean Southern breakfast, but sadly no more.They produce excellent Lexington style pork barbecue, from shoulders cooked over hard wood coals. The way to order it, IMHO, is the coarse chopped version, either sandwich or plate. I always order the sliced or the coarsed chopped BBQ because, and that gives you the most smokiness, and with the coarsed you usual get some outside brown and a taste of the rub applied at the beginning of the cooking process. This is very good pig, and to equal or exceed the taste you have to go to Lexington or Shelby, though Stamy's whole shoulder comes very close. And they have more to offer: real BBQ Chicken on Fri and Sat, cooked as the pork is, no sweet red sauce in sight; excellent Hot Dogs, up there with the very best in the area (it starts with the great chili); and the Chili Cheeseburger is right there for the same reason; the Grilled Chicken Salad is also very nice; as are the country cooking daily specials, especially the Country Style Steak, though the amount of steak is small; the circular Hush Puppies do not disappoint, has a slight taste of onion; and the Fried Okra is also among the best.The service can be a bit spotty at peak times, and this has shown up more since COVID. The prices are very reasonable, just another reason to EAT MORE PIG111

Food was good! Service was fantastic! Place is a total dive which is why only 3 stars. Sticky tables, bottles, walls, gross floors and just overall dingy. But, some of the best food is found in dive joints. We had pork sandwiches and a French fry basket. Our sweet server brought out homemade ranch dressing for dipping, that was a nice treat! Cheap lunch, if you can get past the lack of cleanliness, then this is a decent place to stop for a quick, tasty, filling meal served with a smile.

Ordered take out - simple cheeseburger with tomato onion pickle catchup. Ordered fries and slaw. Received no fries no tomato they added lettuce and mustard. O ercooked taseted gritty and just bad. Never expected or experienced this before all after verbal assurance the order had been checked . Got a gross amount of coleslaw tho. Won't be back after being long time customer.

We just happened by and thought BBQsounded good. This place is phenomenal!The service was friendly and fast. The menu has variety and the meat is pit-cooked on site. The sides are homemade and delish!We started with some mozzarella sticks. They were perfect & cheesy!I got the brisket with Lima beans and stewed potatoes. The brisket was tender and perfect. They serve a homemade sauce on the side. It was tangy and a little spicy! The hush puppies were perfectly fried!My husband had the pulled pork with crinkle cut fries and baked beans. The pork was tender and so moist. Again, sauce was served on the side.We shared an extra side of Mac & cheese. It was baked perfect.The meat for both was so flavorful that no sauce is needed, but the sauce was so good we had to use some!Definitely recommend!

They have great food - variety over and above their BBQI love love the lunch specials.Service is very good as well

I have been there 4 times each time no ribs and out of cobbler and banana pudding today. We ordered 3 meals and an app. to go. We got home and was missing the app and 1 meal and 1 side. Had to drive 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back there to get the missing food. It was not busy when we ordered, only 6 customers were there, 1 server and 1 cashier. Sorry... we and our business up the street will go to Prissy Polly's, no more Clark's mess

So I tried Clark's today for lunch. The sweet tea was the best item that hit the table. Service was great. I had the course chopped plate. The Q was ok at best. It was dry but had plenty of smoke flavor. The red slaw tasted like straight ketchup not very good. Okra was good. The hush puppies were ok. The dip on the table saved the day for the Q. There are tons of options around the triad area for Q. Taste this for yourself you may love it just not my cup of tea. 4 star experience Service was great, order was correct, food was hot. I don't give bad stars for flavors of food unless it's just bad food. The experience was good just not the flavors I like.
