Clearview BBQ

Amazing. I’m so happy they are back open and the new owners have done an wonderful job cleaning the place up and opening up more seating.

This is a real find. Five ribs plus slaw. Prices unbelievable. Everyone is friendly, including customers. Can’t beat it. This is a keeper.

You would miss this place if you weren’t searching for it, yet the bbq “chipped” sandwiches are something you wouldn’t want to miss out on! Super cheap for one or a huge group. I got a large chipped sandwich for around 3, and it was great! They give you the option of adding slaw and pickles in your sandwich too if you want. We also tried the stew and the potato salad, and both were delicious. The wait was about 15 minutes, which was not bad at all considering there were lots of people placing orders over the phone and in the restaurant. The staff were very nice and efficient. Just be sure to bring cash, as they don’t take cards. I only wish we had a Clearview BBQ where we live! Thanks for a great lunch.

Very impressed with the amount of food for the price. Very clean and cozy inside. Very friendly staff. Food was great. Will be back.

Thought it was gonna be over priced till I seen the size of the tendors an a full plate of fries . Wasn’t by any means greasy . Over all a great place to eat . Recommend

The original Clearview was known for the quality of its pulled pork, and the new ownership is 100% continuing that legacy. Food was great, very reasonably priced, and served quickly. The large sandwich is mislabeled, should probably read "big honkin'". I tried the Yellow Jacket sauce, and I'm convinced it helped me get a faster split pace on the Riverwalk later that afternoon (it was also tasty). So if you're craving a pulled pork sammich the size of a Honda Accord front tire, made and served by good folks, you should definitely go to Clearview.

I had the very great honor of joining a small group that was invited in to taste the menu items and get a sneak preview on what can be expected when they open back up for business very soon. First off, the place used to be a rundown shack. Chris Dixon and his family have come in and completely overhauled the place and brought it in to this decade. It is now a crisp and clean restaurant that is almost ready to open its doors. Yet it still maintains the character that the old place had. As before, you will place your order at the counter and then you can sit in one of the two rooms to eat. This is not a large place. There are somewhere around 14 tables in the two rooms where you can dine. I never had been there prior to this visit, but my understanding is that Clearview barbecue was in business for decades. And it seems like people cannot wait for them to open up again. Believe me, when I say that you will be in for a treat. The menu has something on it for everyone. I got to try a chipped barbecue sandwich as an appetizer when we first walked in and then we were allowed to order off of the menu . They are trying to make sure they have any kinks worked out before they open the doors to the public again. I ordered a medium barbecue plate with potato salad and Brunswick stew. I got the meat chopped. It was fantastic. The smoky flavor was perfect and it was incredibly moist and tender. And the portion size was amazing. The Brunswick stew was full of flavor. I’m sure I could have eaten a quart of that alone. It was so good. I believe they will continue to have the Clearview barbecue sauce that was served there before. But in addition to that they will also serve the yellow jacket barbecue sauce that is a family recipe. Both sauces are amazing and come in mild or hot. In the end, they came around with trays with peanut butter pie and pecan pie. My friend that I was there with agreed with me that the peanut butter pie was some of the best that we had ever tasted. It was very light and airy but full of flavor. I have no doubt that people will continue to get the same amazing food that Clearview barbecue has been known for these past many decades. I would highly recommend that you come in as soon as the doors open. You will be glad that you did.

Thank God they opened back. I've been eating their food since the 80's. Always delicious. Great barbecue, chicken, Brunswick stew is better than anywhere in Columbus, and their scrambled dogs and dumpster dogs are delicious. And very good sweet tea!
