Reviews for Clay’s Smokehouse in Milwaukie, OR

This is a low key place that makes the best restaurant BBQ I've tasted since I left TN! If you like true southern smoked BBQ... ribs, brisket, and chicken or pulled pork with fresh potato salad and southern style baked beans, potatoes wedges corn breadetc. They have it! Delicious. The portions are generous. Read more

Barbecue is not my favorite type of food but this evening I didn?t want to cook. As I got closer to Clays on King Rd I saw the... outdoor lights so decided to stop due to this businesses curb appeal. I am a new customer and will tell all my people about thiswonderful restaurant, the food was amazing. I loved the coleslaw as it didn?t have a mayonnaise type dressing, it was differentbut very good. The chicken was well cooked but not dry, the Mac and cheese was very tasty and the corn bread just as deliciousas my Mississippi mother?s cornbread. Only issue is allot of folks I know including myself did not know this restaurant was openand because of a tree there is a sign that is not visible from King Road. Read more

As with every restaurant it is a highly competitive business and some people go out to eat to find the best places and some... people may not care but as a critic of taste, texture, and temperature this restaurant gets 4 stars. Their isn?t a oh wow 5star review brand to this restaurant. I have tried other places for brisket and this restaurant comes close to being amazingbut right now to me it is pretty cliche. 4 star review. Read more

They continue to impress me with the flavor and taste!! The service is always incredible friendly, attentive and kind. Every... time I eat here the food is so good! The meat is smokey and juicy- fall off the bone type stuff. Their BBQ sauce is my favoritetoo. The key lime pie is a must too. You have to stop by and try some of their food if you?re in the area, or get your eventcatered through them! Clays Smokehouse is the best BBQ in Portland hands down Read more

Great place. Everything we had we greatly enjoyed. We got the combo box ribs and chicken and brisket box. Side were collard... greens, potato salad, potato wedges baked beans. Went back and ordered Mac and cheese for our son. Definitely going back toenjoy more. Also the sauce is awesome Read more

I loved Clay's when they were on Division back when dinosaurs roamed the two-lane, East-West arterial, before it was gentrified... into the heinous mass it is now. It's since relocated to Milwaukie, under new ownership, but still making amazing barbecue! Theribs are unstoppable, the greens are vegetarian but they are tasty as hell, the atmosphere is quaint and neighborly, and youcannot miss a chance for some of the best Key Lime Pie I've had in the Portland metro. Go to Clay's. Read more

We just moved in a few minutes away from Clay?s and we knew we wanted to try it as soon as we drove by. We got ribs, mac and... cheese, potato wedges, wings, and a brisket sandwich. Everything tasted delicious ? just like you want some barbecue to be! Theservice was kind and fast too for the order called in and picked up. My wife and in-laws enjoyed everything as well. We willdefinitely be making future visits to Clay?s. Read more
