Clay’s Smokehouse - Milwaukie

First trip since Clay 's relocation to King Rd. The new location has a bunch of perks- parking lot, nice building, comfy warm dining area. Order at the counter, limited menu- but ribs chicken are the more popular items, who can complain? Decent selection of bevys in a conviently located fridge. Had the combo plate w/ slaw beans. Came with a nice bit of cornbread sweetened butter pickles. The smoke was perfect, the sauce had good heat the rub had great flavor. 10 out of 10. I loved the beans, homemade and just a bit spicy. Slaw was just boring, actually kinda a nice juxtapose to the other items. Hubby says , mention the napkins! They are up to the task, a real plus. I think this is OK style BBQ, and in my opinion, the Sooner state has some good 'Q!

Not sure I've eaten in a quonset hut before. They're not doing lunch anymore, so the full dinner box had me stuffed. Ribs were tender with a fine rub and smoke. Chicken tasty but sees endemic for bbqd restaurant meat to be just a bit soft. Deep fried poet wedges top notch. I'm pretty picky about cornbread but theirs is a pretty good. Mac and cheese a little dry. Fun selection of canned beverages.

Hands down, some of the best brisket I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot of good brisket. I’m a Texas native and before moving to Oregon I lived in Louisiana for 12 years. I was just starting to accept that I would never find local BBQ as good as where I’m from. But I have to say Clay’s brisket and bbq sauce rivals with the best of them. Thanks and we’ll be back!

Amazing food and service. Always drove by this place and wondered about it. Finally went with my friends and we where all blown away. The level of customer service was outstanding and the quality of the food was perfect. The little things like toasting the buns in the sandwiches made it all that much better. The food came out crazy quick and Bill came out to check on us multiple times to see if everything was going good. We will all definitely come back! Thank you Bill and Sherry!

Best BBQ I've had in awhile!! So flavorful even without sauce, and super fast. You can order to go or eat in, and the people are super nice. Not too pricey either for some quality BBQ. I definitely recommend this to anyone that hasn't been.
