Dropped by in the afternoon for a quick bite to eat. Service was good and friendly. Had two cheese burgers and fries for $10, delicious. My husband had a craft IPA and I had a couple of crushed vodka drinks. All sound great place. Would love to see it when it's pumping.

The food at the new location was as great as I remember it to have always been. So happy Clay’s has reopened on Division; the new place has a casual and fun feel, they have a wonderful outdoor patio, which I will try when it’s over 40 degrees out. The fantastically delicious BBQ, the nice 6 tap draft selection and full bar, make this new Clay’s Smokehouse a five star experience in my book.

Food was exceptional. Staff tries hard but seemed a bit scatter-brained. Had multiple orders forgotten and never placed. Luckily, the entrees made up for it. Special chicken sandwich with fired pickles was a must have. Will definitely go back.

Casual bbq joint in SE. Great patio, decent happy hour deals, and delicious food. Very attentive servers. I had the jalapeño pineapple wings and they are delicious.

It's back! The sauce is tomato-ey and vinegar-ey, with little (if any) sugar. The new location is beautiful. I'm looking forward to warm weather for eating out front.

I got the beef brisket. It was juicy and tasted great. The side of potatoes and baked beans was also good. My wife got the pork lion sandwich and it was decent. Overall very good. They also have good beer selection. Definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to get their BBQ fix.

The service is friendly and efficient. The decor is charming. The food is great. I had the pork loin sandwich with blue cheese and apple sauce. It was tender, moist and flavorful. My husband had the barbeque beef. It must have been perfect because he didn't have to request more sauce. We will return.

Well I can say 100% the ribs were tender as heck! My pork sandwich was delicious but I wish I would of got the applesauce spread. I love the fact there was blue cheese crumbles, my favorite. I am also pleased they used red potatoes instead of french fries. The food came real fast, which is good but I questioned temperature and it was ok. My wife did not like the greens and they kindly replaced it with an additional piece of cornbread. Thank you! Overall, I gave them 4 stars because I felt the food could of been hotter. I would return for sure and pass along the word. Positive environment with great customer service.

We ate here on a Sunday afternoon 1-12-14. I ordered the Combo Platter and my wife ordered the Brisket Platter. Our reasons for a 5 of 5 Stars is because the food was delicious and tender. The waitress and the cooks were very friendly and greeted us when we walked in and when we left. Hearing a "Thank You" when you leave always shows me that the workers value their customers. The BBQ sauce was very tasteful and added a tremendous amount of flavor to all the food on the plate. My plate came with ribs, 1/2 chicken, and hot links sausage. ribs- the meat was so tender it just fell right off the bone and had a rewarding flavor. 1/2 chicken- very moist and it too fell right off the bones. hot links- delicious with a creeping spice. For anyone who loves a little spice in their life, try the hot links. Wife's plate came with a generous amount of sliced brisket. The meat just fell apart and was very delicious. It was so nice to eat so much food without having to muscle through it with a knife... We defiantly recommend this restaurant! Enjoy.

Clay's is back and it has been worth the wait. Their BBQ is of the smoked and sauced variety and is top notch. The new location is just across the street from their old one. Unlike many BBQ places in town, they have some great Vegetarian and Vegan options. Place has a fun vibe that the whole family will love.

Ate here for lunch today, and it was delicious. I had the 'fantastic' Baby Back Ribs! Just the way I like them; fall off the bone when bitten into, and enough sauce but not too much. I would have liked the macaroni and cheese more if it would have been creamier. I highly recommend this place for BBQ - Please think if Clay's Smokehouse Grill when the craving strikes you!

AMAZING food and drinks! The staff is genuinely friendly, the Bar Tender Andrew is incredibly skilled and it has a very laid back atmosphere. We had the brisket and it was the best brisket I've ever had, no joke! Highly reccomend to anyone looking to eat some tasty BBQ and wanting to have a uniquely delicious drink! Looking forward to our next visit to Portland, we will definitley be coming back!

I am SO glad they've reopened! This is as good or better than their previous place, if you happen to remember it as a staple of the neighborhood. If not, all good too. The smoked ribeye is a new menu item and maybe one of the tastiest steaks I've ever eaten. Wings, ribs, mac, cornbread with maple butter, greens, all stuff I'll dream about till I make it back. Pro tip: order wings of the catering menu for every party you have. I did for super bowl this year and they were the first thing gone. THANK YOU FOR REOPENING!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely staff. Improved from the previous location as they have a larger dining room and full bar. Very consistent food. More saucy than smoky bbq. Wish they had beef ribs. But very good.
