Review Source:Clearly we do not fully understand the concept of living a few days in nature. While all of our fellow campers were cooking up their S'mores, hot dogs and burgers around lovely campfires... We secretly snuck off the campsite to have dinner about ten minutes down the road @ Oinkers (pitiful, I know).
The staff here are so nice it makes it difficult to rate the food. Nobody wants to go to someones house (who is an excellent host) and complain about the food. On the one hand you have fast friendly service, but on the other hand the food was less than ideal. I've seen this place many times, because we travel this road often to visit Gatlinburg. However, every time we wanted to stop for a meal they seemed to be closed or PACKED! This place has a strong following, and is known to be the best BBQ in Clayton. That being said, here's my review:
BBQ RIBS - This will say it all... I ordered the 4 bone rib plate and had three bones remaining on the plate when we checked out. The sauce was great and they offer several heat varieties in bottles on your table. That's the good news. The bad news is they boil their ribs first (from what I can tell), which often is not the tastiest way to cook this delicious animal. The ribs here have that gray color to the meat associated with boiling and have very little if any smoke or grilled flavor. My guess is they would be flavorless without the sauce, but even with the sauce they are not particularly good.
EVERYTHING ELSE (fantail shrimp, steak cut fries, onion rings, and chicken nuggets and grilled cheese) were not very good. Most of the food we sampled tasted like pre-packaged frozen items that you could pick up from any grocery store. Â
Our waitress was AWESOME and so were the other staff. She enthusiastically asked us how we enjoyed our meal  with a look of such high expectation, we chose to stick with a stock answer of "everything was great". What can I say, this may very well be the best BBQ in the area... So what kinda guy would I be to shatter their world... LOL
We love to ear here! Â My husband thinks they have some of the best BBQ! Â The staff is always extremely nice and on top of service. Â It's one of those places where they call you by name if you go more than once or twice. Â Very casual, locally owned, definitely not a touristy/chain type place. Â Prices are very reasonable for the portions you receive...if you leave hungry it's your own fault;-). Give it a try!
Review Source:The food was pretty good. Â Not the best BBQ I have ever had but certainly tasty. Â The biggest problem was the horrendous service. Â We sat for a long time before anyone even took our drink order. Â This was while we watched others seated after us being served. Â Perhaps, we had a bad waitress, but it was very poor service.
Review Source:Great locally owned BBQ restaurant. The BBQ was great. They have 3 different sauces - hot, mild and sweet rib. The sweet is the best. This sauce is what they baste the ribs in, which are served at dinner only. This is a very casual restaurant that the locals love. When you see that many local cars in the parking lot you know it has to be good.
Review Source:I cant confirm this is the best bbq in Clayton but it is definitely good stuff. Â I sat down in the simple dining room and was greeted and had a coke within 1 minute. Â Once I ordered, I waited about 2 minutes for my bbq sandwich, slaw and onion rings.
The food was good, plain chopped pork with a few sauce variations. Â The prices were very affordable and the service was top of the line.
I will go back if I am in Clayton again.
