I'm sorry I must take out my food due to COVID, but it's not a real inconvenience because the BBQ is SO good. I've eaten at their earlier location and now here for 30+ years. I've taken slabs of ribs home for parties. The sides are also great, and the people are welcoming and kind. Clay's is a Springfield institution because the Clay family can cook! It's a must visit.

I ordered the lunch special, and while I'm not usually a fan of rib tips, they turned out to be really good. But what I absolutely loved was the pulled pork—it was incredibly delicious! I chose the medium sauce, which had a pleasant kick to it; next time, I think I'll go for the hot sauce. I will definitely be ordering more of that pulled pork!
In Springfield for whatever reason. You must treat urself too Clay's Popeye's Bbq. What a burst of flavor. Meat was so tender, sauce spectacular. The customer service was exceptional. Price just right.
Loved the pulled pork sandwich but... The coleslaw tasted like someone poured sugar in it. The potato salad didn't look like potato salad; it looked like yellow baby food. Book a table now
The BBQ is fantastic and has been passed down through generations before the Clays acquired it. Please note that there is a small parking lot on the side of the building.
I had the catfish and steak fries. It's the best catfish I have ever had in my life. Tender, cornmealy, seasoned right. With some delicious hot sauce.
We tried the pork sandwich and the half rack of rib tips, and they were absolutely delicious! This place is a gem in Springfield!
Fantastic meal at a reasonable price. Some of the best BBQ in town. Book a table now
