I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! Anytime we can't decide on a place to eat I always suggest this one. The food is always good in my experience and reminds me of good home cooking. The service is always good and I always end up leaving with a slice of cake . The whole restaurant is cute overall and even has a small shop when you first walk in! I'd definitely recommend for anyone that wants to have a nice cozy dinner. read more

Order at the counter, get your drink and they take it from there. It's kind of an old place but the service and nostalgia are great. They serve every table a big basket of hush puppies. Fresh, hot and moist. Served with some kind of sweet onion relish. I ordered the catfish dinner. 4 small pieces so the cook is consistent. The tartar sauce is made in house. A little thinner than I like but really good. They told us all the sides are made in house except the fries and okra. The baked beans were excellent. We made a lucky stop and found great food!!! read more

Great BBQ, decent service. The ribs are absolutely fantastic with the wet sauce. I didn't order them, but the kids did and I ate all of their leftovers. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Went to our usual spot, Clancys! I saw the Big Tae special on their Facebook and had to try it! It was smoked brisket and bbq sauce on mac and cheese. It was delicious. If you see it on their specials, definitely give it a try. As always, the service and staff were great! read more

Food was great, no complaints and definitely would come back here again, very convenient spot as well

Prices were pretty high. BBQ was mushy tasted like it was smoked but reheated in the crock pot. Hush Puppies were excellent! Service was great. But for the price it was not worth it. read more

Brought my food across the street to Joe Joe's truck. Very nice people. They also have one of the best cheeseburgers I've had in a long time. read more

Nice little drive from Memphis, but well worth it. Order and pay at the counter when you go in, get your drink of choice, pick a table and wait for your food to be delivered to your table. The server is very friendly with a down-home personality. Be sure to tip her! The food was very good. I had the pork plate with beans and onion rings. Very good bbq sauce, sweet and a little spicy. Beans and onion rings were your basic fare. The others with me dined on the Ponchatrain special. Catfish with a creole-type sauce poured over. Got good reviews from them. Take the drive to Red Banks and enjoy! read more

I've been back here many times now and it's just getting better and better every single visit! The duck and sausage gumbo is freaking fantastic! It seems to be a little different each time but that's just fine because it is so damn good! I think it's due to age and temperature mostly. Gumbo changes a good bit over time. I have to start buying this by the gallon and freezing it! Brisket!! Holy crap I found a place with good brisket. Last time, I just ordered, and got a mix of fatty and lean, I wished I'd have asked for all fatty because it was perfect! I'm not sure how he does it so well with such little volumes of people dining here. Onion rings are the best I've ever had! Perfectly cooked and honestly the best breading I've seen in the onion ring game. Check out my picture of that salad. Ridiculous! Catfish is great! Breading is right on and they cut the fillets up smaller so they are nice and crunchy. Ribs are fire, be sure you get them dry, sauce onside... They are really, really, really good! Pulled pork... done very well... even the BBQ sauce is special. I dig the "hot" version! Free fucking Hushpuppies!!!! What else do you need in your life??? Nothing! The onion jam is Charity's jam!! She loves it! Oh yeah, almost forgot... Don't get caught leaving this place without a piece of cake either. Even if you don't want it now, get it to go and I will accept your donations later. The Hummingbird cake is phenomenal. This place is seriously legit! The owners name is Tyler Clancy, I finally met him last night. Please support him so he never leaves. That's right, I am selfishly asking you to drive your ass here and give him money so I can continue to eat here forever! read more

So nice to return to this local, re-opened-opened, restaurant. Covid set them back, but they have returned just as good ... if not better than ever ... So glad! You won't go wrong stopping in here -- whether buffet or off- the-menu. You can't go wrong!!!! read more

Dinner date on Saturday afternoon at about 6 pm. I'm still recovering from one of the worst meals I've ever tried to eat. Where do I start? First, you order and pay when you walk in the door. Bill was $35.86, two orders of catfish with sides and 2 drinks, tea and coke. I paid cash, this is where it started. Handed the girl two 20's, a dollar bill and a penny. This blew her mind! She handed me back the dollar bill and penny and said she didn't need that much. Gave me four ones and change back with the receipt that showed several percentage amounts you can tip. Tip? Why would you tip? Once our food was delivered that was the last time we had contact with anyone in the store, except for the manager (owner). Now to the food. The catfish was terrible! It was soggy and heavy with grease. Hushpuppies were overcooked, dry, and just plain. My onion rings were warm at best, and greasy. She liked her fried okra, my slaw was ok, a little juicy but the flavor was nice. The tea was good and my date's mist drink was terrible because the tank ran out of syrup about 1/2 way up the cup. By the way, they were out of lemon! Catfish, lemon,,,,tea, lemon...come on folks! Well, I had a short discussion with the owner about the greasy fish. Asked if it was cooked in advance and reheated, he said no. Then I asked if the grease was not hot enough, old or had not been filtered recently. Really never got a complete answer. He said this cook just "topped" it off. He did offer to replace the fish, which I politely declined, but that was it. He never offered us a refund, give us a gift certificate, buy us dessert, just walked off. Now being an ex restaurant owner I think I would have handled this mess a little differently. To be fair. Maybe we just caught Clancy's on a bad day? We've been once before, last year, and it was great! Like I said, me being an ex-owner myself I tried to watch all orders leaving the kitchen. Given the fact the owner was on site, I think maybe he was tired? Could be they were getting ready to close and the friers were cooling down? Anyway, I'd never let an order leave the kitchen I'd not eat. This was one of em. Will we go back? I don't know. read more

Clancy's Cafe is amazing!! They have a variety of food to choose from on their posted menu. This walk-in to be seated, hole-in-the-wall kind of place has great food and a relaxing environment. The small grandchildren were able to play in the country playroom, Clancy's Kids Corner after eating to keep them occupied while the adults finished their food. I would definitely recommend! read more

My husband and I had the Catfish Pontchartrain (the best sauce ever) with sides of turnip greens and a salad. The 2 blacken catfish were the very best I'd ever eaten. The salad was huge with cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese and croutons with a balsamic vinegar dressing. These were fantastic meals!! Great service! Wonderful setting and it was very reasonable! If we ever travel through this area again we will certainly stop. I would give it a 10 out of 10 or a Five Star out of Five Star! read more

Great catfish, decent sized portions. Staff was attentive and friendly. Also had banana pudding, which was very good. Reasonable prices.

Food was great, the old lady at the cash register is a real grumpy person though. Please learn to be more Friendly, I was excited to try a new restaurant while I was on the road but after that encounter I put my headphones on and ate as fast as I could so I could get out. Luckily the two younger ladies that helped at the front were friendly. Also the guy who came from the kitchen to help me clean my tray was very friendly also. read more

Wonderful food, excellent service, clean environment. Chocolate cobbler and brisket - hands down my favorite!

Always good food , nice friendly atmosphere Easy access off of I22 , had the BBQ sandwiches today, YUM YUM read more

Clancy's Cafe is this out of the way family owned restaurant in Red Banks MS. Short drive from Memphis. Bout a 20 minute ride to the country. The friendliest ladies in town. Tender and juicy beef brisket.... Seasoned catfish and fries. Senior menu pricing as well. Super Delish -Chocolate Cobbler- and Banana Pudding. Service is fast and complete. Quick chef in back whipping up all the vittles of the day. Lunch and dinner menu. Big and spacious cafeteria seating, that would be good for a group. We will return we frequent this quiet area very often! read more

Quaint little place with great food. Love the gumbo and brisket. Always stop here when passing through.

Tasty tasty tasty!! Had the brisket plate. Treated like a friend from the moment I walked in. Clean facility with nice decor.

THIS IS A MUST GO ASAP spot. WOW it is the best BBQ we've ever had. The place is so cute, very clean and clearly well cared for. Staff are all as sweet and kind as can be. Free hush puppies brought to the table, sooo good and great surprise! We ordered the BBQ Nachos for an appetizer .. tons of shredded pork, bbq, tortillas and the perfect amount of jalapeños. The onion rings handmade delish heaven. Chicken tenders made from scratch. 5 stars isn't enough, so bummed I live 1500 miles away! read more

Great food , good service and good atmosphere. I have not had a bad meal there in several years of going .

Not much to say other than really nice people and great food , the BBQ was awesome with a side of onion rings . I did make the mistake of thinking I could drive and eat this big sandwich, that didn't happen lol read more

We came early so crowd was minimal, naturally distanced. Food is awesome. Everything. We had catfish and tender smokey ribs. It's a month later now, I'm still lusting after that meal. read more

Great food great people and always a great place to relax ! Been going to that place (different restaurants) since I was little always brings back Memories read more

This was our first visit to Clancy's. I'd seen about it on the Marshall county Facebook page. It definitely didn't disappoint! Portions were very generous. Food was served quickly and was very fresh. These may be the best onion rings I've ever had. They were definitely the prettiest onion rings ever. The Mac and cheese was thick and cheesy. I'm he beef brisket had a very nice smoke ring and flavor. The serving size of the catfish was ample. I can't imagine how much fish must be on the large sized portion. We left with a huge box of leftovers. Nice selection of sides and entrees. Restaurant was clean and inviting. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. read more

Food is always good. Staff is friendly. Good value for your money. What more can I say?

I stopped by Clancy's on my way home from Florida to Minnesota. One of the absolute best lunches I've ever had in my whole life! Pretty much anything you get on the menu is delicious and highly recommended! Everything my wife and I got tasted like homemade REAL AUTHENTIC BBQ. Clancy's is off the beaten path but definitely a MUST!! read more

TRUCKER FRIENDLY (you can park your rig across the street) Dang people.... this place is a dream. I am not usually one to seek out a BBQ place and often think their over rated, but not this place. I plan on making this a regular stop. I had: Hush puppies with sweet vinegar 10/10 Blacked shrimp 10/10 Greens 9/10 Baked beans 10/10 He had: Brisket sandwich "all the way" 10/10 French fries 2/10 Mac n cheese 10/10 Strawberry cake 12 out of 10!!! This was literally the best cake I have ever put in my mouth, if it wasn't the last piece I would have bought one to go. Apparently the owners 80 year old mawmaw makes all the baked goods....I wanna steal her. I can't wait to go back!!!!! read more

We were visiting the area...wandering around on our bikes looking for a business that was to be in the area. Lunch time was upon us - Clancy's did not disappoint. The employee even called her relatives to help us find the location, since they worked there, turns out it moved. :( The pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw was awesome. The mac n cheese was on point. There are no pics of the pie and banana pudding - roll us out the joint is how it ended. Hidden gem of a place. read more

The food is always great and the staff is wonderful! Everything on the menu is great, I recommend the Chicken Melt and the Firecracker Burger. read more

Very delicious, we will be back I have the cheeseburger & onion rings. My honey had brisket sandwich (which was huge) with fries. We also had the fried pickles and the dipping sauce was wonderful read more

Yuck! Where to start ‍ Mac and cheese cold and greasy I wanted to ask if they could heat it up but the paper boat it was in was screaming for dear life to stay together due the the soggy grease. Onion rings - warm not hot but again very greasy the paper under them was wet with grease spots. I'm quite certain they had been cooked earlier and then reheated. Fried catfish - Hot just like how I like it! It was good but lacked flavor. Very bland I fixed that with using the dipping sauce that came with the hush puppies. My son ordered the brisket and it had the leftover color you know that gray kinda green tint. Steam was coming up off of it so I'm certain it was just nuked in the microwave. I sampled it to make sure it was appropriate. No flavor just a strong taste of liquid smoke. The best thing was the hush puppies they bring out before your food. Not sure what exactly the sweet vinegar onion dipping sauce was but we loved it. My opinion that was the only thing worth buying and those came free. I was so disappointed we passed up several other restaurants on our way back home because I wanted to stop here. Maybe it was an off day but I'm completely grossed out and sad. I'm a foodie and a lot goes into deciding where to go!! read more

Clancy's Cafe - Grayish green tint brisket - Southern Near Me - Red Banks, Mississippi

the first few times I had cat there every thing was great. However, the last few times after Covid they were out of salad ingredients (tomatoes), the hush puppies were reheated like they were from the day before, or the French fries were cold. I realize that times are hard for restaurants and I have given them them the benefit of the doubt. Sorry, but I am not going back. read more
