The food is off the charts and the price is even better. And the status is 100% welcoming and friendly. If you haven't already tried it Lord help me you should. read more

Down home Georgia barbecue with great sides and pies! The BBQ is very tender! It's actually the only BBQ my dad likes in town because it's tasty and tender. And I'll hey serve the mustard BBQ sauce on the side which I like so I can add sweet & smoky BBQ sauce to mine. We ordered a pound of chopped BBQ with potato salad (lots of dill), very good coleslaw and great baked beans with a slice of lemon meringue and a slice of pecan pie. The pecan pie and lemon meringue were to die for. The sweet tea here is perfect southern tea, not too sweet! read more

I was really hoping for some great BBQ from a hole in the wall type place. Wow, was I wrong. Dirty, rude employees, and bad food. This place is a hard pass for me. 1-Environment-It is dirty. Like really greasy dirty. The flies are a force to be reckoned with. The floors don't look like they've seen a mop in decades. The tables are all sticky. Every surface is just gross. 2-Staff-They are rude. Why? Why are you rude to customers who are paying you good money? There's no excuse for being rude to customers. 3-Paying-They do not take cards. Living in an almost cashless society, this is just lazy on the part of the owners. Perhaps the IRS should see who's money they are laundering because I really can't see how else they are staying in business. 4-Sides-Disgusting. The cole slaw tasted like someone put sweet pickles, mayonnaise, and a lot of sugar in a food processor. The potato salad is bland and seasonless. The baked beans, tasted like premade baked beans with sugar added. A lot of sugar. Everything was cloyingly sweet, including the sweet tea. Unsweet tea isn't an option, so there's no cutting the sweetness. 5-The meat-The chopped pork is so bland and tasteless it's hard to describe. It has almost no smoke flavor, perhaps this is the type of place that puts the meat in the smoker long enough to get a little color on the outside, then finishes it in the oven. When pork is properly smoked, the fat renders into the meat making for a sweet succulent product. While technically done, the fat was in big globs and layers and had not even begun to render. It either needed a couple more hours in the oven, or 10 more hours in the smoker. Also, there was no sign of a rub or injection or any attempt to season the meat. Truthfully, I'm sort of shocked about how awful this place was. read more

The meat's great. L.A. Yelpers will probably understand if I say that my husband compared this place to OkiDog - total hole in the wall, and not to be missed for that "only here!" ambience. The Sausage Q sandwich is indeed a unique twist. Who on earth does that kind of crazy? It works, though. The "BBQ Slaw" was mindbending; when my husband said, "this place is like OkiDog, so where's the kimchi?", I immediately pointed to the BBQ Slaw. I don't know if anyone else in the Columbus area is making this, but I've never seen anything like it anywhere else. Mustard BBQ sauce-slathered minced cabbage. Essentially, cracker kimchee. Beans are nothing special, they tasted like Campbell's or something from a can. Didn't try the corn on the cob or potato salad. Dunno whether we'd have enjoyed it if it were more expensive, but for the price, it's an unbeatable cultural experience. Extra star for that alone. read more

I had the chipper sandwich here and it was fabulous. They're only 99 cents! The pork in them is some of the best quality I've ever had. The slaw and pickle chips they put on it is a perfect addition because it kind of offers a foil for the extreme spiciness if you get it hot. Try out the sauces they have lying around. They are really special and can go great with the chipper. The corn on the cob and potato salad is also great here. I would give it 5 stars, but I took one off because they're cash only, the employees don't make you feel too welcome, and there's nothing great about the ambiance. The food, however, is perfect. read more

Clearview Barbecue - a sign for a restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Yea I get it, it's cheap! Big friggin deal... The food isn't that good! read more

Best chipped sandwich on earth! Clearview takes a throwaway dish and makes it their specialty and it is out of this world! Don't be afraid of the lunch-time line out the door; it moves fast and the wait is worth it. I go there on my lunch hour regularly and I'm always back to work on time. Everything on the menu is great, but the chipped sandwich is by far the standout. These things are mana from heaven. In fact, I'll usually grab a couple extra when I go and stick them in my freezer. The worst part about this place is that they are closed on Sunday and that's the day my barbecue hunger sets in most. read more

Really???? The chicken was so dry, there isn't enough water in the building to moisten it. The service is slow and they don't take debit or credit cards in 2016!! Dirty, and disorganized. I would not return. Sorry. read more

Clearview is another great BBQ restaurant in the Columbus Georgia area. I've long believed that Columbus has more BBQ stores than any city it's size. It seems that most stay in business and prosper despite all the competition selling essentially very similar products. The hickory smoked pork reminds me of the NFL'S; Any Given Sunday and perfect competition. Clearview offers the 99 cent Chipper as it's signature sandwich and the value is hard to beat. The meat is chipped, tiny shards of pork that don't have too much texture when combined with BBQ slaw and sauce, dill pickle chips give you something to sink your teeth into. The potato salad and BBQ slaw both lack texture as if someone gets "too happy with a food processor". However the sandwiches are great to take home and microwave. The chopped and sliced pork plates come with white bread an pickles. They have at least three mustard vinegar sauces and probably one under the counter with real kick. They also sell scrambled dogs. read more

Some of the BEST BBQ in town. Not much atmosphere but the food is what you go in for....

Best chipped BBQ sandwich in town, hands down! Plus they are $0.99 per. Quick service. You know you are going to get a great sandwich at a good value every time! Only flaw is they accept cash only, but for $4 you can eat good! read more

This was my second time trying this place. Servers are friendly but the food was just Blah to me. The first time there I want unimpressed with the food. So I decided to give it another shot by ordering the Scrambled Dog. Boy was I in for a shock. Not only were they skimpy on the wieners, the wieners that I did received were over cooked. Surrounded by greasy chili that over took the flavor of the meal. I definitely want be coming back for thirds. read more

Delicious food and tons of it! I easily could have fed 2 people with a large BBQ plate. I got the mild sauce and it tastes like it has mustard in it! New for me, but assume regional and very good. I like to try new stuff, chicken, beef and turkey all on one plate. Young lady behind the counter super cute and polite. Great local find. I'll be back for the ribs! read more

For a northerner not familiar with BBQ, Clearview was truly a treat. 2 large chipped pork sandwiches, 8 oz coleslaw, large Brunswick stew and 2 huge iced teas... all for under 15 bucks!! A must if you are passing through. read more

Was pretty darn good. Could use a bit more sauce but it was good. Got some to take home with me so family can try it. We like Grill Masters in Perry GA which is close to is. This compares well read more

Clearview Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

The very best barbecue in the Columbus/Phenix City area. They have the best chipped sandwiches and are reasonably priced - nothing beats a Clearview hot chipped sandwich with slaw and pickles read more

Best bbq in the south! Usually get 7 or 8 lbs to bring home to South Carolina. Only restaurant I'd be willing to drive 7 hours for and have. I've tried lots of bbq but there are none as good as Clearview. The meat is always smoked perfect and the sauces are the best. Truly the best bbq in the south and the prices are great. read more

Columbus, Ga is blessed with great BBQ, whether it's Macon Road, Smoky Pig, Country's, 13th Street , Chicken Comer's or so many more, they are all wonderful. Perhaps the best value is Clearview who has a chipped sandwich for 99 cents. Yep, 99 cents and it's no small sandwich. Several reviews have noted there is a long wait at times, well, yes there is a wait because so many people know what a great place and great food this restaurant offers. Even if you get there at 11:30 you will find a short wait because it starts filling up quickly. May not have the best ambiance in town but the BBQ ranks near or at the Top. 5 Stars read more

It's hard to beat a 99 cent sandwich, but Clearview does! It's slammed with chipped bbq and topped with pickles. And it the spicy option is always a plus. Best sweet tea in town! read more

Abso lutly the worst Bar B Que ever encountered. I give it a 1 star because there is nothing lower. Dirtiest place I have ben in, flies everywhere, tables left uncleaned and the help looked unkept. About the meat they call Bar B Que.. Noticed that it had no (zero) smoke or bar b que flavor so I looked around, there is no chimley, no fire pit no amoky smell, nothing! Apparently they either cook their meat in an oven or buy it in buckets. Will not return!. BTW, there were five of us and not one plate had the correct order on it! read more

I have visited this place numerous times. The last two times I have waited over 20 minutes in line as always cause their usually busy only to have them tell me they were out of what i wanted to order. No sign or anything saying so. So much time wasted. As of this moment I will never support this establishment again. A huge lack of professionalism on their employees part. read more

Some of the worst service I've had in years from clearview in years. I put a order in two days ago and I added 2 more junkyard dawgs and I get there today and they sold my order to another customer didn't check the name or phone number and worst of all they ran out of bbq today. That will be my last time eating there ever again read more

Awesome BBQ and dirt cheap too! Be aware, they only accept cash. I drive about 30 miles every couple weeks to get this bbq. read more

Got there 6:30pm on Wednesday night, suddenly line formed up. Ribs got sold out right before us. The chipped sandwich was not enjoyable, smoked chicken is truly smoked black and dry; nonetheless, the sausage-que sandwiches was great. The sausage was sweet, the pork was juicy and tender. Definitely, we will come back for sausage-que sandwiches. Yum! read more

This is the best barbecue in town, with the best prices. The Brunswick stew is amazing. The line is usually out the door, so be prepared. You can call in an order. The only drawback, which isn't that big of a deal, is that they only take cash. But today, I forgot that I didn't have any on me, and I was craving it for lunch, and that made me sad. Definitely try this place!! read more

Best bbq this town has to offer! $.99 chipped sandwiches, delicious ribs, and the junkyard dog is out of this world!

Greatest bbq in town. Good corn on the cob, now they need fries and mac and cheese. Tea is just right as well. Love all the little pigs that decorate the place. Wonderful people, great food, clean place to eat. Prices ar better than anywhere else in town. Can't beat a bbq sandwich for a dollar! read more

It's stupid how many good barbecue places there are to find in Columbus, and Clearview should certainly be counted among them. I wouldn't say their 'que is particularly better or worse than some of their competitors, but I liked being able to buy everything a la carte, and with a sandwich, stew, and drink clocking in at under $5, it was hard to beat. They even have a few different choices in sauce, if you're feeling explorative (and I always am). read more

Great barbecue and incredibly good prices! No frills but the line to get lunch tells you it's worth waiting for it!!

CASH ONLY. Close to Hwy 80 so convenient for the beach bound. the chipped sandwich appears to be their signature, but we opted for chopped pork. Meat was tender, a bit lacking in smoke, but good. Note the hot sauce is HOT. Hubs liked the medium, I liked the mild. stew was the way we like it- lots of meaty bits not too much extra stuff, and not too much BBQ sauce. read more

A very pleasant surprise. I got the large BBQ plate chopped w/ 2 sides. It was a ton of food! 4-5 pieces of bread came w/ it. Sweet tea was good, not old. A classic hole-in-the-wall BBQ house. However, it is cash only. Certainly worth the stop if you have cash in hand! read more

I heard about Clearview just yesterday from two different sources, looked at the reviews on Yelp and had to give it a go. It has a great BBQ atmosphere and at 2:30 there were still a fair amount of folks showing up to eat. There were maybe 10 people in line the whole time I was there. I heard if you go for lunch the line will be out the door. I don't like lines so I waited till I thought I could get served without too much of a wait. I've been on a chip sandwich tear lately so the $.99 sandwich was a must. I like the way it was prepared on top of a panini type cooker with the bun slightly toasted. I had slaw and pickles with the hot mustard based sauce, and a side of Brunswick stew, and an iced tea. I was a little surprised they only had sweet tea sitting out for refills, and I'm not supposed to ingest refined sugar, but heck, I'm on vacation. Now to the story of the sandwich and stew. My first bite of the sandwich, my mind and mouth say "salt!". Not as in it needs salt, but salt is the overbearing taste in my mouth. I thought, it's because of the pickles, so I remove them. Next bite, still salt. Huh. I go for a taste of the stew: delicious! I have a few more bites of stew and give the sandwich another try. Still salt. Not the delicious meat, slaw, bread and sauce flavor I'm used to with chip sandwiches. OK, maybe it's the slaw. I really couldn't separate it from the meat and bread, so I filled my spoon with the hot mustard sauce and took a sip. Mustard. At this point I need to say that I make my own mustard sauce in the same style of Chicken Comer's, and it doesn't have an overbearing mustard flavor. The heat was good in this sauce, and was just the right amount of runny to soak into the meat and slaw, but the mustard was too there. All this to say that for $.99 it's way better than any burger experience you'll find at this price, but if you're looking for a smoky meaty and slaw experience in your Chip sandwich, you might have to go elsewhere. read more

Good BBQ at a good price nothing fancy but smoked goodness tip just get 2 small chipped not the large mustard sauce is good parking is good would like to see a pork hop read more

Sorta small and seating area but the food was really amazing . Had the combo plater hot, the ribs meat falling off the bone it was so good and the sauce was great. Pecan pie also amazing will be going back there again to try more food read more

We stop to eat here around 4:00 pm, and yes we had to wait in line.... I had to give a 5 star, I can't imagine why someone would give a 1 star because they waited on Great Food, the line never stopped the whole time we were there. We had the ribs, baked beans, q-slaw, chipped pork sandwich and Brunswick stew.... And let me added the stew was the best I every tasted! Don't let the building fool you, it's a must stop and try, I think you will love it! read more

AMAZING! I recommend the pecan pie and of course the sweet tea. can't have BBQ without sweet tea. can't go wrong with the $1 sandwiches, I would recommend getting extra sauce on them though. read more

Woohoo, exactly! We yelped this place on a LONG trip between Panama City and Atlanta, destination barbeque, thinking that we just had to try the real thing. And what a thing it was: smoky chicken, a giant half rack of ribs, and perhaps best of all, the amazing sliced barbeque with a mustard sauce. We're converts! The pecan pie was terrific too! It's worth a side trip all by itself. read more

This is the best BBQ in Columbus to me, hands down. There are other good places but they just don't compare to Clearview. I usually get 2 chipped hot with slaw, a medium stew, and a large sweet tea. All that for about $6! The hot sauce is hot but very good. They only take cash and the lines can be long but it is always worth the wait! read more
