We like this place a lot. We've dropped in a couple of times now and it's been great. The food is delicious and they're all super friendly. Today was a quick stop. Just a few wings and a brisket sandwich. The wings were on special and the were perfectly cooked, crispy and tender. Great flavor. The brisket was great too. Good flavor, solid smoke ring, tender and plentiful. And again, so nice and friendly. read more

We stopped in as we were traveling through. Saw it on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Nice little BBQ place. Cute, rustic decor with wooden tables. The benches for the booths need some serious reupholstering! We chose to sit at a table. I love the rustic wood. We ordered the special for the day which included a sandwich, a side and a drink. We both ordered the Yard Bird with Alabama sauce. I really enjoyed it but my husband said it was so so. He doesn't like mayo. I enjoyed the flavor and the slight kick. All in all it was a good meal and the employees were very friendly. We would eat here again. I would like to recommend that you grill your buns, as the cold, dry bun kind of made it less tasty. read more

Unfortunately didn't use ladies room (complete with a view of the kitchen) until AFTER we ate. Whole place was sticky - floors, tables, chairs - but the restrooms and kitchen were downright filthy. Food seemed OK but after seeing where it was prepared I'm sick. Sorry, can't recommend. read more

A solid value for the money. The wings are not more expensive then other places but have way more flavor! I love buying the meat by the pound which is a great deal. You can order ahead to take it home and get on the mailing list for coupons. read more

I wouldn't bother stopping here if you're looking for a spot off the 40. The chicken sandwich was very dry and barely had any sauce on it. Also, although they were friendly, the people behind the counter probably shouldn't be sitting on the back counter where food comes out of the kitchen and vaping . the sweet potato fries were good as were the regular french fries (although a bit salty). read more

Found this place off the interstate on a Friday after the lunch crowd. Service was friendly and quick. Went with the 2 meat platter w Brisket and Ribs along w side of fries and beans. Brisket was tender w decent bark, would definitely get it again. Ribs were over cooked... meat fell off the bone too easily but still ok as far as flavor. Beans were excellent, nothing fancy, tender and smoky. Fries were... well fries. Would visit again but will try the chicken over the ribs next time. read more

Stopped by for Lunch on a Sunday. We did the 3 Meat Plate for 2 of us. The service was great, the gentleman helping us was kind and explained everything we needed to know. Their Sweet Tea was amazing. We got the Brisket, Smoked Wings and Ribs. All 3 meats were great, not dry at all but by far the best was the smoked wings, I think I'd say these are the best Smoked wings I've ever had. Crispy and juicy. 100% recommend this place for anyone driving through or in the area! Don't let the picture of the salad fool you, this place has Real Good BBQ read more

Clifton Brothers BBQ - 3 Meat Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

Clifton Brothers BBQ is a fantastic option for a meal if you are in the Jackson, Tennessee and craving barbecue. It is located in a shopping plaza, so parking is not really an issue and overall, Clifton Brothers BBQ has a cool.ambiance and a friendly staff. I went with a pulled pork sandwich (with coleslaw) and for my side, I went with their French fries. The ordering process is pretty much the standard in barbecue places. You go up to the counter and order. They give you a number and you find yourself a seat and they bring you your meal. My food came out pretty quick.and overall, I was definitely impressed. The pork sandwich was very good, though maybe next time I will get it without coleslaw (I found the coleslaw a bit sweet). The French fries were honestly amazing. Perfectly crunchy exterior and a fluffy interior. Clifton Brothers BBQ is honestly an amazing barbecue restaurant and if you find yourself in Jackson, Tennessee, do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

Great chopped chicken sandwich. My husband loved the brisket sandwich. Easy off and on to Hwy 40. Drive through window makes ordering easy. Great place read more

The place is simple, looks like a "moms and paps" place. Love the authentic taste of their beef brisket and love the potato salad! Don't miss their pecan pie! You order at the counter and they serve it to ur table. It was fast! Promote the local business. read more

Bought a family pack at the drive through. The people I dealt with were extremely nice, however... We got a pound of barbecue; half of that was fat and hard pieces. They gave us 4 buns in a paper bag; they were already hard. Other barbecue places always includes a full bag of buns in a plastic bag. The slaw was strange tasting; not vinegar, not mayonnaise, but something else. The baked beans were way too salty. Sorry, but I can get way better at other local places for less than the $25.24 we paid. We are not picky people; I almost always give great reviews but I couldn't this time. read more

We were in Jackson, TN and wanted some of that good ole Tennessee BBQ. We tried Clifton because the yelp reviews gave them over 4 stars. NOW the service was five stars and the ambiance was five stars- very clean, neat, nice looking. HOWEVER the food was just alright. The brisket and pork were very tender but had no flavor. The BBQ sauce was just ok. Nothing to speak about. The coleslaw typical. The beans were good, had flavor and a kick to them. The price was a bit high for the quantity served. AGAIN- the service and dinning room was very clean and nice. Just NOT the best BBQ in Tennessee. read more

Good flavor, slow service, cold/burnt food. We were the first family in a series of 4 families. 2nd family got 3 of their 4 meals, then 2nd family got both their meals. Then we got 2 of our five meals but the fries were already cold. The 2nd family got their last meal before we got the rest of our meals. Ribs were luke warm, potato salad was not cold, macaroni cheese was luke warm, and grilled cheese was burnt. read more

Food was absolutely disgusting. Cold dry brisket, frozen carrots making them soggy. We ordered the following items. The baked potato was cold. Not sure why you'd serve someone a cold baked potato. The brisket was seasoned after cooking (unnecessary) salt pepper mustard, and smoke it. The sides were ok, the potato salad could have been better, but the fries were pretty good. The wings were alright, overly seasoned after cooking, at least they were hot. All in all don't waste your time, the manager walked by and asked how everything was, and I told him - terrible. Not sure anything will change. Save your money. Brisket Plate x 2 (fries & potato salad) Baked Potato Plain - sour cream, cheese & chives. Smoked wings - Lemon Pepper. Custard/Key Lime Pie. Totaling $100 w/tip. read more

Wonderful food, large portions, and friendly service! I had the baby back ribs and my husband had pulled pork and brisket. The sides were just as wonderful- some of the best baked beans and turnip greens ever! Great place to stop! read more

We werenin Jackson and had a taste for bbq. The bbq was excellent. The pork was a little fatty but that happens with pulled pork. The bbq chicken was excellent. Our son had the brisket and thought it was very good too. The service was good and friendly. Not that we will be back in Jackson but if we were we would go again. read more

I went here due to our usual bbq place being completely sold out and I am very impressed! This is some of the best bbq I've had in Jackson. It was tender, juicy and very flavorful. I ordered to go but the woman at the counter was very nice and helped me find their family pack menu that I couldn't see anywhere. The restaurant seemed very clean and I liked their outdoor sitting area. We will definitely be coming here again read more

Went to the bbq yesterday. Ordered 2 beef brisket sandwiches. When they were delivered to our table the buns were cold, like taken out of a refrigerator, and the meat tasted like cold roast beef but definitely was not brisket. First and last time we will eat here. read more

I travel around Tennessee quite a bit for work. I set out with the romantic notion that there is always a perfect hidden family BBQ joint to be found wherever my travels take me. What I found is that there is just a lot of average BBQ out there. Smoked meat has a high floor, it's never bad. However few are the joints that truly exceed my now lowered 3 to 3.5 star expectations. Enter Clayton Bros. I chose it because of other reviews and it's proximity to the interstate. I need something unique or an unexpected take to get me to type words in the Yelp and that's what I got. I had a composed sandwich not just a bunch of meat slopped on a bun ( not that there is anything wrong with that). The cheddar jalapeño sausage sandwich had pickled onions and whole grain mustard. A total flavor explosión. The spicy green beans are a worthy side. This place has a thoughtful menu and just well done que. The staff treated me like they were glad I was there and they were knowledgeable and passionate about the food. In my humble, ok not super humble but self aware opinion, the place exceeds expectations. They have a take and they execute it. A good mix of new hip and down home. I think y'all will like it. read more

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Great service. There deserts are also amazing. I travel all over and this place is awesome.

Traveling through and stopped for lunch during the week. They were out of everything we picked to order. Settled on chicken and brisket plate and a loaded potato (the last one they had). Brisket was dry and stringy. Chicken was ok. The sauce wasn't very good. The sides were salty. I asked if we could have a sample of the Bbq bologna since they were out of things. The man at the cash register said sure. We waited 25 minutes to get our food. There were only two other tables there. Our food was dropped without the bologna. I asked the gal who brought our food and she said they were working on it. It never came out. It was a let down at every corner. Which was really disappointing for our lunch stop. We had a very little time on the trip to stop and this was definitely not worth it. read more

Great pulled pork plate. Fast service and very friendly. Exactly what I was looking for when I pulled into Jackson

Commercial made sides along with the saltiest brisket and chicken I've ever had made for a disappointing lunch. Zero smokiness either. For 60.00/ 3 people I had higher expectations than this. The bbq sauce is good. That's about it. read more

Stopped by for lunch for a pulled pork sammie. The Cole slaw on the Sammie was awful. Tasted sour and commercially made. The bbq sauce tastes like vinegar and black pepper. The fries super salty. The pulled pork was ok. Bad beans. Disappointing... read more

Worst Bbq I ever experienced! Traveling to Texas, looked on yelp and this place had good ratings! Tried the ribs and brisket. No smoke flavor, dry! Tasteless, everything was spicy. read more

Friendly service. Generous portion pulled pork sandwich. Tasty sauce. Baked beans were nicely seasoned.

Stopped by here on our drive from New Hampshire to Texas. We'd been away from home for a couple of months and were desperate for some BBQ. So, so glad we stopped here. Wonderful and quick service, comfortable atmosphere, busy but not super crowded. Everyone in our party was really happy with what they ordered. The meat was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Every side we tried was delicious. And the gold sauce was so good I was wishing that I could bring bottles of it home. My only regret is that it's too far from home for us to be regulars. read more
