“ Take out. Great pulled pork sandwiches, BBQ pork ribs and chicken. There is Limited inside seating. ”
“ Always reliable. The ribs fall right off of the bone!. It's easy to just walk in, order and eat without a big fuss. I love that there is only one sauce and you know it's good. It's thick and flavorful. No guessing what to get... simple and to the point. The Mac and cheese is creamy but kinda lacks flavor. But the pork, ribs and sauce make up for it! Other bbq joints have been hit or miss (sometimes good, sometimes not,) but we can always count on deliciousness at Clem's. I got a whole quart of pork so I can enjoy some later. ”
“ Throughout highschool my friends and I have always gone to keystone state park as a day trip followed by Clems for dinner. After 4-5 years of going during the summer clems is fr the best place to eat. Their food is amazing, and the people who work there are amazing. We typically like to eat outside and this one dude kept making jokes with us. A few of us didn't get anything to eat (we just weren't hungry) and he came out with 3 of the best sweet potato pie slices. They were so good. Thank you to the guy who gave us them. ”
“ Excellent bar b que in a relaxing atmosphere. Friendly service. If you stop here once, you will stop twice.... We don't get out this way often, but when we do....we stop in for a bite, and some take out... Outdoor seating is available, weather permitting. ”
“ This place has real barbecue, and it's very tasty. This is a counter-service place, with food already prepared, and some pre-packaged. Each item is ordered individually and packaged "to go," but there are plenty of indoor and outdoor tables. The barbecue sauce is tangy, and comes "on the side," so you can use as much or as little as you want. The meat is flavorful and cooked very well. The side dishes are also tasty, with some being better than others. There is an eye-catching pig on top of the building, and a large parking lot. (I often see trailers parked there, and they aren't blocking anyone or crowding the lot.) You can see/smell the barbecue being cooked outside on some visits. The prices are reasonable, and the establishment is kept clean. It's easy to access when traveling east on 22. If you're traveling west, you'll need to do a u-turn to get there, and another when you leave if you want to continue westward. ”
“ Had some pretty good barbecue here! Finally stopped in after years of passing the place on the way to Raystown Lake. Glad we did! I got a rack of baby backs, my son a pulled pork sandwich, and we had mac 'n cheese and beans as sides. The rack was huge, and the meat was soft and pulled from the bones easily. Great sauce! My son enjoyed his sandwich (and some of my ribs), and the sides were tasty...especially the beans! Good chow, priced high but not unreasonable, and the counter staff was friendly. Pretty darned good stuff here. ”
“ Very good food. Counter service with a smile and yummy barbecue. I've passed by for years. So glad we finally had time to eat there. We'll definitely go back. My sandwich fell apart, but was still delicious. ”
“ Took a detour past Clem's and stopped for lunch. This is a counter service place with indoor seating. We got boneless rib subs and birch beer from the window and had a quick lunch. The meat was tender, bbq sauce good. I did see a smoker out back, so they are slow cooking the meats. Very messy sandwich...we both ate it with a fork. ”
