The real deal for barbecue in Southeast. Clay's serves up stout sandwiches and hearty, Southern-style platters with great sides, like kick-ass slaw and homefries with garlic sauce. Beware: The honey-cured pork-loin sandwich ($8.75)—piled high with bleu cheese, crispy Granny Smith apples and tasty garlic mayo—may seriously alter a light eater's outlook on life. Bargain hunters can get their grub on from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, when tender smoked chicken wings are 50 cents each and 10-ounce Buds are only a buck. (JD)
