Clampits Country Kitchen — Restaurant in Hot Springs Village

LOVE THIS NEW FIND!!!!!! Wow, this place really has it all. It’s like a mom and pop bbq restaurant til 6pm, home-cooked daily special from 10-2pm, ready made meals you take home and reheat (they will also heat for you there 💗), full on butcher shop, small but nice selection of dry goods grocery section, frozen seafood and exotic meats, deer processing for hunters, and sooooo much more I was just really really impressed. This place has some great looking cuts of meat, three different types of impressive boudin, lots of desserts and every cheese you could ask for. I was really impressed with the 5lb bag of frozen jumbo shrimp for $30. If you don’t follow them on Facebook, you’re gonna want to bc they have all kinds of fun specials they just pop up and for a great price. I took a friend who has been a butcher for over a decade and even he was impressed with the quality and prices they had. Just look at the bulk frozen orders they offer that fill a freezer- awesome. I tried a sample of the brisket and it was so wild but we both tasted two different flavors that reminded us of dishes our moms have made. Very nostalgic flavor for me and I know where to go for a mom fix next time I’m craving meat. I also ordered a side of smoked sausage and it was good, really oily but the flavor was great. Next time I would take it home and just brown a little on the edges bc I like it like that myself but still it was really good. The hot bbq sauce was delicious with both but they stood alone without it too, but I can’t help it, I love me some sauces. Everyone we encountered that worked there was so awesome and helpful and honestly, I can’t wait to return for more, preferably when the daily...

I stopped in for a quick lunch around 1:50 PM. Upon entering, I waited about 5 to 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged me at the counter, despite there being two employees behind the counter engaged in conversation. This initial wait was frustrating as it seemed like we were invisible to the staff, and it set a negative tone for the visit.

Once we were finally able to place our order, we were informed that the menu was limited because it was after 2:00 PM. This was particularly disappointing since we had arrived before 2:00 PM, and it felt unfair to be restricted by a cutoff time we technically met. The lack of flexibility and communication about this policy was frustrating.

After placing our order, it took about another 10 minutes to receive our food. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up, and our order was initially prepared for dine-in instead of to-go, despite us clearly stating we wanted it to-go. This mistake caused further delays as they had to remake the food to be packaged for takeout.

When we finally received our order and left, we discovered that the food was cold and lacked flavor. The overall quality did not live up to the positive reviews that had drawn us to the establishment in the first place. The entire experience, from the initial lack of acknowledgment to the subpar food quality, was disappointing.

Given the high expectations set by the positive reviews, I had anticipated a much better experience. Unfortunately, the slow service, lack of attention to detail, and mediocre food left me dissatisfied. I hope the management can address these issues to improve the experience for...

Clampit's Country Kitchen and Meat Market

I don't know how it has taken me so long to visit but glad we did. Looking for a different spot for lunch and went to Clampit's. Prices are awesome and portions were heavy. If you leave hungry, something wrong with your stomach.

Wife had brisket plate, daughter pulled pork and me the sampler. Plates were $8.99 and sampler $12.99 that includes 2 sides, bread, and drink. I like bbq sauce to accent the meat not be the star and Clampit's was spot on. Meat stood by itself and lightly seasoned. Moist, flavorful, melt in your mouth real bbq. Ribs were like butter and meat came clean off bone tender. Brisket was juicy yet not fatty with nice bark mixed in. Bbq beans were hardy and had a kick. There was zero room for homemade dessert but we checked it out. Butcher shop had some great looking meat available too.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. If they didn't like their job, they all faked it really well. I have spent more money for lower quality food than today's meal. Only thing missing was a nap to top it off. Go visit and bring your stretchy...
