Climmie's H&M Bar-B-Que and Soul Food — Restaurant in Thomasville

If I could give climmie’s ten thousand stars I would. So my family and I are visiting from miami. We’re in Thomasville this weekend for my wife’s aunt birthday party Saturday. We’ve been here since Thursday. I wanted some good bbq. I tried a bbq spot which I won’t even mention on this post. That place isn’t worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with Climmie’s. I reviewed that place however, because that’s what I do. I give accurate positive and negative reviews. The owner of that spot reached out to me 2 hours after I posted my review, not even worth responding. I checked with the receptionist at the hotel I’m staying at and she recommended Climmie’s. OH MY GOD, I felt redemption for the bad food I brought before. I got there early, I saw the reviews and I said I better get there early. Staff was so polite, I can’t say enough about the hospitality of the staff. I got a rib dinner and rib tip dinner, went back to my hotel. I tasted that food and oh my god, my wife woke up and tasted it. When we both like something we end up fighting over food lol. I met the husband and wife that operate Climmie’s, I hate I didn’t get their names for this review. They were amazing, I told them I might be back that same day and I was. My wife had to have some also, she would’ve ate all my food, lol, so we both went back the second time, in less than two hours lol. I don’t know when I will be back in Thomasville but there is only ONE place that I will eat when I return and it’s Climmie’s. I’d recommend them to anyone visiting the area. Just all around exceptional. Climmie’s actually made the trip for me more worthwhile. I told everyone back home about here. Thank you Climmie’s staff and owners for an amazing experience. The only thing I hate is that we had to leave Sunday to head back to south florida. Ashley (I didn’t get her name when we visited but saw her name on another review), told us that Sunday is the best day, more soul food. I see a review from a Marci, she stated she was there two days ago which would’ve been Sunday, I’m so jealous, lol, we will be back in Thomasville soon, and we will make soul food...

My husband and I visited this wonderful “gem” after googling restaurants in the area and reading the reviews. We were not disappointed! The owner was noticed by me out in the line area greeting his customers who were also in line some he knew some he didn’t. That’s a great sign of good customer service and appreciation of his costumers! He got high points from me right from the start, I didn’t know at that point who he was. (I was hoping he was the owner or a great manager)

Once at the counter to order the young lady was kind and helpful by inquiring if onion (allergic) was in what I wanted. The same guy came out to tell me what items were available for me.

Once paying for our meal that’s when I saw an article identifying the owner!

Now let’s talk about the food……..it was fantastic! Perfectly seasoned and the amount received was unheard of these days! We can’t wait to return finally to a restaurant with great food and service as it should be! My husband ate every morsel and I wished I’d ordered a large Mac n cheese and a meal to carry home.

The old saying: “Eat where the lines are long and where the locals eat” was proven...

Thank you for the Free Birthday meal. Proud to support this black owned Husband and Wife team building a great Legacy.

This restaurant was recommended for good soul food. The food was better than great. We drove from Tallahassee FL in hopes of dining in with a few friends and family but to our surprise this restaurant is take out banquet style with no frizzes. We were served with pleasant attitude and wonderful smiles. We drove home with the wonderful smell of the food lingering in taste buds during a 45 minute ride home.

There were so many options but I decided on Corn bread dressing, Sweet potatoes, 2 large Pork Chops. I was delighted to be offered cranberry jelly on the side for my dressing. My honey decided on mac and cheese, 3 long spare pork ribs and collard greens and corn bread. I am a northern and prefer more sides than meat however my honey is a southerner which prefers more meat than sides. The food was absolutely tasty. I will definitely return on a regular bases and I will continue to spread the news. Sorry No Pics of food....
