Clio has two restaurants worth knowing, and that is the whole list. Haglers BBQ handles barbecue and burgers on AL-10. El Vergel handles Mexican on Louisville Street. Neither posts reliable hours online, so in this corner of Barbour County the phone call is part of the plan. Both numbers are below.

Haglers BBQ, the top pick
Haglers BBQ sits at 2601 AL-10. Reviewers on Restaurantji single out the bacon cheeseburger and the pulled pork, and the recurring theme is homemade taste at low prices. Plates run barbecue standards: ribs, pulled pork, beans, and slaw.
Call 334-397-2694 before you drive. Hours are not posted consistently online, and a roadside spot in a town of about 1,000 people sets its own schedule. Cash is the safer bet, and ordering to go is normal when the small seating area fills.
El Vergel: menu and details
El Vergel is Clio’s Mexican spot at 3257 Louisville St, and it is what people in town mean when they say they are getting tacos. The menu covers Mexican basics, tacos and burritos at the center, with portions that reviewers describe as generous for the price. Directory ratings average around 4.0 stars on local listings.
The menu is not published online, which is why searches for it dead-end. The fix is direct: call 334-397-4824 and ask what the kitchen is running. The spot also stocks tienda goods, so grab drinks and snacks for the road while you wait. It runs six days most weeks, with the usual small-town caveat that a phone call beats a wasted drive.
Between the two, pick Haglers for BBQ and burgers, El Vergel for tacos and a family-priced dinner. In a town this size, having both is the win.
More options 20 minutes away in Eufaula
When Clio’s two are closed or the group wants choices, Eufaula sits up the road on Lake Eufaula with the county’s real restaurant depth. Cajun Corner covers fried seafood and posts its hours online. Phil’s Barbeque handles the smoked side. Beef ‘O’ Brady’s runs the sports-bar format. The Eufaula restaurant list keeps the current field with ratings.
