I really cleaned out the place.
What does it mean?
"Clean out" means to empty the contents.
2.) To empty of contents or occupants.
4.) Slang To deprive completely of money or material wealth: The robbery cleaned us out.
So, in this context, it means the person ate all the food, though that's likely a exaggeration. Best inference of the meaning: the person ate a bunch of food.
