Smithfield Chicken & Bar-B-Que

Visiting my brother we came across Smithfield… In North Carolina The place looked really clean and the décor was really cute, the food was not tasteful. The food was very over priced and the shrimp basket if that’s what you want to called it. Was not even appetizing at ALL they were TINY baby shrimp even smaller than popcorn the BBQ chicken was just gross fried chicken was watered down bbq sauce. please waste your money on McDonalds and you will be happy with your dollar menu specials… I will never go back and wouldn’t suggest any one goes there. I’m only two stars because of the décor and cleanness of this business!!!

Seriously, you call that a Shrimp Platter? Let them live their lives a little, before you harvest them! They are so tiny! Edible, yes. But? I won’t be back for these little darlings.

Can I just say how mad I am that I haven’t been here before!!! Their customer service is just phenomenal. Hey refill your sweet tea while you are dining in! And they made recommendations to us since we hadn’t been here prior! And the military discount is unprecedented!!! Almost 50% off! I am so excited about this place and we will be back! Most definitely!!! Didn’t even et s picture because the food was outstanding!

Delicious. You can never go wrong with Smithfield“s for lunch or dinner. I am happy to go here anytime.

This place was awesome. I just moved to the area and this was my first time here. The employees were very nice and answered all our questions about their menu. The amount of food was almost too much to finish for the price. They offer a HUGE discount to military, police, firefighters, and EMS personnel. My family and I will definitely be back, and will quickly become regulars.

Some of my coworkers and I hit this place for our lunch while in town for training. The restaurant was large and clean. The staff was VERY friendly and attentive, constantly clearing tables and offering refills. I was impressed at this level of service and this definitely impacted my experience in a positive way.
I ordered a bbq sandwich w/​fries. The sandwich was large and had a HEALTHY amount bbq/​slaw on it. The bbq was moist and flavorful. The slaw had good flavor, but I prefer a red bbq slaw myself. The fries were cooked well, but nothing special.
The experience on the whole was great with decent price, excellent customer service, and good food. I will return when I’m in the area.

Good BBQ sandwhiches. The chicken is really good but way over priced for fried chicken. Very limited sides to choose from. Friendly staff. The BBQ sandwich combo is a good deal for lunch.

This is only my second time eating here, but Smithfield’s has never been less than outstanding in customer service and quality of food. I’m a huge fan of my Texas brisket but I’ll come here anytime for Carolina style vinegar BBQ.

I was really impressed by my visit to Smithfield’s. I walked in and waited in a short line to order (2 – 3 people), and even though it was short, an employee went ahead and opened another register to serve us faster. I ordered the special– BBQ sandwich, hushpuppies (that was the side I happened to pick), and a drink for $ 5.49. My husband ordered the chicken with french fries and Brunswick stew. We waited only a few moments at the table before they brought the food to us.
The sandwich was HUGE! The slaw looked more mayo based, but didn’t taste like it. It tasted traditional vinegar based, and the sandwich was yummy! My husband also really enjoyed his food. When I asked the «waitress» for some butter, she brought plenty of it. She was extremely friendly and professional and kept everyone’s drinks filled and filled quickly.
I was very impressed by all the employees that worked there. They were very attentive to the customer’s needs, and I would definitely recommend eating here. Also, the restaurant and bathrooms were exceptionally clean, which is always a plus.

Being from Texas, we do BBQ a little differently. I’ve never been a fan of the vinegar based sauce, but with the coleslaw, it is balanced out okay. I asked for a pulled pork without the sauce and slaw, and when I bit into it, my stomach turned immediately. It was slathered in the vinegar sauce. I couldn’t eat it. The prices they charge for food are ridiculous… I understand bbq can be expensive but this is not real bbq. will never go back

Good food and service

Classic Carolina style barbecue.
