I just had another delightful meal at Smithfield's. I got the large barbecue platter and it was…read moreoutstanding as usual. I've been to many of their different restaurants and it's amazing how consistent the quality is.

*update May 17, 2026…read more The local manager reached out and I'm impressed. No excuses, but an apology and they are sending a gift card. Here's what I value--old school customer service--I will try them again when we travel that way because they reached out to do the right thing. I'm hopeful and will give them another try. The folks there were frantically trying to fill orders and I'll give them credit. However, when we picked up our order (it wasn't ready on time), it was wrong, awful quality and ended up being inedible. The pulled pork lacked flavor, the portions of the sides was small and the Brunswick Stew was nasty. And I love Brunswick Stew. The pecan pie was some kind of gross blob of gel that tastes nothing like pecan pie. I'm so utterly disappointed. For context, we'd been traveling all day and just wanted some comfort food in our bellies and rest up for the rest of our trip. Such a bummer.

When I walked in, Yessenia greeted me with a huge smile and such a bubbly personality exactly the kind of vibe you want when you enter a place. While Yessenia was taking my order, Eddie popped out from the back, being a bit clumsy (LMBO) and we all had a good laugh. Eddie finished taking my order and smiled the entire time. I ordered the three-piece tilapia with extra rice and salad, and it was perfect. Overall, my experience was a solid 10 out of 10. Big shoutout to Eddie and Yessenia, you guys rock!

First time trying Alpaca. I ordered the Arroz Chaufa. It was good but if you are looking a dish…read morewith a lot of meat you may want to try something different, however, I personally enjoyed the dish. For two dinners and one drink it was around $35.00. The atmosphere is casual but if you are cold natured, remember to bring a sweater or long sleeve shirt. The servers were very accommodating and patient with us as we decided what we wanted. We will definitely go back again.

Errythings better with bacon! We almost always get steak, and I like mine medium rare. They knock it out of the park every time. I love the steamed broccoli...get it with the spicy steak seasoning and some butter...I ask for a lemon wedge to spritz over it...scrumptious! Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes are always cooked to perfection. The tea (we get half sweet/half unsweet) is always a winner. Waitstaff is always top notch and dialed in. It's a great place for people to gather and they are adding outdoor seating, which will be wonderful this fall! I could eat their steak every day. Went Sunday after church and cannot wait to go back. Make the trip to Ribeyes in Williamston...just leave some steak for the rest of us!

Smithfield BBQ in Warsaw is pure comfort food for me. It's right in my small hometown and no matter…read morehow long I've been gone, this is always one of my first stops when I'm back. It's just that kind of place that brings me so much comfort. This restaurant is reliable, unfussy, and really good at what it does. As is the case throughout the South, the fresh brewed iced tea is one of the highlights. One sip and it immediately tastes like home. My favorite thing on the menu has always been and will always be the Brunswick stew. It's absolute comfort food that's warm, hearty, and nostalgic in a way that hits every time. It's an Eastern North Carolina tradition, and Smithfield BBQ is one of the best in the business. As for other regional specialities, the hushpuppies deserve their own shoutout too. The slightly sweet cornbread batter is perfectly fried every time, which makes these little carb morsels crunchy on the outside yet soft and fluffy on the inside. I've been eating them dipped in ketchup since I was a kid and I'm not about to stop now. Quit quietly judging me, LOL! The bbq sandwiches are messy and not designed to be easy to eat on the go, but the bbq plates are the best deal. I love getting the pulled pork plate with potato salad (the best). Since I'm Eastern N.C. born and raised, I basically was born with a taste for classic vinegar bbq sauce. Smithfield's is terrific, and I love drowning my pork in that tangy goodness. Every bite seriously brings me back to lazy summer Sundays hanging out with my best friend in my Grandmama's grassy backyard. You can't put a price on those culinary memories.   Service is fast, takeout is easy, the dining room's small but cozy, and there's even a drive-through for when you're in a hurry. Smithfield BBQ is not trying to be trendy or fancy, nor have they ever been. It's just a place that serves really solid Eastern North Carolina BBQ done right. For me, Smithfield's isn't just a restaurant, it's a family tradition.

Super convenient location right off of 40 with some terrific food options. Been to this franchise…read morebefore so decided to swing off of route to grave 2 pints of pulled pork to take home since we don't have any of these franchises at home (unfortunately). Very clean and well kept restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They even have additional picnics tables out back as well. Lots of BBQ options. They also have chicken fingers and tons of sides. They have pork rinds that are great as well. They even sell some merchandise to take home with you. Don't leave without some pulled pork! It's a vinegar based sauce and oh so delicious. Worth the stop!!! Super friendly employees and just a terrific NC local restaurant offering fabulous food with lots of options.

Differently try those two sides. The only disappointment were the French fries, cold and rubbery. But, we were not interested in the French fries, that is why we ordered the okra and mushrooms.

It is a fast food restaurant so nothing fancy but, but it was clean and organized.

The base option at HCK is the perfect amount of spice when you don't want an overload! I also usually don't like crinkle cut fries but HCK actually lets them get fried, they are not a soggy mess lol. There a quite a few hot chicken options in Greenville these days, but I'll stick to HCK!!

We ordered delivery and I will say, it came pretty fast though we do live close by. That chicken sandwich. SO good!! I was a little leery at first, but wow! I'm glad we did country style because I do think it might've been soggy had we gotten sauce and then delivery, but it was fresh and hot! Our kids can be a little picky with chicken strips, but even they really liked these! Probably not a regular stop for us as it is a little pricey, but totally worth it. Flavor was on point, freshness as well!

Even so, I enjoyed a tasty plate of collards right here at the beginning of July on Friday. I did doctor them up with a generous application of Texas Pete...vinegar + heat. Makes perfect sense if you like it spicy! The plate also had potato salad and ham, with 2 expertly made 1/2 & 1/2 iced teas. If you like collards and you like potato salad and you like ham...then get your rear in gear on some Friday and order up a plate of southern soul food at its best! Did I mention the hush puppies? No? It's cause I ate them all! Don't even need butter! I'm no fan of the corn sticks tho, but I don't like those from anywhere. Can't wait for the first frost later this year! King Chicken offers down home old school friendly no frills service, and while it's not an eat-in restaurant, I don't mind snagging a plate and heading back to the house to give thanks and partake.

Made the drive to Washington to try this famous local spot - the building itself is pretty rundown,…read moreparking spots a bit limited. You order at the window and wait to hear your name hollered. The young lady that placed our order was not friendly. Period. Borderline rude and made it pretty clear she didn't want to be at work. Onto the food - the fried chicken was good, the corn nuggets very yummy. Didn't care for the potato salad. The yellow cake with chocolate frosting was average, didn't finish it. Not sure we'd eat here again.
