    Always packed on Friday nights. Local favorite. Food and service is great. Children love to walk the catwalks and see the animals.

    You know we come for the biscuits and we stay for everything else!…read more Well, I needed try indulge in the returning fan favorite of Endless Shrimp. They were very busy in a Friday night but we were sat immediately. I ordered the kids chicken tenders for my son and the Endless Shrimp with a Strawberry Margarita. The got those cheesy, buttery baked biscuits to start and our drinks came slightly after. Now, I placed my son's order with our drinks, if you have kids, you know. They took his order to the wrong table and they had to remake it. We didn't get his order until my third order of shrimp came out. He happily ate 3 biscuits but we wasted our money on his meal because he hardly touched it by the time it reached the table. For endless shrimp, you can pick from five selections (fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, marry me shrimp, coconut shrimp and shrimp linguine Alfredo) and one side. I started with the scampi, fried and marry me options with a loaded baked potato. I was not a huge fan of the marry me shrimp, the sauce was breaking down and there were too many breadcrumbs so I stuck to the scampi and fried shrimp. Was able to order about 4 more rounds of shrimp, limit two varieties per reorder, and had more than my share of shrimp scampi.

    First off , I've been in the mood for those biscuits, and they were a solid 10/10. Absolutely hit…read morethe spot. I'd also been hearing about the crab legs, so I had to stop by during Lobsterfest and ordered the Mariner's Seafood Boil and I'm so glad I did. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and worth the visit. A special shoutout to our waitress, Raquel -- she was amazing. Super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The manager on staff (Friday 4/17/26) also came by to check in and made sure everything was top tier, which I really appreciated. I'm already planning another visit because I'm still thinking about how great everything was. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    I first tried Smithfield's Chicken N' BBQ in the early 80's at their second location just off of…read moreHighway 70 in Clayton. The original Smithfield's was opened in Smithfield in 1977, with the Clayton operation beginning in 1979. Since then the restaurant has greatly expanded across the state, now totaling 41, with the 2 furtherest west being in Greensboro and Charlotte. Over the years, I've eaten at perhaps half of the Smithfield locations, and have rarely been disappointed, and in the few where I was, it centered on the service, not the food. As with so much in the restaurant area, things have changed and will surely continue to change with pork barbecue in North Carolina, reflecting changing tastes and changing processes. For example, fewer and fewer cooked over hardwood coals, and very few cook the whole hog - in fact, I think there are only 4 (all in the east) that still do - Skylight Inn, B's, Grady's, and The Pit. Smithfield very much mirrors the changing nature of NC BBQ over the last 30 years or so. The pork bbq for ALL locations is cooked in Smithfield and then shipped to the various locations. Obviously, what you get is less than just off the rack fresh. Still, if I'm close, then a pop in for a combo of bbq and chicken works. I like their slaw. the hush puppies are fair at best, the hot dog totally sucks, and the Chicken Tender Sandwich is really, really good! Don't consider this a destination bbq spot, but I will still go from time to time if driving by. There is some bad bbq sold in NC, but it is most often found at a grocery store or a convenience store - if it has gas pumps keep moving!

    Sweet tea I ordered the other day tasted like coffee grinds was in it and cigarette smoke…read more I used to say that this place makes the best sweet tea in town. Unfortunately, I can't say that any longer.
