Before I even start with the food, let me just say that the ladies working the counter were as friendly and polite and welcoming as you'll find anywhere!! Just so nice!! I ordered the sampler platter so I could taste all their meats, and for my 2 sides collard greens (incredible!) and Mac & Cheese (delicious!). From the meats, the pulled pork was my favorite, followed closely by the ribs. Chicken and sausage were good as well. Also - the hot BBQ and Sweet BBQ sauces were very tasty and unique. But again - what made the food taste even better was the INCREDIBLE ladies who welcomed me in. As I was leaving, a man arrived to help them and he was equally friendly, thanking me profusely for coming in. Great people and great food - the perfect combination!

The appear to be very careful to use only quality meat. The bun was great too. My wife commented on how much she liked it. We thought that the banana pudding was as good as we have ever eaten. The Brunswick stew is amazingly good. We took home a pint and the next evening we had it on top of rice for dinner. I think it's really good. BTW my wife doesn't like to go into many BBQ places since you can come out smelling smoked... The place is an old Chevrolet Dealership that's been very neatly turned into a nice looking restaurant. ...and it's not smokey... So on a BBQ Joint scale, the ambiance here is a 10. She was also impressed with the way the place looked. The folks who served us were as nice and friendly as anyone could expect. My wife who is really not a fan of eating BBQ outside of our house, actually suggested that we take the convertible out and drive over for BBQ sometime. It's an hour drive, so that indicates how much she enjoyed the place.

We were driving down 441 last week and remembered the sign at 59 pointing toward Smitty's. We said,…read morewe should go. in my email box this week is my weekly Yelp suggestions and what is at the top? Smitty's! It is a "plate of shrimp" moment of off we go. Smitty's is about a mile up 51 from the biggest truck stop interchange on 85. The building complex is a very cool set of older buildings that look like a barbecue restaurant. There is a giant stack of wood outside so this looks promising. When you go in, seats yourself and someone will be there to serve you right away. The menu is typical barbecue fare with a couple other items too. I ordered the brisket plate, Megan had a chicken fried steak. The brisket was tender and smokey with a little salt and pepper in the seasoning. It was good and meaty. The fries were good as was the okra. The stew was flavorful with tomato and corn. Megan's chicken fried steak was very good. It was beefy and tender and cooked just right. Her potato came with big cups of butter, cheese, and sour cream. And she ate her whole salad. This was a special road trip for use because of the Yelp suggestion. But if we are back in the area again we will defiantly hit them up again.

I ordered brisket and pork with collards and cobbler. My wife ordered the same with the grits and my son had the side of Mac and cheese with his brisket. The brisket slices were think and it was really well cooked. The pork was awesome but the sides were out of this world. Every single one of them was perfect. There were four BBQ sauces to choose from, Eastern NC style, hot, mild and mustard. I am not a huge fan of mustard BBQ (I'm from NC, IYKYK) but I'll say this was the best I had. The hot was my favorite and it had just the right amount of heat. For those that may be concerned about the description of the writing on the walls and divey spot don't be.

I mean, this food was absolutely mind boggling. Barbecue sandwiches 10/10. Burger 10/10. Drinks 10/10. Me and my friends were literally DROOLING. A little quote from my girl Lex," these fries are the best things I have put in my mouth and that's been a lot of things". Coming from her, that means a whole LOT. Our server was one of the nicest woman I have ever met in my entire life. She was nice, witty, welcoming, and sincere. The atmosphere and ambience was life changing. They played some good ole country toons and it was really some fun time. I mean I truly cannot give words to you how transforming this experience. ALSOOO big thing. The prices were PERFECTION. I honestly would charge more for these awesome meals. A little haiku I wrote for this place: I felt warm. I felt welcome. I felt home. Ps... my friend who has some issues in the tummy department said that after our meal.. her stomach was completely A-Okay!!! It's the little things in life.
