Pulled pork, baked beans, French fries, gallon store made iced tea (Sweetened)
Jeffrey D.

Pulled pork was well cooked and tasty. The BBQ sauce was tangy and a bit spicy. Not bad. I should have picked a more flavorful sauce but that's on me. BBQ beans were baked beans from a can. Little disappointed. I normally get awesome beans from barbecue places and these were ok but they could and should do better. Fries were a bit soggy and undercooked. They didn't include ketchup nor did I see where you could ask for it. The gallon of iced tea was hot and not the store brand I paid for. So, have to chuck it in the freezer to have it chill down. I tasted it and it seemed ok but not what I paid for. All in all the food was ok especially the pulled pork. Don't know that I will order from here again as being in NC there are a lot of better choices

Chopped Brisket

This is hard to accept as "two meat". If someone only ordered a one meat plate they might have gone hungry... I think we can do better Dickey

Decided we would try again and at this rate not sure how much longer this place will survive. Let me start by saying we were looking for some where different for barbecue so we ended up here big mistake. There wasn't ten people in the restaurant on a Friday should of been my first sign but decided to order, We ordered a brisket plate (one meat) with potato casserole and a 3 meat plate rib, brisket and barbecue plate with Mac and cheese and chili. After waiting over a half hour (she did apologize for the wait) the food was awful we dumped most of it in the trash it was awful.... Even after putting sauce on it the food was dry and tasted bad.. we will definitely not return to this location...

Pretty good for small town bbq! Their pulled pork sandwich was reallly juicy and flavorful - got…read moreslaw on top and it was delicious. Their brisket sandwich was less good in my opinion - a bit tough and dry. For sides I shared sweet potato fries and fried okra - both were good but the fried okra dipped in ranch was tasty asf! They only offer one table side bbq sauce which was a sweet vinegar based sauce that I really enjoyed. Food came out quickly. Definitely recommend! PS they have a decent variety of food on the menu but don't have sausages here yet.

I wish I could give this place a better review because it seems right up my alley. Counter serve…read morebarbeque is a staple in Texas and usually ends in a very good experience...unfortunately can't say the same here. About the only good thing is the price is pretty low and serving size reasonably big all things considered, so I guess I'll start with that. The people working there were super nice too. Some information first, drinks are bottled, including water, except for iced tea. They also don't serve sweet tea, they have "Sweetened Tea" which is not the same. The pulled pork was closer to pork mush and had almost no flavor at all. If you took a pork butt and put it in a slow cooker for a day and a half I'm not sure you would be able to tell the difference. I tried the meat by itself and even when I was trying to find a smoke flavor there was none. The meat was so overcooked that it turns into mush as soon as you start chewing it. On the way there, my wife asked me why a restaurant would only serve chopped brisket. I laughed and said a lot of times it means that they aren't good at cooking brisket, use cheap cuts and don't trim it properly (To save money), and so they chop it all up and drown it in BBQ sauce hoping you can't tell the difference. I was hoping this was an exception especially since it's one of the few places around here serving brisket. It was not. The brisket didn't have any intermuscular fat at all, the only fat came from what had been chopped into it. The meat itself was tough and it was soaked in BBQ sauce which still wasn't able to hide the dry/tough texture of the meat. I wish I had an earlier experience to compare this to especially with the history of good reviews here. I suspect they may be in the restaurant death spiral that happens when food prices spike. That would explain why there are so many good prior reviews and the later ones are tanking. Oh almost forgot, they have a lot of merchandise for sale up there that is very not kid friendly. If you don't want to explain what it means that "It's not a sin to get my sauce on your chin" among other things maybe take your kids somewhere else.

Nice touch. Inside they were mopping down the kitchen - in the middle of the day! You're not gonna find that at almost any other quick service place. Employees were so friendly. The Brunswick stew is just the best. Nobody does it better. Chicken tenders are huge! One snack meal is really enough for 2/3 meals. Delicious.

It didn't start well, my visit to this branch of SCNB, as the person taking my order wanted to…read moreargue with me about what the dish was called. I literally read the name of my selection off the menu board several times, and at least twice pointed out to them what I wanted on the menu board directly behind them, yet twice the guy insisted they had no such selection. Only after he confirmed with his fellow employees what I wanted would he accept my order. Jerk. What I picked: jumbo tender and barbecue plate (wish I'd taken a photo of the menu board). The order was slow to arrive, though I found out that's because the tenders were being freshly made. And the plate contained an impressive amount of food when it arrived. The barbecue wasn't bad, the chicken was indeed hot, and the slaw and potato salads were nice additions. I didn't care much for the hush puppies as they didn't seem very flavorful and were too dry. One of the other staff members was kind enough to fill my drink cup several times as I worked my way through the plate. That evening, and during the following morning, my stomach did not handle the meal well at all. I hadn't noticed any off-putting flavors in the food, but clearly something did not sit well with my digestive tract. So between the early issues with the service and the frequent bathroom visits I made in the hours following my trip to Smithfield's, I'm afraid I've gotta suggest that you look elsewhere if you are in search of a good experience in the Aberdeen/Southern Pines area. If you decide to take a chance here, I hope your fortunes are better than mine were!

When I first visited Southern Pines years ago, my mom took me here. I was a little bit skeptical,…read moreI'm not going to lie. It's right next to a gas station and the name...well...let's just say I had questions. Usually it's the places that are a hole in the wall and dives that are the best, though. Let me just say...after I ordered my sandwich and saw that it came with pickles, I was already a happy camper before I tried the sandwich. That was probably around four years ago. Then I took a bite...and it was unlike any sandwich I'd ever had before. It did get a little messy, but what's good food without it being a little messy? Honestly, I'm kind of a mess so it probably had something to do with that. Four years later - nothing had changed. I love going there to get a sandwich when I'm in the area. I just wish they were open a little later. My top three picks are the Birdie, Greek, and Real Italian. You can't go wrong with any of them. I've also tried the Wally, Sand, Pitching, Flip, Original, and New Yorker (sometimes a family member will let me try some of their sandwich...and vice versa). All great. There is just something about my top three though. I love that they are made fresh to order, that you can customize them, that they have an option for gluten free bread, and unsweetened or sweet tea (their unsweetened tea is delicious). I usually get an extra pickle when I remember. They have decent selections for sides as well. Nothing like a good sandwich from Wedgies and a cool drink in the summer! I do wish for more drink and side options...but that's me being super nit-picky. Get yourself a sandwich from Wedgies! You won't be sorry. Sometimes, calling ahead or placing an order ahead is the best way to go because it's usually very busy. Give a nice smile to all the kind people there as well. They do work hard!

Unassuming location, but the capacity quickly became overwhelmed at lunch, because clearly many…read morefolks know how good these sandwiches are. Yes, the bread is quite peculiar but it's delicious, and the stuff between the "slices" is equally good as well as plentiful. I went with the Real Italian and found it full of flavor. Now I'll need to make a few return trips and try some of the other selections.
