Deducted 1 star because NC style barbecue sauce is just god awful and it's all they have here. Even…read morethe "red barbecue sauce" I tried to order tasted like straight vinegar. The exit where this Smithfield's is located is one of the last good stops in the drive from Raleigh to Wilmington and unlike the other places around, Smithfield's is one of the few sit-down places. With a large restaurant with plenty of long tables, it's great for a group. You order at the front and you listen to your number to pick up your food and sit. Prices are reasonable ($8-10 for most plates/platters) but the plates are humongous and I wish there were slightly smaller options for people who can't finish 3 huge chicken tenders and three sides. Food was cooked to order but still kind of seemed like they were popping frozen chicken into a fryer and there was a lot of extra fat in the tenders. Fries and hushpuppies were the standouts, with the hushpuppies light & fluffy inside. Baked beans were forgettable but at least not vinegar based like everything else. Sweet tea was basically pure sugar and needed to be cut with lots of unsweetened tea to be palatable. Brunswick stew that my friend ordered was the most reasonably portioned item but really just seemed like all the meats this place cooks thrown together in an unappetizing-looking tomato-based stew. I would not come here again by choice, but it did fit the need of having something passable to eat from a clean restaurant right off the exit when we needed it.

We stood in slow poke line to place order. First mistake employee only gave us two cups instead of three. After getting drinks the order was ready . Brought it to the table to unpack the bag. Mistake number two they forgot the McDouble. Mistake number three my daughter who has a severe onion allergy opened her cheeseburger to find onions.. She took it back up to the counter and told the manager the problem. Manager dumped her cheeseburger and personally made a replacement. We finished our lunch and took drinks to the car for sipping on the road. After ten minutes on the road I got severe gas cramps and needed to find a restroom. We made a side trip to locate the Exxon station advertised. After taking care of the emergency we continued.on.our way home. Once home I took another sip of my High C orange. Once again I became really sick and realized mistake number four, it was the drink that was making me sick,! It got dumped and I was back in the bathroom to overcome my stomachache.

The dining area itself appeared clean, and their posted health inspection score was a 94. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with fries and cheddar cheese bites, along with a half sweet tea and half unsweet tea. Everything came out hot. The cheddar cheese bites were especially good and full of flavor. The fries were hot but a little underdone and not very crispy, although they still tasted good. The half-and-half tea was excellent and very refreshing. One major downside, however, was the condition of the men's restroom. It was in rough shape, with splattered soap all over the vanity area and generally poor cleanliness. It was unpleasant enough that it would make me hesitate to bring my wife or family here unless that situation improves. So overall: friendly service, hot food, and some tasty items on the menu--but the restroom cleanliness needs serious attention. Fix that, and this place would make a much better impression.

We saw this location and thought, perfect! I'm sorry to say from the get go, it wasn't the best experience. The young man at the register clearly wanted to be anywhere but there. He looked bored out of his mind and welcoming just wasn't in his wheelhouse. Our burgers were so overcooked they were borderline burnt. The fries were overcooked and nearly hard. They forgot to put my hot dog in the bag with the rest of the food. The chocolate shake was the only thing that was properly made and tasted very good. If I found myself in this area again I doubt we'd give it a try again.
