I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner; it's a step above and a very unusual find for a…read morerural area where other options are Waffle House, fast food, or fried this-or-that. To give you an idea, my husband and I ate there this evening and here's what we had (all excellent). Appetizers: tuna tartare with capers, wasabi, sesame seeds, lettuce, and crisps. It was well balanced and delicious. The other appetizer was Cambodian Spring Rolls, which were perfectly browned, and eaten by placing them in a romaine lettuce leaf with crumbled peanuts and dipping it in an amazing but light sauce. The textures and flavors played off of each other wonderfully, elevating it far above any regular spring roll you may be thinking of. For entrees, my husband had the special, Paella (saffron rice, mussels, shrimp, clams, and a whole crab, red bell pepper). Every item was perfectly cooked, neither undercooked nor overcooked and it tasted fantastic. My entree was perfectly cooked pan-seared salmon filet, with perfectly grilled large asparagus and the most amazing take on grits I have ever had (not your mama's breakfast grits). They were delicately flavored with butter, a hint of cheese and I don't know what else but it understated while still having flavors that seemed too complex for grits to have, without being overdone. There are menu items for both the more and less adventurous diner, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. A gem in the middle of nowhere.

Well yes, yes you can. This isn't dollar menu cheap but it's perfectly reasonable for what you get. I like the ambiance too, they have elevated ceilings and the dining area is spacious, and it's clean Remember when KFC was good? Well Smithfield's has captured that with their tenders, the meat is tender and juicy, the breading is good and well seasoned it really is what I remember KFC being, delicious. Bbq pork was good, nice and meaty, needs some sauce though, not sure if you're supposed to ask for it separately or what but it was good, just needs sauce, the hush puppies were on point as well, Cole slaw and potato salad all very good I'd be more than willing to come back and try more of the menu

​ High Quality & Healthy Options in Whiteville!…read more ​I stopped by Penn's Grill around 9:30 AM and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is calm and inviting with lovely local decor, and the staff is incredibly friendly. My waitress was very helpful in navigating the menu, which is surprisingly customizable. ​I ordered an egg white omelet with steak and cheese, and it was hands down the best-tasting egg white dish I've ever had--the seasoning was perfect! The steak was tender and juicy, and the homemade old-country style hashbrowns are a must-try. ​While the prices might seem a little high at first glance, the quality of the food absolutely justifies it. It's hard to find places in Whiteville that accommodate healthier breakfast options this well. Highly recommend!
