    The food is on in seasoned most of the time. My husband loves it, but I can't stand it.

    Great experience! Food was fresh, delicious and exactly as ordered. You order first, then sit down…read moreand they bring the food to you. The tables were wiped down right before we sat down. Bathrooms were clean, and the food was delicious. I had a potato soup that was so delicious and thick I could have used a fork to eat it. Staff even came to our table to remove our trays when they saw we were finished. Great experience.

    It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon, so I decided to try the newest location of Chicken Salad Chick…read morewhich is only a half mile from my house! I'm glad I placed my to-go order online, because they were slammed. Since this location's grand opening was only 4 days ago & this is their first weekend since opening, I wasn't surprised. All of their food is freshly made and includes a freshness date on the back of packaged containers. I also like the fact they have minimal ingredients which are also included on their to-go containers. As soon as I got home, I devoured their Jalapeño Holly chicken salad! It was delicious with the perfect amount of mild heat. I could have taken it hotter, so even if you only like a little heat, this is a good option. I also ordered their Fancy Nancy chicken salad and pimento cheese, so can't wait to give them a try. Pro Tip: Before visiting, create an account on their website. You'll also earn rewards points for your online orders https://www.chickensaladchick.com/menu/271815 That way before you visit, you can read through their menu, because they have 13 variations of chicken salad as well as sandwiches, salads and soups. They also have a Quick Chick cooler for freshly prepared grab and go items. Not to mention their temping desserts!

    Smithfield BBQ in Warsaw is pure comfort food for me. It's right in my small hometown and no matter…read morehow long I've been gone, this is always one of my first stops when I'm back. It's just that kind of place that brings me so much comfort. This restaurant is reliable, unfussy, and really good at what it does. As is the case throughout the South, the fresh brewed iced tea is one of the highlights. One sip and it immediately tastes like home. My favorite thing on the menu has always been and will always be the Brunswick stew. It's absolute comfort food that's warm, hearty, and nostalgic in a way that hits every time. It's an Eastern North Carolina tradition, and Smithfield BBQ is one of the best in the business. As for other regional specialities, the hushpuppies deserve their own shoutout too. The slightly sweet cornbread batter is perfectly fried every time, which makes these little carb morsels crunchy on the outside yet soft and fluffy on the inside. I've been eating them dipped in ketchup since I was a kid and I'm not about to stop now. Quit quietly judging me, LOL! The bbq sandwiches are messy and not designed to be easy to eat on the go, but the bbq plates are the best deal. I love getting the pulled pork plate with potato salad (the best). Since I'm Eastern N.C. born and raised, I basically was born with a taste for classic vinegar bbq sauce. Smithfield's is terrific, and I love drowning my pork in that tangy goodness. Every bite seriously brings me back to lazy summer Sundays hanging out with my best friend in my Grandmama's grassy backyard. You can't put a price on those culinary memories.   Service is fast, takeout is easy, the dining room's small but cozy, and there's even a drive-through for when you're in a hurry. Smithfield BBQ is not trying to be trendy or fancy, nor have they ever been. It's just a place that serves really solid Eastern North Carolina BBQ done right. For me, Smithfield's isn't just a restaurant, it's a family tradition.

    Super convenient location right off of 40 with some terrific food options. Been to this franchise…read morebefore so decided to swing off of route to grave 2 pints of pulled pork to take home since we don't have any of these franchises at home (unfortunately). Very clean and well kept restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They even have additional picnics tables out back as well. Lots of BBQ options. They also have chicken fingers and tons of sides. They have pork rinds that are great as well. They even sell some merchandise to take home with you. Don't leave without some pulled pork! It's a vinegar based sauce and oh so delicious. Worth the stop!!! Super friendly employees and just a terrific NC local restaurant offering fabulous food with lots of options.

    My wife and I visited Chef & the Farmer in Kinston to celebrate my birthday, and it turned out to…read morebe one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in years. We were delighted to be personally greeted by none other than Vivian Howard -- James Beard Award-winning chef, restaurateur, television personality, and author. It was our first visit since Chef Vivian reimagined the restaurant into its current format: an intimate, chef-driven dining concept she calls "Chef New," inspired by one of her favorite restaurants, Chez Nous in Charleston, where a compact menu of six rotating daily selections keeps the focus squarely on quality and creativity. Chef Vivian herself seated us, and from that moment, the warmth and intentionality of the experience never let up. We were fortunate to be seated directly in front of the open kitchen, where we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Hope and watching the culinary team work with quiet precision. Every member of the staff -- from our server to the pastry and salad chef -- contributed to an atmosphere that felt both refined and genuinely welcoming. The prix-fixe menu, which rotates weekly, offered a wonderful range of choices. We opened with a starter of soft-shell crabs -- caught just two hours prior -- served with charred scallion mayo and a bright corn relish. The dish was extraordinary: delicate, fresh, and perfectly executed. My wife's Brussels sprouts, tossed with spiced peanuts and goat cheese and finished with a honey vinaigrette, were equally impressive. A generous pour of Sorgente Prosecco made it all the better. For our mains, I chose the flank steak, accompanied by asparagus with green butter and a silky root vegetable purée. My wife opted for the house-made tagliatelle in a shrimp scampi that she couldn't stop talking about. Both dishes were beautifully presented and thoughtfully composed, reflecting the restaurant's deep commitment to farm-to-table sourcing and local ingredients. The meal concluded with fantastic desserts and continued conversation with the staff, who were as knowledgeable as they were passionate. Throughout the evening, there was an evident attention to detail in every element -- from the food preparation to the way each dish was explained and presented. This is the kind of dining experience that reminds you why food matters. We will absolutely be back.

    Everything was delicious! However, she decided to close and the restaurant is no longer open…read more I'll miss eating there for lunch!

They offer a selection of chicken wings, chicken tenders, sandwiches fried foods, side dishes, salads, fruit tea drinks, Pepsi fountain drinks and sweet tea. The prices seem reasonable and they offer combo meals and family meals. I stopped by Cluck & Crisp for carryout recently. I ordered the #2 Meal ($9.49 plus tax): Fried Chicken Tenders - 3pc with fried rice, buttered bread and a sweet tea. My order was all set in 10 minutes. The chicken tenders were standard size (bigger than Raising Cane's), light crisp outside and very hot, slightly chewy with a moist texture. BBQ sauce for dippingbwas included. The fried rice was very plain. The buttered slight thick bread was toasted. Having sweet tea with this chicken meal was ideal, especially on a very warm day.
