The wife and I stopped for dinner while traveling home to Washington after visiting with family in…read moreKernersville, NC this past Sunday, 9/28/25. We were in the mood for some fried chicken and BBQ. The fried chicken was perfect and the BBQ tasty, as were the french fries, cole slaw and brunswick stew. Their sweet iced tea is next to southern perfect, too. My wife, once a food service employee many years ago, commented to Christina, the manager, about the impeccable cleanliness of the bathroom. I can attest to the same in the men's bathroom as well. My wife remarked that a clean bathroom is usually indicative of a clean kitchen area as well. Smithfield Chicken & BBQ in Zebulon is well run with friendly personnel and a top-notch manager with Christina in charge.

The bar glows under lighting as unique as the stories told across it, while the keg urinals prove they don't take themselves too seriously. It's the kind of place where craft and character collide. The bar goes on longer than most stories told across it -- a gleaming stretch of wood lined with more chairs than you can count. Soft glowing lights keep things warm and easy on the eyes, while TVs hum with the game (or the drama). But the real stars here? The staff -- quick with a pour, quicker with a smile, and just the right amount of banter to make every seat the best one in the house, they serve an old fashioned so smooth, it feels like sipping timeless charm with a twist. Lo and Behold! A bottle of SKYY behind the bar? Guess heaven really is within reach. Step onto their small rooftop patio--two staircases up and suddenly you're in your own little hideaway. Don't let the height fool you: the amazing staff runs up and down like caffeinated superheroes, making sure your drink is as perfect as it would be at the bar. Cozy, breezy, and just far enough from the crowd to feel like your secret spot, but close enough to get the same top-notch service. At Norse Brewing Longhouse cheesy dreams come true: a pimento cheeseburger that winks at you, with beer cheese tots doing the perfect cheese dance on the side. Zebulon's favored restaurant. Cheers!

I let him know the food was great, home cooked and good portions. The one thing that ruined the evening was the RUDE waitress, he walked up to the table and before he could sit down she bought my drink out, she asked what will you have to drink, he's looking confused and responds still standing, well what do you have? She rambles all the options so fast I'm not sure he understood all but made a choice. Then he sat down. She came back and slid it on the table like a fly by.. Soon she bought a hush puppy basket they were cold, I dare not complain she was so nasty and distant. Next she came back, order book open and I was like it's his 1st time, she didn't say anything, she just looked out the window and waited, so we just knew we needed to order, so I named my meat before I could finish SIDES??then he simply asks did they have bone in chicken ( I didn't know he was going to ask or I would have told him beforehand) she says no we have , fried chicken breast tenders, sisco chicken etc, she named every chicken dish on the menu without taking a breath.. I can give her props for knowing that..we both were looking at her confused and she never looked at us it was always "looking out the window " He said just give me "Flounder " one piece or two??? He replies one, SIDES??? Like we needed to be on point. She took the menus and left. She asked the questions she needed but was mean, not engaging and just rude. The WAY she asked.. When our food came this waitress walked by and literally slid our food on the table in a way that was like HERE! And kept walking I don't even think she stopped when she put them on the table she may have slowed down. We had to reach towards the end of the table to slide our plates in front of us. We both looking at each other in agreement she just nasty! The next time she came back she walked by and sat down a half glass of refill for his drink, she hadn't asked she just did it, suppose he wanted a glass of water? When we put our forks down she came over to get his plate and bought me a to go box as I still had half my food on my plate and she left the ticket. She didn't say is there anything I can get you or anything the entire time. He put his pymt with the ticket and put it on the edge of the table, I hadn't been in a while so I forgot we would pay on the way out. She was cleaning the floor near us and slid our ticket/pymt farther on our table, as if it was in her way, again he's confused so he said this is ready and she let him know to pay up front. I have never experienced such a nasty waitress at this restaurant and because of this I probably will never go back. I don't like not feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place where my money and time is going into. I started to complain before I left but in reality I don't think it would have mattered, and we left a tip not as much as we would have if she was more pleasant. I don't know whether she was having a bad day, a long day or to take it personal but I can't deal with attitude like that and won't take a chance on it again. This man drove a hour to experience this was just unbelievable!!!!

The cashier was friendly and asked me if I wanted water because that sandwich was "thick". She was being funny, which I appreciated because the order taker was the polar opposite. I declined the water, and went to park to eat my sandwich. I was sad to see that my sandwich was NOT fresh and was cold. The meat was like rubber. Why?? It was a little after 11 am, so it shouldn't have been old like that. I didn't feel like going inside. So, I just threw it away. Next time, I will pay more attention and check it before I pull off.
