    Homemade meals that are delicious. Limited seating but fortunately the turnaround is not bad at all. Friendly wait staff providing excellent service. I highly recommend.

    Great food. Worth the 5 mile drive out to the country. I am addicted to their tenderloin biscuit. The lunch specials are to die for especially on Monday when they have tenderloin and gravy. They also have the best seasoned vegetables each day for lunch. The owner learned how to make hotdogs and hamburgers at the Central Café where he used to work. So they have excellent hotdogs and hamburgers and crinkle cut french fries.

    Hungry man's dream! Good food. Great service. Good price. All of your southern breakfast favorites on the buffet or off the menu. Don't forget to ask for molasses as a side to your biscuit. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Ask for Mary Beth. She'll treat you right.

    Loaded omelette (sausage, bacon, cheese, onion, green peppers), giant biscuit, and home fries. Best breakfast in Rocky Mount, NC.

    See all

    Overall, this food was very good. The shrimp was an absolute favorite. The hush puppies were sweet…read moreand soft. Very good. I did an online order to pick up when I saw it was on the route to our destination and the only thing I can complain about is that we had to big bags with food... including potato salad and baked beans and there was no type or fork or spoon in either of the bags. Or any napkins. Being that they stapled the bags together, i thought they would have at least put some eating utensils in the bag.... But that's okay... we just didn't eat it because we were in a roadtrip and didn't notice until we were back on the highway... it looked delicious... The dark meat chicken and the tenders were cooked to perfection... the wings on the other hand were VERY overcooked. The meat was really hard. The bbq sandwich was a little too sweet for me. Although i prefer sweet bbq over the vinegar taste, this was too sweet for me... but a good flavor. The bathroom was very clean. The dining area was very clean also. Customer service, I'll give like a 7/10. I stood there for a little while and neither of the two guys working the front greeted me or even acknowledged and I was standing there. When the young man who was packing the orders, I think he may have been a manager or supervisor because he had on a white button up shirt with a tie saw me standing there for a little while, he came over and greeted me and helped me get my order. Overall a decent experience... Food was hot and fresh. We would go back.

    I've been here a few times. Each time, the order takers seemed to be stressed & frustrated. They…read moreweren't friendly. They didn't smile. They just looked like they were ready to go home. We've been here during the evening only, so maybe it's just the evening shift workers. When eating inside, the tables have been dirty and the high chairs sticky and dirty. I have had to clean our area and the high chair each time. Then they bring us cold food and we end up having to take it back to request fresh food. We normally don't have this issue at other Smithfield's, so I don't know what's going on at this location. I love their food, so I recommend this restaurant. Hopefully you have a better experience.

    I ordered the Burger Bowl which is an enormous mixed greens salads, bacon bits, sliced egg,…read moretomatoes, cucumbers, red onions topped with 2 burger patties. I originally didn't think I'd finish this salad but it was really fresh and delicious. Very low carb meal. Next time I might try chicken instead of burgers. Husband had the Rocky Balboa burger and a side salad instead of fries. He was a little disappointed in the small size of the burger but it was otherwise good (cooked medium well but not dry) and the salad was fresh. Service was friendly but server had a little trouble remembering if they had Guinness. I would expect the servers to have this information ready as they serve primarily burgers and BEER, ya know. It was an early Fri nt dinner for us so not crowded or busy yet. Noise level was moderate and we could still talk without raising our voices.

Our server was super friendly and informative. We shared that we live in Raleigh and learned that they also have a location in Raleigh on Hillsborough Street. We already have plans to check out the Raleigh location this weekend! The food was all amazing! Clear standouts were the eggrolls and the smash burgers. The sweet potato waffle fries were amazing too. We enjoyed the 90s music and the movie decor on the walls. I'm so glad Yelp suggested we check this place out and I'm even happier to know they have a Raleigh location.
