I looked online for photos of it ahead of time, couldn't find any, so once we were seated I got directions to it and checked it out. It is simple and adequate but just not what I was looking for so my friend and I decided to order from the menu instead. We started with sweet tea and unsweet tea. The unsweet was nice, freshly brewed and not bitter in the least. The sweet tea was too sweet for my friend to drink so we had the waitress come back with an unsweet and mixed it half and half. I sipped it prior to the mix and wow, way too much sugar. I ordered the Chicken Pita and fries. The sandwich was delicious but despite having asked for cucumber sauce (you get a choice of ranch or cucumber) there was no sauce on it. The chicken was delicious though and nicely seasoned, plenty of onions, and the pita was fresh. I'm not a big fan of crinkle fries but they were a solid 3, as good as crinkle fries can be in my opinion. My friend ordered chicken pie, fried okra, sweet potato, and cornbread. The chicken pie looked more like chicken ala king, not enticing, and no topping or crust. So odd. The flavor was not good, bland and just odd for something served as chicken pie and in the south. The okra seemed homemade and was good, and the sweet potato was fresh and tasty. The cornbread is sweet cornbread and was moist. I had quite a bit of tea so I visited the restroom before we left. Big mistake. The toilet paper was just a big roll balanced on the handicap rail, the paper towels for drying your hands was the same, and the floors and door going in and out were dirty...as in most likely not cleaned well in quite some time. Will I return? Not sure. There are limited dining places in Burlington that are not fast food so perhaps, but I certainly hope they pay better attention to cleaning going forward. When a public space looks like that restroom, it makes me wonder what the behind-the-scenes spaces look like.

My First Visit to Smithfield's -- And Probably My Last…read more I normally don't take the time to write reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt I had to share it. While traveling through Burlington, North Carolina, I saw the signs for Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q and decided to give it a try. Since I live in Georgia, where there aren't any Smithfield's locations near me, I thought it would be worth stopping. I ordered the large shrimp platter with coleslaw and potato salad. I assumed the small and large shrimp platters might refer to the size of the shrimp. Nope! The difference is simply the amount of shrimp you get. Lesson learned! I took my order to go, and when I got to my car, I found two cardboard platters in the bag. One had shrimp, fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw. The other had additional shrimp and three more hush puppies. What I didn't find were any napkins or plastic utensils. When you're traveling and taking food to go, those are pretty basic things to include. I also ordered potato salad, but I honestly forgot about it until I was already on the highway heading south to Georgia, so I can't say for certain whether it was missing or whether I simply overlooked it when checking my order. Now, let's talk about the shrimp. You know those tiny little shrimp you sometimes find in shrimp salad at a buffet? That's exactly what these reminded me of! There must have been around 50 of them, although I lost count, and some were ridiculously tiny. They had a little flavor, but they lacked that satisfying shrimp taste you expect when ordering a shrimp platter. The fries weren't something I particularly wanted, since they weren't what I had ordered. The hush puppies were okay, I guess, but they were shaped more like chicken fingers than the hush puppies I was expecting. Overall, this was not the introduction to Smithfield's that I had hoped for. Maybe I should have ordered the chicken instead! If you're specifically looking for shrimp, I honestly think you'd be better off trying Captain D's or even Long John Silver's. Unfortunately, my first visit to Smithfield's will probably be my last. I was looking forward to trying something new while traveling through North Carolina, but I left disappointed. Based on this experience, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

3.5 rounded up to a 4…read more Burlington's restaurant choices are limited. This is a good choice if you're super hungry and need a date location in Burlington. We were seated within 5 minutes and our server was attentive and nice. Cozy ambience with low romantic lighting. Great for a date. Love all the beautiful flowers in the outdoor garden near the entrance. Food was very tasty but also very rich and heavy. Portions are large so you may want to order a lunch portion if you're not bringing a huge appetite. My Chicken Parmagiano was delicious but 3 people could have split it (I wasn't super hungry). My partner's Alfredo (he added shrimp) was too oily for his taste, but it was good. We both felt sluggish and needed a nap after eating which is not our norm; we generally eat lighter dishes like salads. I recommend that the restaurant start adding a birthday dessert or something special for guests celebrating their birthday at the restaurant.

Since Burlington doesn't have much Italian restaurants open on Sunday, this is probably the only option. I can't say I'd come back though. The pasta is all angel hair even though the menu says spaghetti. I expect multiple types of pasta at an Italian restaurant. So that's disappointing.

My husband and I stopped in on a Thursday evening around 7pm and the place was pretty full. We sat ourselves at a table in the back room, and I noticed how laid back the place was, which is something I really appreciate. Sadly, it seemed that the relaxed vibe extended a bit too far and reflected on their cleanliness, as I noticed all of the chair rails were dusty, the floors a bit littered, our table sticky, and the plastic menus in need of replacing. Service, however, was wonderful. Our waitress was friendly and pretty attentive given how busy she was. My husband was happy with their on tap beer selection, deciding on Red Oak ($3 on Thursdays!). I went with a margarita and it wasn't the best, but thankfully I didn't pay much for it since it was also on special. They were out of the southwestern egg rolls I initially ordered, so I ended up going with the Philly cheesesteak and homemade chips. I enjoyed the cheesesteak's fresh bread; plenty of tender meat, peppers, and onions; and gooey cheese. It could have used more mayonnaise, but it was still quite good. The homemade chips were tasty but undercooked; if I had been hungrier, I definitely would have returned them and asked for a fresh batch. My husband absolutely devoured the cheeseburger and fries he ordered. He said that it was one of the best burgers he's had in quite a while, and this is a guy who loves burgers and eats them often. I want to return to Piedmont Ale House in the future. I think there are some things they seem to do really well, namely burgers and beer at really reasonable prices!
