    1/2 rack ribs

    Back again this time to try out their restaurant week special! All the food was still very tasty! Had pulled pork sandwich and chicken tenders. Both were still so tasty! I love that the meat is smoked so well it does not need sauce. The chicken tenders are nice and crunchy and also don't need sauce because it's just flavorful! A new side we tried was the potato casserole and they were good! Broccoli salad still a favorite! Hush puppies are still delicious. Service was great and friendly. Plenty of seating inside, casual dining area great for a casual evening.

    Everytime we head over the bridge to Smithfield, Daddy's pit master has been on my places to go for BBQ. The parking lot was packed which is a good sign. Upon entry, there was a line forming almost to the middle section of the restaurant. I noticed a few tables and booths that were empty, but filled immediately once people had their food in hand. We looked up at the menu above the counter. I ordered the special 5 smoked wings meal which came with two hush puppies, and choice of two sides. I had the smashed potato salad, and Mac and cheese with a drink. The hubs had the 8oz brisket sandwich, and choice of two sides for an extra $6.95 to make it a meal. He opted for the smashed potato salad, and Mac and cheese. We decided on takeout since it was getting packed inside. We also picked up a bag of bbq pork rinds, and banana pudding. So the brisket was probably the most disappointing. It was fatty and not 8oz. The young lady dug the last bits from the tray then yelled for a refill after it was wrapped. We should've checked the takeaway containers before leaving to ensure everything ordered was correct. The meal was charged $6.95 extra for a wrong side. French fries instead of smashed potato salad for his meal. They were stale and reheated, basically leftovers from a day or two. He took a bite of the brisket sandwich, and didn't want to eat the rest as the fat was overwhelming. The potato salad in my meal was extremely sweet, and with macaroni that was slightly hard. The smoked wings were good. I did enjoy the bbq pork rinds as they were fresh and delicious. The meal was about $70 with tax and tip for takeaway. This was my experience as everyone has their own. Umm maybe more quality control on the meats and sides to ensure everything is fresh, correct, and ready to go.

    We were in the area and decided to come for here for lunch. It was pretty packed so we got our food to go, the line was long but it moved pretty fast. I got the Pitmaster sampler and made it a meal with adding the two sides and hushpuppies and pickles. The meal came with 5oz brisket, pulled pork and two chicken tenders. The meat was tender and seasoned well. I got Mac n cheese and coleslaw. Mac n cheese was pretty good, the coleslaw was decent. The hushpuppies were a bit greasy and I didn't get the pickles. If I'm back this way again I would try their other dishes.

    One bite out of a BBQ sandwich and broccoli salad

    Stopped in for a late lunch with a team from work. We were after the lunch hour and before dinner so it was not crowded. I ordered my favorite puller pork sandwich with slaw and broccoli salad as a side with a molasses cookie. The BBQ was piled high and tasty. There is also extra BBQ sauce available if needed. Good music and extras to buy. They also have good brisket and you can get it fried if you want.

    The service was fast but the food was average. This may just my tastes as the sauce was thick and syrup. Too sweet.

    How do you run out of brisket and sausage before 6pm?

    Hi Tori, We had a line wrapped around the building and a full dining room from the moment we opened at 11:00 AM, and we were grateful to serve thousands of guests. Our pits… 

    The fried pickles that were served for Smithfield's Restaurant Week, are they going to be permanent?? I need them to be!

    Hi Ruth! QDaddy's is pumped that you loved the fried pickles and we've gotten tons of feedback from customers that they deserve a permanent place on our menu. For now, fired pickles are part of our secret menu and you can feel confident ordering…

    We had a weeknight dinner here the other day. Our server was Vickie (sp?), and she was awesome! She…read morerecommended the hibiscus margarita - great choice! Mine had a tajin rim!! We had the wings with the Chef Eddie's sauce on the side. We split a pear and strawberry salad which also had pecans and blue cheese. I don't recall the vinaigrette but it worked well with the salad. We added a chicken breast for extra protein. For my meal, I had the Norfolk combo with the veggie of the day (succotash). The combo consists of sautéed scallops, shrimp, and lump crabmeat in a buttery sauce. It was excellent! My husband had the NY strip off the new elevated menu. He got the brussel sprouts and sweet potato fries. I forgot to take a picture of the fries, but they were good and hot! He said the strip was very good also. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I liked how we sat inside, but a had a view of the water. It's a nice restaurant with great service!

    Had high hopes but sadly the food fell short!…read more The highlights of the restaurant were the waterfront dining and the friendliness of the waitress and the trainee. My husband and I thought the appetizer sampler sounded good and would give us a good idea of their food. The crab cakes with the wonton was not good and the crab dip hardly had any crab in it. The ham biscuits were okay and really the only dish that was as good was the bang bang shrimp. Also even though our waitress was very friendly she hardly checked on us and we had to wait a long time to get our check. The only thing going for this place is the view.
