    Amazing chicken
    Paul K.

    I don't even know where to begin this review, this place is absolutely fantastic!! What's so great about this place? - everything!! You walk in and you're warmly greeted, you notice how clean the place is, and of course you smell that great fried chicken - which is why I'm here! The front of house staff are really pleasant, whether it's taking your order or giving you complimentary drink refills. The chicken- amazing - great breading with just the right amount of salt, and always freshly fried even if that you'll need to wait for a few minutes for the latest batch. I can assure you that anytime I'm anywhere even remotely close to this restaurant I'll be taking the exit for another box of chicken!

    On our way to Mens Fellowship in Greensboro NC, whole bus load.

    I ordered the chicken and shrimp combo. The line was long but quick, we came in with a busload of men and a sprinkle of wives who were attached to the hip of their husbands. Anyway, the service was quick and the food was hot! The chicken was seasoned, crispy, hot and delicious. The shrimp were itty, bitty, baby shrimp like you would find in a cheap shrimp fried rice. Hot fires and sticky baked beans. Overall I give this meal a 6 out of 10. The service here was exceptional, fast, polite, and service at your table! The ambiance was your typical diner-style atmosphere. Overall service is 9 out of 10. Ambiance 4 out of 10 nothing special.

    Nice family restaurant, right off the exit. This BBQ is flavorful ,moist and delicious. The baked beans are excellent as is the coleslaw. My hubby said the potato salad was good. The service is excellent. We were in and out fairly quickly. The decor is old movie stars pictures on the walls and nice old music playing. The workers at this location were very quick to serve you and they were busy. This place was packed, yet the servers had smiles for all and were very nice. This is s great place to eat. Prices are reasonable.

    We liked our entrées. The barbecue was very good and the chicken strips are working, juicy and humongous. The hush puppies were tasty, but we weren't such a fan of the potato salad, which we both thought was too sweet and for some reason my boyfriend did not like the coleslaw. It was very quick, clean and nice customer service And the bathrooms were nice too.

    Bag Of Fresh Skins
    Debra T.

    This is the go-to place for real country homestyle meals. My favorite item on the menu is the full-size bag of Fresh Skins for a nice price of $5.99 per bag. You won't find Fresh baked Skins anywhere that is cooked to perfection like it is at Smithfield. As far as I am concerned Smithfield Fresh Skins are a high-end delicacy. What hurts the most about the Smithfield Fresh Skins is when they have sold out for the day. To get them you have to get there early in the afternoon to avoid being disappointed when they have sold out. My next favorite food item is the chopped pulled Bar-B-Q. Tasty, tender, and full of sweet pork goodness. If you love country homestyle food then Smithfield is the place to get it. Love the cleanliness, and the wonderful old style pictures on the wall makes this a very unique place to dine.

    Road trip stop and I'm not upset. This place had a super friendly staff that was very attentive. We were greeted and made to feel at home inside of this super clean restaurant. The name speaks for itself because they only serve chicken and barbecue lol. I ordered to Wing snack and I enjoyed it I'll definitely be returning to this place while in North Carolina

    Just wasn't what I was expecting I guess. Fried chicken is great. Super crispy outside, super juicy inside. BBQ chicken I didn't enjoy consistency or taste. That's on me. Cole slaw was just ok. Hush puppies were good. Portions are very generous. Customer service was ok. Not friendly, but not impolite either. Floor was sticky and gross in many spots. Bathroom not really clean either. Didn't satisfy me enough to want to come back. Pit stop on long road trip.

First off, this spot is cozy and rustic, from the antique wooden bar to the brick walls and Turkish lights and carpets. We were immediately greeted and while our host started to escort us to a table, we asked if we could sit at the bar. Of course, was her reply. We took our seats and Melissa came out to give us menus and take our drink order. We went in thinking of sharing a small pizza so I was looking for a glass of red wine to accompany it. I asked Melissa for a glass of Cabernet, but they didn't have any. She told me what they did have and I asked for a small taste of the blend which she happily provided. It was good, so I decided to have a glass. We asked for her recommendations as it is always fun to get the staff's opinion on menu items and she replied that everything is good, but she especially likes the Australian Chicken. We asked about the pizzas and she recommended the George's special and told us we would love it. Sold (although I would really like to go back and try the chicken). The pizza was delivered hot, fresh and flavorful. Toppings included pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. The ratio of sauce on the pizza was just perfect and so tasty. Toppings still had that slight crisp that I love. The crust looked a bit thicker, but was not. It was crunchy outside, but had a wonderful softness to the inside that I loved and a great flavor. Usually, I discard crusts, but I munched on these. We were offered Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Those red pepper flakes packed some heat! We had the best experience thanks to Melissa and the delicious food! I hope that we have an opportunity to come back in the short week we are here.

Jessa, our server was amazing, a great waitress as well as funny and kind. She constantly checked to be sure we were ok, our glasses were always full. The food was delicious, fresh, served hot and clearly made with care. I had the Olympia pasta with chicken, it was delish, my husband's steak sandwich was very tasty as well, just a lot of food. Lastly prices are very reasonable. To add chicken to my pasta was $3.00, and it was a ton of moist tender chicken. We will absolutely return to this gem. Thanks Jessa for making it a great experience.

When I walked in there were only two other tables there and around 4 servers so you would think the service would be pretty fast. Oh how wrong I was. Apparently, the server for me and my guests was April and til this day April never showed up. I ordered mozzarella sticks, shrimp, chicken tenders and fries. The mozzarella sticks came out and were not cooked. Then the lady took the back cooked them in grease that taste old and scorch. I had to sent them back. The food was not hot, fresh, and the taste was just bad. Even the cole slaw look like some one chewed it up spit it back out then drove over it with a big truck then served it. I will never waste driving an hour again to eat at this dump. Even the outside of the restaurant need to be clean and grass cut. The tables were sticky even after cleaning them down. When the order came out part of my order was on my guest plate and the server was like just take your part off. Then she never took accountability for anything. First she blamed the cooks because they are Mexicans. When I asked for honey mustard because the other waitress forgot she was like you didn't ask me to bring it.
