    Chicken Tender Platter
    Jackie S.

    SCNB is a North Carolina chain that features, you guessed it, BBQ and chicken. You can place an order for takeout or delivery on their website or you can order at the counter in the store and seat yourself. This location has a large parking lot and plenty of seating on the inside. It's basically a fast food joint and the food came out almost instantaneously after I ordered it. I got the BBQ Pork Platter ($10.50) and the Chicken Tender Platter ($10). The BBQ was sauce is vinegar based but it was unimpressive and both the sauce and pork tasted really bland. The chicken tenders were better but also lacked flavor and I had to douse it in a ton of hot sauce. The best part of the platter was the hush puppies. TLDR: Ironically, the hush puppies were the best part of the meal at Smithfield's Chicken 'N BBQ.

    Customer service was just SPECTACULAR! Make me feel like someone cares for the customer! Thanks ladies

    I wasn't really impressed . The beans and Mac and cheese tasted like A wife that never learned to cook . And the chicken was bland .

    Always one of my first stops when I come to J'Ville. Large BBQ platter is my poison. Cannot beat Smithfield's BBQ.

    Man Omar really took care of my Team, we came in from Cleveland Boxing tournament, stopped here to get something to eat. The food was fantastic. Omar service he provided, was outstanding refilling our drinks to bring in food for a table.. when we didn't know what we wanted, he let us sample the barbecue. My hat goes off to Omar and his service.

    This is a must do stop for us when we're in NC. The bar-b-q is scrumptious as well as their hush puppies and iced tea. The food is affordable and staff are very friendly. The establishment is always clean and accommodating.

    No fried okra, no Mac and cheese, not even green beans! These are bbq staples in North Carolina.

    Great service and tasty food. Chicken tenders are huge! Their stew is delicious and hush puppies add the perfect crunch.

She explained the available meal options and even brought out a sample platter for us to make an informed decision on our individual meal choices. She described all the sauces available with recommendations on mixing sauces as an alternative option. She was super sweet to bring us desserts to end our delicious meal. All the workers there were really nice and helpful! Parking: Easy and plenty. Space: The restaurant was decorated with all things in support and honoring those of service (firefighters, veteran, military, etc.). Open seating after placing your order. Average noise just really depending on how full the restaurant is. Clean and tidy, including the bathroom. Overall, good food and good vibes! Go give them a try if in the area

    First time trying Mission BBQ since reading they are top 5 chaon for brisket. I'll have to say…read morethey definitely know what they're doing. Brisket was delicious, ribs were really good. BBQ beans and creamy corn sides were both good. Cornbread was some of the lightest fluffy I've ever had. They have a total of 8 sauces so you can find your favorite. Have to ask for white sauce. Service was fantastic for a seat yourself place. "Myra" circled the seating area offering samples, explained sauces, checked if you needed anything. Place was clean and well kept

    This review is long overdue…read more Can't believe I haven't reviewed this restaurant yet. My experience with Thig's BBQ goes back to around 1999. I was stationed at Courthouse Bay and it was the first time I experienced Carolina whole hog bbq. Dan worked on base, but also provided the instructor staff with Carolina bbq and all the fixins'. I was hooked! After years of serving all over the place, I was happy to find out he opened his own place, Thig's BBQ House & catering. The family and I ate here a few times trying everything they had. Every time we come here, we know the food, service, and atmosphere is great. We enjoyed it so much, Thig's catered my retirement. All communication was through the daughter, who I believe handles the catering. I gave her the back story which she appreciated. She delivered the catering on time and set it all up. There was so much food! Brisket, pork, fried chicken, vegetables, and tea. Everyone raved about the food! I think we ordered too much, but it was worth it. We ate leftovers for as long as we could. I'm definitely impartial to Thig's for Carolina BBQ. I'll continue to enjoy this place as long as I can. Highly recommend giving Thig's a try!

    Another review I've already written and yelp disappeared it…read more So here we go again. Clean somewhat sparse decor lacks personality, almost to the point of feeling sterile. I hope they spruce the place up over time. Like many places post-COVID they have things on their website menu they no longer sell. My wife made a point of praising the hushpuppies, some BBQ joints are not worth eating but these were good. I was hoping for spare ribs, Kansa City style ribs or beef ribs but they don't do those anymore. The beans were good and worth eating, the brisket was moist and not too smoky. We generally liked everything. One thing for oaths with sensitive hearing, because there are few decorations and hard walls and floors the room is kind of loud and echoey. I hope they make some effort to soften the sound, hang some soft decorations or do something to make the sound more appealing instead of the sound of an empty warehouse.

    Southern Harvest Soul Food - 3 out of 5 stars…read more I hate to be the guy who leaves bad reviews, especially after giving a place multiple chances, but this was unfortunately the last straw for me. I drove nearly an hour to get to this restaurant, excited to try the oxtails. Upon arrival, I was told they were no longer being served because they were out. This marks the third time I've driven there specifically for oxtails and was unable to get them due to being out of stock. This wasn't late in the afternoon either--I arrived right at lunch opening. I know what some of you are thinking: why not call ahead? You're absolutely right. That mistake is on me, and I've definitely learned that lesson. On a previous visit, I tried the shrimp and grits, and I'll give credit where it's due--they were actually phenomenal and easily the best thing I've had there. Unfortunately, my other experiences haven't matched that quality. The last time I visited, I settled for the brisket burrito. While sweet and savory can work together, this one was overwhelmingly sweet and just didn't hit the mark. I also asked for a Diet Coke and was told they only had Sprite, regular Coke, and water, which was surprising. My wife ordered the biscuits and gravy, which had almost no flavor. For a southern soul food restaurant, that was pretty disappointing. I don't plan on coming back. I'm not mad--just disappointed. I hope this review helps others avoid making a long drive expecting a specific dish only to find out it's unavailable.
