You can never go wrong with Smithfield's!!! I love this place and it is some of the best tangy pulled pork I've had. I know there are other spots that do it better in the Carolina's but this place does it for me. Always a great meal, had it two night in a row while visiting. Fat Boy Status!!! read more

Our rest stop adventure for our road trip from North to South Carolina. Service could not have been nicer - everyone wanting to fill your tea, get you some ice, etc. The food was pretty basic BBQ, I had the bbq sandwich. The star of the show was the hushpuppies. Just a classic rendition served piping hot and a nice portion. I wish they didn't fly the confederate flag they fly read more

Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q - Eastern NC pulled pork BBQ, vinegar based - Barbeque Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

Just passing through town. We came in close to 9pm but everything still tasted super fresh. We had mostly chicken, and a little bit of shrimp (popcorn), pork bbq, and a bunch of sides. Great chicken AND pork bbq. Loved the hush puppies, with just an ever so slight hint of sweet. Very good Brunswick stew, and Cole slaw that was fine. After all, it's just Cole slaw. Counter help SUPER polite and a clean dining experience. Def will try one of these again... read more

I absolutely love Smithfield's! They make the best baked beans and coleslaw. That being said I don't think this particular location in Lumberton got the message on how to make a pork and coleslaw sandwich. The one I received was cold, dry and they might of passed the coleslaw spoon next to my sandwich. No taste and so very dry. Please get the employees some training. read more

Another splendid experience at Smithfield's BBQ. I'm amazed at how consistent these people are. I came in at 9 PM and ordered a barbecue sandwich and baked beans and a Sprite. Everything was fresh and hot and delicious and the customer service was stellar. The restaurant was spic and span clean including the men's room. read more

We stopped by for a late lunch on Saturday. It was not busy and we were greeted by the person taking our order. We ordered the regular bbq plate with coleslaw and potato salad and a chicken and bbq plate with french fries and bbq beans. The bbq was good, i really like the vinegar sauce. The fried chicken was also good. We also liked the coleslaw and bbq beans not fans of the thin french fries (floppy and not crispy) or potato salad (unusual texture and not what we expected). We did enjoy the crunchy hush puppies. Store was clean and the one taking our order checked on us and refilled our drinks. read more

This was our first time at A Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q ( in Lumberton NC ) I ordered 2 fried chicken thighs& bbq beans with a lemonade-- excellent fresh juicy chicken, the crispy skin had a tad to much pepper for my personal tastes - The beans had pulled pork in them & fantastic flavor... But a bit thick ! ( who complains about that ?) Hubby had Chicken & Cole slaw Loved both. He was impressed with the flavor of pepper, chicken was hot & fresh! We will definitely try again ! read more

Delicious and abundant food. Kind, friendly and competent service. Totally fair prices for the quantity and quality of food. Great BBQ, decent fried chicken, and totally off the charts hush puppies! Family friendly, fur baby friendly, and shoot, just downright friendly overall. It's a "Y'all come back!" kind of place! read more

I don't have a complaint about the food. it is always good but the prices are ridiculous. I got a pint of Brunswick stew one lg tea and dozen hush puppies. $17.00. that's crazy. love you Smithfield but can't afford you. you got to do better. read more

Was looking for a quick bite in Lumberton and found this bbq joint near the motel. I was not disappointed. Wife and I split a q sandwich and the large plate. Everything was great! Not sure if I like the vinegar sauce or the red sauce better...try them both and you decide! read more

As we were traveling to North Carolina from South Carolina we needed to stop for lunch. I saw one of the exit signs for Smithfield's. I immediately told my husband we had to go. I remember going to Smithfield's when I was younger growing up in North Carolina. My husband is born and raised in South Carolina. I needed to introduce him to North Carolina BBQ! We had the kids with us as well. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and were able to walk up to the counter and order. I forgot how much I like y'all's hushpuppies and coleslaw! I missed the vinegar based BBQ. The portions were more then enough. The dining room was clean. I will definitely look forward to stopping here again when traveling! read more

Great chicken and service!!!! Lovely place to eat. Big portions and real tasty food. Love this place!!!

If you like BBq then look no further this place not only has the BEST around but also has people who were raised with morals working there. I have never tasted bbq that made me close my eyes and smile with just a bite of it in my mouth. I felt like for a moment I was in heaven. I'm not a foodie but after their bbq I can easily become one. Amazing place for anyone. If your in fayeeteville it's worth the drive. I rather give my money to PEOPLE who deserve it sonits not just about the Food to me read more

Smithfields is consistently good. Got the chicken and BBQ plate with double coleslaw. Fried chicken was crispy and hot. BBQ was full flavored and moist as usual. Coleslaw was fresh and delicious. A definite place to eat at. read more

I have been complaining about service at this Lumberton, NC location for some time locally to manager, area manager and calling the owner's, Bullard Restaurants in Raleigh, NC. The owners didn't even have the professionalism or concern to call me back. I guess that makes this all understandable because if the owners at the top don't care, why should anyone else. I tried to speak with the ones in authority before going on Yelp, but they didn't seem to care. They seem to ALWAYS get the order wrong and when you call to complain, it seems to be your fault. When I use my hard-earned money, I would like to receive what I order, NOT what they want me to have. I LOVE their BBQ & chicken tenders, but after complaining on all different levels and NO CONCERN, I think I am done. To tell you how great the service and employees are, we got a hot dog once from there and received only half of the bun. The food is GREAT if they get your order correct. I would advise you set at the window and check your order before driving off. read more

Service was quick through the drive thru. Waiting to see how tasty the food is . Hush puppies , french fries are narrow cut fast food style. Chicken tenders are nice and crispy. read more

The food here just sucks. Tenders were alright but the breading and flavor wasn't there. Potato salad was icky. Fries were alright. The baked beans were the one thing I liked. The barbecue was mediocre. The red sauce wasn't my favorite but that's just personal opinion. And the vinegar was runny and nasty. Everyone was super polite tho. And the actual inside isn't too shabby. I would just never eat here again. read more

First time eating here while on a trip. Went through drive thru. Had the shrimp. It was ok. Tasted very fast foodish. But my husband went all out and was pleased with his bbq. read more

BBQ to go was dry. Not a great flavor. Not a great product. Stay away from the pint size BBQ. However the French Fries and the BBQ sandwich with slaw was much better. I'd like to go inside next time. I remember the Fried Chicken was delicious. Kinda like Popeyes but tastier. I'll up date my review Ina few weeks. Hopefully we will go inside and enjoy some good NC style BBQ read more

BBQ was very good, sides were ok. Service was very disappointing. The lady delivered our food, basically slapped down the plate and it splashed all over my husband and she didn't even acknowledge. Then I asked for more BBQ sauce and the attitude she gave me was beyond rude. In all the meat was pretty good the sides were ok and her service was terrible!! read more

The customer service was excellent, however, you can't eat customer service. The food was weird. I got a large bbq plate. The bbq tasted very gamey... And the potato salad was more like potato soup. Don't do it to yourself. The hushpuppies were the only thing edible and they weren't very tasty either. read more

Came here for the good reviews unfortunately not the kind of BBQ I was looking for, ordered chicken and shrimp with fries but shrimp was very small and chicken was dry, asked for BBQ sauce and got a vinaigrette BBQ which I never had before, crew was very nice and attentive. read more

Quick service and good food if you need to eat in a hurry. Recently changed their seasoning on the fries chicken and definitely better

So while traveling down 95 in N Carolina you gotta stop for BBQ. Its a must. Not having alot of time to spare. I searched for a BBQ place with a drive thru close to the highway. Smithfields seemed to fit all the necessary criteria. We drove up. Placed our order and within a few minutes we were back on the road. The pulled pork really hit the spot, Tasty! The cole slaw side and potato salad are also very tasty. The fries were a big disappointment. Freezer quality and poorly cooked. The lemonade was very nice. Not overpowering and just sweet enough. Perfect for sippin on the front porch. The banana pudding was excellent and the vanilla wafers made it just the way I like it, southern home style. We will be back! read more

Amazing experience! Came here at open, stopping by on our drive to Tampa for a cruise. Great experience with food and customer service. Chicken tenders are super large and 3 may not sound like a lot, but when you see it, it is enough by themselves. Very tender. Sauces that we tried: barbeque and honey mustard were great. Best of all was the customer service by Ms. Pat who stopped by our table frequently, refilled our drinks, gave us extra sauce, brought us a bag all without us asking. For a fast food place, this is exceptional. Great and memorable experience :) Thank you for the experience to start our vacation off right. read more

We walked into a large and bright space. No hand sanitizer but two sinks out in the open to wash your hands. A good sign considering you eat with your hands here! Our order was taken promptly and accurately. We sat down and had a short wait before our food was delivered. My companion and I both ordered dark meat fried chicken plates. Everything was fresh and delicious! The chicken was amazing and the salads were yummy. I'm not a fan of hush puppies but they were okay. Definitely recommend if you're stopping in Lumberton. read more

Clean bathrooms and great service! Food was good too. It was refreshing after a long trip home!

This place was ok. The shrimp and coleslaw were pretty good but the fries we dry and had no taste. The biggest turn off was the price for what you got. It was seafood but it was comparable to the seafood at Popeyes which is significantly cheaper. $10 vs $7 The costumer Service was great though. read more

GREAT fried chicken, and overall a good value ($7 for two pieces, fries, and a drink)! I was impressed by the flavor and how perfectly cooked/moist the chicken turned out. Food was delivered lightning fast, which was another plus. My only niggle was the mediocre fries. Limp, flavorless, and disappointing compared to the chicken. If I return, I will be sure to try some other side next time. read more

This was our first time stopping in here and we couldn't be more happy that we did. We only stopped here to pick up some barbecue for a friend but we're a little hungry so we decided to get two chicken plates for lunch. You could pick white or dark meat and they came with hush puppies, coleslaw and potato salad. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! We got a large sweet tea which is the biggest large I've ever seen and it was the traditional super sweet southern tea. The only complaint I have is the floors were very slick but that won't deter me from going back. Anyone heading through lumberton, NC should definitely stop here for a bite. You won't be sorry! Also there is the sweeetest little old southern lady there that delivers the food to the tables. She is definitely a gem! She made the meal that much better and we hope she is still there next time we stop in. read more

How can you claim you have BBQ when it iis oven baked pork drowned in vinegar. Grant it I don't care too much for vinegar but I assumed it would be cooked over some type of wood. Pretty disappointed in that. Service was great people were nice and the restaurant itself was clean. read more

Good food as always. Ordered the BBQ platter with baked beans and mac n cheese. Everything tasted great and came out quickly. Friendly service behind the counter and in the dining area, especially by the vertically challenged mature lady with short white hair. She stopped by the table a couple of times to clear our plates and chat with the kids. read more

Food was aight. Service was great, good people there, the iced tea I bought was pretty repugnant though.

Not impressed. Crew was nice and fast. But, the only thing we enjoyed was the sweet tea. The BBQ was drowned in vinegar. The chicken and hush puppies were grease logged. The fries tasted like school lunchroom fries. The slaw was blah & the beans were ok. Not impressed with what we ordered. But, was able to eat enough to take the hunger pains away and get back trucking. read more
