    Came here to order a box of chicken to go. Hush puppies came with the chicken. Potato salad was creamy but did not get big chunks of potatoes. The fried chicken was very tender and plump, and the skin was crispy and full of flavor.

    It was a rainy Sunday around 11:30 am I went in Smithfield's - the place was clean and spacious. At the counter the young man was pleasant. I ordered a pound of BBQ to go. Only took a couple of minutes as I was waiting I asked if they had Gluten Free rolls- he said yes and he would put them in the bag. I got the bag and there were no rolls- no problem- I went back up to the counter and paid for the 2 gf rolls ($1.71) I was handed them- I looked in the bag and asked if they were Gluten Free and the other man said No they don't carry Gluten Free- luckily I was able to return them. The BBQ was tender and dry with no flavor- I added vinegar it was a little better.

    3.5 / 5.0 - Good Eastern NC style fast food BBQ. Very spacious inside, with high ceilings. My friend and I ordered a Large BAR-B-Q Plate ($11.69+) to go. It comes with pulled pork, hush puppies, coleslaw and potato salad. I'm more used to Texas-style BBQ, so the pulled pork marinated in BBQ sauce with vinegar and hot pepper was new to me. I also don't recall every having had hush puppies, but they were very tasty. I didn't love the coleslaw and potato salad, which were both watery. Considering the price, I'd say it's a good lunch option.

    I love the chicken, coleslaw, and shrimp here. Their service was pleasant also. I like the hush puppies from The Cook Out a little more. I also wish they had a few more cookies in the banana pudding.

    Chicken Bee is incredible Korean fried chicken, and it has never let me down…read more The chicken is always fried fresh, which means it comes out piping hot, insanely juicy, and perfectly crispy every single time. You can genuinely taste the difference when something is made to order like this. Whether you eat it right there in the H Mart food court or take it to go, the quality holds up. My go-to is the Spicy Garlic, which has fantastic flavor, bold, savory, and just the right level of heat without overpowering the chicken itself. The sauce clings perfectly to the crispy exterior while the inside stays tender and juicy. It's the kind of place you go back to again and again because it's reliable. No surprises, no drop-off in quality, just consistently great fried chicken done right. If you're a fan of Korean fried chicken or just great fried chicken in general, Chicken Bee is an absolute must.

The Supreme Sauced Half Chicken is tossed in a special gochujang sauce (advertised as medium spicy). The sauce was sweet, savory, delicious, and perfectly spicy. It truly had the right amount of spice for me! It made my nose run a little bit (in a good way) but didn't blow my socks off. I was able to enjoy the flavors but had a good burn on the tongue. I got rice as my side. It was overcooked and boring, but the chicken was so good I honestly didn't care. I got rice just in case the sauce was too spicy for me and I needed something to soothe my tongue. When I eat here again, I'll get pickled radish as the side!

The garlic parmesan rub left a pool of garlic in the tray that was an oily mess. The boneless fritters themselves had a strong outer fried shell. Took a bit to dig a fork into. But once you got in, the chicken was an oily mess, there was just a pool of oil inside each bite. I would say my stomach on average is pretty strong and can handle a good amount, but these boneless fritters took me out and I had stomach pain the next day. Would stay away from these and just order normal wings or something else on the menu.

    Woody's Sports Tavern - Morrisville…read more Picked up my better half from RDU after a week away on a redeye. She was hungry, I was smart enough to know better than to go straight home -- so, impromptu Friday night date! We've driven past Woody's Sports Tavern in Morrisville probably 100 times and never stopped. Big mistake. TL;DR -- we should have gone sooner. Parking was easy (though that lot does get crowded later). We got seated right away and met our server, Sierra. We told her it was our first time, and she lit up -- shocked we hadn't been before, excited to give recommendations, and genuinely fun to chat with. Always nice when you can tell someone actually likes where they work. Food rundown: I went Patty Melt with fries, my partner went South Beach wrap with tots. Both were solid, and ironically we each liked the other's sides better... so, swapsies. Service was fast, portions were big (half of mine came home with me), and the price/value was right on point. Overall? Good vibes, hearty food, great server. Definitely glad we finally stopped in -- and we'll be back.

As an African American woman, soul food is more than just food to me. There's a certain authenticity and flavor I expect when I walk into a soul food restaurant. I ordered several items and after tasting everything, I honestly ended up throwing the entire meal away. I took a bite or spoonful of each item just to give everything a fair chance, and every time I moved on to the next thing, it was another disappointment. The mashed potatoes had a strange aftertaste that I couldn't get past. I don't know if it was the gravy or something else, but something tasted off. The barbecue ribs tasted more boiled than slow cooked and were completely drenched in sauce. The cabbage was overwhelmed with vinegar and lacked seasoning. The mac and cheese tasted more like overcooked noodles with cheese instead of flavorful baked mac and cheese. The cornbread was dry, and even the cake was dry. I will say the restaurant was clean and the employees were friendly, so I have no complaints there. My issue was with the food quality and value for the price. Spending around $30 for a meal like this did not feel worth it at all. Maybe other people love it, but based on my experience, I don't understand the hype. The food just did not taste authentic or well prepared to me. I wish I had stuck with my original plans and just gone to Mikey's Diner in Wilson, North Carolina instead. At least I would have left satisfied. For me, this wasn't worth the drive, wasn't worth the money, and I won't be returning.

    Grabbed lunch from here recently and enjoyed myself!…read more The staff were polite and helpful throughout the meal. My wife and I ended up splitting the kimchi pancake as an appetizer, and we both got the beef bibimbap for our entrees. We didn't end up getting any interesting beverages this time, but there were a few draft and bottled beers available as well as soju, sake, and other variations of alcohol :) Anyway, our kimchi pancake arrived pretty quickly, and it was very tasty! I liked how the green onion was integrated throughout, and the dipping sauce was very flavorful. It looked like it may be a bit spicy but in fact was sweet-ish :) Our bibimbaps arrived soon after, served in hot stone bowls. In addition, they provided six different small side dishes, all of which were very tasty! I really enjoyed the variety, as they ranged from pasta salad to kimchi. Honestly, the bibimbap was maybe my least favorite part of the meal, which surprised me. It wasn't bad at all, with plenty of tasty veggies included, but it didn't blow me away. Maybe I should have added more of the bottled sauce they provided :) Overall, we both really enjoyed our lunch at Okja and would definitely come back!

    I associate Korean cuisine with pure comfort, and Okja certainly delivered that! The banchan (side…read moredishes) were plentiful and tasty. We also got the: - Seafood Pancake (crispy flour pancake with squid, shrimp, crab meat & scallions): Definitely my favorite dish- perfectly crispy and simultaneously fluffy, lots of well-cooked seafood. - Tang Soo Yook (battered deep fried pork, drizzled in sweet & sour sauce): I've never had this dish before, but I will admit I imagined it a bit different. It was more batter forward so the pork did get lost, but the batter itself was super chewy and almost tapioca-like, which was interesting. I liked the sauce, but I wish it came separately for dipping as the pork did lose its crunch. - Bi-Naeng (cold buckwheat noodles with pickled daikon, cucumber, pear, hard boiled egg, beef & spicy sauce): So refreshing! Loved the chew of the noodles and how complementary the spicy sauce was with the sweet pickled toppings. The beef was on the tough side with not a ton of flavor though. Ambiance is really nice and spacious, there are two sides: one with the bar and booths, another with wooden benches. Service was surprisingly fast. Lots of parking. 8/10 would recommend!

    Bottom line: Bad Mama's Chicken is a virtual delivery chicken business only available through food…read moredelivery order apps. The chicken tenders were large, with generous breading and fried well...but could not taste the seasoning like I was hoping. The sides were OK as well but not overwhelming. For so much 4 star potential, I'd have to go with 3 stars this time and A-OK rating. The Deets: In looking around on my food delivery apps, I noticed an entry for Bad Mama's Chicken to order from and thinking...hmmm, not seen that around. Well, there's a good reason, in that they are only virtual delivery chicken business that are currently on such apps as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GrubHub as a virtual extension of Bad Daddy's Burger Bar but their own entity. The main part of their menu is tenders and wings, with a pretty good variety of sides to order along with the delivery chicken options. I decided to go with some tenders and then to sample their side offerings I went with the tots, the mac & cheese, and the house made chips. Delivery was fast and the items were still warm, nice. I'll start with the main offering, Mama's Tenders. First of all when I opened the container, I did not realize the tenders came with fries as the app did not indicate that...wow, what a carb fest for me indeed now. The tenders themselves were large pieces, well breaded and fried. I love the portion for the tenders. They looked wonderful. As I started enjoying them, they were good but I felt like the seasoning on the breading just was not coming through. I by no means want them spicy or overwhelming (I am not a fan of spicy, at all) but I would have loved to gotten some solid flavor from the seasoning. Good, definitely, but not great. As a side note, I ordered ranch as one of my dipping sauces...I did not receive any ranch, and that was disappointing. The fries...well...they were just saturated with grease/oil, not crunchy a bit just soggy with grease. They did not impress me. I went next to sample the Mama's Tots and yes, they were good (but I love tots...tots, how I love thee...). The Mama's house made Chips were a tad bit overdone for my taste...again, good but just past the point I'd like the chips. Give me light golden chips but not going on their way to brown. And last, I had to get spoonful (or three) of Mama's Mac & Cheese. It was good and loved the consistency of the cheese on the macaroni but the cheese taste was a bit short...however, UPDATE...upon warming it up and giving it another go, I find the cheesy taste actually better than the first bite or two, I'll take it. If the flavors would just come through for me, on the tenders especially, I'd say Mama's would be around a 4 star place for delivery chicken...but in this case, I can't go there for 4 stars. I hope so in the future.

    The food and service was good until a customer with a dog that was shedding really bad walked to…read morethe bathroom and left dog hair flying all over the place. I asked for the manager who rudely said there wasnt anything he could do.

The floor was covered. The waitress was professional and offered her apology.
