    Though we live over 1,200 miles away, we found ourselves back in Brunswick County twice this July (2025)--once for the 4th of July celebrations and again for business. On both trips, Smithfield's was a must-stop, and it did not disappoint. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, but what truly sets this place apart is the outstanding customer service. The team here goes above and beyond, offering attention to detail and genuine hospitality that rivals (and often surpasses) what I've experienced in many high-end dining establishments. It's clear that Smithfield's is exceptionally well-managed. Whether you're stopping in straight from the local beach in flip-flops or coming from church dressed for Sunday best, it's the perfect spot for a casual, family-friendly dining experience. Great job, Smithfield's team--you've created something special, and it keeps us coming back every time we're in town!

    Nice to meet you Smithfield family

    Local only to North Carolina, so we couldn't ignore it and pass it by. That'd be rude, hm. I'm kinda gutted that we didn't try that Brunswick Stew, or anything bbq here... but the fried chicken though! granules of crispiness coating them and absolutely moist chicken thighs. These bites of savoury pieces that would literally gladden one's belly. The shrimps were alright, smallish and lightly breaded and choice side of hush puppies. They were everywhere here. I've never met one before. And oh yes, the sweet Iced tea!! You know they make it so good here, just addictive. See you next summer?

    dark meat chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, hushpuppies.

    Love their chicken and especially this location. This is a must visit whenever we come to Hoden beach. Things have gotten much better here. Food was served fresh and hot. They have a staff member in the dining area attending to our needs! Wow... great food and service! ... with an open, casual dining area.

    I always enjoy Smithfield's. Today's visit was no different. We stopped in after we arrived in OIB for a long weekend. The employees were friendly today. The cashier was nice and another employee was tiding up the dining area. Our orders were correct and the food was hot and fresh. My barbecue sandwich was really good. I got a side of Brunswick stew to go with it. The stew was also good. The thin cut french fries are always a hit. The dining area was clean. The restroom was clean. They have a sanitation grade of 98.0 posted! The feature at Smithfield's that I especially like is the hand washing sink located in the dining room. I wish more restaurants had this feature.

    Deb with her Unsweetened tea, with a splash of sweet tea. And Julio keeps it filled. Just right! Thanks

    We love the food and service, price is good. Julio always takes great care of us. Love the Red Sauce.

    Outstanding customer service. Extremely friendly. Even asking twice if we needed a refill. My husband ordered the dark meat chicken and bbq plate. I ordered the shrimp plate with two sides. The slaw was extremely wet and had too much pickle. Loved the shoe string fries - just had to add salt. The shrimp were extremely hot (fresh) and a touch salty but I appreciated thst they were seasoned. I ate the chicken leg. It had great flavor. The hush puppies are a nice touch. My husband enjoyed his chicken thigh and bbq. They were both juicy.

    ALWAYS a winner for BBQ and I'm very surprised I still feel that way as I typically don't favor or lean towards chain restaurants but Smithfield's is consistent from store to store and they have Eastern Carolina vinegar sauce down to perfection. I really want to try the chicken but I can never pull myself away from the BBQ. I recently decided I like Brunswick Stew so I've been trying it where ever I can and so far Smithfield's Brunswick stew is the best I tried and it's going to hard to beat.

    Been coming here for years and they are the best! Doesn't matter what time of day, the service and food is always excellent!

    Delicious Hushpuppies- hot, crispy with a touch of sweetness

    Fries were barely cooked. I asked for crispy fries, chicken breast was rather small for the price of the meal. SAD VERY SAD.

    My wife and I went to the Crooked Oak tonight for dinner. It is our anniversary and we have made…read moregoing there on our anniversary a tradition, the past few years. This evening was a very good experience, mostly. Let's get the less than positive out of the way. We made reservations for 5PM. We were out and about and got there about a half an hour early. Walk in, spoke with the hostess and explained we knew we were early. (By the way, there were very few people in the restaurant at the time). The Hostess, an older female with longish greying hair, huffed then showed us to a table. She at least took us to an outside table as we requested. She never identified herself. And honestly we felt as if we were bothering her. Ok, enough of that. Now the positive. Our server was Taylor. This young man was awesome. He was upbeat and personable. Very pleasant and wanted to communicate, not just serve us. My wife and I asked for water, and ordered an appetizer of their Mac and Cheese balls. They were awesome. Hot, fresh, stuffed with pasta and warm flavorful cheese. Next we ordered cocktails. My wife ordered a Painkiller. Me an Old Fashion. Taylor recommended I try their version, New Fashion. Made with their mix of a house Bourbon. Man it was good. And the Painkiller? Let's just saw I held my wife hand, and guided her to our vehicle. For our main courses, my wife had the chicken and sausage pasta. I had the Bison Ribeye. Both we would order again without hesitation. The pasta dish was huge. With two breasts and numerous pieces of sausage. Over Fettuccini style pasta, with a lite and flavorful red sauce. It tasted fresh, and rich. She could only eat about a third of it. The rest came home. I ordered my Bison medium rare. The Chef hit it perfectly. Beautiful red meat in the center, nice and warm. So much flavor, and tender. With it I had the potato of the day. They were mashed with the skin. Full of butter, milk, and seasoned. In addition I had a side of creamed spinach. Very rich and deep. The cream tasted similar to a cheese sauce. So good. I brought nothing home. Finished the entire meal there. In addition, because it was our anniversary, the gave us a very nice card. And a piece of cake for dessert. Champaign was offered, but neither of us drink it, and didn't want to waste it. If you haven't tried Crooked Oak Tavern, you are missing a very nice experience.

    I happened to be in Conway for a week, on my own. One evening I went to Crooked Oak & fortunately…read moreheard about the "secret room" in the back. The host very kindly escorted me there & what a great surprise! The Tap Room host, Joanne, saw me looking a bit lost & greeted me. I didn't want to take a whole table as I was just there for a cocktail. Joanne suggested one of the leather lounge chairs & got me settled. She made me feel very comfortable. I'm old school enough that as a woman I felt awkward being in an unfamiliar town in a bar full of strangers. Joanne reassured me & checked on me throughout the evening. I had a fabulous Old Fashion, enjoyed the multiple TV's & ended up conversing & laughing with a whole family who were also visiting. All around, a great experience that all started with Joanne taking me under her wing & making me feel comfortable. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Conway!
