    Sauces to go
    Gina A.

    Right off of highway 17 with lots of parking and a drive thru if needed. There's inside seating and outdoor. Super clean and well ran restaurant. You will. E greeted immediately by a super friendly cashier. They are very patient and helpful. There are food runners and they also make sure that your drink is never empty when you dine in! Constantly walking around making sure you that you have all you need. You can tell that these employees enjoy their job and that it's a pleasant work environment. Everyone is happy! Do not leave without the BBQ to go! Take one home. It is vinegar based and absolutely delicious. Tender and great flavor. We grabbed a pint to go. They have lots of their menu items to go. They all offer meals that feed large crowds. Lots of options of need catering. We did order a BBQ sandwich with no bun that came with coleslaw. Also had a BBQ platter that came with coleslaw, potato salad, and hush puppies. All so good. Put the slaw on top of the BBQ! This is a local restaurant as it's only in NC. It is well worth the trip to swing by and grab some good food served with a smile! Your tastebuds will thank you!!!

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

I decided to try it here. The appetizer had just a little bit of lettuce, so I ordered the small house salad. My friend ordered the 'regular' salad with the tuna. Her salad was huge and she wished she ordered the same small house salad. The tuna was super fresh and seared perfectly. We both ordered it very rare. The menus at both restaurants are different, with a few same items. This place has a long list of wings and a bigger menu. Nice service by our waiter.
