The door entrance is very welcoming with flowers and outside shaded seating. Orders are taken at one end of the counter (near entry door) and picked up at the other end of counter. Bathrooms are kept locked, and are entered from the outside (but it was clean). They have a drive-through which keeps them very busy. It took about 12 minutes for my single sandwich order to be ready but the staff was friendly and apologetic for the delay while they were hustling to fill orders, so I can't complain. It was obvious they were busy and working hard. My sub was made to order and tasted good.

It took us a while to our sandwiches (4 cheese melt and steak melt) but the staff were very patient and answered all our questions. We decided to eat outside and our food was delivered with a smile. Bread was thick and nicely browned, like Texas toast. 4 cheeses included pepper Jack which was a surprise, and may have been mentioned. That cheese was also in the steak, and that was fine. Steak was strictly ok, not a lot of meat taste but nice consistency. Added mushrooms were plentiful and tasty. Both sandwiches were large enough to fill hungry travelers. Overall I'm glad we stopped and tried Sun-sational. If we once again find ourselves in Whiteville I would stop and try something else, because all the sandwiches looked creative and a good value. Recommended!

To give you an idea, my husband and I ate there this evening and here's what we had (all excellent). Appetizers: tuna tartare with capers, wasabi, sesame seeds, lettuce, and crisps. It was well balanced and delicious. The other appetizer was Cambodian Spring Rolls, which were perfectly browned, and eaten by placing them in a romaine lettuce leaf with crumbled peanuts and dipping it in an amazing but light sauce. The textures and flavors played off of each other wonderfully, elevating it far above any regular spring roll you may be thinking of. For entrees, my husband had the special, Paella (saffron rice, mussels, shrimp, clams, and a whole crab, red bell pepper). Every item was perfectly cooked, neither undercooked nor overcooked and it tasted fantastic. My entree was perfectly cooked pan-seared salmon filet, with perfectly grilled large asparagus and the most amazing take on grits I have ever had (not your mama's breakfast grits). They were delicately flavored with butter, a hint of cheese and I don't know what else but it understated while still having flavors that seemed too complex for grits to have, without being overdone. There are menu items for both the more and less adventurous diner, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. A gem in the middle of nowhere.

Well yes, yes you can. This isn't dollar menu cheap but it's perfectly reasonable for what you get. I like the ambiance too, they have elevated ceilings and the dining area is spacious, and it's clean Remember when KFC was good? Well Smithfield's has captured that with their tenders, the meat is tender and juicy, the breading is good and well seasoned it really is what I remember KFC being, delicious. Bbq pork was good, nice and meaty, needs some sauce though, not sure if you're supposed to ask for it separately or what but it was good, just needs sauce, the hush puppies were on point as well, Cole slaw and potato salad all very good I'd be more than willing to come back and try more of the menu
