Best hot dogs hands down I've had in awhile, they are cooked well with a good Smokey flavor. Fries were pretty good too.

When you walk…read moreinto the building, it is extremely small and sometimes we need to wait for a table if we come during a busy lunchtime so I always try to get there a little before 12 o'clock to make sure that we have our favorite Boothe on the left-hand side. We will only eat on the left-hand side as that is our favorite waiter most of the time he is there during the day and honestly just knows what we want what we're going to order what we drink and what sauces we want with our food. Sometimes the waiter is hoping in the kitchen so we have to have a different waitress And that's OK. As long as he is there I know we are gonna have a great experience. The food is always good and my son absolutely has to order the mozzarella cheese sticks every time we go for the epic cheese pulls!! The reason why I gave this location three stars is because of the appearance of the building itself, and it is very old very outdated and a lot of things are very sticky and dirty. The bathroom is outside and the location of pulling in and out of this parking lot is not ideal. Besides those minor things if you're not looking for pretty this is your place to go good quick fast, yummy food and service. There's no doubt you won't be back if you try them.

The grandson of the original owner sold the business in 2021, after of 80 years of ownership by the same family. Things have changes some, there is not the cozy feel of a family spot, none of the wait staffs that had been there for years remain, the replacement are mainly young and a bit distracted. The three main components that made the hot dog here great generally remain - great chili, soft buns, and Zack's made in house hot sauce. The dogs on this visit were very good, but I will get them to go in the future.

I am sure this place is nostalgic for a lot of people, and as a bit of a hot dog expert, I had to…read morefind out what everyone was talking about. I had occasion to be in Burlington at lunch one day recently, and decided I needed to stop in. Zack's definitely fits that "area establishment" vibe, and people were coming in and out quickly... now I see why. They get you moving fast! I share John C's thoughts: Within about 15 seconds, a gentleman asked what we wanted. We had barely gotten the menu out when he said, "We have hamburgers and hot dogs. Hot dogs come with chili, onions, and slaw." Unlike John C I opted for chili cheese fries, because I am a glutton for punishment, but otherwise, got the hot dogs the same way, but add cheese. Food was out in a flash, and like John, i kind of wish more care was put into it to up the quality. I don't need my stuff lightning fast. Anyhow, just to be honest, I didn't care for the overall flavor of anything in particular. The hot dog franks and bun were pretty average, no toasting or buttering, frank was barely warm. The chili was HEAVY on cumin and pretty much overpowered everything, including the cheese. Chili cheese fries were a bit better, you could kind of thin out the chili and bring more balance to the cheese sauce. I ate these with a fork. I think if I visited again, I would go the burger route and get these for my chili cheese fix. Overall, I am glad to try an area staple, but it just wasn't my thing. At a place like this, there is surely a regular fan base that likes it exactly how it is, and I would never want to change that. Do your thing for them, it just wasn't my thing!

I am giving it four stars because each time I have gone with friends there is mention of how the restaurant reminds them of segregation in the 60's. It does give a slight boycott vibe that doesn't sit well, and makes me question my support. Have to be honest.

My First Visit to Smithfield's -- And Probably My Last…read more I normally don't take the time to write reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt I had to share it. While traveling through Burlington, North Carolina, I saw the signs for Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q and decided to give it a try. Since I live in Georgia, where there aren't any Smithfield's locations near me, I thought it would be worth stopping. I ordered the large shrimp platter with coleslaw and potato salad. I assumed the small and large shrimp platters might refer to the size of the shrimp. Nope! The difference is simply the amount of shrimp you get. Lesson learned! I took my order to go, and when I got to my car, I found two cardboard platters in the bag. One had shrimp, fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw. The other had additional shrimp and three more hush puppies. What I didn't find were any napkins or plastic utensils. When you're traveling and taking food to go, those are pretty basic things to include. I also ordered potato salad, but I honestly forgot about it until I was already on the highway heading south to Georgia, so I can't say for certain whether it was missing or whether I simply overlooked it when checking my order. Now, let's talk about the shrimp. You know those tiny little shrimp you sometimes find in shrimp salad at a buffet? That's exactly what these reminded me of! There must have been around 50 of them, although I lost count, and some were ridiculously tiny. They had a little flavor, but they lacked that satisfying shrimp taste you expect when ordering a shrimp platter. The fries weren't something I particularly wanted, since they weren't what I had ordered. The hush puppies were okay, I guess, but they were shaped more like chicken fingers than the hush puppies I was expecting. Overall, this was not the introduction to Smithfield's that I had hoped for. Maybe I should have ordered the chicken instead! If you're specifically looking for shrimp, I honestly think you'd be better off trying Captain D's or even Long John Silver's. Unfortunately, my first visit to Smithfield's will probably be my last. I was looking forward to trying something new while traveling through North Carolina, but I left disappointed. Based on this experience, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
