WOW This is the most…read moreNorth Carolina restaurant I've ever been to. Old fashioned burgers, crinkle fries, chewy ice, gospel music, they even sell Richardson 112 hats. The food was dynamite. If you're looking for THE combo, get the double cheeseburger, fries with the malt vinegar/jalapeno ranch, Diet Dr. Pepper, top that bad boy off with a float and you'll wonder where this place has been all your life. I have been dazzled and dazzled.

Finally ate here today. As I entered there was only a couple other patrons. No waiting! The…read moregentleman behind the counter walked me through the process and explained everything to me. You can choose a bowl, a wrap, or a pita. They do offer sandwiches and other items as well. I decided on a bowl. I chose yellow rice instead of quinoa. I was able to have a few small samples to help make a decision. I also had lamb, chicken, garbanzo beans, spinach, three different hummus (feta, traditional, roasted eggplant), lettuce, tomato, feta, cucumbers, naan, and tzatziki over the top. I also decided to have a lemonade. They have several different lemonades to choose from and it's bottomless if you're dining in. I added so many items to the bowl the price was fairly high, but worth it. There's plenty of seating inside and it's a nice dining room. Very simple, but comfortable. I sat and enjoyed my bowl with pomegranate lemonade. Everything was delicious. I'm happy that I finally tried The Hummus Republic. I will definitely eat here again. Recommend giving it a try.

I considered ordering online but dropped by in person only to find a single kiosk for ordering with…read morethe same options and without some of the special deals advertised on the website, so there really isn't any reason not to order online. I got a pretty full bowl. I noted that the kale they had out had a number of dubious leaves in it, but the person picked around them to get me some nice green kale (if I were them I'd just dump the wilted ones). Vegetarian options were ample at all levels of the ordering process and indeed the only non-vegan component i ended up with was some feta. It was a salty and tasty bowl; oddly the salad greens were the only thing I got less of than expected. I also said what the heck and got what they call a signature tahini shake, which was absurdly filling to the point that I pretty much skipped a meal. Okay if that's what you want. Overall, not perfect but a quality place with options for most diets.

Brand new chicken place to Jacksonville. Although we have a lot of other chicken places this one…read morethe service is good. The teenagers were friendly and courteous. Looking around place is clean and tidy. They clear the tables for you. Drink station. Let me tell you about their made in house drinks. Sweet tea, in my opinion, needs more sweet. The lemonade wasn't terrible. The staff also brings your food to the table which I like. The in-house made sauces are dipp-o-lishious. I'm a big dipper person so I like options. Prices are pretty reasonable. And they have a rewards program to earn free food.

This place has GREAT service! The employees are so pleasant and the owner went around asking…read moreeveryone how their food is. Very personable and intimate. I love how they decorated this place and they also offer military discount. The food is just ok, I wasn't a fan of their club chicken sandwich, it had a very strong sauce. The buffalo Mac & Cheese is good if you really love cheese as well but their fried mushroom is BOMB!! Similar to the outback fried mushrooms but bigger and better. One of my favorite things about this place is their meal cup, it's a plastic cup that's similar to souvenir cup! All around, nice place with great service. I'd give it a try and decide if the food fits your tastebuds!

She explained the available meal options and even brought out a sample platter for us to make an informed decision on our individual meal choices. She described all the sauces available with recommendations on mixing sauces as an alternative option. She was super sweet to bring us desserts to end our delicious meal. All the workers there were really nice and helpful! Parking: Easy and plenty. Space: The restaurant was decorated with all things in support and honoring those of service (firefighters, veteran, military, etc.). Open seating after placing your order. Average noise just really depending on how full the restaurant is. Clean and tidy, including the bathroom. Overall, good food and good vibes! Go give them a try if in the area

First time trying Mission BBQ since reading they are top 5 chaon for brisket. I'll have to say…read morethey definitely know what they're doing. Brisket was delicious, ribs were really good. BBQ beans and creamy corn sides were both good. Cornbread was some of the lightest fluffy I've ever had. They have a total of 8 sauces so you can find your favorite. Have to ask for white sauce. Service was fantastic for a seat yourself place. "Myra" circled the seating area offering samples, explained sauces, checked if you needed anything. Place was clean and well kept

They also sell a burger and hotdog which are good. The Mac and cheese is great. It's also one of two chow halls open thirty minutes later than the main chow halls.

I have been travelling to Jacksonville NC for a while and see Smithfield's (what seems like)…read moreeverywhere. I go past and think....BBQ sounds good. When I went it was after work and I was on the hungry side. I park the rental and go inside. First thing I notice was how clean the place was. Spotless. A dude was cleaning the tables, another person was cleaning the windows. Spotless. The menu is straight forward. You can smell the chicken and pork cooking. I decide on the Bar B-Q sandwich. I get a side of baked beans. She takes the order and I grab a seat. It's not long and my order is ready. I took it for takeout and went back to the hotel. The sandwich didn't taste right. I am good with the coleslaw on the sandwich but the meat had an off taste to it. The baked beans could have been better...they had a funk to them that couldn't be ignored. So, the advice from my coworkers was right. My next visit to Jacksonville will include a different BBQ restaurant.
