First off, this spot is cozy and rustic, from the antique wooden bar to the brick walls and Turkish lights and carpets. We were immediately greeted and while our host started to escort us to a table, we asked if we could sit at the bar. Of course, was her reply. We took our seats and Melissa came out to give us menus and take our drink order. We went in thinking of sharing a small pizza so I was looking for a glass of red wine to accompany it. I asked Melissa for a glass of Cabernet, but they didn't have any. She told me what they did have and I asked for a small taste of the blend which she happily provided. It was good, so I decided to have a glass. We asked for her recommendations as it is always fun to get the staff's opinion on menu items and she replied that everything is good, but she especially likes the Australian Chicken. We asked about the pizzas and she recommended the George's special and told us we would love it. Sold (although I would really like to go back and try the chicken). The pizza was delivered hot, fresh and flavorful. Toppings included pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. The ratio of sauce on the pizza was just perfect and so tasty. Toppings still had that slight crisp that I love. The crust looked a bit thicker, but was not. It was crunchy outside, but had a wonderful softness to the inside that I loved and a great flavor. Usually, I discard crusts, but I munched on these. We were offered Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Those red pepper flakes packed some heat! We had the best experience thanks to Melissa and the delicious food! I hope that we have an opportunity to come back in the short week we are here.

Jessa, our server was amazing, a great waitress as well as funny and kind. She constantly checked to be sure we were ok, our glasses were always full. The food was delicious, fresh, served hot and clearly made with care. I had the Olympia pasta with chicken, it was delish, my husband's steak sandwich was very tasty as well, just a lot of food. Lastly prices are very reasonable. To add chicken to my pasta was $3.00, and it was a ton of moist tender chicken. We will absolutely return to this gem. Thanks Jessa for making it a great experience.

First time eating here and it was quite good!…read more The menu is overwhelmingly large, many options! I got a plain burger with lettuce, tomato and mayo, burger was cooked really well and tasted fresh. The corn pudding was very good.

Smithfield's is about as Eastern North Carolina as they come. I stopped in on my way home from a…read moretrip up north and couldn't wait to get some authentic Eastern North Carolina-style barbecue. The restaurants are very consistent in their Carolina-style design--homey, comfortable, and straightforward. The wall art adds character and reinforces the local feel without being overdone. The staff was very friendly and attentive, making sure every need was met. I ordered the large BBQ plate with slaw and baked beans. A generous portion of hushpuppies was sprinkled on top. The pulled pork is seasoned in classic Eastern North Carolina barbecue fashion--thin, tangy, vinegar-forward, and lightly seasoned. That same vinegar-based sauce is on the tables, along with Texas Pete. The portion size on the large platter was substantial enough that I asked for a to-go box and took leftovers home. Since they offer banana pudding--a North Carolina favorite of mine--I ordered one and enjoyed it there. The 'Nilla wafers are mixed directly into the pudding, exactly where they belong. Their banana pudding, like their hushpuppies, is excellent. Another great Eastern North Carolina barbecue experience.
