    Bob Evans normally wouldn't be a choice of mine to dine as I like local restaurants but I could walk from the hotel. My waiter was friendly and attentive. I started with a citrus drink that was really good and refreshing. I went with the Alaskan Cod for the entree and it was huge. I chose fries and a fruit cup for the sides. The fruit cup wasn't really a fruit cup but had a lot of grapes; melon slices and a strawberry so much more than I was expecting. The banana bread seemed to be the bread to order from seeing what other tables were getting. I didn't care for the dessert I ordered but that isn't the restaurant's fault. Bob Evans has a large menu and good food if you are looking for somewhere to dine in Smithfield.

    We are longtime Bob Evan's fans since our introduction to them 30 years ago. We've also watched them struggle to stay relevant and popular especially lately. Some places, frankly, are hit or miss. This location today was more hits than misses. Promptly greeted and whisked to a clean booth, our server Emma (?) knew the menu inside and out--never missed a beat. I like that. Food was very good and surprisingly affordable. The banana bread as one of the complimentary choices, was a welcome treat for my turkey dinner. Mmmm. Need a place along the way to refresh, relax, and refill? I say "give 'em a whirl" at this location. Easy on/off the expressway.

    We hadn't been to a Bob Evans in years and weren't planning to go to one. However, while trying to find the Cracker Barrel that was supposed to be at this exit, then not finding it, we came across Bob Evans. Well, then that's where we'll have dinner, we said. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated. Our server was friendly and efficient, the place was clean (except for that musty smell we noticed). I got "chicken fried steak" and chose green beans plus mashed potatoes and gravy for my side. My husband chose the turkey dinner which had sliced turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing and cranberry sauce. We both thought our dinners were good but nothing to write home about. To be fair, that was just what we expected.

    PEOPLE, PEOPLE, did I say PEOPLE! I can not rave enough about this location regarding this visit. Now, mind you I have been to this location several times prior to COVID and after. Each time before I swore I would NEVER return. However, this time they changed my heart and mind. We were visiting with friends and they wanted to stop in. I kept asking, noooo let us go somewhere else - thinking about all the previous times I had been to this location and the service was horrible and the food the same. However, not one to spoil the mood I went along and I am glad I did. I am not sure if they just had better staff or management, but it was a complete 180 from other visits. The food was fresh and tasty! When they made a mistake, they were quick to ensure it was fixed and with a smile. During my visit, they were taking precautions for COVID. We were not seated very close to others and it looked as if they were wiping down everything as well. We ordered a few items on this trip: THE ORIGINAL FARMER'S CHOICE - 10/10 780 - 1820 cal. Our signature breakfast includes your choice of premium breakfast meat, two fresh-cracked eggs cooked-to-order, and hash browns or home fries. Served with three hotcakes or two slices of Brioche French toast BANANA BERRY FARMER - 10/10 1210 - 1690 cal. Choice of premium breakfast meat with two fresh-cracked eggs* cooked-to-order and your choice of hash browns, home fries or fresh-cut fruit. Served with three blueberry hotcakes topped with fresh bananas SIRLOIN STEAK* & FARM-FRESH EGGS* - 8/10 1350 - 1390 cal. Marinated Choice sirloin* cooked-to-order and served with two fresh-cracked eggs* cooked-to-order with your choice of hash browns or home fries and freshly-baked biscuits HONEY BUTTER CHICKEN AND BISCUIT - 8/10 1000 - 1620 cal. Two hand-breaded fried chicken breasts with real clover honey, butter, one split biscuit, and your choice of two sides CINNA-BISCUITS - 10/10 710 cal. Eight pieces of made-to-order fried biscuit dough dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with warm cream cheese icing Pro-Tip: go before 2pm if you want grits! They do not serve them after 2pm. The tea isn't really sweet, so you might need to add sugar. Always check their app for specials. Add peppers and onions to your home-fries for added flavor!

    My hubby and I stopped by for a quick breakfast and my first plate of food had a piece of hair in it. I reordered and my second plate had a piece of hair. The manager compensated our food, but at this time I was nauseous.

    This Bob Evans is located near Interstate 95 at exit 95. We were looking for a lunch spot during our travels. We know this place is not available locally, so we decided to come here during our travel. Plus, it was around lunch time anyways, so it worked out. This place is a little crazy to get to when you don't know the area. There were two lanes going into the Outlet Center, where this place is located. On the way out of the outlet center, you'll need to go through a roundabout as well. Our visit here was on July 25, 2019. When we came in, it looked like it was closer to the end of a rush that they may have had. Either way, we were immediately greeted and then seated when we came in. Within a minute or so, our server was at the table asking for our drink orders. After getting the drinks, she asked if we were ready to order, but we needed a few moments as they do have a large menu. After a few minutes, she came back and we were finally ready to order. I ended up going with the Bacon Cheeseburger with fries. My mom went with the Pick Two Combo with Cheddar Baked Potato Soup and a Loaded Baked Potato. After about 10 minutes, our orders came to the table. The food was nice and hot. The burger was cooked just as I had ordered. The burger was juicy and tasted great; it definitely hit the spot for me. My mom said the pick two choices were nice and hot, as well as tasty too. Our server did come to check on us while we were eating. Once we were done, I asked about getting drinks for us to go on the road and she got them for us. Overall, the food was good and the service was as well. If my travels take me this way again in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again. This place is worth checking out if you are hungry and in the area.

    Golden Corral is our favorite buffet restaurant, and this is the store where we eat the most often…read more We've never been disappointed. Waitstaff are friendly and attentive despite the fact that this restaurant is usually packed full of diners every time we've been here. The dining rooms are clean, pleasant and the tables are well-spaced, which is much appreciated because I use a wheelchair occasionally due to chronic pain. I've never had a problem maneuvering around the dining room or in the bathrooms (a big trouble point when I'm out thus burdened). The food is awesome and there's lots of it. The salad bar has almost every ingredient you can think of, including different fresh fruits and melons if you prefer your salads fruity instead of lettucey (is that a word? Guess it is now.) There's a wonderful station with enormous baked potatoes and all the fixings a tater-lover can deck them out in. Of course there's steak for us carnivores, with shrimp, fried whitefish and hushpuppies if you like some surf with your turf. Veggies? You can have corn, cabbage, french fries, beans, carrots, broccoli and brussel sprouts, just to name few. Prefer chili or soup? Yep, got those too. My personal favorite is their Awesome Pot Roast, it's tender, juicy, and accompanied by roasted celery and carrots. It's better than mom used to make for Sunday dinner, and that's saying something! Try it out, and add some of the wonderful mashed 'taters and gravy to go with it. AND......those wonderful, soft, always-hot and freshly-baked rolls! These are so luscious that it wouldn't be a waste just to come here for those! (Don't forget your honey butter) Dessert? Although I really miss the chocolate fountain, you can still get your chocolate fix with brownies or a Hot Fudge Sundae from their soft-serve ice cream station. But wait! There's more! Grab a piece of pie, marshmallow treats, a piece of cake or some wondrous bread pudding. If you're a Boomer or Gen Xer with fond memories of Tastee-Freeze, you won't want to leave without a cone. We eat regularly at Golden Corrals in Wake and Johnston County, and this is our favorite location. Highly recommend! P.S. Please, corporate, build us one in Goldsboro!

    A Classic Done Right at Zack's Char-grill. Sometimes the…read morebest meals are the simplest ones, and Zack's Chargrill in Smithfield proves this perfectly. My wife and I stopped in for what we thought would be a quick bite, but ended up with something much more satisfying. The menu isn't fancy - just good, honest burgers and fries - but the execution is spot-on. My wife ordered a double cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato, while I went full Carolina style with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. Both burgers were cooked exactly right, with that perfect char-grilled flavor you can only get from doing things the traditional way. What really struck me was how this meal brought back memories of old-school burger joints where quality ingredients and proper technique mattered more than gimmicks. The fries were crispy and hot, the perfect complement to these substantial burgers. If you find yourself in Smithfield and craving a burger that tastes like it should, you really can't go wrong with Zack's Char-grill. It's old-time goodness served fresh, and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Sorry about the photos. Phone screen went blank and couldn't see what I was aiming at. :-)

There was a UFC fight on so it was pretty busy and we luckily found 2 seats at the bar. We were greeted quickly with menus and offered to place a drink order. I ordered a Michelob Ultra, which they were out of on draft so I chose the bottle. I cannot remember what hubs ordered but the keg finished in the middle of his pour so he had to wait for a new, full beer. Bonus though, they gave him the half beer on the house! Hubs ordered a chicken sandwich and I ordered 6 traditional wings, Buffalo sauce style, and a side salad with bleu cheese dressing. My salad came out first and quickly. The wings came out shortly after but hubs waited for over 10 minutes more for his sandwich. I guess since it was close to closing time, the bartenders were busy cleaning and forgot about it. You could tell the food was sitting under the heat lamp for a long time because it was dry and overcooked. We ordered one more beer, paid our tab, and left. I had rewards to use so I was able to get my wings for free! I am not sure if we will be at the location in the future but if we are traveling and it's after most restaurants are closed, we will stop in again.
