We were in the mood for some fried chicken and BBQ. The fried chicken was perfect and the BBQ tasty, as were the french fries, cole slaw and brunswick stew. Their sweet iced tea is next to southern perfect, too. My wife, once a food service employee many years ago, commented to Christina, the manager, about the impeccable cleanliness of the bathroom. I can attest to the same in the men's bathroom as well. My wife remarked that a clean bathroom is usually indicative of a clean kitchen area as well. Smithfield Chicken & BBQ in Zebulon is well run with friendly personnel and a top-notch manager with Christina in charge.

The bar glows under lighting as unique as the stories told across it, while the keg urinals prove they don't take themselves too seriously. It's the kind of place where craft and character collide. The bar goes on longer than most stories told across it -- a gleaming stretch of wood lined with more chairs than you can count. Soft glowing lights keep things warm and easy on the eyes, while TVs hum with the game (or the drama). But the real stars here? The staff -- quick with a pour, quicker with a smile, and just the right amount of banter to make every seat the best one in the house, they serve an old fashioned so smooth, it feels like sipping timeless charm with a twist. Lo and Behold! A bottle of SKYY behind the bar? Guess heaven really is within reach. Step onto their small rooftop patio--two staircases up and suddenly you're in your own little hideaway. Don't let the height fool you: the amazing staff runs up and down like caffeinated superheroes, making sure your drink is as perfect as it would be at the bar. Cozy, breezy, and just far enough from the crowd to feel like your secret spot, but close enough to get the same top-notch service. At Norse Brewing Longhouse cheesy dreams come true: a pimento cheeseburger that winks at you, with beer cheese tots doing the perfect cheese dance on the side. Zebulon's favored restaurant. Cheers!

We were so excited to give this place a try, especially knowing how successful Norse is in Wake…read moreForest. Unfortunately, it was an out of disappointment. While the staff were very nice, there was only one person running around managing all the tables, and my salmon salad was terrible - I specifically asked how the jalapeños were cut, so I could take them out if they were too hot - and was reassured that they were cut in coins/slices and would be easy to remove. When the salad came, they were diced super tiny and super spicy - and really difficult to remove. Also, a good part of my salad was avocado, and it was so unripe that it was crunchy! When I mentioned these concerns to the staff, the lady apologized about the jalapeños and said her niece works in the kitchen and had told her that she's been throwing away the soft avocados because that means they're not good anymore. Who has kitchen staff (especially family members) that don't even know what a ripe avocado looks and feels like?!? She did acknowledge and apologize that my salad was nothing like I had expected (or they had advertised), but did not offer any sort of a discount - although we also did not ask. As the only place with actual food in that area, we had high hopes, but sadly we will definitely NOT be back. The only reason I did not leave one star is because my husband ordered the beet salad. It was tiny, but tasted good.

It was ok because I just wanted my food and the line was pretty quick being that I got there not long after they opened. I got to the window to pay and get my food. The cashier was friendly and asked me if I wanted water because that sandwich was "thick". She was being funny, which I appreciated because the order taker was the polar opposite. I declined the water, and went to park to eat my sandwich. I was sad to see that my sandwich was NOT fresh and was cold. The meat was like rubber. Why?? It was a little after 11 am, so it shouldn't have been old like that. I didn't feel like going inside. So, I just threw it away. Next time, I will pay more attention and check it before I pull off.
