I first tried Smithfield's Chicken N' BBQ in the early 80's at their second location just off of…read moreHighway 70 in Clayton. The original Smithfield's was opened in Smithfield in 1977, with the Clayton operation beginning in 1979. Since then the restaurant has greatly expanded across the state, now totaling 41, with the 2 furtherest west being in Greensboro and Charlotte. Over the years, I've eaten at perhaps half of the Smithfield locations, and have rarely been disappointed, and in the few where I was, it centered on the service, not the food. As with so much in the restaurant area, things have changed and will surely continue to change with pork barbecue in North Carolina, reflecting changing tastes and changing processes. For example, fewer and fewer cooked over hardwood coals, and very few cook the whole hog - in fact, I think there are only 4 (all in the east) that still do - Skylight Inn, B's, Grady's, and The Pit. Smithfield very much mirrors the changing nature of NC BBQ over the last 30 years or so. The pork bbq for ALL locations is cooked in Smithfield and then shipped to the various locations. Obviously, what you get is less than just off the rack fresh. Still, if I'm close, then a pop in for a combo of bbq and chicken works. I like their slaw. the hush puppies are fair at best, the hot dog totally sucks, and the Chicken Tender Sandwich is really, really good! Don't consider this a destination bbq spot, but I will still go from time to time if driving by. There is some bad bbq sold in NC, but it is most often found at a grocery store or a convenience store - if it has gas pumps keep moving!

Now, it wouldn't have been terrible except the person who answers the phone tells me that he needed all 8 wings back to send the new wings out. I asked how I was supposed to know they were spicy but that I still had 7 left. I just replied "Y'all sure are not Dominos" and told him that it wasn't even worth it!!!! TERRIBLE customer service. He could have simply refunded the wings or sent out new ones without the hassle. I even gave a generous tip....but NO MORE Pizza Hut from Siler City!!!!! AND....look at the size of these $7.59 wings...SMH.

Unbelievable. In Siler City I find a tiny Chinese joint that REALLY cares about their food…read more HOMEMADE dumplings made from fresh ingredients. SO GOOD! I ordered the hunan beef lunch special with egg roll and pork fried rice. I asked for steamed dumplings as well and was REALLY happy that I did. The dumplings are fresh made and loaded with savory meat, green onions and a nice sauce. They are bigger than I'm used to and I would call that a meal for one in and of itself. The egg roll was perfectly fried with a thin crispy skin. Great flavor came through with no nasty refrigeration taste. I did not need duck sauce. This is what I imagine an egg roll to be until I'm disappointed. Again- it was fantastic. The hunan beef had a tremendous portion. It was not loaded with sugar like it normally is. You can taste the ingredients. I found it very mild with no spice. I will ask for it to be made spicy the next time. Large chunks of vegetable that were left crunchy and a great portion of pork fried rice to accompany it. Wonderful. I highly recommend this place. It was fantastic.
