Well, it's absolutely absurd that I've driven past this place as many times as I probably have…read more But today I fixed that & I'm really happy. First the location: it's in a strip mall, which it shares with Kroger, a thrift store, and one of the last Roses stores around. The inside was very nice and had a real country atmosphere. Everything appeared well-kept and clean. As we entered we were quickly greeted and taken to our table. Within a few moments, we had our two sweet teas, and our order was taken. Let's say wow - our order was delivered to our table in maybe 7-8 minutes. I was in total shock. The meals. The wifey has the Monte Cristo French Toast meal. I could tell she liked it a lot. As I look at her taking her first full bite and her eyes are blasting open. She said it was absolutely outstanding. As for me, I had Biscuits & Gravy with potatoes and bacon. I will also tell you I was very happy with the taste and the portion. As for service: We had a young lady named Stephanie. I bet she checked on us 6-7 times during our stay and we were not her only table. She was just that attentive. Total for two of us - $33 which include includes a hefty state and local tax. 12.25% - Virginia and localities have gotten out of control. So I will give this place a solid 5-star review and hope that if you're passing through - and need a nice breakfast or lunch, go on in.

I especially appreciate that they accommodate my special request for their mouthwatering pulled pork without sauce whenever possible. The seasoning and flavors are always spot on. The chicken tenders are unlike any I've ever had--perfectly breaded with a texture and taste that really stand out. Pair them with the awesome sauce, and it's perfection. Every side dish is a hit, but the broccoli salad is my personal favorite. My kids can't get enough of the fries and mac and cheese! To top it all off, the ice cream and milkshakes are extra creamy--you can definitely tell they use high-quality ingredients. We've sampled just about everything on the menu, and every single dish has been outstanding. QDaddy's is a must-visit!

The wait staff were super nice and accommodating so that was nice. Ordered a 10pc chicken tenders with macaroni and cheese, a brisket sando with a side of baked beans and broccoli bacon salad. The tenders was ordered as a meal, but for some reason a drink is not included in the meal. The brisket sando was okay, a little dry so I had to hit it with the spicy sweet bbq sauce (which was just sweet, no spice at all). I ordered the brisket sando based on the dude in front of me who got the pulled pork sando, and when I watched the server put a huge scoop of pulled pork on the bread I just knew it was going to be the same for me...but it wasnt. I got 3 strips of brisket. The baked beans were good, almost a little too sweet. The broccoli bacon salad was a cold dish, and was tossed in a overly sweet white sauce. Think coleslaw but instead of shredded lettuce, broccoli. I wasn't a fan. The macaroni and cheese was more like a boxed product. However the chicken tenders were super good and I highly recommend those. All that for 48 bucks. I was pleasantly surprised the machine didn't ask for a tip, that was nice.

I was back in town for Easter weekend and stopped by Monday evening to catch up with a friend. We arrived around 5 PM, and the bar was already starting to fill up. The bartender was friendly and attentive, but as it got more crowded, it was clear she could've used some extra help. We started with the crab dip, which was fresh, hot, and really tasty. I hadn't been in a while, so I was surprised by how extensive the menu is now. I ended up ordering the smashed burger--it was flavorful, with quality beef on fresh bread, topped with bacon and onions. My only note is that I wish they had asked how I wanted it cooked--medium well would've been perfect. My friend ordered the Philly and said it was good as well. Both portions were generous, and by the time we left, the place was getting pretty busy, though it never felt too loud or overwhelming. Overall, it was a solid visit, and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in town.

Had high hopes but sadly the food fell short!…read more The highlights of the restaurant were the waterfront dining and the friendliness of the waitress and the trainee. My husband and I thought the appetizer sampler sounded good and would give us a good idea of their food. The crab cakes with the wonton was not good and the crab dip hardly had any crab in it. The ham biscuits were okay and really the only dish that was as good was the bang bang shrimp. Also even though our waitress was very friendly she hardly checked on us and we had to wait a long time to get our check. The only thing going for this place is the view.

Out of clam strips AGAIN. Have visited 3 times within last year. NEVER have clams strips available. We've been here ONLY because someone else chose this place the last two visits. Chilly day, when waitress was asked to turn on the fireplace, she said both of them were broken. Funny, neighbors were there on Friday night. They were working perfectly. I believe she just didn't want to be bothered with lighting them. Coleslaw was BAD, as in spoiled. Gross! When I told her, she did offer to replace, but by that time, we were almost done with meals. Hush puppies were so overdone, almost to point of being burnt. The fried shrimp were really good. The food here is always just "meh". Decor is non-existent, service leaves much to be desired. With so good seafood restaurants to choose from, don't waste your pick here.

In moderation of course ;) It is literally a cornucopia of thanksgiving desserts. The hubs and I are not in Smithfield often, as it's close to an hour drive from where we are. We found this place when visiting an annual fall vintage antique market where they had a booth. Yes..... I had to control my eyes and stomach. Eating with your eyes is a thing! My better half decided on the lemon blueberry loaf, and I on the hummingbird slice of cake. It's a banana pecan cake with cream cheese frosting. Soo the result was...... it was both slightly dry not as moist. The blueberries in the lemon loaf all sank to the bottom. As for the loaf it was mid soft to hard to swallow. The lemon frosting on top was very good. The hummingbird slice had a nice amount of pecans with the taste of banana, but I also experienced the cake to be dry, even with the recommendation of eating it at room temperature. It was refrigerated, so cold air tends to draw out moisture and dehydrate the cake. They have display cakes, so you do have to ask them for slices, which they will retrieve from the fridge. Overall, it was still good and we would be back to try their cookies and bars! I believe they have some savory focaccia!!!!

Then you can take it up the counter to be cashed out. There is no place to eat inside. Now food wise they have so many amazing items! From sweets like cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pastries and so much more to savory items like bread and spreads and even more. My husband and I grabbed a slice of the hummingbird cake and it was such a treat! Great flavor! Can't wait to try more of their items because I am side if it is like the cake they will be good!

Okay so. We moved to Smithfield in late 2022. Stopped in for dinner here after the movers left and…read moreour meal was just okay. Nothing memorable or anything, but not bad. BUT it wasn't good enough for us to go back. UNTIL tonight. We came out to Main Street for New Years dinner. The new local pub was full, the Wharf brewery was closed for a private event, and Taste of Smithfield was closed altogether for the holiday (fair enough). Smithfield Inn was the only other option so we figured we'd try it again. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and shown their special New Years menu. Menu looked fancy in terms of offerings but the prices were reasonable. I ordered the salmon and my hubby got the rockfish Wellington. Both were absolutely amazing! The meals came with soup, salad, and complementary champagne (New Years special). But the real star of the show were our main courses. Salmon was baked in parchment paper with two slices of lemon. I've never had such succulent salmon before! The favors of garlic and lemon were present without being overpowering. I would 1000% get this salmon again if it appeared on their regular menu. The rockfish Wellington was such a unique dish. The fish was buttery and flaky and the Wellington batter was light and crispy. The sides for both dishes was rice pilaf and roasted veggies. Couldn't get enough of the sides either, they were so flavorful! The head chef came out to speak with each the patrons as we finished with our main courses. He was so sweet and knowledgeable. He mentioned he had only been with the restaurant for two weeks and was working on revising their menus. The latest being for Sunday brunch, which he gave us a sneak peek of and looked so good! This was, hands down, a night and day different experience from 2022. We will definitely make Smithfield Inn a regular stop in our restaurant rotation on Main street. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend this place!
