The only thing they don't have on the buffet is beef brisket, which is what we love, but all the food that we got the shredded pork, ribs, barbecue chicken, vegetables, bread...everything was really good. It's an odd place to have a barbecue restaurant, but it was definitely enjoyable. The service was excellent and they were very good about keeping the place clean.

There are indoor & outdoor seating options but we wanted to sit inside since it was humid. When dining outdoors you can view the planes taking off at the johnson regional airport. We both got the buffet. On the weekends, the buffet is more. We paid $25. You can add two pieces of brisket for an additional $13. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the buffet. Many of the food items including the greens were not seasoned. The mashed potatoes, steak, and fried chicken were ok. And the hush puppies and cornbread weren't bad. The corn, banana pudding, baked beans, and Mac & cheese weren't good.

Some of the best places to eat are attached to gas stations, so you know that this place is legit. They're chopped pork is tender and their Carolina sauce is seasoned just right. The cornbread is amazing, and you can even buy cornbread mix to make your own at home. I always grab a 5 lb bag when I go. They also have sausages and brisket and a variety of other cooked meats. I can never quite decide. It's all good. Finish it off with the Dole whip. That stuff is amazing.

I got a two meat plate ($30) with smoked turkey breast, pork rib, Mac and cheese, and BBQ rice. Both of the meats were solid! I'm not a huge fan of red meat and I know turkey is always a gamble on the dryness, but it was nice and juicy! The ribs were good too. Mac was solid. The BBQ rice was pretty disappointing - super mushy texture, I didn't end up eating it. Super nice staff and clean space!

Was given two choices (bottles) of bbq sauce which enhanced the flavor. The plate was served with hush puppies and a pickle salad, both yummy. For my sides I got the Mac & Cheese and collard greens. While the Mac was delicious, the greens needed a little more flavor/soul. The staff, especially the bartenders were very friendly. Very nice atmosphere, I chose to sit at the outside bar since it was a nice day. Thumbs up for the drinks. Would definitely return. I could definitely imagine this place being a vibe on a busy night

(She makes a good L.I.T) She had backup come in as we were gearing up to leave. It started to rain and she walked my mom to the car with an umbrella that is above and beyond service! It's one thing to do your job but that kind gesture made my entire experience that much more special. So to my servers, thank you once again!! Now, let get to the food and ambience, what were all her for. Appetizers: BBQ Cheese fries and Smoked wings ! They brought hush puppies and biscuits with their house made honey butter to the table. We ordered a couple of the Combination Plates, the BBQ Chicken Plate and the Pick two protein plates. Everything was good, and everyone left stuffed and had plenty of leftovers! The dining areas were decorated in wood and cast iron with a BBQ and Pork references throughout.

We started with the pimento cheese balls, which were super cheesy and delicious. They also brought out biscuits and hush puppies, and those were perfect to start the meal. For the kids, we ordered a hot dog with fries, mac and cheese with fries, and a cheeseburger with fries. All of the kids loved their meals. The fries were really good (even I enjoyed them!), and the mac and cheese was definitely the favorite. The adults ordered a double combo with pulled pork and brisket, and it was big enough to easily split between two people. My husband and I both got the Pit bacon cheeseburger, and it was so good and huge. I ended up taking half home for later. My husband also got mac and cheese and shared it with the kids, while I ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were amazing. The staff was really friendly, and everything came out nicely. Overall, it was a great meal and a great experience, especially for our family !

The pork BBQ is solid but it is not great. The pork for all the Smithfield locations are cooked overnight on site. The meat is not cooked over wood, but rather in large ovens, so there is no smokiness to it.

It was dead inside but gradually filled up during my half hour there. The place had a very down home feel, if you know what I mean. My order didn't take particularly long, but the take-out scene seemed more popular than the sit-down. Almost like nobody wanted to wait. I get that. The string beans and cabbage were as routine as possible. Seemingly no different than what you'd find at Cracker Barrel or a Bob Evans. But the hush puppies were some of the best I've ever had. Soft and flavorful on the inside; firm, with a mild crunch on the out. They didn't have the sandwich I wanted so I asked for a bun to make my own. And I did. I went in expecting to mix hearts with gizzards but instead they offered livers. I made due. I won't do that again. The iron flavor is too much. Next time, I'll stick with gizzards. They were good. Especially with lots of hot sauce. Best, A.

Instead, you get a generous amount of sides, including a poorly paired Southwest corn that tasted old and honestly should not have been served. One other concern: I was dining with someone who is gluten-free, and the waitress insisted that their French fries are not battered. However, they looked suspiciously like they had some type of coating on them, so we decided not to take the chance. Service was pretty good. The ambience is casual, but the place is in need of a major renovation, especially if they're trying to attract a more upscale clientele. To top it off, a credit-card surcharge was added to our bill, which was disappointing and felt unnecessary. Overall, the food had potential, but the price, presentation, and some of the details left something to be desired.
