My lunch. Ample food at a very reasonable price
Juanita H.

I live in the area and have passed this restaurant many, many times. On a whim, I stopped today for lunch. I am so glad I did. The food was excellent. The service was superior. Staff and other consumers were friendly. In addition to enjoying the food, I enjoyed the experience.

Fridays is fish day. Never had a bad piece of fish here yet.

Mediocre food that doesn't have much flavor and the place is a nasty old building with a menus on a white board?

Every time I order tenderloin, mashed potatoes with gravy, and green beans. Very tasty country cooking.

This is one of these Bar-b-q places that are known to locals and/or happily discovered by visitors…read more(like me). I was driving around town after visiting the University (which one, i can't recall) and wanted some local bar b que. I'm a yankee so NC barbeque is a bit different for me. I've tried the mustard-base and the vinegar-base and they do offer a vacation from the usual tomato-base/molasses based barbeque Stuff was fall off the bone and definitely worth the trip

A true southern gem. My husband and I have a motto "if they serve it on styrofoam plates, it's…read moregonna be good" and once again we were not disappointed. It's a small business and most people ordered to go. Very few tables and parking. We walked in as a party of 4 and they didn't have seating, but we were waved over by a local to share his table and gladly took him up on his offer. Come to find out he was a local columnist and seems to be known very well by the community. We had great conversation, over a great meal. The owner came out and chatted with us for a little. It's been family owned since 1930! Everyone we encountered was very friendly. Including the local sheriff who was the cashier. We were greeted by a friendly server and a basket of hush puppies and a bucket of honey butter. We ordered a little of everything. True NC pork BBQ, southern style fried chicken, fried shrimp, boiled butter potatoes, colla greens, mac and cheese and cole slaw. EVERYTHING was good. The only let down was the mac and cheese. We were hoping for a baked mac and cheese but it was more of a velveeta style rou mac and cheese. Still good, just not what was pictured or what we prefer. This is a super easy stop off int. 95, maybe a mile off the exit. We will most definitely be stopping in every year as we head south. I would suggest you do the same!

Took my wife and two of our kids here for lunch. I'm writing this review from the toilet - 6th trip…read moreto the bathroom since coming home. One of my sons has been affected the same way, we didn't eat the same thing. Server prioritized others ahead of us (waited about 10 mins to be asked for a drink order, meanwhile filling a drink order for 4 cops who came in 10 minutes after us). Prices looked great, portion size was large but the food itself was a big meh. I asked if they could cook their burgers to temp, got a resounding Yes they can....I asked for a medium burger and it came out well done. I was asked by two people how it was, which I answered "It was ok" - nobody wanted more details. IMHO they have an established base they cater hardest too and they don't extend that service to new customers. Makes the old timers feel great however we'll never be regulars. We won't be back. I get supporting those who support you, but that's hardly a long term sustainable model. Hope you're ready for when those folks dwindle off. They'll be lost in new customers acquisition and won't understand it. Enjoy it while you can. Atmosphere was great. Very disappointed it didn't meet expectations.

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. :-)

We used to frequent the Smithfield, NC Outback Steakhouse several years back and it was just OK…read more We hadn't tried it in a while so for Linda's birthday yesterday, I took her shopping and then dinner at Outback. What a pleasantly surprising change! It was a WOW! Every employee in the restaurant was friendly and engaging and our server, Serenity, was absolutely top shelf. All the chefs, AL, Dee, Jordan and Alexis B were all on their "A" game because our delicious food could not have been any better. The owner/partner Fred stopped by to say hello, which always a nice touch. He said he really concentrates on adding staff with the ability to do the job, but with personality. They're like the family you see in a "Mom N Pop" restaurant. We noticed they all pull together and help each other out, making the dining customer the priority. I love dining where food, comfort, and service all culminate into an over tge top experience, and that's what Linda and I got at Smithfield's Outback!

Now sink inside mens bathroom is out of order. Ac not working now. Booth seating tears in upholstery never fixed. Will not ever eat here again unless remodel done. If no money is used to keep the resturant up and running what shortcuts are being taken with the food. Out of all the locations in the USA we have ate at this location is the worst ever. Switch to eat at clayton location. Franchise should step in on this location and check metrics , same standard as burger king it is terrible beware
