Received a recommendation from the hotel to visit this local restaurant, and it definitely lived up…read moreto expectations. My husband is a wing connoisseur, and he ordered the 10-piece naked wings in buffalo sauce, and I decided to try the frogs leg. Both were excellent appetizers, and we ordered the Philly cheesesteak with sweet potato fries, and a shrimp quesadilla. Hubby loved his cheesesteak, and I can honestly say that the shrimp quesadilla was the best one I've ever had. We noticed lots of families eating and the waiter we had was terrific. We would definitely stop again if in the area. Only thing missing is Yuengling beer on tap - only got one in a bottle.

Not being from the area we basically flipped a coin while choosing a restaurant for dinner, there's…read morenothing like ordering and eating the daily special while listening to some head banging tunes from Nirvana and Metallica at a volume that drowns out the staff - but we got through it which is more than I can say for the meal. Our server Annie was outstanding, very friendly and attentive if I were just reviewing the service this would be a five star review the only thing she miss was she charged me a credit card fee even though I paid cash, unfortunately the kitchen staff isn't doing this restaurant any favors the frozen from a box preparations give even old greasy bar food a good name. We started with the fried chicken skin appetizer which are delicious if you've ever had them prepared fresh by a chef instead of previously frozen from a short order cook with little to no training, they were horrible if I had only one request it would be to remove these from the menu. After going back and forth we both decided to order the Thursday Night Special - a fried Katfish fillet, fried pop-corn shrimp, fries and plenty of grease with a side of pre-portioned coleslaw - I have no words for this mess I think the cook dumped everything straight from the fryer to the plate without letting the old grease drain back into the fryer. I may be a little harsh on the kitchen but they have issues and if any of them noticed we ate very little of anything plated here and passed on the slaw. Fortunately we were just passing through so we don't have to return here or blame it on "they were just having a bad day" I could of spent my dough on losing lottery tickets and would have been happier, the food here gets a do not recommend...

I've stopped at Smithfield's once before years ago and didn't particularly like the chopped…read moresandwich, apparently because of the use of white slaw. I have to admit being a native NC resident from Lexington, so I have a stubborn bias. I didn't try very hard ever to like Eastern NC BBQ and have discovered it is the fault solely of the white slaw! Sunday the 17th I stopped in Lumberton and bought a chopped sandwich with the slaw on the side, order number 110 at 12:21. The slaw on it's own merit was tasty. I don't have a weird bias against white slaw, but it belongs with seafood only! such as paired with a platter of fried shrimp and oysters, maybe flounder too! So I still had a nice hot sandwich of BBQ pork chopped with no slaw, (red slaw is acceptable and preferred as a matter of fact) riding down the highway on the way home. Let me tell you I was impressed, pleased, happy, and converted! I am now a believer in Eastern NC BBQ. Now, I still prefer Lexington, (or sometimes called Western NC style) but I can say as long as that white slaw is left off then I am good to go and up for a sandwich of Eastern style. It had the slightly vinegar taste I expected, some decent smoke flavor, and a nice bit of peppery taste. My only complaint is the price was pretty steep at almost $7 with tax for a BBQ sandwich. I guess they're still close to $6 in my area, so inflation is what we're living with. But now I'm converted. Thanks Smithfield.

I don't know how else to describe it, it felt like there was so much love in that dining room, it just felt good to be surrounded by it. I got the shrimp and catfish, my husband got the hamburger steak, and daughter got the wings. Everything fried was crisped to perfection, shrimp was definitely my favorite of the seafood and the wings were delicious as well! My husband said his hamburger steak was also great. Now for the hush puppies: oh my goodness, they were so addictive, it was almost like crispy cornbread(I would come back just for these!) The portions are huge and the prices are not so that was another highlight. To finish the review off I have to say thank you to the staff for being so kind and making us feel welcome, we will definitely be back next time we head this way!!

They have a large parking lot with numbered spots, so you don't forget where you parked. The decor is casual and unassuming. It is a large place, though. It can seat 220 guests and has both booths and tables. I dined here for brunch, but you order from the all-day menu. I read to go early to avoid a wait. Service was friendly, but the goal seemed to be to turn the tables quickly, so many customers left with to-go boxes. Well, I was on the road, so I couldn't go, so they had to wait for me to finish. I ordered the flounder with a baked potato, and it came with hush puppies. The food was really good, and I would have ordered dessert too, but I wasn't asked or even finished with my meal when the bill was dropped off. I liked my food, and the prices were reasonable. I don't like feeling rushed, though and like to enjoy my meal. Payment is taken at the front register. I paid cash because I wasn't sure whether they took credit cards, since that register was closed. By the time I got through the line and got change for the tip, people were already seated at my table. So I had to find my waitress to leave my tip. I might return again when it is less busy.

The place was simple and clean. We went to the counter and asked to see a menu. Surprising but they only have one bbq pork sandwich on the whole menu. So I asked if the cook made it himself and was it smoked bbq. We were honestly told he used to smoke ot but no longer does. We saw a few crockpots in the kitchen and decided not to eat there. My suggestion would be to remove the smoked from the name as it's hugely misleading if you don't smoke your own pork and only have 1 bbq sandwich on the menu.
