Nice and crispy fried chicken. Service was good. Hush puppies were tasty. Wasn't a fan of the tea though, it was like drinking watered down sugar, but that could just be me. Potato salad was also meh, but everything else was great. Would definitely eat here again. read more

We purchased 2 of 2 meal deal BBQ and chicken dinner on 1/17/26. The side and BBQ were great but the chicken was not all the way cooked and we were unable to eat it. Just a heads uo check your chicken better. Lynne Bowie lynnerbowie@gmail.com read more

We used to adore their chicken, but several years ago corporate changed their fried chicken recipe and it went from really spectacular to almost awful. Very sad. read more

Me and a friend of mine was there today 7/5/25 and it was raining outside and I guess he was a manager, not for sure his position but he went to his car got an umbrella and helped me and her get in my car. We were very pleased and happy that he helped us today. I wish I knew his name. Thank you. read more

Had to do a last-minute catering order as a local mom and pop smokehouse never responded to us after several attempts. My wife placed an order for fried chicken and barbecue and we couldn't have been happier. Abundant amount of food that was well prepared and delicious. The sides were excellent as well. Plenty of plates and add-ons so we didn't have to worry about anything else. The order was ready to go when we got there and our guests loved it! I would definitely recommend this location for any catering needs. The price was reasonable, and the service was excellent! read more

If you are not watching your calories, Smithfield's is a fabulous place to eat. BBQ or fried chicken with sides of corn, Brunswick stew, fries, hush puppies, cole slaw. How can you go wrong. Chicken is fresh and hot and battered just right. BBQ is moist and flavorful. Great tea and banana pudding! This is good food and they give you great portions Can't go wrong !! read more

Our order was taken by a nice young man named Mason! He was very polite, and took our order quickly. Our food was delicious and brought to us by Miss Robbins. Both employees were very courteous, and deserve recognition! Thank you Mason & Miss Robbins for a JOB WELL DONE!!! read more

The chicken sandwich was fine. However, my issue is that there was a dog (no indication it was a service dog) in the dining room indoors. I expressed my discomfort to the employees. They asked if I was allergic. I said no and they did not ask the dog to leave and sit at an outdoor table I believe tbe law is no dogs in businesses serving food. I will not be back! read more

Chicken and Hushpuppies are off the chart. I've order from them for catering and smaller amounts. Orders are done on time but not too early to get gross. Everyone there is super nice and helpful. Best chicken in the ILM area. read more

Great BBQ, awesome fried chicken.... some of the best in town. This is a pretty plain-Jane place, but it is spic and span, the service is really good, and everybody is polite. I like it. read more

Fast service and good portions especially after a day of driving. The price was right too.

Came through with my grandparents to grab dinner. Food ordered the MANAGER literally blew in his glove with his breath and put it on to prepare our food. He didn't think it was seen but i saw him and when explaining to him what i seen him do he said he blew into the exterior. Worked plenty of fast foods before and i know for a fact your not supposed to do such a thing. I'll never return here again. read more

I received excellent customer service from Heidi. I was in the restaurant for two different occasions. Once I came inside. Heidi waited on me and helped me pick the best way to get food for me and my family. She was patient and very helpful. She took the time to let me know all the different options available. I really appreciate her help and knowledge of your menu options for your customers. Then I came by on another day through the drive-thru. Again, I was greeted by the wonderful Heidi. She was smiling and happy . They made me feel like she really cared about her customers. She offered to let me try one of your drink products that I had not had before. It was very good. I feel like you are very lucky to have someone like Heidi working with you. She was put the customers first. Thanks for having such an amazing woman working at your restaurant. Can't wait to come by again. Hope I get to see Heidi again. read more

Very good fried chicken and sides. Friendly service and prepared timely. It was a take out order.

Just what my gluten free friend needed to help her recover from knee replacement! Bbq, slaw, hush puppies. Ordered online and it was ready when I got there. Cashier was pleasant and the food delicious. We also ordered a large amount for a neighborhood party and all was delicious. read more

I ordered 2 chicken sandwiches in the drive thru and nothing else. That was at 10 :45 am. I was asked to move up to the pickup area where I waited for 12 minutes finally getting my lukewarm sandwiches, all the while watching the 2 cars that ordered behind me get their food and drive away. Buy the way the chicken sandwich consists of 2 tenders on a hamburger bun. No pickles. No mayonnaise. Nothing, I did not even get napkins, which weren't needed anyway because the sandwiches were as dry as anything I have ever eaten. I will never spend my money at Smithfield again. read more

I was in town for business at the nearby TV station and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat before heading out. I checked several places on Yelp and decided on SCNB since I had been to their other locations before. It was mid-afternoon past the lunch rush and I got a sandwich, sweet tea and fries to go. I had to wait a few minutes but then a staff member brought out my order and very politely thanked me. The barbecue was as I remembered, decent but not extraordinary like some joints (it is a chain, after all). This is definitely a good option when you are in the area. read more

I don't think this place should even open their doors. The menu is limited, and the food is terrible. There were three of us and we all agreed to abandon ship five minutes into attempting to eat. It was that bad. read more

Good barbecue sandwich. Love the vinegar sauce. Food sat at the serving window a good 5 minutes before being brought out! Come on!

Stopped in for lunch, there were just a few tables filled with patrons. First thing I noticed that it was incredibly loud in the restaurant, sound just bouncing off the wall - not pleasant. We ordered , dIfficult with the noise in the restaurant. Ordered a chicken tender value pack and a chicken tender sandwich. We received our beverages and found a seat. We were told that it would be a few minutes, they were cooking the tenders . We were offered our beverages to be freshened up while we waited. The tenders arrived ; hot , crispy, moist and flavorful. The shoestring fries were perfectly cooked. It was a good experience. read more

Incredible service and food as always from Smithfield's. This location was awesome- very friendly and clean. Hush puppies were fresh and service was fast! Thank you! read more

Ordered from drive through and Landen & Mrs Neil were exceptional! Very polite and personable.....something you don't often get anymore. Thanks for your wonderful customer service!!! read more

This was absolutely the worst experience. I went through drive through and waited 30 minutes for 5 chicken tenders. At first the person at the window said a 10 minute wait. That ended up being 30 minutes. That's unacceptable!! I know staffing is the issue but tell the customer the truth before they pay so they can decide if they want to move forward. There prices have increased exponentially to add to the poor service. They just lost a loyal customer read more

I am so disappointed in the change in the fried chicken. I just can't anymore. It is so gross. Please go back to the one you used to use. The new version is disgusting and I can't give you my business any longer. I have given you a fair try approximately 5 times. Last night was the last. My husband tried to order BBQ Chicken Platters, but came home with fried. They can't even get the orders right in the drive through. Not the first time this has happened even before they changed their chicken. I just can't anymore. I really hope you fix your missteps. You were my go to for fried chicken, but looks like I will have to return to BoJangles. read more

Love this location, they are usually pretty fast, always tasty, and have great customer service. Heidi in particular is amazing and sweet as can be! read more

Food was what I expected and service was good! Restaurant was clean and employees were friendly and cooperative.

The food and service is always consistent and delicious. I always get the tender plate with extra hushpuppies and coleslaw. Good every time and they don't skimp. Heidi helped me today and she was extremely kind, the perfect person to have at the window! read more

Went through the drive thru recently & Heidi was the sweetest lady ever!! Our pup was barking to say hello & Heidi offered him a hushpuppy!! Heidi reminded us why we love Smithfield's!! read more

Food was not bad (except the pecan pie is pre-packaged Sara Lee), but experience was awful. We were on our way to hotel after long day of driving, and we were tired and hungry. I ordered THREE meals online to pickup about the time we would arrive. Got there 15 minutes later and went inside, but there were no directions as to where to pick up. I finally got the attention of one of the teens behind the counter. She went to a register, asked my name, then printed a ticket and put it in the queue with all the drive-thru and dining room orders. So much for saving time. So I waited. And waited, and waited. Finally saw them put my order together (I could tell by the three pies). And set it aside! So I again got someone's attention and asked for my order. Finally, we got to the hotel room only to find we were missing an entire meal. Except for the pie. read more

Always enjoy coming to this restaurant and receive my food fast too. Heidi always has a smile and provides excellent customer service when I order food here. read more

Love Smithfield BBQ but on recent inside dining at lunch they were very busy and most waiting in line were without masks and they were not disinfecting tables between use. We felt very uncomfortable and will not dine in there under present circumstances. At risk people should do take out only. read more

Think how good the BBQ would be if Smithfield's added an adequate amount of BBQ sauce on their sandwiches. I picked up several BBQ sandwiches last Thursday evening, the sandwiches would have been much more enjoyable with sauce. I'm not returning to Smithfield's until an adequate amount of sauce is included on one BBQ sandwich. Also, please don't tell me I can or will have to buy extra sauce for my sandwich, when is no sauce was on the sandwich to begin with. read more

They have a great shrimp burger. I have them add lettuce and pickles and I add cocktail sauce. Also if you get a pint of the Brunswick Stew, with is incredible, you can get an additional one for only $1. I freeze the 2nd container. Always very clean dining room and great drive through help, but I do drive through and eat half of it before I get home! Also, they have a great southern mustard potato salad I recommend as well. read more

Stopped on the way back to Myrtle Beach. Did not realize it was a fast food place until we were inside. I was hungry and didn't feel like getting back in the car. The food was bland as hell. I got the BBQ sandwich and hush puppies. How do you get a bbq sandwich and they don't have bbq sauce? Maybe it's a North Carolina thing, but either way the pork was not very good. Look like they scooped it out of a bucket of water. I couldn't pour enough hot sauce on the sandwich to give it a little flavor. Hush puppies were good, but very over powered by a corn bread taste. The people were nice. But avoid this place if you're looking for good food. read more
