Gotham's Deli is a great place to stop if you are looking for lunch in Downtown Smithfield. It is…read moresimilar to a New York City deli but it is located in North Carolina. The walls are decorated in sports memorabilia and September 11th tributes. When you walk in, you will see the Statue of Liberty. I tried to sit in the Mets section, but that was taken as it is a busy place, so I sat near the Yankees. I was ok with the photo of Don Mattingly and don't hate the Yankees, I just love the Mets. I made sure to spend some time in that section before leaving, seeing the 1986 tributes to Mike Piazza, Jose Reyes, and David Wright. It is just fun to be surrounded by the memorabilia. The sandwiches also follow in the New York theme. I ordered the Mr. Met, it had ham, turkey, and roast beef with lettuce, provolone, and tomatoes. I've had it before, so I knew it was good and ordered the full size rather than a half. I enjoyed every bite of it. The service was friendly, and they have daily specials with a different sub featured each day. The food was prepared fresh and fast. If you are looking for a high-quality sub, this is the place to order from.

Decline. Recently came back to town and had lunch with a…read morefriend. We both ordered sandwiches. Philly. Bland experience. Fries and tots were generic. I'd say more, but it was such a beige experience I began to day dream of a few things while eating. ......Maybe this is a big bar, after work scene. Maybe I should attempt the BBQ next time.... All I can say is it will take a lot of effort for my friend to get me to go back.

The food is really good - only a couple of issues to keep the whole experience from being great…read more The first was portion consistency - we got 3 sandwiches and each had a different amount of chicken salad (mine has the least) so that was strange. And no option (at least not online) for extra chicken salad on the sandwich. But the chicken salad was tasty and the pimento cheese was outstanding so maybe we forgive the quantity issues right? The more frustrating thing was the ordering experience. We ordered online on the drive over then jumped into the drive-through for pickup. The cashier at the drive-through told us that our order had a promised time 15 minutes later and we needed to come back. Literally stupid that they couldn't just prepare the order just as if I had ordered it at the drive-through. So unless you're ordering way in advance don't expect online order convenience - sit and struggle with drive-through ordering or go inside and wait in line or you're going to start your meal with a crappy experience like ours. It's a good thing the food is so good We ordered online

They just launched their August menu and I cannot wait to try it all!

The Gilded Pear is located in Downtown Smithfield. It is located in the Hood-Spiers Building, which…read morehas been restored. It was built in 1900 and still has the original tin ceiling, decorative windows and exposed brick. Seating is on two floors, providing a cozy feel if sitting in the loft. They have the "Pear Necessities of Life" This is both a cafe for coffee and teas but also a bakery that serves breakfast and lunch. They are known for their bubble waffles, and crepes. But also have a large menu that has sandwiches, salads, flat breads and breakfast items. There should be something that appeals to even the pickiest eater. Ordering is done at the counter, and you receive a number, and the beverage and food are brought to your table. The menu is posted outside the entrance so you can check it out first. I went with a rose and cranberry lemonade that was a drink special, and the bubble waffle, and added strawberries and bananas. The bubble waffle intrigued me as I had never had one before. It is a honeycomb waffle popular in Hong Kong. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It looks like bubble wrap, which is hard to tell as mine was covered in strawberries and bananas. I enjoyed the texture and flavors of it. The Gilded Pear is a great addition if you're looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat.
