I love this place, if you are hungry for some good Bar-B-Q this is your spot. They have a vase variety of food to choose from. The staff always has a smile on their faces. Very little wait time for your food they are prompt in gettin you food to you. A++++ on service and cleanliness. They sell BBQ to go if your like me and that midnight craving hits boom you are well taking care of.

I am a northern boy that loves fried chicken. I was getting gas next door could smell the chicken and it smelled great. Glad I stopped in. I asked what a hush puppy was and they laughed at me. Glad I tried that too. The chicken was delicious and the hush puppies were also. I especially loved the fact there was a sink that you could wash your hands in right in the restaurant and not the bathroom.

The crew was absolutely fantastic and great atmosphere. The food on the other hand I expected more for the hype I’ve hears for years. Chicken had no flavor, the breading was bland, and they don’t tell you it’s a SWEET potato salad which is gross. The pork was dry.

Worst Smithfield’s that I have ever visited. Placed an order on line a week ahead. I pre paid the order. Showed up exactly when they said the order would be ready. Let the cashier know that I was there to pick up my order. She confirmed it with the prep staff. Waited 30 minutes. Asked about order again. Cashier confirmed with prep staff. Waited another 15 minutes. This time I was told they did not have an order for me. They had me wait 45 minutes before acknowledging they did not have my order. Thirty minutes later I was given my order. The cashier apologized but no one from management bothered to acknowledge the wait or that they lost my order. I was just a customer that was expected to wait 1.5 hours for an order I placed ahead of time and paid for.

The shrimp they had on their menu as if it was regular fried shrimp, do look a lot like popcorn shrimp but it was tasty. The staff is polite and willing to help you with your orders. The wait was not long at all.
