Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q

My wife and daughter and I stopped in for a quick lunch. We were greeted as we walked in the door by a friendly employee, Shirley, and she was very attentive to our order and very friendly and full of smiles. The food was fantastic. The portions are plenty and we each had some leftover to take home. Their fried chicken is different from other fast food restaurants. Their fried chicken is probably closer to what my grandma made when I was 10 years old super juicy, lots of pepper, and crunchy skin. The barbecue as well seasoned. I had coleslaw which was delicious and the french fries were piping hot. They were obviously just out of the fryer. All in all it was a fantastic dining experience.

Came after service today. My receipt shows 2:38 to be exact. Had an issue with the young lady taken my order once that was taken care of. Checked my food before leaving and had no bbq but a pint of coleslaw. Took it in and the manager noticed me and she asked what was the issue. Shared that the bbq was not there and I had a pint of coleslaw, which I did not order. Okay. Told me I can keep the coleslaw.

Sad to say I apologize to her. She went to sit back down did not provide an update on the food. There was a server sweeping around the tables where she was and she asked him in a rude way, “why are

I think Smithfield’s is highly underrated. Where else can you get the same quality food as fast and at this price point? It’s a tough find. My girlfriend and I can split a Combo-dark and be FULL for $13. The pork is solid. (Honestly better than a lot of the mom & pop bbq joints around these days charging double) The fried chicken is crispy and tender, the Brunswick stew is like a veggie with a bonus side of meat, and I love their old-school shoestring fries. The hush puppies are a little on the sweet side for my taste but they are consistent and well cooked. Add to that the crazy good service and it’s a no-brainer. They bring refills to the table and take the plates when you are done. Real food, faster than McDonalds, with almost diner level service, still at fast food prices (or better
