Our Guestbook
“ Our family loves this place. We don't have one close to home but when we go on vacation we definitely stop at one if it's in the area. ”
“ Been a while since I've been to any Smithfields but overall not bad. The fries were plentiful, the popcorn shrimp was actually popcorn shrimp, and hushpuppies are always excellent. The BBQ is a little bland to me, even with the extra sauce. As a fast food joint, it a great option. But as a BBQ joint, lack of smoke makes it a "pass". But it was as expected, store was clean, service was fast and friendly. Cheers. ”
“ This was our first time eating at SCNB. Passing through going home from the beach we decided to give it a try. Very happy with the meal, the employees were pleasant & helpful, the restrooms were spotless and freshly cleaned. 10/10! ”
“ This is one of my favorite places to eat when I come in town. Great food and service. ”
“ The new restaurant is awsome upgrade from old place ... Mr lebeu the manager is awesome and essential part to the great operation of this restaurant he super friendly knowledgeable and while on my visit I found woman wallet on the counter at the register I told him and he immediately recognizes and ran outside tru the parking lot to catch elderly lady b4 driven off to return it . A also the Brunswick stew is absolutely addictive. But I really wanted to take time to mention this guy awsome act of kindness ”
“ Smithfield New Bern catered a bachelor party for us.They were prompt ,order was correct.Food was good.I would use them again. ”
“ I will preface with I am vegetarian so my rating is based on what I gathered from my family, whom I picked up food for. The service was fast and cordial. Eating/sitting area was ample for large groups and clean. The food is always quality, plenty of meal options/combos. ”
“ Good Ole Carolina BBQ! Smithfield Chicken and BBQ is the best. There was no way I could pass through NC without stopping. I wish I could take this BBQ to the Midwest so the vs can stop. Vinegar base vs. BBQ sauce. There is no comparison, especially on shredded pork. If you don't know what hush puppies are then shame on you. You must stop in and try both the real BBQ and hush puppies. I must add ... the sweet tea is perfectly sweet. ”
