“Everything was great except the coleslaw. I've not had coleslaw that tasted like pickle slaw before. Not my favorite. And the portions were a little small. Otherwise, great little café with reasonable prices and tasty burgers. Would definitely return.

“There's a reason you can catch so many locals here. My family and I stopped here on a Saturday morning after seeing a long line at another spot. Food was awesome and the service was excellent. I had a simple but delicious bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. My kids (two 10 yo boys) each enjoyed a plate sized pancake w/ bacon (crispy, their favorite) and my wife had the feta omelet which she said was excellent. Cool local college vibe with maybe one too many Carolina logos :) but really a great spot for folks on the island or maybe heading home after check out. If we ever find ourselves down that way again, we're definitely stopping.“

It was delicious & included iced tea, cups, paper plates, napkins, utensils, bbq sauce, hush puppies, & even salt & pepper…….plus ice. I couldn’t have asked for better food & service…….it was ready at pick-up time & rolled out on a cart with help to load into my car. I would definitely recommend this for a crowd & will definitely do this again!! Thank you, Smithfield’s in Shallotte!!!!“
