The absence of BBQ sauce in the takeout bag was a notable oversight.Coleslaw: 4.1/10The coleslaw was average in taste, suffering only from a visual standpoint that didn't invite anticipation.Baked Beans: 4.4/10An utterly average side dish, reminiscent of standard canned baked beans, lacking the homemade quality that could elevate the dish.Chicken Wings: 6.1/10A highlight of the meal, these wings were well-cooked, crispy, and notably better than average, distinguished by their crispness.Value: 5.1/10At $45 for three meals, the value proposition is a mixed bag. The chicken wings seem to justify their portion of the cost, while the pulled pork dishes fall short, reflecting a hit-or-miss experience.

Food was good but we had to wait 20 minutes for chicken tenders.
Smithfield's is a regional chain that is consistently good. Serving fried chicken, Carolina style pulled pork BBQ and all the classic traditional Carolina BBQ fixins. The pulled pork is North Carolina style with a vinegar based sauce it's consistently moist with a little bit of a bite to it. The chicken is always crispy, not to greasy and not try. Their bbq beans are excellent. It has some of the pulled pork for a depth of flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. The coleslaw is one of the better restaurant made slaws off had. The hush puppies a flavorful with a bit of sweet and not dryer out. You can buy everything ala carte or in combinations of various sizes. The staff is friendly and the service is counter style with seating, if you want to eat there. They also typically have a drive thru.
If you can’t get to Parker’s,Wilber’s or B’s , this will pass as bbq. All ways good and for the price can’t beat it. I don’t fry chicken at home (creates an environmentally bad clean up) I go to SCB to eat fried chicken.

This is a pretty bland option for barbecue but it's very consistent. I've been to many locations and they are consistently the same because obviously this is mass produce.I would not consider this true Carolina Barbecue because it's not truly smoked on scene. I don't even think it's smoked at all. Carolina Barbecue for me needs to be smoked, cooked fresh, and contain a lot of passion. In the case of Smithfield's it's more like fast food and you get pretty much that quality.I gave three stars mostly because again it is very consistent. The service is pretty fast in the atmosphere is very good. I took two stars away mostly because the barbecue is mass produced and because of that the quality of the food is not what it could be if it actually was smoked.

Great food. Just wish the location was closer to my home.
Bbque sandwich was a little wet the roll. Chicken not as good as it used to be..no body in line and had to wait.
