Restaurants in Smithfield

“Stopped in for supper after work & had a great experience. Dawn was behind the bar & took such good care of us—patient, attentive, & easy to talk with. The menu has everything from pho & gumbo to seafood boils, & she helped us sort through the choices. We liked the music & the vibe too. I ordered a seafood boil & it came with all the fixings—gloves, bib, crackers, tools, even a little trash can. Dawn double-bagged it to go, making sure it was packed just right. My husband said, “I feel spoiled… like an animal.” Couldn’t have said it better. We will be back to get some fried some shelled crabs, curry, & shrimp pho!”

“We stopped at the Smithfield Outback on our way home to SC. Tatiana was our waitress. Shen. was wonderful - friendly, attentive and upbeat., She gave us advice when we had questions, checked back several times to see how we were doing and if we needed anything, and made our visit truly enjoyable.”

“Great views of the airport tarmac and just the outside with large windows. Inside and outside seating was great!! We had a group of 8. Nacho appetizer was phenomenal and my favorite of all I tried. Spinach and artichoke was good but a little bland (a little more seasoning and it could be spot on). Several got salads that they all liked. Several got quesadillas and loved them. One got brisket which was good but cut too thick which made it difficult to bite. I got smoked chicken breast which I did not finish. It was over cooked and very dry. The chicken did have a good smoke flavor that was not over powering. The cheese in my Mac n cheese curdled so was not my fav side. You can't go wrong for the atmosphere. Even though there were a few things I didn't like I will still try again.”

“Delicious food a must try. Outstanding customer service. The cashier was nice and helpful. Super clean. ❤️👍🤗 Highly recommended 👌 🌮”

“We are so glad we found Celtic Creamery! As an allergy family, it can be really hard to find places where we can all safely enjoy a sweet treat together. Celtic Creamery truly stands out for offering delicious dairy-free options. The sweet staff member shared that they make their sherbet daily to help prevent any cross-contamination with dairy, which gave us so much peace of mind. It means the world to be able to enjoy ice cream as a family without worry. Highly recommend to anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions!”

“Literally the most delicious food: every dish, every time! I was first introduced to the penne a la vodka (dangerous!!)…it’s honestly beyond amazing! Return trips led me to try wings, salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. You can NOT beat the taste, the price, or the people!! The folks at Sami’s are awesome and you will NOT regret your meal! Not to mention a SUPER clean facility and amazing sanitation score!”

“Best ice hazelnut latte ,pumpkin muffin and bacon egg cheese with bacon jam greatest meal I’ve had in a long while out and about. I will definitely be back. And awesome customer service.”

“They have Keizer rolls, the last time I had a keizer I was on Long Island!”

“Great Service, Great Food”

“Unapologetically a bar. But a bar that serves outstanding f00d. If you have 30 minutes for lunch this is not for you. Everything is prepared fresh. But if you can relax for a few minutes with a couple draft beers you will be rewarded with a treat you won't regret.”

“Ordered breakfast sandwiches for a staff lunch and everybody loved them. Everything was timely and packaged ready for pickup. Thank you. Definitely would order again.”

“We love this place! Ericka is the most amazing bartender! 💙”

“Crystal is very friendly, and gives good service. Her Old Fashioned cocktail was excellent. They have a good selection of whiskey, and basic selection of wines and beer (draft and canned).

No food, but customers can bring in food.”

“Amazing customer service and the snowcones were perfect!”

“I just want to take a second and say if you haven't tried out the Peach Cobbler Factory located in Smithfield, North Carolina, you need to! It's an absolute must, my wife and I enjoyed their churros but don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed in the food nor the customer service! The owner is an amazing woman of God, LaKia! She believes in serving, helping others and giving back to the community.”

“Great drinks and service!”

“Live music, nice staff, Sunday funday is the best. come early to get you a plate. cold drinks. what mofe could you ask for.”

“I cannot recommend Evolve Nutrition enough. I found evolve last year, and I would go every day if I could. I’ve tried shakes and teas but my favorite tea by far is the joco juice. It’s a 10/10. The staff is always so friendly, sweet, and willing to talk. It’s in the perfect spot being across the road from planet fitness. I love that they do sales and have $5 off when you reach a certain number of points. I also love the vendor events they have had and how kind the owner is. You can tell she puts God first and lives for Him and it’s so encouraging. I have only nice things to say about evolve and it is truly one of my favorite places to go. I have been to other Herbalife places and they’re just not the same. If you’re in the area you should definitely stop by!”

“great food, real Mexican food! muy buena comida mexicana. excelente sabor de tortillas y carne.”

“I have been going to the White Swan since I was a little girl with my grandmother. My dad is 81 this year and he and my mother have been going for years. They used to go on their dates there. Best food ever.”

“The best bar around , 10/10. You can’t compete where you don’t compare. This bar out does every bar every time!”

“This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. The food has always been amazing. My wife tried there taco salad last night. It looked more like cream of mushroom soup. Something went wrong with the portions of ingredients. We showed our waitress. She said “you stirred it to much” The manager came over without us complaining to her and apologized and said she was embarrassed. She heavily discounted the bill to try to make things right. We appreciate that and will definitely return. Our waitress Brenda seemed to insinuate we just wanted free food and drinks. Even though I handed her a 20% cash tip for the un discounted check amount. And told her the food wasn’t her fault. Everything else was great as usual. And the manager made every effort to insure a positive experience. El Barzon is a great place to eat. We highly recommend it.”

“Wonderful spot to grab a bite to eat with friends or family. Service begins with fresh chips and salsa, and the menu has something for everyone. I had the California Quesadilla and have to say, it was one of the best quesadillas I've had in years, and I'm from Arizona where good Mexican food is plentiful! Fast and friendly staff, easy parking, all around an excellent establishment.”

“The best Mexican Food ever, and the service was awesome. This was my first visit, but I will definitely be back!!”

“Great food. Great service too. We had breakfast here, and it was delicious. All of the food was good, but if you like sausage gravy, this is the place to get it. It takes like grandma's home cooking. They put plenty of sausage in their gravy, and it looks and tastes like it has been simmered for a while. Yummy!”

“From NY & this place is closest to NY Chinese food we had since been here. Get a lot for your money. Was so good will be back. Egg roll was to die for even sweet & sour chicken. Hubby loved the beef & broccoli.”

“Smithfield Chick-fil-A does a great job serving Johnston County. Most orders are accurate and served from well trained staff. for the very atypical order when something isn't right, they are quick to resolve the matter and show a desire to get it right.”
