I can't believe i spent $58 dollars for 2 shrimp baskets, 2 gizzards plain, and 3pc chicken legs. The chicken legs was too hard to chew, gizzards taste terrible and the shrimp baskets was entirely too salty to eat. This is unacceptable and it's not fair to spend so much money, when the food is poor quality.

It breaks my heart to write this because the owner appears to be a nice lady. My wife and i will never patronize this restaurant again, not after lunch today. We used to eat there a year ago. Today the food quality was poor. My wife knows their shrimp all.too well. No doubt they changed their supplier. The shrimp sucked, so much so that she took it home for her cats
Also l, the 23 cent senior discount was appalling on a $35.00 bill. What a joke. But the worst was when leaving. I already spent 35 bucks and went to the counter to ask for a to go box. The Hispanic lady says she'll give me a paper bag. I pointed to the shelf and demanded a to go plastic tray , after saying....I JUST PAID YOU 35.00.
I am done with this restaurant. Not to mention it's filthy. My arms stuck to the nasty tables. Boy has it gone downhill.

Most of the food is pretty good as long as you aren't looking for anything healthy. I think the chicken salad on grilled wheat would be the healthier option. Dear Chicken Barn owner, can you PLEASE teach your chefs the difference of Bread, Toast and Grilled . If I order a sandwich grilled with butter that's what I want. PLEASE PLEASE teach your chefs how to spread butter on a piece of bread and GRILL a sandwich to brown!!!! It makes ALL of your sandwiches taste SO MUCH better if done properly!!! All I get from your kitchen when I asked for a GRILLED wheat cheese sandwich or a GRILLED wheat BLT is BARELY toasted bread with no butter that is soggy and falls about. For the love of GOD PLEASE PLEASE teach your chefs how to spread butter on bread and grill that sandwich to a brown color so my sandwich taste s million times better and doesn't fall apart!!!!!!! Thank you very very much😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Got a 2 piece combo and a porkchop sandwich.
The pork chop legit had no flavor
The chicken was ok. Pretty dry even though I got 2 thighs.
Fries were very salty compared to everything else.

Their lemonade and iced tea were ok.

Anyway, all in all not worth but give it a try I guess.

The chicken was hard, and the fries were warm. She acts like she had a problem with me. I came out of town to visit my aunt. We stop there to eat

Great food. The fried chicken is the best. Always hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The servers are very nice and the restaurant is comfortable. I come to Smithfield often just to come here and have lunch. I am lucky to have found this place since it is behind a gas station/convenience store and recommend it to all!
