While waiting for my order to be taken ! The cashier kept looking away and rolling her eyes at me because I was telling her that I about my shellfish allergy . I was told that after years of eating her with a shellfish allergy that the use the same fryer to fry all of there food! If you have an allergy please make sure you ask how your food is being prepared!

I go to this place and spend $60 easy for a family of 4 frequently. Well I order breakfast food but can’t to the barn without getting chicken so ordered to wings 1 for my daughter and I. The wing is only like 50 cent cheaper than a wing but we wanted wings. I get to the window and they say they’re out of wings. Ask if would like to substitute I only eat white meat. So changed for a breast. They put only 1 breast in the bag. Mind you the 1 breast is less than 2 wings and they didn’t change it on the receipt or offer to remove an item to make even just going to overcharge me. So I went back through the drive thru because the chicken was for 2 people not 1. I went thru and advised and they made the argument that the breast is less than wings yeah I know so y’all over charged me. They said the wings were up so they gave me the wings I originally requested but the biscuit was more of a cracker it was so hard. Like unbelievably hard. So at this point I didn’t feel secure eating the chicken and returned it. I also had something in my sweet teas so we didn’t drink those either. When I took it back it was a different shift just that fast but I believe the same leader because she asked no questions. Just a very silent dismissive nasty attitude. This experience completely change my view of this establishment that I had began to love so much. Every time I was in Smithfield I would have to stop by not anymore. Have to be very careful where you eat at these days. To accommodate the customer should have just gave 2 breast as you had already charged my card. This was poor customer service and a lack of wanting to satisfy your patrons.

Went inside to order to go last night. Cashier seemed rude & off putting. No hello, just said “for here or to go”.After ordering no “thank you” & seemed to have an attitude when we asked for our cups. Fried chicken sandwich was just an oversized nugget on a bun & chicken salad was a large tablespoon of relish mixed with mayo with a little bit of chicken. Used to be the place to go for good food but I won’t be back.

They gave me cold, chicken, cold, french fries, and you manager want me to bring back the chicken when I order food I don’t intend to bring it back. I’m ready to eat. I am very unhappy with your service.
