Barbeque Restaurants near Wendell

“So the tables needed to be wiped but there a few clean ones. That doesn’t bother me. Always give people the benefit of a doubt. Maybe they just had a super busy rush & nobody could wipe them. If it bothers you, just say to the first person you see: Excuse me. Could you get someone out here to clean the tables, please? Easy breezy. They’ll do it. What matters is the sanitation grade. It was a 96 which is good enough for me. The area they were preparing the food was very clean. All the food looked great. The employees weren’t friendly but I don’t care. They weren’t mean either. Just neutral. The girl who rang us up was friendly and nice. Don’t worry about tables with paper items left on them like wrappers. Worry about the kitchen and food. I was impressed enough that I’ll be back!“

“I don’t normally write reviews for restaurants but after visiting Prime, I just had to let others know. First, the restaurant was clean and beautiful inside and out. The staff was friendly and attentive. The line to order was out the door. I guess that should have been my first clue that the service and food was going to be out of this world. They offered cold water to us while we waited in line. This was me and my family’s first time trying this restaurant and they were so patient and answered all our questions on meat and the best options. (Yes, we were those people holding up the line. Sorry!) The young men cutting and preparing the meat were knowledgeable and super nice. I ended up purchasing several items (Brisket, Ribs, House Made Sausage, and Turkey Breast). All I can say is if you are within 100 miles of this place you must make the trip! Your stomach will love you for it!“

“Just stopped at Smithfield’s Chicken ‘n Bar-B-Q in Zebulon, NC & we were so impressed! 👏🏻 The food quality was top-notch & absolutely delicious. We had the BBQ sandwich — mouthwateringly yummy with that signature Eastern Carolina vinegar-based flavor — and the chicken tenders were huge, moist & perfectly seasoned 😋 Our server Charles was outstanding — cheerful, helpful, & super efficient. Great food and great service — what more could you ask for? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“food is always great! haven't got anything negative to say.. all of em were great! my kids love their food as well! the chef was nice enough to come over my table and check how the food was.. honestly 1 of the best chinese restaurant I've been to. keep it up guys! specially the quality of your foods!👍“

“I think Smithfield’s is highly underrated. Where else can you get the same quality food as fast and at this price point? It’s a tough find.

My girlfriend and I can split a Combo-dark and be FULL for $13.

The pork is solid. (Honestly better than a lot of the mom & pop bbq joints around these days charging double) The fried chicken is crispy and tender, the Brunswick stew is like a veggie with a bonus side of meat, and I love their old-school shoestring fries. The hush puppies are a little on the sweet side for my taste but they are consistent and well cooked.

Add to that the crazy good service and it’s a no-brainer. They bring refills to the table and take the plates when you are done. Real food, faster than McDonalds, with almost diner level service, still at fast food prices (or better depending on the fast food). What’s not to like?“

“Smithfield in Clayton was very friendly and clean. Enjoyable experience!“

“Really enjoyed the brisket nachos- solid flavor everytime. The quesadillas are huge! We also ordered the guac this time (usually go for the chips & queso) and while it tasted fresh it was missing the heat factor I’m used to. Be aware- there are no open restrooms! When we asked where we could wash hands/ change our baby’s diaper we were told to go across the street to the public park restrooms.“

“I absolutely love this place! Everything I have tried is so delicious! Had the best waitress today!“

“We went Valentine’s Night. Every where had over an hour wait, we got here and my party of 6 was seated immediately! Our server was amazing! And the food was outstanding! They had a limited menu for valentines night so we will definitely go back on another night to try more items!“

“They have amazing karaoke every Saturday night!“
