23 Best American Restaurants near Smithfield

“Good God Almighty, this place has some of the best food I've ever tasted! Don't leave without trying the stew. It's like a warm hug for your stomach. I only wish my stomach was bigger so that I could have had it all. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh and the dishes are made fresh. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they don't even have a freezer; what would be the point? The service was impeccable, and so friendly. You might have to wait a tiny bit to get a table, but there's a reason; everyone wants their food!“

“I regularly take my group home friends from Richmond to enjoy the Sunday brunch. We were just there, this past Sunday and enjoyed seeing our favorite person in the world, Natalie!“

“We made plans for our anniversary to stay at the Smithfield Inn and Restaurant. The new owner was very friendly and could not do enough to made our anniversary a happy occasion. The meal was excellent and our room was very cozy with fireplace and seating area separate from the bedroom. It was very clean and quiet. Then to top it off we were given breakfast coupons for the near by Gourmet Bakery. The bakery was also excellent. We would stay there again and longer to enjoy the cute small downtown shops. Be back soon!“

“The meal was delicious and served at the appropriate temperature. The ambiance of the establishment was inviting, and the staff was courteous and attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, particularly the cinnamon swirl pancakes, which were exceptionally delectable. The white cheddar grits were also quite good, and I appreciated the option to create a custom omelet. My husband ordered the French toast and an omelet, both of which he enjoyed. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to sample the mimosas, but based on their appearance, I believe they would have been refreshing.“

“Our server Jake was awesome! Super attentive and helpful. Good and drink on point as always. We will be back!“

“We had the King Suite and the bed was very comfortable. The bedroom was big and so was the living room area. There is only one bathroom so our daughtet had to use the one in our room. Although the pull out couch was okay she preffered the roll away bed that they provided when asked. When you walk into your room there is a switch by the door that you must turn on to turn the bathroom lights on and off in the bathroom. The bathroom was a nice size with good lighting. The floor can be a little slippery when wet. It may have been the type of tile. The pool area was very nice and enjoyed. The lobby area is a nice size. Oh although you cant tell the King Suite door closes and locks. The staff was very friendly all the time. When ever we needed anything they were there to assist. Overall I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Besides the one bathroom in the suite I would give 10 because of the confort. If continental breakfast was availablenit would have been 12“

“Excellent tuna tartare with a twist we were a party of five and everyone's food came out in court and mine, but the waitress took it and said chef is not happy with the way your oysters are cooked and they redid it which I definitely appreciated. He evidently saw that they were too well done via other Coding rather noisy so hard to carry on a conversation and hear across the table, but the food is outstanding everyone enjoyed everything they had seafood excellent.“

“Just tried this place out for the first time. My burger was fantastic, and they had one of my favorite brews on tap. Wide variety of beers to choose from on their beer tap wall. I’m looking forward to making this one of my favorite hangouts in Newport News.“

“11/13/2022 Lunch with friends today. As always food was hot and cooked to our liking. Never disappointed. Today it was especially good. The Super Young Lady we had as a Server, her name was Rachel was an absolute pleasure!! All of us said the same thing. Attentive. Super Personality and just couldn’t have been any sweeter. We all brag about the food; but Young People like this deserve recognition and hopefully Management let’s her know how much we enjoyed the food, but she was the highlight of the meal. Excellent Job Young Lady!!“
