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!“

“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.“

“Stasia and Charles were great servers for our date night!!!“

“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“

“There Mac & cheese is the bomb🙂 You gotta try the BBQ and buffalo Mac & cheese!!“

“We had an amazing meal on the deck on a perfect October nightl! The clam strips were cooked just right and the entrees were just as good. I had the Mahi which was seasoned perfectly and my wife had the New York Strip and said it was one of the best steaks she has had in a long time. Can't wait to go back again!“

“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.“

“The cocktails here are incredible. They're not too expensive and have a variety of fun options with interesting presentation. The charcuterie board had some delicious cheeses. The seafood pasta was creamy and the seafood was cooked perfectly, I wouldve liked a bit more flavor..The flour less chocolate cake was fine.

A heads up for special events: we asked if the kitchen could do something for a graduation but nothing was offered (I don't think they regularly do that sort of thing). All in all, terrific service and good food.“

“Nice little selection of bourbon, great service and food. Will definitely be back soon“

“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!!“

“Today was my first time eating here. I had the garden omelette and it was fantastic. Our waitress, Kelly, was wonderful. She had a handful with our group, but managed beautifully. She made the experience phenomenal! I look forward to eating here again, especially for breakfast. Thank you!“

“We enjoyed the food, seems like the place has mostly new people working now, so be patient. The food is worth the wait, the prices are great. But yeah, make sure you waiter/tress is writing things down and paying attention to you while to place your order. If you do that, you shouldn’t have any issues. Everyone is always friendly .“

“Our waiter was a little rude. He seemed to have an attitude. Other than that the food was good and of course being with my family! My dad’s 91st Birthday!!!“
