Made a pit stop at this Smithfield’s on my way to Richmond. It was dinner time on a Friday night and there was a pretty good crowd but no wait for me to order. The woman who took my order didn’t seem particularly happy to see me, answer my questions, or take my order. Not a great start.
I ordered the BBQ plate with potato salad. It also came with cole slaw and hushpuppies. For me, the bbq lacked that smoked flavor. There was a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes and a vinegar-​based sauce. Just bland. Speaking of bland, the hushpuppies were terribly boring. The potato salad was fine.
If I come back, I’ll try the chicken but with all of the options at this exit, I’m not sure I’ll come back.

Great BBQ if you’re into NC style.
Since people’s taste in BBQ is so varied, I can say that you should know what you’re getting into. If you are into it, this is a great BBQ joint.
Good for the price, and closer to the border than Lexington. I will eat here again as soon as I can get back.

Customer svc good but I left because it seemed like the bbq wouldn’t be that good. I did try the banana pudding. Nothing to write home about.

This place was more like a local kfc than I expected. We took a good look and then turned around and went a few doors down to chik-​fal-​a. We were traveling through and not in the mood for fried food. It wasn’t the cleanest. It was cute and old fashioned but I didn’t expected the all fried only fried options. If you want friend food and want to support a semi small chain — try it? I wasn’t interested.

The chicken here is AWESOME! I had their special 2x thighs and fries. it was delicious! I had to try a Carolina BBQ pulled pork sandwich with their signature sauce… it was great as well!

I never thought I’d say this but Unilocal failed me. Maybe it’s because I’m not from the area but seriously? This is a poor excuse for what looks like a chain. Raving about their barbecue. First of all you walk in and there is an archaic board of «» menu options which basically consist of chicken or bbq. Not knowing what either were, through a series of probing questions we managed to place an order for a chunk of fried chicken, and a plate of chicken and bbq combo. The bbq was a mush of grossly colored and even worse tasting what looked like it attempted to be pulled pork. Served on a styrofoam plate? This place is basically the inbred southern cousin of a kfc. 2 stars because the fried chicken was edible.

Very good BBQ place. This is the first Smithfield’s I’ve ever been to and I was so pleased! The food was great. Even though I’m not the hugest North Carolina barbecue fan, this was exceptional! The sweet tea was DEFINITELY southern; very sweet and not for the faint of heart. The most impressive part about it was the staff. They were absolutely incredible! So friendly, so helpful! It was such a great experience!

We stopped through on our drive home. We ended up ordering a BBQ platter with beans and potato salad. Also, we ordered a 4 piece chicken casket. The BBQ was delicious, but I was not used to the style of vinegar sauce they had. I didn’t dislike it, it was just unfamiliar to me. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and had great flavor. On top of that the staff was extremely polite and the establishment was especially clean.

We have tried three BBQ restaurants in Henderson, and Smithfields is the best. Granted the BBQ sauce is bottled, store-​bought Texas Pete instead of a house sauce, but the pulled pork flavor is good without a sauce. We think Smithfields has the best potato salad of the three restaurants we tried. The hush puppies and cole slaw are good.

Good food in generous portions. I also liked their variety of sides, some of which you can’t get at many places.

The BBQ is pulled pork with some crushed red pepper mixed in. The only «BBQ» sauce on the dirty tables was some generic tobasco. The shrimp looked like it came from a box of gortons from the freezer aisle. Food debris in the bench seats. … pass on by this place.
