Barley and Burger - Smashed

A Must-Try in Smithfield, NC!I recently visited this place with a couple of coworkers, and it turned out to be even better than I expected. I decided to keep it simple and ordered the All-American Burger and fries--comfort food at its finest.What really stood out to me is that their burgers are named after 80s movies and shows, which adds a fun twist to the menu. Now I have a reason to go back and try more! Next on my list is the Maverick--loaded with garlic aioli, A-1 sauce, American cheese, and crispy onion straws. That sounds like the perfect burger for my taste.Another big plus was the friendly staff. And, let me tell you, they give you more fries than I've ever gotten anywhere! I finished my burger and was still working on those fries, which never happens for me. They were absolutely delicious!If you find yourself in Smithfield, NC, I highly recommend giving this spot a try. You won't be disappointed!

Seen the reviews and decided to give'm a try. Yeah, nope! The staff was nice enough.. little to no communication. (I'm straight with it) We were the only ppl in the spot. Ordered 2 burgers, a chicken sandwich, 1 fry and, 2 onion rings, plus pretzels. This took over 25mins. I mean, I am all down to wait for good food.. but yeah, NOPE! It's too pricey for the for the quality they served us! (LACKING)... We WILL spend $$ on good food, good it was not. So disappointing.

Stopped by Barley and Burger on Saturday a little after 7pm there was a line that moved along quickly. We were greeted and welcomed by Kristie when we placed our order one All American with Cheese and tater tots a Truffle Shuffle with onion rings. Food was served fresh and hot and tasted great, staff was friendly and responsive and the restaurant was clean. If you are in the area looking for a burger I recommend that you stop here!

I had no idea this burger joint was in Smithfield. We got done walking at the Smithfield park and decided to get some food. I got the truffle shuffle burger. It has Caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, truffle aioli. I had a side of the aioli, it was a bit sweet for my taste. I got the sweet potato waffle fries with it. My kids loved them. Too much sugar and cinnamon for my taste. I also had a side of onion rings. The onion rings tasted freshly made -best ones I've had in a while! Fries were good reminded me of Wendy's fries. My husband got their salad with the burger patty as his meat option. The salad looked amazing I wish I took a picture of it. His meat came on the side and the dressing came in packets. The service was good and the food came out fast. The ambiance of the place reminded me of an old Taco Bell. I did not care for it. I did like how they had tables outside. I would definitely recommend this place to others now that I know it exists!

We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. The lady that took our order at the counter was super nice and helpful.Atmosphere was simple and clean. They have cute art up of the Goonies, Marty McFly etc. (they have named the burgers after movie references). They also have a nice outdoor seating area at the front of you have a pup with you. We got the Maverick burger and shared. The edges of the smash burger were crispy but it wasn't dry. It was juicy and flavored very well, not over salty. The sweet potato fries were fresh and cooked to perfection, they weren't undercooked or greasy, but that maple aioli that comes with is *chefs kiss! When we pass through Smithfield we will definitely be coming back.

Let's talk about @barleyandburgersmashed. I had to be rolled out of there y'all. I was so full! I had to try everything I could. The pretzels were perfect and I just wanted to shotgun the cheese. My burger was also (the maverick) for when you go and order @oldnorthstatefoodhall #yelp #yelpelite #yelptriangle #foodcoma

I saw a sign on the highway for this restaurant and was in the mood for a good burger so I figured I would give it a try. I got a double Smashburger with cheese was very good quality and cooked perfectly. The bun was definitely higher quality as well. I don't know what kind of bun it was, but it was not a normal bun from most hamburger places. Only improvement I would make would be the fries. They were good but the burger far overshadowed the fries.

Great food creative burger ideas giant onion rings. Sweet service and a pretty plain ambiance but it is a burger shop. Still a must try

Date 7-10-24I went in and ordered the All American Burger and I was not Disappointed.The Burger was fresh sweet potato fries were just right not too much brown sugar. Josh the manager is the greatest he made sure the toppings were added and the food was hot. The time was 6:03 Pm.Excuse me for not knowing or Remembering the Cook Guy who made this special burger but he Rock That Thang. You Guys Keep up the Great Work.Also, the young lady at the counter was great to work with as well, all around Great Service Team. KW

This burger really hit the spot! The sweet potato fries were delicious. Prices were high, which is why one less star.
