Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q

Stopped in to grab a quick bite to eat. The menu isn't too overwhelming. They have your standard run of the mill fast food BBQ spots. The hushpuppies weren't bad, it was just a lot of them. They had a buttery taste to them. I thought the shrimp were ok. A little salty, but possibly because they are fried. I really like their slaw. The beans!!!! I probably should have ordered a double order of beans. They come with chunks of BbQ mixed in. When you dine in at this location, they bring the food to you. I really appreciated it. The waitress so nice! I will definitely come back to this location.

This morning, my husband was singing the Johnny Cash song, Sunday Morning Coming Down. There's a line that talks about "the Sunday smell of someone fryin chicken". So naturally, I needed fried chicken, but I didn't want to do "the fryin". Through a search, he found Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q. The prices are so reasonable for the massive amount of food you get. The HUGE chicken tenders are juicy, they have great flavor and the breading is like Granny's without killing the roof of your mouth. The baked beans actually have a little pulled pork in them and the sauce was fantastic. The hush puppies were golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender and light on the inside. The white coleslaw was the perfect balance of vinegar and sweet, a little mayo, it had no onions or carrots (Yay!) and was fresh and crunchy. The BBQ was pulled and really flavorful, even without extra sauce. They allow you to choose your sides. We had enough leftover for my full dinner tonight and enough to share with our friend. He also loved it and plans to take his son this week. We also got banana pudding to go YUMMY. -You order at the counter but then they bring your food to the table and actually hand it out. They checked on us twice and will refill your drink. They even brought us To Go boxes and wrapped plasticware. -They have a Health score of 98 and they are earning that. The restaurant and bathrooms are VERY clean. -The women's bathroom has a light switch that says TURN ON IF BATHROOM NEEDS SERVICE. That is an ingenious and convenient way for them to monitor. -You know how the people running the cash registers, will stand with their back to the customer, while they stare through to the kitchen? That's pretty common to fast food places. This restaurant has a sign posted for the workers that says TURN AROUND. I love that!-Every person inside was friendly, helpful and efficient. We will definitely go back!

The service was great they were very kind and always checking to see if we were doing ok. As for the food it was worth stopping by to try out. These are some of the biggest chicken tenders I've seen. Unfortunately my brother who got the plate did not like the potato salad and only said that the sweet tea was decent. Other than that it was good and the place was fairly clean for the type of establishment it is.

With the exception of their very good fried chicken and (depending on your preferences) a pretty decent shoestring fry, Smithfield's doesn't excel at anything really. If you are looking strictly for barbecue, there are much better options in Greensboro, such as Stamey's. However, for fast service and convenient locations, Smithfield's is great while you're out and about. Their fried chicken is very popular so I would recommend that. For the kids, their tenders are pretty tasty as well. Their fries are great but the hushpuppies are a little bland which is a real shame for a chicken and barbecue place. Overall, maybe not the best but a fine place to eat, especially if you want to please a group.

I've always love Smithfield's from growing up and was excited when I found out they had one in Greensboro. I do feel like it is a bit expensive for fast food and drinks not included with meals. The chicken is so great and crispy. The sweet tea is perfectly sweet where it's not too sweet like syrup but it's not just tea lol. They're always really nice and fast! They've even gotten a little fancy and started giving reusable bags for food!

It's my go to lunch spot. Anyone from Eastern NC that has moved to this area knows SCNB! It's down east BBQ and is really good. The chicken tenders are unmatched (dip in the red sauce!) Service is hybrid order at the counter but also bring it to you and bring refills. Clean and spacious dining room.

I'm a fan. This is a super consistent dining experience where you always know what you will be getting. I have never had any complaints. In fact the staff usually goes above and beyond and everything is delish. One of the only fast casual places I enjoy

Staff was over the top attentive and pleasant , dined inside and was checked on several times though not necessary. Three different people all assisted in making our dining experience enjoyable. Food was fresh and prepared properly. Good sweet tea.

Having grown up in the Triangle area and having spent considerable time down east, I have a decided preference for eastern NC style BBQ, and this is the real deal. I know a lot of people here in the triad aren't fond of Smithfield's because they grew up on Lexington style BBQ. Eastern style is just a different commodity, and if it's not your cup of sweet tea, that's okay. But for me, it's the epitome of comfort food. Consistency is important with any chain restaurant, and I have eaten at Smithfield's all over the state, from as far east as Havelock to here in Greensboro. At every location, the food is consistently good, the service is consistently friendly and attentive, and the restaurants are meticulously maintained.

Coming by this evening around 7:55 PM on Thursday night and ordered to get some tender chicken sandwich meal which was the baked beans and honor Palmer drink. I was very disappointed when I got home, they gave me only to the small pieces of chicken tender, and the meat wasn't freshly cooked, I'm shock that they are serve something like that to a customer I'm very disappointed.
