Smithfield Station Waterfront Inn Restaurant

I got the seafood sampler($34) and it came with fried fish, 4 scallops, 3 shrimp, 1 crab cake, and a side of veggies. The fish had a good fried layer while retaining its moistness. The scallops and shrimp were great! Crab cake had good seasoning and fairly good amount of crab meat. The hush puppies were a bit of a letdown, they were quite dry. Overall the seafood aspect of the dish was quite good, the staff were friendly. I would come back.Food(50%): 8.2Staff/service(25%): 7.3Value(25%):7.0Overall: 7.7/10

Came for Sunday lunch with a group of friends. We got there early afternoon so it wasn't too crowded. We were seated quickly and the service was good. A few of us got the restaurant week specials. I got the crab cake eggroll, miso salmon and bread pudding. The egg roll had fresh crab meat in it. The salmon was cooked great and a nice portion. The bread pudding was yummy, I took it to go. I also tried one of their cocktails which was tasty. Definitely want to go back for their Sunday brunch buffet.

I visited Smithfield Station for lunch on a Monday afternoon with my family. We chose to sit outside, where the atmosphere was lovely and peaceful. The menu offered a fantastic variety of options, making it hard to choose just one dish. Fortunately, our server, Juliana, was incredibly helpful in recommending the most popular and flavorful choices.We started with the shrimp hush puppies, which exceeded our expectations. The subtle kick from the jalapeños paired beautifully with the sweet butter they were served with. For my meal, I ordered the crab soup and Oyster Rockefeller. The crab soup was the best I've ever had--rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of crab. The Oyster Rockefeller was phenomenal, prepared with a luscious blend of cream, spinach, and cheese that elevated the dish to a new level.My husband chose the calabash shrimp with fries and hush puppies, and he thoroughly enjoyed the seasoning and how well the shrimp were cooked. Our son had a cheeseburger with fries, which he liked, especially the pickle spear that accompanied it.

Charming restaurant with great staff and wonderful food. We've eaten the several times and have always left satisfied and just plain happy.

Wow! I have heard people say how good this place is, but have never gone. We stumbled up on it when the place we were going was too crowded. We were not disappointed!The atmosphere is very inviting when you walk in. It is a beautiful restaurant! There is seating outside that is right behind the boat docks. Next time we will eat outside. Kaitlyn was an amazing server. She was super friendly and very attentive. The food was amazing. I wish I'd gotten pics, but didn't. My husband had the broiled seafood platter. He said it was really good. It was a little pricey, and to add a salad in place of a veggie was $4.95, which is a bit much. The salad was pretty big and very fresh though. I had the chicken tender basket with fries and slaw. I couldn't even eat half of it! The chicken was so tender, and lightly breaded. Probably the best tenders I have had. The fries were a little soggy, having been served under the tenders, but they were lightly breaded and good. The honey mustard and ranch were great! Coleslaw was very tasty!The menu is almost all seafood, which I do not care for, but they do have steaks and salads. Next time I will try the hamburger. I'm sure it will be good!

Beautiful location and overall nice restaurant. It sits on the water and is attached to an inn. There is a parking lot right there and additional parking across the street. Once we were seated, our service was a little slow. It got better but still wasn't great. The restaurant is spacious and I can imagine it being a great experience with warm weather, sitting outside on the water. There is also a bar area with a few televisions. We started with the hush puppies as the appetizer and they were good! I had a Pain Killer on the rocks and it was strong! Very generous with the alcohol. I had the seafood quesadilla and my husband had the Royal Crowned Shrimp. My quesadilla was good but kinda lacked flavor. The Royal Crowned Shrimp is VERY heavily breaded. Like ALOT! My husband actually took all of the breading off. Will we go back, YEP! The menu is pretty extensive so there were definitely some other items I would like to try. There is a heavy seafood focus but there is also something for everyone.

First off, service was good. 8/10 Ambiance for dinner was giving Luby's cafeteria. Somewhere your grandmother would take u for your 12th Birthday. 3/10The food, sooo many things.....platting was non existent. I had a Ribeye (looked like it was bought from Walmart) with a cup of butter beans put on a plate. It looked tired, no excitement. My wife got a seafood platter (deep fried), it was super soft and spongy. So bad she couldn't eat it. Drinks we had were good. Very heavy handed. I think it was the only thing that kept the food from being a 0/10. 1/10Once we left we went right to McDonald's. I've never eaten somewhere that was so bad I had to go get fast food afterwards. After saying all that I will say the outdoor seating looked amazing. Very picturesque. They do Brunch and I might go back to sit on the back deck to enjoy a mimosa- but will not be eating any of the food that tasted like it was prepared by a tired sweaty Denny's line cook.

Great place to seat on the deck have a cocktail, lunch,dinner. They also have Sunday brunch.

The crab soup obviously had alot of crab meat and was tasty. It was a little on the cool side but still goodThe hushpuppies were piping hot had a hint of shrimp flavor but nice kick from jalapeño and the inside was pillowy soft. The cowboy ribeye had a kick of beat I wasn't expecting. I liked it and the steak was cooked properly and nice and tender. The desserts were good as well. The key lime was a little more tart than I prefer but I still enjoyed it

Way too pricey, too classy for the ordinary folks. Always seating available. Nothing else to say.
