Taste of Smithfield

The chicken salad sandwich was really good. My friend had smothered chicken and thought it could have more flavor. Another person had the Nathan's hotdogs and they had a lot of toppings on the side which was nice.The service was really sweet and attentive. Parking was around back but still packed. Nice restaurant atmosphere they had separate back area for events.

The food was nice but such tiny portions. 4 slices of tomato for something like $11. Staff were very nice and it's a nice space.

We returned to Taste of Smithfield, and it continues to be a favorite of ours in Smithfield. See new photos for more dishes!

Smithfield in general is a very cute little town! I can't believe that I've never driven the hour to get here before. We opted to try this restaurant because it was conveniently located and we were starving. We were seated right away and service was good. The gal helping us seemed new, but she was very nice and did provide good service.Food-wise, the only thing that was better than mediocre was the fried green tomato appetizer. It was delicious. We also did enjoy the pigtail fries, but all of our entrees were very basic. The reuben was served on cold, barely toasted bread and had very little sauce. I got a side salad with it and the tomatoes that were "balsamic-soaked" were overwhelmingly sour and ruined the rest of the salad. Overall, not a bad stop if you just want something quick and easy, but I wouldn't necessarily come back for a great meal.

Nice restaurant, dinning room Has a warm comfortable decor Small out door seating area, and bar area inside, Nice menu featuring pork but other options available, food was delicious Very friendly service. Also there is a small gift shop insideWorth the visit

First time visiting, as I've been back and forth to Smithfield over the years. While the food was delicious, the wait staff ruined the entire experience. It took 10 minutes for anyone to even LOOK over at the door. Then another five to be seated. No greeting what so ever. Just "do you need high chairs?" For our children. Waited another 15 minutes for them to play tag, and figure out who would take our order. Watched the manager leave the restaurant and go home for the night. Thankfully, the young man that waited on us, actually put effort in. I've worked in the restaurant business...and the lack of kindness and care with this staff, would be enough to turn the restaurant into a ghost town, where it would be ultimately closed. Don't bother.

The Bologna sandwich was beyond belief. Also enjoyed the pulled pork. Always nice to cruise through all the peanuts as well

One of our favorite places to dine in the downtown area. The food is amazing, especially enjoy the veggie burgers and Brussels sprouts made with Smithfield bacon. Great place for lunch and shopping in Smithfield area. The little shop has some great selections for taking home some snacks or as gifts for visitors to the area. Highly recommended.

Food is delicious, a bit pricey, friendly staff, always knick knacks to purchase. A must try.

Food was very good. They have a small area with products to buy like chocolate covered bacon etc. The ham biscuits were different as it was on sweet potato biscuits. Nice taste. The fried green tomatoes was one of the best versions I ever had. The crust was light, the green tomato slice was the right thickness and had a perfect amount of acidity. The pimento cheese paired well with it as well. The salad was excellent. Was fresh and very tasty. The carnitas didn't disappoint either. Juicy, flavorful. A 3rd taco would've been nice.
