Smithfield Chicken and BBQ is a North Carolina chain that's been around for over 30 years. Let's call it what it is. It's definitely a chain. It feels like and chain and acts like a chain. However the staff is very friendly (we are of course in North Carolina) and the menu is very comfort food oriented. But what about the food...
I got the Chicken and BBQ Combo. Which means fried chicken and pulled pork along with a side of baked beans and hush puppies.
Remember how I said that it acted like a chain...we'll it also tastes like a chain too. However it is still southern comfort food and that means it's not all bad. Just not much above average.
The fried chicken was typical for a local fried chicken chain which actually means it's a step above the national chains like KFC. The beans were very typical for this type of restaurant. Tastes like it came out of a can. The hush puppies were just average. However the pulled pork was good. Nice and tender and fresh. There was no sauce on the table...a real let down.
Overall it was an average chain lunch but it had the distinct advantage of being barbecue.
While I would recommend it over a chain hamburger for lunch, I would rather have a local lunch spot for barbecue any day.
