smithfield inn

great experience. the she-crab soup here is really creamy and full of chunks of crab meat. i'd never had she-crab soup ever, but smithfield inn has made me a fan. the pork belly spring rolls are agreatappetizer too and the carolina mopping sauce goes very well with them. the onion rings may be the best i've ever had anywhere. the onion inside was so fresh and crispy and perfectly breaded. the truffled french fries were unique and made me wonder why all french fries aren't done this way. i completely recommend the turkey monte cristo. i went here for lunch recently and sat underneath the covered seating area outside so i could watch and listen to the thunderstorms. my party was the only one sitting outside and the inn was even setting up for an outside event later so it was nice of them to oblige my request to sit outside. john was an excellent waiter. i can't wait to go back and try some other things on the menu.

went to dinner friday night for the first time at the smithfield inn.greatexperience. the wife and i both had a hankering for a burger, and with the recommendation from several friends... burgers it is. started off with their crab dip and homemade pita crisps, awesome. we tried the "big inn" and the "inn house", both were excellent. we liked the atmosphere and the service was solid. give them a try, we'll be back for some of the other southern cooking choices.

nicki has got that place ingreatshape! with john at the bar you can't lose! the food rivals norfolk and the beach. if you haven't been, your taste buds will thank you once you have! try the red couch for agreatdining experience and get a room upstairs for the perfect romantic evening.

the inn is lovely. the main dining area could stand to be updated. there is a difference between old charm and needing a fresh coat of paint. the smaller dining area is wonderful- we had a bridal shower there and the inn did agreatjob. the food has never let me down.greatplace to grab lunch while exploring smithfield!

the place to eat in smithfield. this place is the perfect combination;greatfood,greatstaff, andgreatatmosphere. it has the small town/tourist town balance down perfectly and they are even kid friendly. i enjoy the lobster mac n cheese, and the croque american sandwich. i love coming here with my kids because i order the fish n chips for them. after my kids eat about half the fish n chips i get to eat the rest! honestly the kids fish n chips is better than most restaurants fish n chips. they use fresh ingredients and season it properly. if you are coming to smithfield, this is the place to go eat.

i enjoyed my visit to the smitfield inn, this place hasgreatambiance and very good service. i tried their crab cake w/fried green tomatoes. the crab cake was pretty good with a fair amount of meat but awesome fried green tomatoes. i also tried their she crab soup which i found quite tasty. this is agreatplace for a nice lunch or dinner if you are in downtown smithfield. they are also known for their ham biscuits. there is a nice bar inside and plenty of parking across the street.

great place. the inn is awesome. i really enjoy the pub menu. i love the club sandwich. service is always friendly. the smithfield inn is classic yet casual. agreatplace to relax and have a nice time with friends. the food is always good.

this was agreatlunch. the old part of smithfield hasgreatcharm and the food here added greatly to the experience.

everything was very tasty and satisfying. the she-crab soup was rich and was full of crab meat. my wife's chicken salad was, she declared, the best she'd ever had.

my brunswick stew was exceptional - sweet from the tomatoes and packed with chicken and vegetables. the ham biscuits on yeast rolls were heavenly with thinly-shaved smithfield country ham.

smithfield inn is definitely worth the stop.

go!. excellent. perfectly fried oysters for an appetizer and agreatcrabcake for an entree. best seafood meal i've had in years.

the table next to us was having crawfish on fried green tomatoes as well as ham biscuits. they looked wonderful.

revamped in a big way!. the inn just re-opened last week and has a fabulous new look and delicious menu items. had a fried green tomato blt with sweet potato fries....yum. we sat on the casual side on the patio -greatatmosphere.

had thanksgiving dinner here. it was very historic. the food was very good. they offered turkey, smoked pork loin and prime rib. our party tried them all and all were great. the crab cake was delicious. the bread pudding made a fine end to agreatmeal.
