Shrimp and grits were pretty good. Pork belly made it even better.
Service was good, but it did take a long time to get food.

The food and the atmosphere were great. The candied bacon was exceptionally delicious. The restaurant was very busy and only thing wrong was the bill was separated incorrectly. Other than that snafu, I would highly recommend it.

This is a great cafe featuring various samplings of Smithfield food items. My husband got the Cuban panini and he said the roasted pork was slow cooked and crisped to perfection. I got a grilled cheese with an add on of bacon and fried green tomatoes and it was amazing! We both got their fire roasted apples and it was perfect accompaniment to our pork laden sandwiches. This is definitely a popular place with the locals and tourists and it is easy to see why. The food is great, staff was friendly, and the atmosphere is like a step back in time.

Really enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich and sweet potato fries. Husband really liked the Reuben sandwich. Not overly seasoned. Service was good too. Has a shop where you can purchase some of the Smithfield products and Virginia peanut products.

I stopped in today for lunch with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. It's a local hotspot for food so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Everybody had something different in everyone enjoyed their food. Our waitress was Maggie and she was very delightful, efficient and good with the kids. Kids. We will definitely come here again and recommend this place to everyone.

This was not my first visit and it won't be my last. I have had breakfast and lunch here a few times. Pork. If that's in your vocabulary you'll like Taste of Smithfield. The club sandwich with Smithfield ham became on of my favorites today. Excellent service and atmosphere, I highly recommend it.

Taste of Smithfield is the genuine article—so dependable over the years that I am amazed I haven’t reviewed it before. How many restaurants nowadays actually make all their own dishes from scratch? And always successfully?
The Coronavirus has reshaped Taste of Smithfield: it was always scrupulously clean and shiny, but now it is scrupulously socially distanced as well, so the racks of gifts and nuts and things are no longer edging their way through the dining areas. The building was always a spacious one, and I find the restored vistas refreshing. Real restaurants suffer when they are part

Stopped on my way back home. Extremely delicious food. Will be back with my family despite it being an hour away.
Adding to this review since I can’t post another. I took the family this last week and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic!
