We had a 2:45 reservation for 11 on Mother's Day and Smithfield station was able to seat us at our reservation time. The food was plentiful and delicious for the price and the overall setting was beautiful. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone!

Mother’s Day weekend I made a reservation online, was given a confirmation and kept receiving reminders of the reservation… only to get to the restaurant for them to tell me that they don’t use online reservations anymore and that we were not on the list for dining. My Mother’s Day was ruined because they failed to remove the reservation option from their website or place a notice stating the same. Thanks Smithfield station for ruining my Mother’s Day 2025.
Smithfield StationResponded on May 17, 2025
Hi Marcie, we are truly sorry to hear about the mix-up with your reservation on such an important day. This is certainly not the standard of service we strive to uphold, and we completely understand how disappointing it must have been for you and your family. Your feedback is invaluable as we work to resolve these issues. Please reach out at cliff.hall[at]smithfieldstation. com so that we can better address this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to hear from you soon.

One of our favorite places. Just a great place to go. Bar service was also the best. Mimosa Flights to start with, then Bacon Wrapped Scollops. It does not get any better.

Thank you for visiting us and sharing your kind words, Harold. We’re glad to hear that our bar service and Mimosa Flights made a great start to your experience. The Bacon Wrapped Scallops are indeed a favorite, and it’s wonderful to know they added to your enjoyment of the evening. Thanks again and we hope to see you back next time!

The hostess was very rude and nonaccomodating. Because we had no reservation, we were told we had to sit outside, which was fine. I was then able to make a reservation online but the staff would not accept the reservation. I was asked if I wanted to sit in the sun, I said no. A family then arrived who had a reservation but stated, they would sit in the sun outside. I asked if my family could have the table set aside for that reservation and was again told no, which I could not understand. It was very busy since it was Mother's Day so the restaurant kept running out of plates. The lines were so long, could not go back for seconds so really do not feel I got our money's worth. Was my first time there, a very disappointing experience. On a positive note, the food was good.
Smithfield StationResponded on May 15, 2025
Hi Cheronda, we're truly sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with our hostess and the reservation situation on Mother's Day. It’s unfortunate that this overshadowed what could have been a lovely experience for you, especially given that you enjoyed the food. Your feedback is crucial in helping us improve our service and ensure better communication in the future. If you could reach out to us at cliff.hall[at]smithfieldstation. com, we would greatly appreciate any additional details you'd like to share. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to hear from you soon.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary and the food, service and experience were amazing! They reserved my wife and I a private table in the corner of the restaurant. This was our first time dining here. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, she had their orange crush and I had their cranberry mule that were very good. The atmosphere was very beautiful. One of the best experiences that we had was our waiter and the host right when you walk in the restaurant. Our waiters name was Noah if I recall and he was outstanding! He was professional, respectful, his timing was perfect and our food come out in a timely fashion. My wife had their ribeye steak with grilled shrimp and I had their calabash flounder and let me tell you it was excellent! If you are looking for a romantic, quiet, one on one conversation with you significant other or family Smithfield Station is it! Also, they sat us right now to their indoor fireplace which was very romantic, homey and made us feel even more comfortable. All of their staff their were extremely friendly and it was just the perfect date night that my wife and I were looking for. I wanted to thank the staff and owners of Smithfield Station for making my wife and I’s anniversary date night so special! We will return for sure!

Thank you for choosing us to celebrate this special occasion; we can’t wait to welcome you back again soon! Yours in hospitality, Smithfield Station

Whelp, I wanted to try this place and I really wanted to like it considering where it’s situated and the reviews I had seen. It failed me. The food was a solid no. My wife and I shared a pecan and pear salad. The pear was so hard I couldn’t cut through it. I had the Chilean sea bass and shrimp special and my wife had the crab cakes entree. The only thing special about my Chilean sea bass was how cold the meat was when it finally came out. The fish was overloaded with sauce and I found at least four pieces of shrimp shell that were not removed. The crab cakes were lukewarm and apparently were voted best in the area, but I can tell you that’s not what we received. I recently purchased some from Wegman’s and they were 10x better than what we paid $34 for at Smithfield Station. The restaurant had seated a 20-person table right before us which caused major delays on dinner coming out. The waitress did a great job letting us know this after we had ordered and waited a bit. If the restaurant knows a group this size is coming, they need to be more prepared. Overall, just a flop of a dining experience.
