Went by here yesterday on my last day in town for work, had tried one other time but the wait was to long. I see why it was, the filet I ordered was cooked perfect. It came with asparagus and mashed potatoes , service with the bartender on this Monday evening was excellent. Definitely recommend the place, nice views, casual environment.

Well we finally made it. We took the day off from work for a day date and we were so glad we did. Instead of individual plates we got three appetizers and finished it with a delicious hot fudge cake. The oyster Rockefeller were delicious with a splash of hot sauce. Gotta have hot sauce. The crab dip had the best pita chips. Our last appetizer was the the teriyaki tuna bites with the pita chips. The tuna was cooked to perfection. Couldn't have asked for a better lunch. The hot fudge cake was so delicious. It had the best hot fudge sauce. We both agreed we would drive the hour drive from our house just to get the hot fudge cake. And being able to enjoy this meal while sitting outside enjoying the cool breeze and water view made the afternoon perfect.

GREAT FOOD. I had the burger here and it was tender and delicious. Beef was medium well just how I liked it and the fries are done to perfection.

I loved this place for it's atmosphere, food and excellent service. There were only seven other patrons at the time I was there in the late afternoon. I spoke with one couple and there and they said they were very pleased with their meal. The restaurant is a very large part of the Smithfield Station Hotel and you can walk from one to the other on a wraparound outside porch. The porch around the restaurant has tables and chairs so you can enjoy the view of boats coming and going on the Pagan River while enjoying your meal or just drinks.

I took my mother here for a birthday lunch on 9/27/24. I have visited Smithfield Station once before, but it was back in 2013. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent! My mother and I had fish and chips, and I had a burger and fries. In addition, we ordered onion rings as an appetizer. I wish the fish were bigger, but it was still good.

The food was amazing as always. We've been going to the Sunday Brunch at least 4 times a year. I decided to take Hubby for Father's Day. We arrived around 9am , without reservations, the hostess accommodated us. The food was great and the service was wonderful. We've been to several Sunday Brunches in the 757. Smithfield Station has never disappointed. Thank you for another great memory.

I haven't dined here in years, but I remember loving it and last night I loved it again! The cocktails were on point. We dined at the bar instead of waiting an hour for a two seater table. I believe the restaurant was busy from the wine festival that ended a few hours before we arrived. Nevertheless, the two bartenders held it down! Our meals were filling and delicious. I had the broiled seafood platter half portion and my husbae had the blackened salmon and shrimp. We shared the bourbon bread pudding for dessert. After just under 200 later we were throughly pleased! Oh he had the oysters for an app and I had the boom boom shrimp. While he enjoyed every Oyster and I thought the shrimp lacked flavor even though I ate the majority of them. But all in all 10/10 I'd recommend. I'm looking forward trying other entrees sooner than later.
