Taste of Smithfield
Taste of Smithfield is Smithfield Foods’ restaurant and shop on Main Street. Its menu includes country ham and preparations connected with the town’s food traditions.
A meal here can extend a visit to the local-history museum into the present-day food business. Check the current menu and shop hours, keeping the restaurant experience distinct from a factory tour.
Wharf Hill Brewing Company
Wharf Hill Brewing Company occupies an early-twentieth-century building and incorporates architectural elements reused from other historic structures. Beer and pub food provide an informal dining option in the center.
The setting connects a town evening with Smithfield’s built heritage. Check the current menu and tap list; specific beers and dishes can change.
Smithfield Station
Smithfield Station takes the meal to the Pagan River, with seafood and a waterfront setting. It provides a different perspective from the restaurants on Main Street.
Confirm the dining schedule and current menu whether you are staying at the hotel or visiting only for a meal.
Q Daddy's Pitmaster BBQ
Q Daddy’s Pitmaster BBQ is a family business that restored a former Texaco station. The menu centers on pulled pork, brisket, ribs and sides.
Its informal setting adds a smoked-meat option to the town’s dining selection. Check current service times and available dishes before arriving, particularly when planning a meal around another timed visit.
Planning your visit
Taste of Smithfield connects with ham, Wharf Hill with beer, Smithfield Station with the river and Q Daddy’s with barbecue. Use those differences to plan meals rather than repeating the same format.
