Where to eat well in Smithfield, Virginia

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.
