We have been looking for good barbecue since we moved back to the Piedmont from the NC Coast which is the land of Eastern NC Barbecue and a number of wonderful barbecue places. While Smiley's is not Eastern NC barbecue, it is moist with a wonderful smokey flavor. It is moist without being wet and the sauce or dip as they call it has no ketchup in it thankfully. I have eaten at most of the barbecue restaurants on the NC Barbecue Trail. Smiley's is as good or better than many of them. I think it is better than some of the famous ones. The place does not look like much from the outside but inside it is very clean and well maintained with a high sanitation rating The service is excellent and we felt like members of the family by the time we left. I had the chopped plate. I brought home half of it. The peppery slaw is very good as are the fries and the fried okra. The hot-from-the-fryer hush puppies were great. We will be going back and hauling some home to serve to friends. I am pleased Smiley's is only 25 minutes from my house. If you take the time to look, you will see the pile of wood by their smoker. I was also pleased to see they serve Pepsi products with their barbecue which is as it should be in North Carolina.
The bbq and slaw were tasty. The hush puppies were great. The server acted like she didn’t want to be there which is why they lose a star.
This is an excellent example of Lexington NC style BBQ. The restaurant looks small but packs a punch. Once again I want to reiterate how good the bbq is. Not to mention the red slaw and the hush puppies. I would love to write more but it's 11:45 am and I've worked up an appetite writing this review plus I've got a 90 minute drive to get to Smiley's. If you're smart you'll meet me there.
