Laura’s And Grill - Smithfield

I originally ordered the dill pickle burger. It came tasting like propane. The waitress came to ask how everything was. I told her I couldn’t eat it because it tastes like propane. She said “I’m so sorry! Let me take it away. Can I get you anything else.”That response-quick, genuinely concerned, and ready to help- left an impression.I ordered nachos, and they were MASSIVE and delicous for only $12!The mocktails was $10, and it was essentially a fancy lemonade, so that wasn’t worth $10, but the nachos made up for the over-expense.Then, the cake came. Wow! I almost ordered the cheesecake, which is the newest addition to the menu, but I’m glad I got this instead. I am truly floored at how delicious it was, and would come back for it! It’s a layers of banana bread and strawberry cake, with a homemade buttercream frosting, strawberry cookie crumbles, and strawberry jam. That sounded like it could be amazing or awful. It is AMAZING. My camera cannot do it Justice! I only wish I had gotten a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream with it. It is SO good: the kind of good that when someone asks about your favorite dessert ever, this will at least make the top 10.It was insanely crowded, and I had trouble getting in because I couldn’t figure out where the ramp was (it’s around the “back” from where you enter on the road.I also didn’t see any handicapped parking, but it likely was only marked on the spot itself and was taken.Everyone was super friendly, attentive, and kind. Wheelchair accessibility: You have to park around back or you won’t be able to get in. The ramp is out back.

One of the best places in Smithfield to eat. The manager is very accommodating and friendly (Erica I think) … our waitress Julia was very attentive, very helpful and very considerate in terms of what we needed for food and drinks. If you want a great place to eat, watch games and have a great staff … this is the place!!!

The proportions of food were way too big. Actually disgusting. No eonder there is such an obesity problem in America.The pear and pecan salad was not great. The pear slices were hard as rock. The marinated onions were doused in vinegar. Hard to swallow. The rasp vinegrette was sour.On the good side, the service by the young people who waited on us was outstanding!

The salmon was delicious, and the coconut lime margarita ? was on point. Would go back, only issue I'd they fry everything in the same oil. Since I have a shell fish allergy, it made my selection limited.

Service is amazing. Super attentive servers. I did find random hair all around my food (not in) and inside of my cup. I did not bring this to their attention since I’m not the confrontational type. Food was okay, I think a bit on the over hyped side.
