Smithfields refers to two related businesses in Ashland, Oregon, United States: Smithfields Restaurant and Bar and Smithfields Pub and Pies.[1][2]

Description and history

Smithfields is co-owned by British chef Neil Clooney and Dee Vallentyne.[3][4] The two commissioned artist Sarah F. Burns to create three oil paintings depicting dead animals for the restaurant's interior in 2012.[5]

Smithfields Restaurant and Bar's menu includes Southern cuisine options such as baked beans, brisket, collards, and fried chicken.[3] The farm-to-table restaurant has been described as a "meta mecca" with a "breezy atmosphere, cheery packed bar and local focus",[6] and a "casual steakhouse with thoughtful attention to detail".[7]

Reception

Clooney was named Best Chef for his work at Smithfields by readers of Southern Oregon magazine in 2015.[8]
