It is a diamond in the rough, great place for quick, inexpensive eats. I would have never thought it would have been so good. The eggrolls are the truth (homemade)!

Damn! This place is amazing!
This is an eccentric little hole-in-the-wall off the main strip in Smithfield. By that, I mean it's an old trailer (single-wide) right off the road.
Everything is very straight-forward: hot-dogs, burgers, chicken sandwich, et cetera. Nothing gourmet, vegan, gluten-free, or fancy-schmancy.
The onion rings are ridiculous, and the egg-rolls are an absolute must try.
The food isn't going to blow you away, and it's not going to challenge you, but it is SOLID old-fashioned grill food.
Worth the drive, and a cool experience. Would not suggest it if you are... one of those people that are... real picky and insist everything sucks if because the place is rough around the edges. -

Super excited to go to what Scott Mason called the best hot dog. We came from Knightdale. I had the dog all the way and friends had the cheeseburger and spring rolls. Not a fan of either. Just plain. The chili didn't have much of a taste. Aubrey's in Wendell is so much better. Enjoyed Smithfield though. Nice town.

Went there one time and will never go again, the lady working there was a total a**hole, and apparently has that reputation as I've heard others mention the same. Getting attitude for giving your grill business don't fly with me. Want hotdogs of the same quality ? Go literally anywhere else.

This is one of those hot dog joints that I'd bookmarked quite awhile back, and we finally made it. It is one of a sizable number of hole-in-the-wall, mom an pop restaurants in the Smithfield/Selma area that still serves up great hot dogs, burgers, fried chicken, and pork barbecue, and a few other items as well - Millie's, Chicken Barn, Zack's Char-Grill, White Swan BBQ, Holt Lake, Heidi's, and Dupree's.
Now, Cricket Grill is the quintessential hole-in-the-wall - no inside seating (and only a couple of stone seats outside), a walk up window for ordering, a relatively tight menu, a number of hand written signs (including one that describes what "All The Way" means), and a $1 hot dog with a screaming red wiener and a small splash of chili!
We ordered a Hot Dog, all the way, and a Steak Sandwich, and they were ready in a flash. The hot dog was a very nice Southern chili dog, the only thing off about it was the very small amount of chili. All in all, Millie's hot dog is a bit better, for me anyway.
The Steak Sandwich was the "chuck wagon" type, and while it had good flavor, it was more than a little greasy. If in the area, I'd drop by for a quick HD!
