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

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