We were driving down 441 last week and remembered the sign at 59 pointing toward Smitty's. We said,…read morewe should go. in my email box this week is my weekly Yelp suggestions and what is at the top? Smitty's! It is a "plate of shrimp" moment of off we go. Smitty's is about a mile up 51 from the biggest truck stop interchange on 85. The building complex is a very cool set of older buildings that look like a barbecue restaurant. There is a giant stack of wood outside so this looks promising. When you go in, seats yourself and someone will be there to serve you right away. The menu is typical barbecue fare with a couple other items too. I ordered the brisket plate, Megan had a chicken fried steak. The brisket was tender and smokey with a little salt and pepper in the seasoning. It was good and meaty. The fries were good as was the okra. The stew was flavorful with tomato and corn. Megan's chicken fried steak was very good. It was beefy and tender and cooked just right. Her potato came with big cups of butter, cheese, and sour cream. And she ate her whole salad. This was a special road trip for use because of the Yelp suggestion. But if we are back in the area again we will defiantly hit them up again.

It looked like a really good bbq place, but I am not sure about the food because we did not eat…read morethere. Just a post (3/12/26) if you are looking for pulled pork or anything like that, call ahead. They only had hamburgers, fried fish type bbq joint food. They were out of anything smoked for a bit of time.

The service was top notch even though this was a buffet. We especially liked the fried chicken, beef tips over rice, fried green tomatoes, fried okra, Brunswick stew, and veggies. We are camping at a nearby state park and may go into back into town Friday night for the seafood they put on the buffet then. If you like country cooking, don't miss this place folks!

So much character at this place with the staff, the setup, and even the building itself. They've have been here a long time... I believe in was told 2nd generation, but I could be wrong. I went here two days in a row while in town to work baseball stuff. So friendly and helpful, just like good southern folks are! The food was fantastic! Flavorful, and all you can eat?!?!?! Yes. Oh, and be sure to get some sweet tea because it's southern sweet. Like I say, "Sweet tea, it ain't sweet if it don't make your teeth sting."

Sorry no pics as I just forgot . Service was excellent and food was good. We had the breakfast plates, one with bacon and one with country ham, eggs, grits and biscuit. Everything was delicious. We had a hard time deciding on the meat, we kinda thought tenderloin but that is something I hesitate on if I am not familiar with that restaurant. Due to that we got a tenderloin biscuit to go, it was delicious!! This was not a chain restaurant, appears to be a family owned and operated and worth the 1 1/2 mile detour to stop here.

It was a little warm inside when we visited, but still an enjoyable experience overall. For the buffet, the food was decent with a good variety. There were many southern-style dishes, a nice salad bar, and lots of desserts to choose from. The fried chicken was great, and it was a nice surprise to see low boil seafood available as well. One thing worth noting is that you're required to put on a disposable glove every time you get a plate at the buffet, which felt like a good step for cleanliness. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service, good comfort food, and a charming atmosphere.
