After spending a brief time at the Port Hood Day Park enjoying the nice views of the water and Port Hood Island on a sunny Sunday morning, we decided to stop off for a light breakfast at Sandeannie's Bakery & Tea Room (formerly Greco Pizza Donair Xpress). The place was very busy when we arrived here with a mix of locals and tourists. The place is not fancy which consists of a cozy dining room with self serve table seating and order counter. There are also bakery goods & breads (in clear plastic bags)for sale on the shelf including rolls, biscuits, scones, cookies, muffins, and oatcakes. The breakfast menu (served all day) includes a variety of egg dishes, breakfast sandwiches, French toast, breakfast sides, cinnamon rolls, and other baked goods. The lunch menu (from 11AM) includes sandwiches, burgers, salads, soup, chili, seafood chowder or lobster bisk, seafood, fish cakes, and all beef meat pie. For dessert, they also offer Deep Fried Mars Bar and Deep Fried Ice Cream. The prices here seem reasonable, most entrees $6.00-$9.95 and seafood dishes $8.50-$12.95. They also offer a kids menu and specials too. This is how it works here. They have restaurant menus you can look at, but you have to order your food and drink at the register & pay first, then your order is brought out to your table. The coffee and tea is also self serve. For breakfast, we ordered 2 coffees, a cinnamon roll, and a classic breakfast with two eggs (scrambled) with fish cakes, home fries, homemade toast, oat mash, and orange slice garnish. The brewed coffee was good and refillls were self serve. The cinnamon roll was okay, which was served warm and slightly dry inside, and not the frosted icing kind we're accustomed to enjoying. As for the classic breakfast, the scrambled eggs were soft, the homemade bread was toasted crisp and lightly buttered. The soft grilled fish cakes had a slightly pungent odor, otherwise tasted just fine served with chow. The very modest portion of home fries were fresh cut potatoes lightly grilled and lightly oily outside. The "oat mash/porridge" was very dense and quite good. In all, breakfast here was good, but not wow. As we were finishing up and getting ready to head out on the road again, the very high pitched smoke detector went off over the register area near the kitchen. The owner was using a serving tray to try to fan the heat under the smoke detector. "A small lesson in fire safety" remarked another customer. FREE WIFI with password

A quick review of a quick lunch stop. My lobster roll, with lettuce, a few sprouts, and mayo on a…read morebrioche bun, toasted with garlic butter, was decent. (I'm not one of those purists that think a lobster roll should be just lobster meat on a roll; that's boring.) An adequate amount of lobster, mostly large chunks not shreds, but too much mayonnaise. Pretty expensive though at $32 including fries and coleslaw but I've seen worse. Not exactly traditional with lobster roll but I'm on a poutine kick so I upgraded the fries to poutine for an additional $4. I've had better and I've also had worse. The fries, with skins, seemed freshly made in house, the gravy ok, but a bit skimpy on the cheese curds and the pieces were too small. The coleslaw was very good, but why was the portion so skimpy? The wife's chicken sandwich (buttermilk fried chicken thigh, toasted brioche, honey hot drizzle, dill pickle slaw, mayo) was outstanding. I was thrilled to see that an excellent local cider, Rebel Rose from Island Folk in Sydney, was available, so of course I had one of those. Menu is pretty small but in addition to the sandwiches, "pub fare", and a few seafood items there are a small number of entrees (served after 4:00 PM), and some interesting appetizers and desserts. They host occasional music events (Celtic, folk, etc.) so this should be a pleasant place to spend an evening.

The chips and fries are contaminated and I wasn't offered a replacement so I just skipped them. The burger was tasty, but tiny for the price. If you have a sesame allergy, the gf bun has sesame seeds. I asked for no mayo but it came on it anyway. I scraped it off. I was super grateful they took us late at night (20 mins before closing) and it had nice ambiance either way live music. My bf loved his meal. Unfortunately, it's just not a good option for me. I am rating this more based on my boyfriend's experience than mine.

I did not ask for actual pricing but thought it must be very special. Instead I was served a lobster that was likely not even one pound with very little meat in the tail. I got a large serving of fries and a tiny cup of slaw. Dessert was a very good cake and included. When I finished, the server asked how was the meal. I said the lobster was small. She laughed and stated "they just grab them out of the tank so you never know." Surprise! I was stunned to be presented with a bill for $96 CanadIan! I had only water for my beverage. I don't believe this is an isolated occurrence as the cashier also seemed aware of this issue and would not meet my gaze and just nodded when I complained.

The girl said we would have to wait for our server and ask her. Okay, no big deal, but then I over heard the same thing happen to two other tables that got seated after us. Just give us the water!! Menu wise, I found it very confusing, and extremely over priced. I have noticed a few of their entrée's did not come with a side, and to add on French fries it was $5.50, WOW! My dad wasn't happy about the $2.00 charge for gravy, but $5.50 for a side of fries is just insane. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich, which was very tasty, but had so much sauce my bun was very soft and difficult to eat. Overall I was not very impressed with Smitty's. I'd choose another place before going back there again.

We ordered fish and chips with a switch to fries, were told there'd be no extra charge, yet later found a $4 fee on our $115 bill. The food didn't redeem the experience -- the fish batter was burnt, and the meal arrived barely warm. We were hungry and in a rush, so we ate it, but it wasn't worth it. Overall, the place was too busy, the quality was poor, and the value wasn't there. I wouldn't return unless they offered a full complimentary meal to make up for the experience.

Stopping in for lunch, I went with their soup and half sandwich. For the soup, I got the daily special, hamburger, and tacked on a turkey sandwich. Oddly, for the sandwich they asked if I wanted lettuce, salt or pepper...and that was it. I guess Gram is staunchly against tomatoes! The sandwich was decent - chunks of actual roasted turkey breast, not sad, slimey slices. It was a bit more minimalist than I'd like, but the good meat and fresh, house-made bread definitely elevated it. The hamburger soup was rich and hearty, with a peppery bite. On a return visit, I was there during breakfast hours. They don't actually have a proper breakfast menu, but I grabbed a glazed cinnamon roll and a coffee. The cinnamon roll was very good - fluffy and fresh, with the added decadence of the icing. The coffee was...what you might expect from an old school bakery in a small town, but it was hot and cheap, so I can't complain.
