Everything about our experience eating here falls into the category of "perfectly fine but nothing exceptional." That describes the atmosphere (rather generic), the service (adequate, no more, no less), and the food. I ordered the fried shrimp basket and my partner got a cheeseburger. No specific reason to make a point of coming back AND absolutely no reason to avoid coming back when the opportunity presents itself. read more

I love the food, service, prices and the thrift store that is a part of the restaurant. Plus they have daily specials. I have never been disappointed in a meal I've gotten there. read more

There crab cakes are very good, also chicken &beef dumplings both good! Services are nice too

All the rumors are true kids!! If you need proof of that, they've recently expanded the dining space into an adjacent store unit. Great home style cooking in a thrift store! read more

Now, this SCORE is hiding in the Teen Challenge thrift store!! I can't believe out of all places in the world this great restaurant is located in a thrift shop and I'm so happy I got let in on the secret of Seaford, Delaware. I'm always starving for seafood, especially crabcakes. And whenever I'm on the east coast I already have my mind made up to find a new great place. I'm used to Maryland style crabcakes but today it's a different kind of treat. They were fried with crust on the outside but had no bread fillings. It was pure crab meat and straight delicious. That came with 2 pickable sides being asparagus and baked cinnamon apples. Today I ordered the soup on special which was Cream of Crab and I've never had that before but became my #1 of soups. It's that flavorful and just scrumptious. The delightful, yummy strawberry crème pretzel desert is the highlight of my meal today. I was very lucky to get to take a nibble off the Special of day being Stuffed Shrimp with 2 sides being Mac n cheese and beets. This delectable is 4 jumbo shrimp baked with pure crab casserole. Between the awesome hospitality service that Patty gave and the delicious home cooked food I can see why this place gets packed. There is a 2nd overflow renovation room. It's very nice here and not to mention the fresh salad bar I seen on the way in. I just can't say enough about this fabulous restaurant and highly would recommend it. I'm for sure coming back again. read more

By now if you read the reviews this is in Teen Challenge thrift store (great group). This is were locals go and a lot of homemade food. We stopped by for lunch. It was busy but we were seated right away. Waitress was there right away. They have a good size menu and a large amount of specials on the white board. We ordered homemade crab soup,butterfly shrimp ,fries . The crab soup was different not creamy like what I'm used to. It was fair to good and I would order it again. The shrimp was out of the box frozen blah won't get that again. The fries were barely ok. Next order was the chicken and dumplings, salad and coleslaw. The dumplings are made in house, so tender they melted in your mouth but the gravy was a bit watery. I would get this again but a thicker gravy would have been awesome. They have a salad bar but our waitress got us a salad and it had plenty of ingredients in it and the blue cheese dressing was good. The coleslaw had to much of something in it. I couldn't tell what but I think pickle juice. It was fair but my taste buds were fighting the urge to pucker. Lunch was around $31 mainly due to $5 for soup and $6 for the cherry cheesecake. Definitely going back . I say give it a try. read more

Used to be good, but recent orders have had problems. Overcooked vegetables, mistakes in the orders, or items not prepared as described. Soggy fried chicken. read more

If you're in the area, and want something cost efficient and quick, this place will do the trick. The chicken croquettes are fantastic.

Started with pretzel salad, to die for. And it just got better from there. Felt like I was talking with my mother. It was a good feeling. read more

Smith's Café - Pretzel salad - Salad Near Me - Seaford, Delaware

Have you ever eaten in a cafe in the middle of a thrift store? yep. Smith's is down home good eating . Its old school comfort food. Today's lunch $7.95 for a Reuben with sauerkraut, bag of chips, and a cup of " stuffed pepper soup " and of course the pickle. You get your choice of soups which today happens to be dry lima, peas and dumplings, or stuffed pepper soup. The prices are the best. They are known for the peas and dumplings soup, beef and dumplings, and chicken and dumplings. But I don't like dumplings whether flat or fluffy! Breakfast is awesome here. Tell me where you can go for $4.70 and get a blueberry pancake, one egg, and one meat? Even better the breakfast specials on "special" board come with coffee . They call that a 1-1-1 ... and yes it sounds like trucker CB radio talk Breaker..Breaker..1 1 1! This is the best restaurant in Seaford and "yes" it happens to be in a thrift store. I used to eat at Smiths many years ago by the Georgetown Circle and I'm a long time fan! The Smith Island cakes are Devine! Buttery mile hike cake. I know it sounds dangerous eating in a thrift store but trust me on this one and you will be writing a 5 star "yelp" review . I'm just saying.... every review on yelp is 5 stars. Tuesday- bring your military ID 10% off Thursday- free dessert when you order off special board. Wednesday- senior discount 10 %off read more

What an unexpected and joyful find! Like others, I couldn't believe that this restaurant was located INSIDE a thrift shop (my grandmother would have loved this place!), but it was remarkably good. Better than the Cracker Barrel. The waitress was friendly and delightful. The menu had a nice variety (but not TOO much). I had the country fried steak and it was tender and perfect. Overall, just a great experience. Skip the chain restaurants and stop here. You won't be disappointed. Thanks for a great dinner and a great memory. read more

Weird location but SO worth it! Got the crabcake and coleslaw - definitely didn't disappoint. My daughter ordered the roast beef and gravy with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese - she said it was all amazing! My husband ordered the turkey & dressing...it was real turkey and the dressing was the bomb! read more

Amazing variety and generous portions! The cafe is joined to the Teen Challenge Thrift Store right on US 13 In Seaford. Attentive waitress and delicious biscuits brought to table. Comfortable casual atmosphere. read more

It would be easy so miss because it is inside of the Teen Challenge bldg. I've eaten there on Thanksgiving and it was nice. We love breakfast there. All the food is like homemade, and it's just a good place to go. It is always a good option. read more

Great homemade food and generous portions. I did not try their desserts because I'm in "sugar recovery" (ha) but they looked amazing. Menu has a very large selection of dishes. I will say that it's weird you have to enter a thrift store to get to the restaurant, but I suppose it adds to the charm. read more

I was hoping to enjoy the food at a local cafe. You don't expect much because it's attached to a thrift store and you enter through the musty smelling store to enter the restaurant. I did like the waitress she was friendly and attentive. The food on the other hand was less than desirable. I ordered the liver and onions with mashed potatoes and green beans. The liver was extremely dry and lacked flavor the gravy was obviously from a package and the onions were hardly cooked. The mashed potatoes were ok but tasted like they may have been made with powdered milk. The green beans were the tastiest vegetables I have ever tasted, they were mushy and tasted of vinegar. I wanted to give this place a chance but the previous time I attempted to eat here we were disregarded and not seated. Poor service is an indication of poor management and poor management is detrimental to a restaurant. Best of luck to this location but it will possibly be my last time going here for a meal. If we do give them another try I will be sure to update my assessment of them. read more

Second visit and service with a smile- Again! This time the young lady working the cash register was patient and friendly, as my morning start was later than I anticipated. I basically felt discombobulated, but the young lady's excellent service was so nice it changed me. Then, I had to visit my Favorite Thrift Store... Wonderful! read more

A great quick casual eatery! Awesome home cooked meals just like mom used to make. The prices are very reasonable. Awesome daily specials, and the people are so nice. Don't even get me started on their homemade desserts! The very best pretzel salad ever! I love the shrimp salad for lunch! read more

Wow. A must stop to eat. Friendly folks, home cooking, extensive menu, and quality food. A treasure ..... found inside the Teen Challenge Thriftstore. read more

NOT TO BE MISSED! This was a fantastic, clean and excellent restaurant inside a thrift store. Outrageously delicious meatloaf special with an out of this world Wednesday only apple cobbler. A huge menu that includes breakfast starting at 6 AM. Top notch service makes this my new favorite place. read more

Interesting location in the back of a thrift store in Seaford. A large group of us bikers were seated immediately. The drink orders came out promptly and accurately. Looking at the typical diner menu choices, with both breakfast and lunch choices available, I was shocked by the low prices. I went with breakfast, and wasn't disappointed. The food came out hot, and cooked just right. The drinks were kept full. My belly was kept full, too, without emptying my wallet. And try the pie. It's heavenly. read more

. l moved my business to delaware and I travel 13 weekly from north maryland . On three separate trips i ordered to go. Every order was a mess. Sides missing, food scrambled in the tray, and poor presentation. I called to speak with the manager as a business owner reporting the happenings in hopes of improvement. My calls resulted in a hang up. I called back .....never an offer to replace the missing sides or to make it right . totally rude , uncaring , and unprofessional. My in store experience was a 4 , the food was good. My customer service experience is a 2 only because they answered the phone. The calls were actually a -2. Never ever going back read more

Terrible hostess Saturday. Rude. Empty tables but would not seat us (3). My friend is in a wheelchair and was sitting in a traffic area. The man that came in right after us left, we left and another man looked up as we passed and followed us out. So they lost 5 breakfasts. The waitress lost her tips. We all went to IHOP and we're well taken care of. read more

A large group of about 18 people ate lunch there on Dec 6. When this was set up there was no mention of an automatic gratuity. We understand there is most always a gratuity for large parties, however, we were charged over 30% gratuity! There was only 1 server taking care of our group and she was horrible. I thought she was new but later informed she has 15 yrs experience. Food all came out at different times, she had to ask who had what meal, no one had their drink refilled until we were ready to go, and she never came back to see how things were. When we questioned about the tip at the checkout we were told by the two unconcerned staff members at checkout there was nothing they could do and the manager was not there. I called when I got home, manager still not there. I asked for a call back and have been waiting for 5 days. We will not be returning to this restaurant which is a shame since the food is good and prices are fair. There is just no need to scalp customers in a party with an insanely ridiculous gratuity...especially for poor service. Several of us will not return here due to this. read more

Eating hear since for a long time and it's still as good recommend if you your tired of eating at average food places the. Eat here

I'm afraid Smith's has to be updated to our "do not dine" list. Why? Service, the ongoing issue we've had here since they opened. For the second time we've found ourselves waiting so long for a hostess that we eventually walked out. The restaurant was mostly empty; 2 young women were working the counter right next to us but totally ignored us. Several servers walked by and didn't say a word. We waited and waited and waited...at 4pm on a Friday. A crying shame, because I really enjoy the food. This is where chains excel: they train the staff on how to greet the customer. All anyone had to do was acknowledge us and spend 30 seconds getting us in a seat. I don't think we'll try again, not for at least a couple years. read more

Pretty good. I liked it. Just in a weird location. But the food was just above average I would say.

my kids love this place their favorite is the birch beer and they get to go to the discount store as they call it also when it's pumpkin pie season they bought the whole pie read more

The breakfast was good. I have the French toast and my husband and son had pancakes. It wasn't anything to swoon over. I will have to come back and try other meals. read more

I'll be honest, this place being connected to a thrift shop (in the store) was a major warning sign to me. However I was totally wrong and it is some of the best food I have had in this area. I went with the roast beef melt with thousand island instead of horseradish and sauerkraut great great meal and super cheap. For dessert I went with cookies and cream ice cream and I kid you not tasted like it was made hours before. I highly recommend this place and I can say for certain that I will be back very soon. read more

Great desserts! We have enjoyed Smith's many times! Great for families! Known for their crabcakes! We'll definitely be back for more! The service was great! read more
