Fish dinner - A fried fish sandwich with a breaded fillet on a bun, served with crinkle-cut French fries and a side of coleslaw in the background.
Patricia K.

I had heard good things about Smitty's so I couldn't wait to try it. The parking was ample, the restrooms clean. The staff so very friendly and welcoming. The chili was delicious. The beef soup was delicious. The wrap sandwich delicious The fish dinner horribly disappointing. I needed to discard the fish in fear of getting sick. It tasted bad & had an odor. The sandwich was plain and did not come with any toppings. I will never order the fish again. $13 wasted. We ordered off of the googled menu on line. The prices have gone up substantially from what's advertised. I understand that. I will return again. Next time I'll order the soup and salad.

Food was okay, my smithy burger ( like big Mac ). With hot fries. Service not special, was ignored by server when we came in, turned out to be our server. If I was alone or with a guy, instead of my wife, I think it would've been different.

Always good food and great service! I hit Smitty's up for lunch on a pretty regular basis. The pot roast is to die for.

Looks old inside and out and the food is ok. Casual. Chips and salsa are good! Like eating on the patio in the summer.

"Ooh Boy" said most of our party. 14 of us on a Saturday night sat in back room. It cycled from…read morefrigid to sweltering back there depending on if furnace was running. Super Easy solution: add a couple baseboard heaters & temps will stay constant! Food was another matter. About half was satisfied since about half had an issue. My Patty Melt was laughable. Smallest sandwich I've seen served at an actual restaurant. At 8.69 it was a rip-off.. DQ has a burger fry sundae & drink for $7 & is comparable. The bread is likely sliced in house b/c it is half thickness of a regular slice of bread. It was over grilled like a crouton too. But the real disappointment was the minuscule amount of grilled onions hiding underneath the 1/8th pound burger patties. I also asked for mayo on it & didn't get any!! Shoulda got regular Oh boy which is cheaper, has twice the bread, ton of lettuce compared to my onion, and comes w/ sauce vs. my no mayo. Other complaints: cheeseballs were not as good since they confirmed they switched suppliers. They're actually curds now. Onion rings were overfried & really dark which was fine but they were actually not warm so they musta sat in window too long. A few liked their super OhBoys but at $13, it's an average value. Chicken wrap was a value but needed more sauce / kinda dry. Service: We asked if garden burger had chunks of veggies or a Griller type & she said no veggies but it was indeed that type. A couple other mess ups w/ missed toppings & sides & pop missing syrup rounded out the visit.

Our server was very kind and attentive, particularly considering it was a hectic day on a holiday weekend (the 4th of July). I had the Chicken Caesar wrap with fries. I know it's a basic, but they did something that only one other place I've been to has ever done. They added rice inside the wrap. The only other place I've ever known to do this is Crazy Bowls & Wraps in St. Louis. This is an AWESOME idea. It really brings all the flavors of the wrap together. What I don't get is that I really wanted a buffalo chicken wrap, but it wasn't on the menu. They did have a Buffalo Chicken salad on the menu, but they wouldn't make it into a wrap. WTF? That said, the waitress was kind enough to bring me a side of buffalo sauce and I dipped the wrap in the sauce. It turned out amazing!!! Really. By the way, their fries are sincerely some of the best french fries I've ever had. I'd give it a 4 or 5 out of 5 if they weren't so damn hung up on not making a salad already on the menu into a wrap.... I mean, WTF??? What's so hard about that?

Check Please Cafe - This meal came with two sides ... the other side chosen was the tasty chili without beans. Tea is above and decaf is below (mine).

Danielle liked her pickle-chicken sandwich and seemed disappointed that i don't want to go back, so i'll probably have to relent at some point and just get French Toast and go into diabetic shock. oooohh, i forgot. i also ordered a cup of the corn chowder (soup of the day). it wasn't great and corn was the least plentiful ingredient in it. i'd call it more of a potato and bacon chowder w/ corn casually tossed in.
