I grew up in Bolivar, and Smith's Restaurant was always one of my favorite places. My grandma used…read moreto take me here all the time, and I loved their food -- it was one of those hometown staples that felt comforting and special. Because of that history, I came in with high hopes, but I left incredibly disappointed. The service was awful. Our server, Christy, was friendly to me but noticeably rude to my husband, which felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. It was such a strange, almost hostile energy at the table, and it immediately soured the experience. Then the food came, and it was nothing like it used to be. What used to taste like good, home-style cooking now felt bland, poorly prepared, and honestly not worth eating. I could tell right away it wasn't the same standard Smith's used to be known for. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. Even though there were quite a few people inside, the restaurant was silent. At first, I thought it was odd, but after tasting the food and experiencing the service, it made sense. People weren't enjoying themselves. The silence said everything. It breaks my heart to write this, because Smith's used to mean so much to me growing up. But this visit left me disappointed, uncomfortable, and sad that a place once so loved has lost the warmth and quality it used to have.

I ordered the chicken pot pie and it was delicious. It could have used a touch of thyme to elevate it a bit, but the crust was the real star. Flaky, golden, and perfectly done. Hubby had the bratwurst sandwich, which is really more of a plate, and the standout on his dish was obviously the potato salad, along with the warmed and buttered pretzel roll. Whoa.

The service was a little slow and it seemed like some customers were not happy with that. I think they could use some more training in customer service. There were multiple young people working but no one seemed to be a leader which made things difficult. Hope to visit again while at our lake house. The desserts were good and tasted great. We didn't try any food since we had already eaten.
