We came here for convenience really, Smitty's generally does not have a good reputation, my theory is if you have eggs, your pretty safe. For some reason their pancake mix leave a gastrointestinal drama that is unpleasant. But back to breakfast, I ordered a 2 egg cheddar cheese omelet with toast and fruit. The omelet was okay, the bacon was far and few between. As for the fruit salad, it was unripened fruit, mostly cantaloupe and honeydew melon, which I loathe. The waitress was pleasant. The restaurant was like stepping back in time, it is time for a renovation do over.
We traveled several miles to go for the pancakes. Pancakes were OK but the french toast was super. See picture. Service was more than excellent. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. I asked for extra crisp bacon and got it. She brought it on a separate plate just encase it had to be cooked more to my liking. We eat a lot in restaurants and travel through out Canada . It was a pleasure to visit Smitty's. The supervisor on shift was also amazing. We were very impressed with the whole experience. Ample parking for any size vehicle.
The waitress saunters up and asks, "What'll it be today, Hon"? as she gives your table a quick swipe down. Ongoing banter is friendly and low key, never interfering with professional and prompt service. Meals are predictable in a good way - there are no surprises because the regular cook is away! My elderly friend enjoyed coming here for lunch because he knew what to expect and felt valued by the staff with whom he dealt.
We tried to eat here on a couple of occasions the first time the food was disappointing and the second time we just never got served the waitress/hostess told us it would probably be another 45 min (after having already sat for 20 min) and the restaurant was almost empty! Left hungry and frustrated. This place is such a waist of valuable real estate and really needs to shut down asap Book a table now
We were staying at the BW Emerald Isle so went to Smitty's on site for breakfast. We were all disappointed in what we ordered. The pancakes and waffles had no flavor and the sausage and coffee wasn't good. One person had oatmeal and said it was ok; but the rest of us were looking forward to Smitty's like we remembered it.
Ended up not finishing and getting a head buzz from the Sodium in the food. Too bad they can't keep up with the times and make their food healthier. None of the three of us finished our breakfast. Although the staff were friendly, and the food arrived in suitable time, we did not enjoy our breadfasts.
Like all Smitty's restaurants, the menu is extensive, the food is good, and it comes quickly. The restaurant echoed a bit, making it loud, but the service was attentive and efficient. Good place to eat!
Smitty's is cut from the Denny restaurant style -- boring decor, boring food, indifferent service. But it does the job, and if you have a family with little kids it is probably for you. Book a table now
If staying at the Best Western in Sydney, this is where you get breakfast. It isn't bad, you receive a discount if you're a hotel gust, so overall it's convenient.
Service and food was just like home. Quick, friendly and fast. Always came back to refill coffee or tea.
