We have been going to this Smitty's for years. The staff is amazing and always come say hi to us, even if we're not in their section. We love everything about this place. The staff must really love working there, as we are always greeted with smiles. Clearly someone has trained them well. Did I mention the food is always very good and delicious.
Out to our usual Henderson Smitty’s to take in some NHL playoff hockey. Decided on the Cobb Salad dressed with 1000 island. Very tasty with field greens, chicken, bacon, blue cheese and hard boiled egg. Along with an order of nice crispy onion rings it was pretty much dinner but….. I needed an order of wings. I tried the over baked instead of deep fried and the Cajun seasoning seemed zippier than usual which was nice. Along with our waitress Brooke it made for a great night out and the right team won!!
Had an excellent experience here! Our server, Grace, was fantastic — super friendly, attentive, and really on top of everything. She recommended the Eggs Benedict, and it was a great choice… absolutely delicious. Grace truly made the visit enjoyable with her great service and genuine care. Highly recommend!
This is a great restaurant! We live down the street and come once or twice a week. You can tell it is well-managed. The staff is always excellent no matter who you get, food is good quality (and quick) and the prices can't be beat! Best value in the city! We had gone to Earl's the other day, paid twice as much and service was awful (kept saying "we shoulda just gone to Smitty's" lol). Keep up the great work and thanks for a great neighbourhood place!
Sat down, ordered, and received our breakfast in less than 7 minutes. They have some morning specials, he got 2 pancakes, bacon, sausage, and 2 eggs, for $9.99. I had 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns, 2 pieces of toast for $10.99. Well worth the money. Thank you! Server was attentive .
Hosted a private company breakfast and the staff was top notch! Unfortunately I can't remember our server's name, but she was on top of everything and anticipating our needs. We had a buffet style meal and the cook who served our food was kind and friendly. The manager, Alyssa, was excellent! She worked with us to make some last minute adjustments, and for a group of 45 people, that's not always easy to do. They went above and beyond and made our event the best it could be. Thank you!
I had a great experience here! The service was excellent, our server Jas was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, he took care of us SOOOO well!! I will definitely be coming back here just for him!! The food came out quickly and was delicious. Overall, a really pleasant visit. Thank you Jas!!
