Smokey's Restaurant — Restaurant in Dartmouth

Sadly, this is the last time I will ever eat here. After decades of great, affordable food, this was so bad I'm just hoping I don't end up with unfortunate gastro results. No masks, no gloves, no handwashing, and the restaurant hasn't been cleaned in far too long. The fries were so overcooked they were dry as sawdust and the gravy couldn't save them. The fish was extremely dark brown and crunchy, and reeked of rancid oil, leading me to wonder just how long it's been since the fryer oil was changed, or if the fryers have EVER been cleaned. And I've never seen tartar sauce that was so yellow it looked like armpit stains - it certainly shouldn't have smelled as bad as it did, either. So now I'm sitting here with less money and I've already binned the takeout container because I couldn't eat it, so I'm also...

Service was really good. Not pushy, nicely to the point, quick wait times for food and table service.

The area was nice to sit in, not too fancy and not too ghetto. The artwork on the walls was neat, the signed Guy LeFluer framed poster and the Beatles image were my favorites.

Overall, a good experience. I...

I hardy ever leave bad reviews, for this one, I have to. The "fresh grilled haddock" must have been undercooked from frozen without fully thawing. Inside was rubbery and hearty and outside was overcooked and badly seasoned and breaded. I was extremely disappointed as I heard good things about this place before I went for lunch. General ambiance, cleanliness, paying with debit arrangement, everything was off with this place. Maybe I was cranky?! Overall, I didn't enjoy the meal and didn't finish it as I was scared to have food poisoning. I have so much more to say but I'm holding back. Don't think I'll be...
