Smitty's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Lower Truro

The food is good, the service is fast, the selection is very good, the prices are high. The place is clean and well lit, the parking is not overly spacious, so if you plan to eat there arrive early. I had the fish and chips and my wife ate a hotchicken and fries.

June 28/ 2024 Today I was not pleased, I ordered a very simple breakfast, 2 eggs over easy, crisp bacon and whole wheat toasts, nothing spectacular, right? Well it took forever to appear and when it did, my toasts were cold, probably due to the fact that they were not buttered, eggs were luke warm. Poor Megan was doing her best as the place was busy. I worked in a restaurant as a teenager and the place was on a very busy highway and open 24/7, 365 days/year, and I cooked eggs and bacon when the cook was too busy, no big deal. My breakfast should have been delivered way earlier in my estimation and hot.time

1st of October/24, had lunch with my spouse, my wife had the Mediterranean Salad Bowl and she says it was very tasty and of course it's healthy, I had in my opinion the best chicken strips in town, it's was the 2nd time that I ate these at Smitty's, the fries are not the best in the world but they are very good. The staff is friendly and attentive, always checking to see if you...

Where to begin, I normally refrain from doing reviews when it's not great but this place was 100% a disappointment. I ordered a mimosa, not sure what they used, but it definitely didn't taste like champagne and it wasn't remotely bubbly. Now for the Eggs Benedict-Florintine, not that I am a connoisseur of hollandaise sauce but it was downright terrible. It was bland, a little chunky and too thick. Eggs were overcooked, no spinach but a supposed tomato jam which was just plain not good. Now my pan fries I thought for sure would be spot on but that was a failure too. If only they were cooked for maybe 2 more minutes so they weren't partially undercooked. I ended up sending it back, which has only happened one other time in my life. The waiter said he would see what he could do to 'help us out' which consisted of removing the 2 coffee's we had at a cost of 6.00. Now since I can only review my own meal, my partners was equally as bad. With a small tip it was still almost 60.00 for 2 people. Extremely overpriced, food was horrible but the service was quick. Not personable and cheery, just quick. Maybe my expectations are too high, and they had an off day....

Yesterday we were told that there was no longer a senior's menu and that there were still gluten free items on the menu. I was told that I could also still order 1/2 of a Meat Lovers Skillet Meal. My mom's meal of 3 Gluten Free Pancakes with nothing else on the plate and a lemonade was $24 and the pancakes were tasteless!!!! She was told that she had to pay extra for the maple syrup ( Which Smittys advertises as their own special maple syrup) and for the gluten free order!!!!!!!! ( No indication on menu) To make matters worse , I was charged $18.49 for the 1/2 meal of a $19.99 Skillet and it certainly was half a meal with 1 piece of bacon , and very few pieces of sausage. When I questioned the waitress she responded that that was what they charged for 1/2 meal. I jokingly asked if I could get the other 1/2 of a Skillet for $1.50. No response. The waitress was apologetic for prices and their did not appear to be anyone else around to complain too we paid but will never go back.
