Smachs Kountryfied Cafe — Restaurant in Mayflower

After showing up to Bobby's the other morning and realizing they are closed on Sunday, and since my beloved Strouds is no more, I decided to try Smach's in Mayflower for my diner-food breakfast.

Walking in the door, there was no sign about whether to seat ourselves or not, so we did and after a few minutes, our waitress came by for drink orders (yuk, Pepsi.). A while later, she come back out with the drinks and took our food orders. I'm not griping at her service speed b/c she was one of 2 serving the entire full restaurant, but still...

I ordered 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 bacon, and home fries. The eggs were cooked a perfect medium - which for some reason seems to be hard to find around here. The pancakes were ok, but nothing special, but the bacon...no bueno. I don't know if it was the brand they used, the way it was cooked, or what, but I've put leather in my mouth that tasted better. The home fries were...well, fried in a skillet. to some, that's fine. For me, I prefer mine to have a crust all the way around, not just on one side. Add to that the fact that they weren't all that crispy, I docked them a half a point. The flavor was there, it just wasn't great.

Price-wise, they are on par with most other places ~$10/person +drink/tax/tip. Location is easy to get in and out of and they are pretty easy to find, being as its Mayflower and all.

I'll go back and try them on a day when they aren't so crowded and try something different. Maybe the score will get higher. Until then, a solid 3/5 due to the bacon and...

You know previously I had posted that this was the best breakfast ever but the last 2 times have been the worst experience I've ever had. The restaurant wasn't busy I took my wife and 2 daughters waited over 40 minutes for breakfast all I asked was for an update and I was told we're not fast food as the waiter walked off talking mess to me then I explained to the lady up front when she asked me about how the experience was and she had the nerve to say well hes right we're not fast food and didn't care that the biscuits and gravy were cold or anything else it's sad because this truly was a good place to eat I don't know what's happened I don't know why anybody would waste $30 on food at this restaurant I usually don't leave bad reviews but this truly was the worst experience It's ever had and I was a District manager for corporate Denny's and IHOP so I know the business. I love hometown cafe's so that's why this is disappointing. I do want to caution that you might want to take good care of not just the regulars but all the outside business because yes we are not regulars but we do come every so often so you are limiting yourself you are leaving money on the table and you're making the minimal profit by not taking care of all the business.

And if you don't believe my review you might want to look at all the 1 in 2 star reviews if one person says it it's a rumor if 2 or more say it's a fact you might want to...

Enjoyed eating there with a co-worker for late lunch. Plan to eat there again when working in area. We both ordered Unsweetened Tea with Lemon (guess they didn't have lemon?) It was tall(!), fresh flavor & nice color. Server was thoughtful to bring extra tall cup of ice to go along with our Tea. Our appetizer, Fried Pickles, was very tasty & prepared just right; served with ranch type sauce. My co-worker ordered Taco Salad with bowl type shell, served her choice sauce; which she said was delicious. I ordered the 2/3? Triple? Smach Burger with no Bun with no sides. I, however, received Burger with bun, as if this was unusual request per reaction of server. I just removed bun myself & didn't have issue. I really liked the Season of Burger. I enjoyed learning a bit of restaurant family history... each letter on Smach's represents a endeared family member, which they named each a few times. All staff was very personable & friendly. Enjoyable...
