Smitty's Cafe & Bakery

Do not be deceived, this may look like a gas station but indoors is filled with happy servers, delicious brunch/breakfast, and countless sweet treats. We had a delightful breakfast and will be retuning for dessert soon.

Upon initial observation, this eatery occupies a converted old gas station, requiring a brief detour after initially passing it. Opted for the half portion of chicken fried steak for breakfast and was thoroughly impressed. The farm-fresh eggs were cooked to perfection, and the hash browns boasted an ideal balance of buttery flavor. I plan to revisit this establishment whenever I'm in town for business. The culinary experience here is exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

We almost missed it! Not a lot in the way of signage to bring you in from Hwy 290. After we finished breakfast, I almost wished we had missed it, which may not be fair since the menu items were exactly what we expected and came to the table exactly as ordered, and my husbands disagrees with me. But, its my review so I am speaking my mind! Eggs and chicken fried steak (half order) disappeared quick enough but gravy on my biscuits was just warm and left me a little underwhelmed. Menu just didn't have a lot to interest me but it includes chicken tenders and waffles and French toast. We didn't try any of the baked goods, but our young server was sweet and engaging.

Located off the highway in a former gas station, this place served up the best country breakfast!! The chef owner is classically trained and it shows. Though it was standard diner fare, we could tell our brekkie was prepared by expert hands. The biscuits were only to be rivaled by my grandmother! So light and fluffy and we grabbed a few slices of pie to take home.

Good grub priced nice. Home style good cooking. Nice people to serve you. Try the pie!

This was a welcomed find in the morning after needing to stay the night in town. When arrived it was obvious several tables had just sat and were waiting for their orders. We actually sat at the last remaining open table. Regardless the staff made sure we had plenty of to drink while we waited, and continued to check on us throughout at perfect intervals. When we started seeing others food come out we knew we would be happy. And while it took a bit it was not all unreasonable. Everything we ordered looked and tasted amazing, it was honestly more than any of us could finish despite wanting to keep trying. If we find ourselves back in town I am certain we will visit again.

I ordered the Kitchen Sink with a biscuit and coffee and pancakes for the kids. I've had hash before but this looked like every left over thing in the fridge slapped on a metal tray. It was as unappetizing as it looked, it looked like slop. The outside of the biscuit was somewhat warm to the touch and cold in the middle. Coffee was warm bordering on cold. Kids Bacon was somewhat cold and floppy/not crisp. I really wanted to love this place, it had a cool vibe, but not a do over and wouldn't take anyone there.On a positive note, our waitress was nice, place looked clean and a cool idea. The food just wasn't good.

This unassuming renovation of an old gas station is a pleasant surprise if you're in Brendan. The servers are great--friendly, efficient, and sassy, with funny t shirts.But...the food is what really shines. Whoever is back in the kitchen working that fryer really knows their stuff. The fried stuff was perfect--piping hot, crispy, but not greasy.My side salad was gorgeous, and as impressive as entree salads I've had. My "Chicken strips" were more like 2 full breast fillets, and were delicious (even the one I didn't get to for 12 hours!). My companion's chicken fried steak was excellent, he said, as were the perfectly cooked green beans.But...the onion rings!!! To die for. Huge. Crispy. Perfection.I'm just glad this cafe is 100 miles from my home--otherwise I'd be back way too often to this Fried Heaven.

Food is very good !! Lots to choose from and homemade - bread pies cookies fries potatoe chips ! Very good and highly recommended

Stopped for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Place does a very brisk business at that time. Food is good, service was friendly, kept our drinks full. Decent selection of breakfast items, nothing fancy. I had chicken and biscuits; chicken was nicely breaded and perfectly cooked. Wonderful biscuits! Husband has the chicken fried steak breakfast to rave reviews. Would definitely stop again
