Went for brunch, the cubed hash browns are some of the worst I’ve ever had, no seasoning at all on them, the scrambled egg was more like an omelette, we had our food but waited almost 10 minutes for the toast. When done I asked for the bill and waited another 10 minutes, won’t be going back, very disappointing.

October 21, 2024

Food took forever to come out and was cold when it arrived Waitress was a sweet lady though, not her fault. The food was extremely slow and not very good either.

My family and I went for all you can eat fish and chips. The fish was barely edible at best, the batter was thick and undercooked, and although it states all you can eat fish & chips, it's only all you can eat fish, chips are not included so that deal is misleading. The fries were good but I counted about 10 on my plate so they definitely skimped there. Won't be back unfortunately. Concept is good but execution poor.

TERRIBLE experience. All you can eat breakfast but there is one waiter serving over ten people I waited over 25 minutes for my breakfast and am still hear waiting over 20 minutes to ask for another serving. Theirs is a big guy just walking around doing nothing I think he could be helping. Really not a good experience at all need to either get more employees or do something cause I would rather not spend two hours in a restaraunt early morning.

Nothing exciting to say here. Food was decent, service was good. Prices featured the typical Fort McMurray tax. If you want something other than Tim’s before you head off to work it’s not a bad option but there’s nothing special here to rave about.

Went to Change my daughter in the bathroom and the baby change table had dirty wipes and tissues along with dirt left inside. Clearly had not been cleaned in more than a few days🤢 For always being a slow spot when visiting the experience is trash. Once we told the server about the dirty bathroom they continued to chat with another table and not even go and check on the bathroom or is again until it was clear we were waiting to leave looking for our server.

December 21, 2024

Under cooked sausages and eggs. When I pointed it out to the server, she informed me that they always get complaints about the sausages. I will not go back there.

I ordered a turkey dinner it was the worse turkey dinner I ever had potatoes was dry had 2 carrots on my plate little gravy had to ask for more and turkey was sliced turkey not real turkey I thought for 20 dollars a plate I would get a good dinner we also ordered fettuccine with meatballs and meatballs were that soft they fell apart other dishes were ok but for a family of 4 to spend over 100 its definitely not worth it

Big shout out to the staff of Smitty s in Fort McMurray, Alberta!!! We had my husband s 60th birthday celebration there March 20/24 and I couldn t have asked for better staff to deal with! They were professional, very helpful and accommodating. The two ladies that took care of us went out of their way to make sure our party was a success! We used their back room for the celebrations, and although we only had 13 people, it could easily accommodate 25-30. The room was already nicely decorated, but we were able to add our own decorations earlier in the day to add a personal touch for the occasion. The food was exceptional as well! My husband was very happy with it, as were all our friends and family. This was a great experience and I am so glad I chose Smitty s for this memorable occasion. Well done !!!

Food was decent, had the big country breakfast to try a bit of each meat. Eggs were good, sausage was meh, back bacon was good, bacon was good, toast was great and ham was good. Overall would go again but would just get eggs and bacon meal. Coffee was also nice.

February 22, 2024

My first visit my food was cold so it was sent back to be heated up, came back cold. Have been here five times assuming that the first bad experience was a one off. Unfortunately my food especially the soup keeps coming out cold. Not sure if the cook(s) have any actual experience but Id venture to say no they dont. The server didnt know what the soup or pie was and never did find out about the pie. She was however professional and friendly hence one star. Its my estimate that this Smittys will close within the year.

January 22, 2024

Horrible service. Took over an hour for our food to even get started. They focused more on Skip the Dishes than they did on their ACTUAL customers. Not even the radio was a reprieve, it looped the same three damn Christmas songs over and over to the point I have a vendetta against Christmas music now. Do not go here, it s a massive waste of time.

January 22, 2024

Horrible experience. My friend got beard hair in her food and part of my order was missing. We waited a long time to be served even though the restaurant was almost empty.

it could be a one time thing but the washroom toilet seat was dirty, not urine. That was bad! Smaller things were our tea and coffee were not very hot. Our food was plenty, tasty and hot. Had the western omelette. Two of us were very full and took lots home. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast for two was 49.00. Very good deal.

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

Terrible service had to wait a long time and customers that arrived after me got seated before me . Half my order was missing amd when getting the bill they still try amd charge me for it . I had to wait 10 mins for my server to get the bill and the only reason I got it is because I got up amd asked the other girl. I never got asked if I wanted another drink and was completely ignored by my server. After this experience I will never return much of my time was wasted.

December 22, 2023

I wish I old give this a lesser rating. we waited an hour with a toddler before leaving without eating. she didnt come to even refill drinks. It just keep getting fuller and fuller and like 2 tables got food. the servers even got in a 4 way argument at the hostess stand. Really bad. do not go!

December 22, 2023

First time trying smittys since they opened up again and was incredibly disappointed, everyone who ate today has a stomach ache, we had 3 people eating, 2 people had their meals way before the 3rd to the point where the meals were almost done before the last even got their food. And when they did the meal wasn t even close to what they had asked for even though the server wrote it all down. Then the server began to ask if he will just eat the wrong order instead of sending it back, proceeded to not bring the hollandaise, the toast was not toasted and the hash browns on everyones plate was cold and nearly raw in the middle and then extremely burnt on the outside. There also were no coffee refills until we had to track the server down. We received no compensation or compassion for spending so much on the experience to not receive a good one. I really hope they are just trying to get in the groove and that things will get better for them, but from this experience alone we can easily say we all won t be returning. Best of luck in the future.

Went there for dinner with the family and the service was ok but the experience was not Good. Ordered a meal which I can not have tomatoes made it very clear they gave me my clubhouse and it was soaked in tomatoe juice I told them I couldn t have tomatoes and they brought my sandwich back 15mins later they brought me back my new sandwich which when I looked it was the same soaked bread and it had tomatoe seeds all over the bottom was super upset.. they should care about people s allergies and request more seriously..

Ok, so the server was OK but there was a rush so I totally get if she wasnt in the mood thats fine. I ordered the so-cal Benedict. The English muffin was so HARD, I couldnt even bite into it. My problem was, with the dish being the way it was I tried to cut into it because bitting into would just be messy because I ordered a runny yolk but the English muffin was just tough. For $20 I expected the whole dish to be edible. I ate the toppings only and tried to eat the English muffins after but omg, its just like eating cardboard. For the price, everything just tasted mid, no flavor. The hashbrown didnt have salt so I added some but turns out, the half I was eating wasnt salted and now the other half was too salted lol. I really hope this place doesnt shut down because I would love for them to improve. Theyve got a great menu, just some rebranding needs to happen. The crepes were bomb though.

Went in for breakfast with my boyfriend, service was good- not great got our drinks and order taken fairly quickly. Our food came out decently fast but it was barely lukewarm and did not taste good my any means- complimentary hotel breakfast is better in my opinion. I had to get a gluten free bun as a substitute for toast because they do not offer gluten free bread, I was disappointed when I saw my bun came out hot but soggy from being microwaved and was not toasted. The server was really nice about it though and took it back to have it toasted. Overall service was good but the food was seriously sub par. Both of our stomachs have felt off since and I don t think we will be back.

One of the worst breakfast experiences I have ever had, a true comedy of errors. Waited 20 minutes (I actually started a timer) to even get water and coffee, then proceeded to wait another hour for food which when it came out wasnt even the correct order. Horribly slow service, and bad food considering each dish is about $14-17. I would have been far more satisfied with McDonalds because at least I know what Im getting myself into beforehand.

December 22, 2014

Too expensive for its worth. Mediocre to Bad service. Even though there are about 6 waitresses working at a time in that small restaurant, they avoid looking at you, when you need something during your meal. Your waitress is the Only person you can ask of anything when you need to. All the others dont even bother looking at you. Also they are sneaky with the orders and make lots of mistakes. If you are in a group of 4 people or more, prepare for something to go wrong with someones order...or be prepared to pay more than you thought you were gonna pay for your order, because you ordered a side which is not included (and they asked you if u wanted it but didnt mention that they charge you or how much they charge you for it). Additionally many dishes are 2 times in the menu. One is cheaper and doesnt include sides and the other is more expensive but includes sides. You will probably pay the most expensive combination every time. So make sure you know what you are ordering or be prepared for it when you get the check.. In restaurants where the service is good, when the waitors/waitresses take your order, they give you their undevided attention. At Smitties in Fort McMurray, while they are taking your order, they are looking all around all the time and are always in a hurry, probably because each waitress is checking on her other tables. Hense the very poor overall service. Last, the buffet is expensive and of very limited choices. $16+ for eggs, bacon, sausage, bread and sweets. It got two stars because there is one other restaurant in Fort Mac which is worse than this place.
