2053 Mayor Magrath Dr S, Lethbridge, AB T1K 2P8, Canada
Smitty's™ is an all-day gathering hub for families, friends, teams, and colleagues. Our menu will appeal to everyone at the table! From our famous Smitty's™ buttermilk pancakes, waffles, skillets, and omelettes to garden fresh salads, burgers, steaks, and pasta. We even have a popular kid's menu for the smallest Smitty's™ guest! We can't wait to see you!
Staff was fine, nice enough and decent service. However the food was just genuinely unpallatable. Turkey dinner ordered was just deli meat, no real turkey, with bland almost cardboard gravy. Everything tasted like paper. Fries were basically unsalted, grilled cheese for kids at the table was just cheese whiz between toast. Mashed potatoes were flavorless. Caesar salad was okay. It's not insanely expensive so you get what you pay for, but for a few dollars more per meal you could visit a restaurant with significantly better food.
The staff are very friendly, and fast. We got coffee refilled before our cups were empty. I was surprised at the seving sizes here, a nice full plate.
Ordered a Chocolate milkshake, beef dip with fries and gravy. Milkshake wasn't bad, Aubrey made it nice and thick. Not the biggest ever but I would say reasonable for the price and real ice cream not ice milk. And it's much better presented than my meal! Got a very good portion of fries although I'm not a fan of shoestring - but that is a me issue! Sandwich tasted okay but frankly I had to bring half of it home, somewhat soggy on the bottom and inside. I guess that is what my frying pan is for. Gravy was lukewarm, au jus was lukewarm. Things that would have made a world of difference: Sandwiches, especially elongated ones should be cut on an angle it makes it easier for the customer to have a starting point. (That's the purpose in case you're wondering) What happened to the nice little garnish, a couple slices of Orange or something? Wiping the cup holding the au jus - needed to catch a bus can't really do that with the au jus dripped on my shirt. And definitely weren't busy enough to skip over it. Serving a cup with juice slopped all over half of it, pretty tacky. Wish I had photographed that better. Unclear if it was the manager or the owner working the till. Must have been having a horrible day, seemed pretty miserable. He did apologize but when I explained only a little of above he was pretty dismissive. I guess maybe he hasn't been in the food industry very long. Hot condiments being hot. Beef dip bun should have been grilled on the inside with a bit of margarine butter or garlic butter. Certainly would have helped the sogginess and texture. It also helps the bread to maintain its shape and texture after dipping -again it has a purpose. Aubrey was sweet, she asked if there was anything she could do. Order was correct, food was fast - maybe too fast, definite lack of care. She got five stars, the manager or owner got 3. Menus are terribly faded, to the extent that couldnt always read it or see prices. It was however wonderfully quiet. And I enjoyed my table companions Bubbles, Bob, Suki and Edwin. (I named the goldfish, seemed a reasonable thing to do) Rather undecided if I'd ever go back. Left about 5 minutes after I got my food, yet took nothing off the bill when I was obviously unhappy. (No I did not expect the meal to be free, but an offer of desert or a few dollars off would have shown a little consideration)
Family restaurant, food is great, price is really reasonable nowadays.
This was my first time at this restaurant. Upon entering I met a lovely gentleman who was kind and politely showed me to my table in a quick amount of time. He's a very kind man. The waitress came and took my order quickly and brought my drink just as quick as she did the order despite there being 9 other tables. The atmosphere is comfortable and feels like home. It's truly a wonderful place to sit and enjoy some delicious food with a good conversation!!!
The food is decent as well as portion size. However, last time we were there, we looked up at the curtains, and there was gobs of dust on them. I was a little concerned with it floating down onto our food. This is one of those restaurants who has never changed its interior and I think it’s about time. It turned me off from going again.
Enjoyed my time here, but the young waitress was not very good at her work yet. I believe she's New. Other than that I enjoy their food 💝
The food was great. I ordered a variation on the Eggs Benedict standard, and it was well made, hot, and tasty. The server was very fast, thorough, and cheerful. I commented to my supper guest that, despite the surroundings not changing in a while, it still seemed very cheerful, warm, homey, clean, and well taken care of. Some dismiss Smitty's as being ordinary food, but there are many variations on stand-by favourites. Prices have not gone up much, and the food is always a good value for the money. The management hasn't changed hands in a long time. They are always welcoming and happy to see you.
Great place for a cup of morning coffee with some ole and new friends!
Good foot, great service.
Great food, great location, excellent staff Kid-friendliness: Very friendly to families Food : 4/5 |
Good food, great service Just sad they were out of HP sauce! My all day breakfast just isn t the same without HP! Parking: Two handicapped parking spots and lots of regular parking
Food is fast. Service has always been great every time Ive been here.
Always a pleasure enjoying meals at Smittys
excellent service, my kids love to take breakfast there. customer services is very good
Always great, our family has been going here for years.
Great little restaurant, the best Smittys youll find!
Went for Fathers Day. Brought the wrong meal and power was out. Should have mentioned it when we came in. Wont be back.
I met a friend here and ordered pie and coffee. After 2.5 hours we were still visiting and the waitress was still pouring us coffee. We ordered some poutine and continued to visit. The manager and waitress were very accommodating and welcoming. We will definitely return.
Comfy cozy place to eat with great service
Was a nice experience for my granddaughter.
I think this place is good but I had to put salt on my scrambled eggs I thought they did it for me oh well The eggs were good. The bacon was very flavourful that s why I liked the bacon. The maple syrup was good liquidy maple syrup very sugary too yum. my pancakes were good because they weren t too fluffy, but they were fluffy. and when I left, I got a free small package of Oreos with two regular sized Oreos, amazing . also, there s an aquarium you can watch when you re eating. this is my review 4 stars .
Super greasy food, wait staff looked, and acted, annoyed that we walked in, she was working herself but there was only 2 people at the bar and 4 tables (including us/ours) being used.
Everything is deep fried. Including the bacon. Cant cook an egg for the life of them Coffee is week. Service is terrible.
Maybe it was just the color of our skin But we were seated, first, but that was misleading! Because our order was taken AFTER the white folks who were in line AFTER US Food
Whoa so great fast seasoned Staff
Good food n good place to play the machines while waiting for food or after eating
Food was gross, table and walls dirty and hardly ever seen our server
Very
The was good, our waitress was unkind; not willing to or listen to my needs, when it came ordering. The atmosphere was a bit of negative one, because where we HAD TO SIT , people around us, made it clear they didnt approve of our presence.
Ordered ginger beef which is normally crispy, and Delicious, however this time it arrived looking grey and limp. Very disappointing, obviously the chef that made the crispy ginger beef , was not the one that cooked the dish we received this last week. So I have to presume that they are not consistent in the dishes. Too bad...
Good food and friendly service at decent prices. Place was quite full last we time went, but even so we didn t have to wait very long to order and our food didn t take long to arrive either. Apparently it s quite a popular place for seniors for lunchtime, and they do offer a senior s discount, or special. Parking: Good parking lot. Kid-friendliness: Child friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: Physical disability friendly place.
It was very good. Excellent price . Nice staff.
Food was cold, waitress was never around. No coffee refills or inquiries as to whether we enjoyed our breakfast. Not a very good experience!! We wont be back.
Our go to place for breakfast, Always good food and great friendly staff.
Was a great time for lunch. Servers were really busy and did an excellent job getting to everyone. Especially the girl who served us!!
Delicious liver and onions!! Thank you! It was a quick turn around from Calgary and back. I felt satisfied after stopping for a lovely hot meal! Thank you!
Breakfast sausages are no good time for smittys to get a new brand. Very friendly owner.
Always a great place to go for a good meal at reasonable prices with excellent service Parking: Should offer some customers parking lessons Wheelchair accessibility: Right up front but not marked well enough for some people
Great food! Great service!
Good food friendly service acceptable prices. Win! Parking: Always get a spot Food : 5/5 |
Have been here with a large group on numerous occasions and have always had good food and very good service
very slow service, had to ask several times
Great breakfast!! Thats what we usually go for. Great price! This place makes you feel like family. Staff are great!
Miles better than Dennys up the road, clean and friendly staff and food was good
This is our go to place for breakfast. The food is always exactly what we expect and the service is fabulous.
Best Breakfast Special!
The food was OK, not what I remember but still recommend for a meal out...
10/10 skillets are super good!
The waitress was nice but the owner was not welcoming at all. There is a distinct rotting/wet wood smell throughout the restaurant, its even worse in the washrooms. I ordered a half beef dip sandwich, it was made on a squished hotdog bun, it tasted mediocre at best. The food gave me a really upset stomach along with a super fun case of diarrhea. This particular Smittys used to be a good place to eat, years ago, but I feel as if the owner has given up.
Good food , Nice friendly staff
Great prices and service. Best Smittys Ive been to
Very friendly and the food was awesome. Will definitely be back!!!
We rolled into Lethbridge at 8 pm after driving 11 hours and were starving. They were closing but still managed to whip up some chicken and mashed potatoes for us. Great customer service. We will visit often.
Always enjoyable with great staff and food. Love buying their cute dish towels and clothes.
Great food wheelchair accsessable friendly staff
Friendly staff and great food
Cant beat the price of their breakfast anywhere nowadays!
Really enjoyed my lunch with my beautiful gf at this establishment
Food is really good, great service.
It is an old chain restaurant that has been around for many years. The young women that served us was super friendly and very helpful with the menu. I have a dairy allergy which she took seriously and made sure nothing had hidden dairy. The food was served just how we asked for it with no mistakes. We were a party of 5 with all different requirements. The restaurant was busy which tells me that if it is popular, it is good! And the food was very good. Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to dairy. The waitress was diligent in making sure I had no dairy. Parking: There is plenty of parking but is rather cramped right up at the restaurant. There is handicap parking up against the building. The restaurant is beside a strip mall. You can always park in Mall parking. Just across a roadway. Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids and high chairs in the restaurant today. I did not notice any childrens specials or menu but then, I never looked. Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are wide and no steps.
Service was great. Just plain food, nothing fancy and reasonably priced.
Great service, Tara is awesome!!
Took out-of-town visitors there for dinner - Smittys was their preference. We were not disappointed. Service was friendly, calm, and unrushed. Food was tasty, and portions very reasonable: Hot turkey dinner especially generous. Vegetarian options: Mediterranean Salad - skipped the Feta and asked for extra pumpkin seeds to make it vegan.
Great place to eat, was served by this cutie named Kira who was awesome, definately go back
Great place to eat staff is very friendly.
I wouldnt recommend the meatballs. Fantastic omelets, and great service, though. Reasonable prices. Food
I loved the family feel to this place. I believe it was the owner that was treating people like family. It had a good vibe. I would go again
Friendly people, excellent food, reasonable
The food was much better today than the last time we were here.
The restaurant looks a little outdated, but the food was very good and servers super friendly. We had a good experience. Thank you!
Food is alright. Not worth the cost for quality or quantity.
The lively atmosphere made my meal that more enjoyable. Service was prompt and the waitress was polite and friendly. But most of all I enjoyed the food.
Our lunch was pleasant as usual. Server was fantastic. Food is okay. Enjoyed the relaxed small town-like atmosphere. Its one of our go-tos for brunch.
Unfortunately my groups visit got cut short as we had to meet a friend elsewhere, but our server was so sweet! Not sure what her name was but she had a turquoise necklace on and she was taking on the lounge like a champ on her own! Despite a busy room, she was still managing all her customers with a kind attitude. Sorry we couldn t have stayed longer!
Just used the bathroom. But it was clean.
Great food and service.
Very good ty
This restaurant used to be ok not impressed now. lets start with coffee filled 1/2 way I order turkey dinner. The meat was tough in some places dried out then had to asked for cranberry.Veggie so over done like mush. Hubby had fish and chips fish was on darker side not burnt but heading that way.
The service is always fabulous, great welcoming atmosphere!
There is a young lady named Hailey who was wonderful waitress. Very considerate when it comes to allergies, and food aversions! She did a wonderful job!
Couldn t have asked for better service. We came in a little before closing time and they still gave us amazing service and were extremely polite. The fish and chips are to die for. Would definitely come back again.
Nice little breakfast special. Friendly. Sausage wasnt my favorite, but may be out of the owners hands to switch.
My favorite breakfast place. Great service, always quick
Great food and good portions. Very busy, tells you its good!
Food and sevice awesome
It was alright for a quick bite. The food wasnt the greatest, but it isnt bad either. Decent for the price, I would likely go back again.
I had dinner in the lounge our waitress was amazing her name was Aubrey! She was fast efficient and provided amazing service I will definitely be coming back I had a steak sandwich for 17$ so worth it!! portion sizes were definitely a good bang for your buck !
Great place to go for brunch
It was great!! It was Fathers day and lined up the door. They got every one at the door in with in 20 minutes. Tables sanitized and set. Every one had smiles on there faces. They still had time to laugh and joke. Food coming out was delicious. Highly recommended.
Great service for the last 35 years
Great meal with a seniors discount Parking: There is ample parking
Lets start with the restaurant, the walls are dusty and very dirty like I bought theyve been cleaned in a long time. There was flies in the sugar containers and I dont even know what was in the salt containers. The French toast was good the fruit I had on the side tasted funny.. my husbands meal was not good at all! (big country breakfast) his sausages, ham, eggs and hash browns all tasted horrible. I do not know how this place is even operational. Do not recommend at all!
Returned again great breakfast AND wonderful service. I will definitely recommend.
I dont visit this place often, but when I do - I always enjoy a good breakfast! Their special was a pretty good deal, and the pancakes were delicious. Parking: Parking is free and available right out front, with overflow to the side. Ive never seen it full, but if it is, theres more parking 50 feet away in front of the mall thats just beside it.
Went for late breakfast. Took a long time to get food.
Thus is the Smittys on the South end of Mayor McGrath Dr. In Lethbridge. One of my favourite breakfast places. Love it!
Place was good arrived a few minutes before the kitchen was closing and they still managed to accommodate us food was good prices were good will definitely go back again
Food was great waitress was super cute as well .. great service for a reasonable price
We love coming here... the food is very good and the staff is wonderful. Awesome place and good value for what you pay.
Was not impressed was sat at a table with the window and the window ledge has dead bugs on it. Service was slow not sure if it was because they only had one waitress on for breakfast shift and the food was cold so could even enjoy it. Will not come back again.
Great service just had drinks
Excellent food and good service
Usually pretty good food,service hit and miss
Awesome place staff are very friendly.
Fantastic steak, ok coffee, great environment. Parking: Too hilly, dangerous for older folk due to slip and fall hazard but what can you do? Food : 5/5 |
We love this restaurant and try to frequent it once every 3 months or so.
Food is great especially steak sandwich 9.99 in bar plus cheap drinks and very comfortable
Food was amazing ...staff awsome Wheelchair accessibility: Right at front door plenty of parking available Food : 5/5 |
Very slow service. First waitress took order. Then disappeared. Never saw her again. Had to flag down the other waitress to get drinks refilled and check on our order. Other customers came in after we had ordered. They were waited on served before our food arrived.
Food is good, service is good, nothing extra special. Feels like a place for regulars and if youre not a regular you feel out of place.
Secret , go have a seat in the lounge area! Never busy like the restaurant side , great service ! Food always tasty and coffee hot!
Great place
Very good service and good food
Quiet and good service
We come here almost every weekend for breakfast. Best prices in town, great food, willing to make smaller portions and substitutions to your liking. Coffee refills made quickly. Friendly service.
Very good to eat at very friendly staff
Great food, friendly service.
Off duty staff behind till,mask down talking! Not good when your place is full seniors! Food and service was fine.
I havent been to smittys in years, but went today for breaky with some old friends. Food was great and service was awesome, which is a very rate experience nowadays. Thanks smittys!
Good food, fast service, friendly staff.
Food is a little over-priced for what you get but it isnt bad
Good prices, food wasnt too bad, had to ask for gravy with my meal...wasnt to impressed when day manager was fixing floor sweaper by front counter, while customers are eating. Very unsanitary. This was in Lethbridge.
Very deliciouse food , an friendly service. Not Racist. One of the Best Restaurants in Lethbridge.
Was there for the late afternoon rush. Breakfast was delicious. The food came out quickly once I ordered. The servers were fast to refill coffee.
Loved the food. My order was perfect
Excellent food and great service.
Good food quality service
Very hit and miss menu items. Some food is good quality like the Burgers and Breakfast part of them menu, others tho like the mozzarella sticks wings could be on the pricier side than they are worth. Ive paid for 6 Mozza sticks for 15$ that where literally just hollow great value brand. So just be careful on what you get. Other than that tho its a great place to sit down at with someone for a meal for a low price
Excellent food and service.
Great food and service!
Great tasting food, good service.
restaurant was under stuffed food cold and under cooked would not come back
Convenient location, and was fairly busy when we dined at this Mayer Macgrath location. Payment is done at the front desk, so we had to wait a little as the cashier was also the host who seated us. We got seated with our younger grandkids and the kids menu with a coloring page was sealed in plastic. Crayola crayons were provided, but don t work on plastic! ( no PAPER coloring pages? ) The meal came, food was hot and OK. Unlike the other location in town, KIDS DONT EAT FREE HERE. While it s not the end of the world, having the kids eat free is a real money saver as we are a retired couple.
Service was quick, food was good. Was nice and quiet, easy to have a conversation.
Excellent service by the waiters, very friendly and smiling. The two things that can improve is the time taken to serve and the sausages. They were loaded with salt.
Just good people. Good breaky
Absolutely amazing experience! When we arrived, there were 2 parties ahead of us in line, and people leaving, yet we were seated very shortly. It was our first visit, but we will be coming back soon. The wait staff and hostess were phenomenal. So friendly, enthusiastic, kind, and happy to serve. The menu was impressive, and we got our food quickly. My husband and I hadnt been to a Smittys in a number of years, so this was a great reintroduction to a childhood favorite! Keep it up gang!!
Always a great atmosphere, food is always cooked just the way I like it. Homestyle feel when I eat here.
That was the worst service I have ever experienced. We sat for over 15 minutes while the waitresses just kept walking past not even acknowledging us. New costumers were seated beside us and when the waitress finally decided to take orders, she went to their table first. What a rude, disprespectful thing to do! We walked out and we will NEVER return. Our friend went through the same thing half an hour before we arrived. He will never again return either.
Good food, and great service. Staff were very friendly!
Amazing food as always! It was my friends first time and they said it was way better than expected and theyll be coming back! They got an Eggs Benedict, my other friend got Nachos and they smelled so good! I have been coming to Smittys since I was born, the managers got moved from my location to this one when Center village malls location got closed and the great service transfered over!
Excellent food and service!! Will come back
I use to look forward to coming to Smittys for lunch/brunch...it was good food, good company, friendly waitresses, and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, after last night, will not returning to eat here again. I ordered soup and cheese toast, they forgot the spoon for my soup and only 1 piece of cheese toast. My son ordered omelet with toast but they forgot the jam. His girlfriend ordered chicken ceasar salad, they forgot the chicken! My husband ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries and they looked like burnt toothpicks and the burger was undercooked. For drinks it was supposed to be sprite, they gave tonic water and forgot our drinks till we asked again for them. Then, got the bill and it was just under $80. One would think that the price is reasonable, but paying that price and still be hungry after is just discusting! They have lost our business...and until it improves, we will no longer support this business.
Great service and food!
It has a local vibe, good coffee and a classic menu; when your hungover a good place for breakfast.
Love the staff, food is always good, Smittys has been doing it right for decades, keep it up.
The food was great, the service awesome. The staff went out of their way to not only make the meal cheaper, but they also laminated our vaccination QR codes for us.
The food are disgusting as well the plates and utensils!
High priced but good food and good service.
We love the breakfast here and its right next to our favorite hotel, Surestay Hotel in Letnbridge, Alberta.
Wicked 10 dollar breakfast
Best service. Lowest prices
Awesome service, coffee is always topped up and friendly.
Awesome fries and burger was awesome!
Fantastic staff and delicious crepes. Very afordable large meals.
Ate in the lounge watching the World Series. All good.
Love this place!!!
Good food and service. All day 10.99 breakfast! Awesome!!
