Visited with a big group on our way back home from a nearby Provincial Park. Our server was so polite and helped us with the menu. Despite having only one cook at the time, food came out quick, and it was all tasty. We will be back for sure!

My aunt wanted pancakes for her 75th birthday so we celebrated at Smitty’s last night. They have a great selection of food and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Our server, I wish I could remember his name, was excellent. He was very attentive and personable. Even the owner stopped by the table to ask how everything was. Reasonably priced for the portion sizes, and a nice, quiet atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Came for breakfast with the family, food was the best I’ve had here! I got an omelet (which is hard to get a good cook on at a restaurant) and it was cooked perfectly! We all really enjoyed our food.

We have been here for dinner with my family for first time and it was very delicious. i feel it as hidden gems. I will surely be here again. Service were awesome and quick food was delicious My son loves their milkshake especially.

My worst restaurant experience ever! DON’T ORDER THE FISH AND CHIPS! One piece of Fish came out raw with the batter still liquid. I found out too late! I waited over 30 mins after we started eating to talk to the server to talk about it! I asked the server to comp my meal but they only reduced price of the meal to one piece… don’t go here. Pictures say it all.

Our Kids and Cops Camp had the pleasure of visiting Smitty's for lunch, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! Despite having a large group, our orders were taken swiftly, and the meals were served in record time. All of the kids enjoyed their delicious food and left with smiles and full bellies. We are incredibly thankful for this local restaurant hosting us—it was truly a memorable experience for our camp. A special shoutout to Cindy, our waitress, who went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. She was absolutely amazing and made sure everyone felt well taken care of. We can't wait to return!

I absolutely love the food here! Our server recommended the fish and chips, and it was incredibly delicious. She was very thoughtful and patient, taking the time to go over the menu with my family. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is very sweet and perfect for a family spot. Also the owner personally welcomes our family and all customers at the door. Food is hot and quick service even during lunch time when restaurant is full. We will definitely be coming back!😋

Perfect Home-Style Turkey Dinner. The dish was so warm & inviting & delicious. The turkey was cooked just like home. The stuffing here was a great compliment. Vegetables great as always. The hero here is the gravy because it is a light gravy that combines the turkey, stuffing, & mashed potatoes altogether. So heart-warming & nice. Perfect dish. Love it. Also, very friendly staff. I will always remember this place forever. I love Smitty's Restaurant.

Was a Smittys for dinner with 5 friends tonight. I ordered the steak sandwich cooked medium and Cesar salad. It was the worse meal I have ever had there. The steak was extremely tough and the Cesar salad had tons of dressing and no bacon bits. Was very tasteless. The steak also had a hair in it. Bad dining experience.I did mention it to our waiter biut he just kept working and didnt acknowledge my comment.

Use to be our favourite breakfast place! After the recent ownership change it s just not the same anymore.

I was there this past weekend with a large group. Upon entering, an older lady (waitress) seemed extremely annoyed with our group as soo as we walked through the door. When I asked politely and gave a suggestion she was very rude and disrespectful with her response. I understand that it was a very busy place, but her customer service was non existant. Lucky enough, my family was served by Barbara, who apologized for her colleagues unacceptable behavior. At one point, the rude waitress was taking orders from other members of our group, she seemed annoyed to the point where she did not complete taking orders. We had to ask another gentleman to come finish and take the order. I was even applauded that she was even yelling at our kids to pick up a crayon that was dropped. Upon leaving the restaurant I heard her complaing to other customers about our group. That was uncalled for and rude. Her lake of customer service and respect was appalling. To have other waiters/waitresses apologize for her behavior and unacceptable comments is disgusting. Her customer service skills are non-existent. The food was ok. I ordered a breakfast meal with one egg and the portion of my scrambled egg was SO small, as if it was cut in half. The kids enjoyed there breakfast and I was happy with Barbara as I knew she was working hard to get orders in, at such a busy time. The gentleman that also helped out was phenomenal as well, ase took on our tables when the rude waitress dismissed them. So thank you - I didnt get his name.

Been a couple times and LOVED the breakfast and the donuts! However we came in tonight and stood around for 5-10 minutes waiting to be seated while the lady in the other end of the room completely ignored us and continued to mop the floors. Nobody else in sight. We continued to get ignored until we eventually just walked back out. If mopping is more important than serving your customers Im OUT!

Thoroughly disappointed in my recent visit. I have been coming here off and on since I have been alive and never have I been more disappointed in the service. Sat down 1010 server took our order 1015 by 1047 we still didn t have our breakfast in front of us we ordered an omelette and a two egg bacon breakfast pretty simple order. We witnessed another table of at least 10 have half their food given to them and the other half waited over 5 mins for theirs. Food should be given to a table at the same time not 5 mins or more apart We left at 1047 without eating paid for coffee and told our waitress who seemed very friendly but upset with the kitchen we cannot wait longer. Never in my life have I waited over 30 mins for breakfast at a restaurant. Im very upset and my spouse was too. I hope the owners see this and make this right.

We used to enjoy coming here but now that there is a new owner things are starting to go downhill. Dont get me wrong the servers are doing a great job but are overworked.

August 22, 2024

Waited for over an hour and a half for food, the meals were lukewarm, fries were cold, the service was terrible, paid full price for our meals and we did not even eat them, not only did they not offer us a discount they were rude about it to. Last time we will ever go there, I would recommend you think twice before going there.

Went with a friend for lunch. Stood at the door waiting to be seated for 15 minutes and was ignored. One waitress for the whole place and it was 3/4 s empty. She walked by us and turned her head rather than acknowledge us. So we left and probably will never go back.

Unfortunately, this restaurant in Peterborough, has taken on new ownership. The atmosphere was different today and not in a good way. The new owners, just stand there and stare at you while youre eating and dont help out much at all, on the floor. Also, after speaking to our waiter/waitress ... we were told that hours have been cut, shifts have been cut and many many more chores have been put on the waitresses and waiters on top of all their other chores, because the new owners wont help out. Its sad to see this establishment the way it was today and I know I wont be back. Parking: Very hard to find parking there.

I have visited this dining place of Smittys many times, food is healthy, testy flavors, beautiful presented, cooked to perfection and excellent. The menu offers a great varieties of option with great special dish everyday. Service is outstanding professionalism and friendliness. New young owner is enthusiastic, kind and quick responsive. We were greeted with genuine smiles and made to feel very welcome. The wait staff is attentive with more recommendations and ready to answer any questions. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, perfectly balancing a cozy atmosphere with elegant decor. Lastly, a special thanks to the new owner, who took the time to visit our table and ensure everything was to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Smittys and we will definitely be returning soon !

We went on Wednesday around 3 pm. After our oversized meal we left tried to reenter to make a taxi call & were locked out at 4 pm. That is my only downer for this place. The meals were huge to fit the prices under $20 plus the waitress was top notch. Mozzarella Burger could have used a clam shell for the doggy bag. With an obvious convention or tourists going on at Holiday across the street it is hard to understand why more people dont use it except the 7 pm closing. I go here whenever I am close. Will keep attending here. Parking: At least 24 parking spots tight to the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: All on one level with a lot of table maneuverability. What is missing is push BUTTON entrance. The washrooms need to be bigger with a better floor plan ! The grab bars could be placed better in the one stall or have an extra wheelchair designed washroom.

We were there for lunch today on Father s Day and after waiting over an hour, the food was cold. I got the smashed burger, which came out hot, but the other people I was eating with theirs were cold when it arrived. They had breakfast, bacon and eggs and a Belgian waffle. Someone other than our waiter brought our food and no one came to check on us until we were ready to leave. We told our waiter and he just apologized, didn t offer any compensation or to send it back and remake it. Food should never be served after it s gone cold.

Food was good. Service excellent. However the owner needs an attitude adjustment. My family member didnt like the sauce that came on her meal. We simply and kindly asked the waitress if we could get the meal without the sauce. She was fantastic said okay. Then the manager come out and with an attitude asked us what the problem was and made a young person cry for sending her food back. It could have been handled with tact and diplomacy. It made an young girl not feel talked down to and upset

On Christmas Eve, the family decided to go to Smittys for breakfast before some last-minute Christmas shopping. It is a place we have enjoyed very much in the past because of its incredible service and central location here in Peterborough. However, this time, it was nothing like our previous experiences. This time, not only was our server zooming around the restaurant like a madman, but he was also very rude and lacked the human decency to stop and respectfully respond to us as a paying customer. We sat at the restaurant for almost an hour, only to notice that we were the only table not being served as the other tables (people) had arrived after us and had already received their food and some their bills. When I politely asked how much longer the food would be, I met with a rude, passive-aggressive response, When the bell rings and your food is ready, that s when you ll get it. I was shocked! Not only were we treated so horribly, but he was moving so fast that you couldnt get him to stand still long enough to grab his attention. At that time, my family and I decided it was time to leave and requested our meal be cancelled. He proceeded with ushering us out, but not before demanding we pay for our drinks, which we had every intention of doing! Another server overheard the interaction, walked over, told me not to worry about the drinks and Wished us Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas, indeed. We will not be returning.

Food was sub par if I have to be honest. Got the big xountey breakfast and the canadian bacon was barely cooked. The best cooked and most tasty thing brought to me was the home fries and the toast.

The only Breaky place I trust in the City. Todd and Tanya are wonderful owners and the staff at Smittys are second to none, a very customer obsessed establishment. The food is incredibly delicious and how can you not love All Day Breakfast options? Always an amazing experience at Smittys! Parking: Great location next to Holiday Inn. Plenty of parking next to the restaurant. Restaurant located across the street from one of the nicest parks in Peterborough, Del Crary Park.

Fabulous cinnamon swirl pancakes and omelettes. Kelly was an amazing waitress with over 40 years experience. Being from North Carolina I had not discovered ketchup chips and the owner gave me a bag to try. Yes! I m hooked on Smittys and ketchup chips. Thank y all for treating me like family.

My wife and I were visiting Peterborough and she was looking for a place to eat. She mentioned Smittys, and I thought, I havent seen a Smittys around where we live in a long time. We decided to try it. I had the Cobb Salad. It was excellent. There was only one server on, but it was between lunch and supper so it was not very busy. He did an excellent job waiting on the customers who were there, and we never felt neglected. He is to be commended for his excellent service. I would recommend this restaurant. If we are ever back in the area we would likely go there again.

We ordered Chicken Linguini Alfredo with garlic bread, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich and Strawberry Crepe. The Garlic bread couldve been more toasted, but we enjoyed the dishes overall. The host and server were attentive and personable, which we greatly appreciated. A great place for casual family dining with affordable prices.

Had the pleasure of trying the Cinnamon Swirl pancake at Smitty s, and I was absolutely astounded by the taste. These pancakes are in a league of their own, with a flavor and texture like nothing Ive ever experienced before. Soft, fluffy, and bursting with rich flavor, they easily rank as the best pancakes Ive ever tasted. If youre a pancake aficionado or even just someone looking for an exceptional breakfast treat, this is the place to be!

We were seated very quickly, the bathroom was clean and smelled nice. The food was perfect! Everything tasted so good and came out at the right temperatures. We were a large group of 8 and they did not mess up one thing. The best service as well from a sweet lady with a wrist brace. Checked on us at appropriate timings and was quick. We love her and your restaurant. Thanks for a great time

New edit: August 21/23. We are eating in the restaurant and it was a phenomenal experience. Will, our server was fantastic. One of the best experiences ive had in a restaurant in a long time. Thank you so much again guys, you are great! Well, had a very different experience this morning. Ordered from Uber Eats, delivery driver refused to pick up the order. Todd reached out and was extremely helpful finding a new driver. Needless to say, we deleted Uber and will order directly from the restaurant now. The food was exceptional, and so was the service. Thank you so much, Todd and the smittys team. We will definitely be back!

A great place for breakfast, and, while one more farmers sausage would have me give the food a 5/5, the breakfast itself was excellent as was the atmosphere. The owner not only comes out to say hello, she helps out to ensure smooth, fast service. If Will is your server, the great experience is even better. There are several longtime employees, which says a lot of good things about the place.

Service was Awful, order was not correct, had to wait for myself and sister s order to be remade, while my other sister had hers eaten by the time ours came, Waitress was asked for water and had to be asked again , after a spill of jam on my clothes, she finally remember after being asked again for the water., we took takeout containers after orders took so long, The manager was quite apologetic, and remade our order. but tasted awful.

We were visiting Peterborough for a couple of days and went for breakfast one morning. It was great so we went back for lunch another day. I ordered the Ginger Beef Bowl and expected something run-of-the-mill. Boy was I wrong. Beautiful presentation, wonderful fresh flavor and absolutely delicious. My husband had the Salisbury Steak and gave a full stamp of approval as well. Service was pleasant both times, staff all seem to be friendly - enjoyable visit. Well be back!

My girlfriend and I stopped here for breakfast with the restaurant half full. Our server took our order fast then continued to tell us our food would be right up. Over an hour later he began to ignore us and we decided to leave as we couldn t wait any longer. I was excited to try their food but was horribly let down by the customer service.

The first time we were introduced to Smitty s was just before Covid started. It was a shame that it took so long before we could go back and enjoy the great food and fantastic staff. Absolutely everyone is as friendly as can be, every meal has been excellent and done exactly how you ask it to be made. Crispy bacon, perfectly scrambled eggs or poached to perfection, and on a high note, I just can t say enough about the staff. May this restaurant never have to close for any reason. Thank you all for the way you make us feel like we are part of the family every time we come to enjoy a wonderful meal.
