Breakfast fare was good, anybody that ordered non-breakfast was disappointed. Service was good, and they have old fashioned games for the kids to play while waiting.
We always eat here for breakfast when we are in Osoyoos, great selection, good prices, consistent quality and friendly staff, good for families.
Just popped into this family restaurant on the way through this BC moonscape. In spite of one grill being broken, the staff got our lunch pretty quickly, which was delicious. Attentive waitress, clean tables but slow wifi - I spent about 20 minutes updating my emails. The plate of raw veggies was very good and there seem to be a... more
My husband had à nice steak and baked potato, I had wild salmon, senior portion. No rice, no potato, too little food definitely. What made it à nice experience was talking with waitress JT, à super friendly young lady. Well done you, JT!
Great value and food for the dollar. They were very busy but put through many people quickly. Good place to eat
Not a bad spot - food was ok. Service was very good. It needs a facelift (cracked vinyl chairs). The food was ok, and reasonable costs, however, 1 orange juice and 1 chocolate milk came to $10!!!!!
only complaint...don't sit in the booth close to the kitchen....we did but moved as the table vibrates from the fridge on the other side...ha ha
they need to pull their blinds down to keep out the sun...would help keep the place a little cooler...
my only complaints everything else was great FOOD WISE!!
Ate here on the same day as other reviewers and had a totally different experience. Waitress was pleasant. Had the special and it was good. The next day ate breakfast there and, again, had a totally different experience. Good, friendly service and good food.
We went here with our 3 yr old. We ordered him a waffle and it came out right away!
We got the western skillet and it was amazing! The cubed hash browns were really crispy, the sausage was perfectly cooked - not greasy at all, and the eggs and toast were delicious!
The staff is very nice and professional, and...

We went here for breakfast this week. Took about 20 minutes for the waitress to even stop at our table. Appears that the entire floor was covered by 2 waitresses. It was not her problem, appears to be understaffed by management.
This is a hard one. We took a friend here on Friday night for a 'get away' dinner. She had just moved and, of course, was over whelmed with it all.
There were very few people here, I think 1 table on one side of the restaurant, and the 3 of us on the other. I think I know why........

We were headed out of town and stopped at Smitty's for breakfast. They had a few specials including a 3-egg omelette. We asked the waitress if we could split the omelette. She assured us we could so we ordered the omelette special. The place was busy so it took a few minutes. In the meantime, we had ample coffee. Shortly,... more
Stopped in for breakfast but needed to check emails etc as I was on the road and needed to connect to people. Oh and I was hungry.
Specificly asked about wifi before sitting down.
Ordered breacky and tried the net. It kept crashing everytime I tried to returm an email.
Breackfast arrived and was the same meal I have ordered...

Went there for breakfast. They have a nice sunny patio for the morning, but also some shades that can be roll out. Nice staff clean place.
Very fast food delivery and excellent service.
But they should removed the ugly dusty plastic flower on the patio tables. It's and old looking restaurant.
Their breakfast is better tasting and warmer than Denny's.
Food is aways the same - very good. The service is attentive. It is a family restaurant, catering to family seating and family atmosphere. I like it in the summer, when their patio is open. Sit back and relax with a nice glass of wine and a satisfying meal.
Friday evening is prime rib night. Can't go wrong there. Breakfast,...

Good Service, good food and lots of it. This is one of the many reasons we frequently
go and have dinner there with friends.
this place is super busy! all the tables packed and a line out the door to get in. they had great breakfast, a lot to choose from
but it was busy, so took a while to get seated, to get menus, to get drinks, and food. but that was expected when we saw the line to get in
All around good family restaurant. Very accommodating, good size portions and priced right. Best liver in Osoyoos.
Smitty's calls themselves a pancake house, so listen to the name and never eat anything but breakfast here; been for breakfast often. Good for family breakfasts with kids. A simple, clean, 'busy for breakfast' chain restaurant with consistent
pancakes and waffles. Large portions. The summer breakfast menu is best because it includes the amazing local fresh
fruit. Love the pancakes...

Wow.. This is pathetic .. Service was amazing. Fish was so saugy and greasy, we asked for another one, still saugy and greasy, so I just asked for the bill, well! The owner comes up and said " oh is this going to be another thing on tripadvisor.. " and laughed, I said are you serious. And she was so... more
Horrible horrible horrible went to go eat lunch and got fish and chip it was soggy so I asked for a new one got the new one and it was soggy again so I told them I didn't want it, than the manager Wendy looked at me and my friend and said is this going to be on trip advisory... more
The summer breakfast specials are so delicious. I've had the waffle with fresh apricots, strawberries, peaches, etc. Adding the fruit cup to it made it a very tasty breakfast. Service is always very friendly and efficient. Outdoor patio dining is a bonus during our nice weather!
We were out for a walk on our first day in this very small town. Having walked through the town we decided to go to Smitty's for breakfast. Place was still busy for breakfast at 11.00. Service was good friendly, and efficient. We shared pancakes and added some eggs and fruit. Plenty of coffee and we were advised to have... more
The fruit bowl with our breakfast was the best we have had at any breakfast restaurant in the past 9 days of travelling. The peach waffles were excellent as were the omelettes. Great service, value and we will be back again.
The service was good, food was decent and tasty. It does take a little while to come but at least it was hot and fresh. The fruit that came with my husbands benny was fresh and delicous (nice mixture too with berries, plums and melon). They brought some games to the table for the kids to use and our three... more
I visited Smitty's for breakfast on my first day in Osoyoos. The place seemed presentable and had some character so I chose it over any place else. It was a weekday and was still busy for breakfast, which was okay. After we had been seated, even the menu made this place seem legit, but the waitress and service was all... more
The food was good (better than I was expecting actually) but the service was not good at all- dinner for 5 people ages 2-78 . My father and I were interested in having some wine with dinner and asked to see the wine list (It is licensed and in the midst of wine country). The server indicated we could see... more
The regular Smittys fare was made better by the excellent server. She was great and the restaurant was better prepared for children.
It was very busy when we arrived but were seated quickly. Our waitress came by the table twice to ask for our patience, which was was fine with us. My husband and I both ordered a eggs Benny, mine with fruit and his with hashbrowns. I wanted my eggs done medium and he enjoys his the traditional, more runny style.... more
The host seated us quickly and was friendly, after that it was down hill. Our waitress, even though there was only one other group of people in her section, really didn't seem to care that we were there. She first rushed the ordering (more on that later), coming by 3 times in about 10 minutes. She had a very unfriendly... more
We were travelling with a group of four adults and 3 children. The service was severely lacking. The waitress seemed to not care if we were there or not, and had the personality of wet cardboard. When the food arrived, there was chicken on the vegetarian quesadilla, a hair in the pina colada, the Caesars were the worst I have... more
What can I say? It's a franchise so it's like IHOP or Denny's, it was pretty clean and we were seated and served promptly.
I had a good experience here 5 years ago so we went back and things were very different this time. We ordered chicken wings and spinach dip for appetizers and the wings were cold in the middle. We sent them back and they said they would get us a new order but came back with half the wings that had... more
The food was amazing. The hostess, servers, and busses were all nice. As soon as I got in the restaurant I was seated and asked if I wanted any drinks. I had the honey bbq burger for dinner and it was delicious, so moist and full of flavour. I would go back there again.
Don't have any high expectations here.. Service is alright and the food is a bit better.. If your looking for a typical basic breakfast this is the spot.. On a side note.. The desserts are GREAT!
When Smitty's was recommended to my family we agreed to try it. The server was nosy and washed down the tables with this muddy bucket. When my daughter tried the veggie omelet she sent it back because it tasted cheap and mushy. My other daughter tried their " famous" pancakes and it tasted dry and had a stomachache after. I... more
Went in for dinner with two adults, teen and child. Menu was large but food served was really marginal, plus it was not all that cheap as one would expect. It was food and we were hungry. Basic food out of the freezer, quality poor and boring. Perogies were visibly white with freezer burn - I've eaten at some dives... more
We came here wanting some good hearty breakfasts to set us up for the day and werent disappointed. The previous day we went to a nice cafe down the road but this place was much better portions, food was fine and value for money.
We have been here for an hour so far, right now I'm sitting STILL waiting for something to eat. First we waited twenty minutes for drinks, and it wasn't even from the waitress.... We had to ask the busser. (Who was so rude, and gave us dirty looks.) waitress came after twenty minutes of sitting there, we have no been... more
Always come here during our trips to Osoyoos. Breakfast is great, lots to choose from on the menu. Haven't had a bad meal here.
Went to Smitty's because a couple friends were hungry. I wasn't super impressed: cups looked like they needed a second wash, cutlery definitely did, I found a neon green bug looking thing in my water, the coffee was bland. The good thing is the food came out quick. Dishes were pretty large and pretty decent. Everyone in my group loved... more
While traveling through the area Smitty's was suggested as "the" place for breakfast. Sadly I cannot agree. I had the spinach omelette with pancakes. What a disappointment. It should at least been on a par with Perkins or Denny's. This lacked flavor and body but was edible. The pancakes were terrible. Thick, doughy and tough. I tried to soak them... more
I had limited time for a 'supper break' meal from a conference . Picked Smitty's for it's proximity to my conference venue. The serving staff was surprised by the influx of diners (probably the fault of the organizing committee for the conference) and were not prepared for the extra diners so they were short staffed. Our server did an admirable... more
We stopped in for lunch on our way through town with our kids. The service was very friendly and quick. The food was good as well. I had a Greek chicken wrap and my husband had a chicken ceaser wrap, both very good. We will back again if we are ever in Osooyos.
When I used to come to osoyoos to stay at grandparents house with parents or stay in a hotel wih friends I used to come here to eat the food was realy good I used to come when I was a young boy to eat here. So when I come again I will come here to eat!!!!, THE FOOD IS... more
A great breakfast, personal coffee pot included! Would like to try lunch or dinner...plan on it! Wendy and Wilf run a very nice place!
Food is always good at Smitty's. Ate with friends and had a good meal. Our friend is celiac, and was happy with the potato skins.
We have eaten at Smitty's about 5 times in the last year and a half. The menu suits a myriad of diners, and our favourite is their breakfasts. They have a great variety and the portions are large. The coffee is always fresh and the service is excellent. One waitress in particular, she is awesome, friendly and efficient. It's a... more
Nothing special, nothing fancy. Generally good food, although my last meal was sent back. We've been here several times, as it's a quick pitstop on our way home to Grand Forks. I usually order something fairly light & simple, like a wrap or sandwich. This last time, I ordered a Greek wrap - greek salad, chicken, in a pita-type wrap.... more
you have to be careful what you order because alot of the dinners, (turkey,roast beef etc) are still cold or dry. breakfast is always good, got some pancakes once and they tasted like onions because the grill hasn't been scraped. It was disgusting
