I ordered a club sandwich. The taste was great kettle chips as a side. Portions on both were generous, I took half to go. The server was efficient and prompt with extra napkins and ice. From their bakery I bought an apple turnover to go. I'm very satisfied with the entire experience.

Used to love the Ruben Sandwich here but it was awful today. Bread looked like pumpernickel instead of rye and hardly had any thousand island dressing, what was there was absorbed by the bread. I called to let someone know with the hopes that they would make us another that was better, but no. She just said sorry it wasn't up to my standards. I will not be back again, very disappointed.

Terrible, not sure if they had a bad day or whatever. But all the staff but the hostess was moody. Food was absolutely terrible. Got both our order completely wrong and the hush puppies were not cooked properly. If you want good food go across the street to "Taste of Smithfield" this plas needs to get some pointers from them. Never going back.

Extremely kind staff and a well-maintained establishment. Super fresh food, cooked on the spot, and to perfection! Each meal tasted excellent, there is not one complaint from our visit. The muffins, cinnamon rolls, and especially the Boston cream muffin all look amazing - the muffin tastes like nothing I have even before - just a splendid visit! We will be back very soon!!

Rode past this establishment a few times and finally decided to stop for breakfast. Not a good first impression when they are out of the one thing you ask for. Definitely disappointed and won't be going back.

Just had a 3 egg cheese with spinach omelette, toast, bowl of fruit and coffee.... total price with taxes included $15.69... the egg omelette was excellent as well as the toast which was honey almond. Come in and check it out when you're in downtown Smithfield....

Visited from Connecticut and the service was excellent and the food was excellent. I would definitely recommend, the bread was awesome. I could not bring any home because they ran out. ?

Everything was well seasoned and portions were perfect. Only thing I would change is just a little bit crispier fries. But that is just personal preference. Reuben was awesome as well as onion rings.

We all got the chicken salad sandwich which was simply great. The sandwich had a good amount of chicken salad . The chicken salad had a lot of chicken in it and not overly mayoed. Definitely would order again

Waited at leat 35 min to be seated but for good food and service,, that's fine... Food was ok, not really worth the wait. Food (quiche) was delivered cold and coffee refills were very late. Serving size was very small... wasn't looking for something huge, but it was really surprising. Was a bit disappointing.

Very nice little cafe. The lemon meringue pie was great, as was the quiche of the day - ham and spinach. A little pricey, but good.

Absolutely best Birthday cake you could imagine. Taste was superior. But the decorating should be a museum piece. Intricate flowers.....definitely NOT the usual "flower". Tiny and intricate. So much detail. Just exquisite! Staff was soooooo nice. And the decorator was so extraordinary. I can't say enough about this place. Go!!!!! You will not regret it!
