Smith’s Catering

We found this place by accident after we abruptly left somewhere else that morning for lack of service. You couldn’t really tell it was open for breakfast by the signage. It mostly boasted pizza. When we saw all the cars in the parking lot early in the morning we checked it out. They do serve breakfast. They had a buffet, the chef made your omelets to order and you can order straight from the kitchen. The food was good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely go there again.

I just got home from Smith’s with my Aunt Uncle and Nonny. Nonny and I got meals off the menu, my aunt and uncle got the Buffet. My aunt shared a small piece of fish with my Nonny from the buffet (which is obviously not allowed) so the hostess or whoever she was (some lady with short dark hair) came to our table with a snarky attitude telling them that was wrong and not allowed. They tried to defend themselves but didn’t really try to argue back with her. She then sat at a table behind me with two customers and made comments about them and how fish is the most expensive thing in the buffet. It was extremely awkward when the two customers continued to stare at our table and very very very unprofessional. Though our waitress was very nice and my dinner was pretty good, I personally will never go back nor will my family. I’m a huge supporter of GOOD local business and this is NOT how you run a business. She should have just dropped it and not made a scene like a child. It was no accident we heard what she was saying, she knew exactly what she was doing.
And on another note when I went home and talked to another local resident, they knew her personally and say she is a «very crude and unsavory woman.»

coffee-​terrible. food-​not good. service-​nice. definitely been to better.

I think Smith’s has the potential to be a great restaurant, but it’s not quite there yet. First, the exterior is a little misleading. There is constantly a handful of cars in the parking lot, but it’s only because most of the parking is behind the building. There is ample room to sit in a seat-​yourself-​atmosphere. It’s not quite fine dining, but it’s not a terrible meal.
However, the service is extremely lacking. Although our server was prompt in greeting us, taking our drink order, but then went MIA for a few minutes before taking our order. Three of us ordered lunch and three of us ordered breakfast items. All three breakfast items came out incorrect. One of us requested egg whites — no luck with that. Another of us ordered coleslaw instead of homefries — no luck with that either. Another ordered scrambled eggs hard — definitely no luck with that. Another one of us in our party (with a shellfish allergy) asked if the chicken was fried with the fried shellfish items. Our server said no, but after he took one bite, he instantly started to feel sick. Yikes!
Our server never really asked us how our meal was and if everything came out correctly (which it did not). While the home fries and the coleslaw taste really good, I can’t say I will be back based on this experience alone. I don’t know how their catering compares to their restaurant, but I can’t say I will be inclined to use them.

Love the home fries.

ive been waiting to see if it wasnt just me, but no, this place is not worth the money.
A lot of old people go here cuz they rather not cook. But when you’re old, taste doesnt really matter.
IHOP breakfast is so much better. Been going here only b/​c IHOP in Randolph closed down. At least try to imitate. The only time I’ve seen a line here to be seated was after Halloween, when the drunks dont want to cook.
I dont know what there suasage is but tastes weird. There bacon is all fat. French toast, ok, it’s like they cut a 2″ slice of bread and just dipped it in eggs. No flavor. if they slimmed the toast smaller maybe the bread wont overtake the eggs. and cant taste the cinnamon that goes with French toast. Their pancakes is gross. Taste like I am eating a cake. No buttermilk flavor. I wonder if the buyer of produce is a smoker cuz the food is flavorless. I’ve also had a turkey BLT with fries. Wasnt bad cuz not considered cooking.
wont eat their buffet. rather go out-​out for dinner. Typlical South Shore local dive. The seats are from the 1800’s. no cushion or support.
They still use Styrofoams. Oh! and the color orange on the walls and still life art prints, priceless!
I’ve been driving to IHOP in Quincy for takeout. Plus, they use recyclable plastic.

I love the food here but the service… oy! Still worth going as long as you have some time to kill.

Went here with my ex back when it opened. Noww the food was great, don’t get me wrong, hence 2 stars instead of 1. They may have still been ‘figuring’ things out because it was only a couple weeks after they opened.
But there was a long hair in the food I ordered, which was kind of very gross. And then my ex’s juice glass had a ring of lipstick on the lip of it. As if it was not washed.
Well hopefully they’ve cleaned up their act, I still have not gone back since.

Today I tried Smith’s for breakfast. I have to say, I got a very good meal! I ordered the egg scramble with sausage, onion and cheddar cheese. It was cooked perfectly and there was a lot of it. I wasn’t a huge fan of the homefries. The homefries looked like a potato pancake (Latke) only, they were plain, no onion. They were a little greasy for my liking. But, several of my dining companions really liked them. My friends got omelets which were huge and looked very good. My friends really liked them. Another bonus to point out, if you want a bloody Mary or a mimosa, you can get one here, there is a full liquor license. I didn’t partake, but one of my friends did.
The service was ok, nothing to write home about, but not bad, either.
I would definitely go back to Smith’s!

Smith’s is a cute family dining establishment that is a hit or miss for either service or yumminess of food. Weekends are busy and service is not so hot. weekdays are a better shot. They serve dinner 3 days a week — the rest of the time is just breakfast & lunch. The older crowd seems to really like this place but I’d rather stay in Braintree and go to Ashley’s for my breakfast out.
