"not for kids"
Suzanne
November 2009 — "I was disapointed as soon as the hostess plopped our menus down at the table by the kitchens swinging doors without a word. The waitresses were very young and totally impersonal. After I asked, the waitress brought my nine-year old niece some crayons with some lined paper to colour on. No pictures to colour in a family restaurant??? Seemed odd. Thank god breakfast was tasty. Wouldn't go back though due to the poor ambiance."

"great breakfast"
Jenny
September 2009 — "This is a popular but great breakfast place. Don't go during a long weekend or you'll be waiting in line for awhile, or go really early before all the tourists wake up!
I usually get their vegetable omelet but this time i decided to try the international breakfast. i wasn't disappointed! it came with french toast, half and waffle, two eggs and two sausages. i really like the french toast because the bread slices are thick and they use a decent amount of eggs. Their maple syrup was fantastic! I'm not a fan of the thicker syrup you typically get in the US.
My boyfriend got the big country breakfast, which he orders almost every time we go (almost every 2-3 weeks...we crave Smitty's on the weekends). He's a big guy and it totally satisfies his big appetite.
The service was friendly as is always. "

"Wow"
May 2009 — "For a restaraunt that does everything from scratch, they are amazingly fast! Although the bulk of their business is obviously breakfast they also have great lunch and dinner!"

"Try somewhere else"
Deb
August 2008 — "We were checking out the tourist attractions in downtown Victoria and needed a place for lunch. We had one child and tweenie and a teenager with us so the choices of where to go were limited based on what they would eat. The menu was extensive and offered breakfast all day so I figured we had all the tastes covered. The restaurant wasn't very big but it was busy. We were seated in a booth at the back of the restaurant. I asked for coloring stuff for the kids but the waitress forgot. I went to the front to get it myself. They had crayons but no pictures, instead they had lined foolscape for the kids to draw on. We placed our order almost as soon as we sat down but had to wait a little bit for the order to come. My young niece ordered pancakes from the children's menu. The waitress didn't explain until we ordered more pancakes that it was cheaper to order by the pancake than ordering the children's menu item. We asked for refills on the drinks but they never came. The toast was barely toasted and the eggs on my daughter's eggs benefict were over cooked. My Reuben Sandwich was soggy and did not have much corned beef on it. My mother ordered french toast. She said it was good but she never did get her coffee refilled. The waitress appeared to have forgot about us and when it was time for us to leave I had to find someone to get the bill. "

"Good Food and Service"
Tara
July 2007 — "Wow, what a busy place this is! We needed to quickly grab breakfast before dropping some family members off at the airport and Smitty’s was close to their downtown hotel. There was a line-up to get in and what we were told would be a 15 minute wait. Turned out they got us a table in less than 5 minutes, which was great. Our server was very attentive, even though she was very busy and she came back many times to refill the coffee cups. I had the Cowpoke Breakfast which came with an egg, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. Everything tasted great except for the bacon - it was rubbery and didn’t have a good bacon flavour. The multi-grain toast was delicious though. My mother-in-law had the smoked salmon eggs benedict and she thought it was fantastic. Overall this was a good breakfast experience. Smitty’s is a standard family restaurant with good service, average food and average prices. I would recommend it and judging from the line-up to get in, it's a very popular place, but I think next time I’m going to try something different. "
