★★★★★ 5.0 Mr Vee · Nov 2025

Perfect late nite stop, much better than the average highway fare. They have a full menu, enough selection to satisfy any craving! We ordered quesadillas and broiled flounder entree. Was huge!! Came with 2 sides and dessert. Unbeatable deal. Florentine omelet is delicious! Erica is the best!! Laura and Chris are awesome too, always take good care of us. Totally cool and recommended joint!!

Came in due to I just got off work, was myself and my finance. Ordered something simple, and yet thee couples that came in after us were served before we received our food. Need to work on customer service and communication.

Smiley's has everything I look for in a diner. Welcoming waitresses, delicious Patty melts, fries, pickles and coleslaw, the best diner coffee and delicious cakes at an affordable price. I love that they're open anytime and we'll definitely be back. I recommend going skating first and then hitting Smiley's after, it's really a great time.

Smileys never disappoints. Every visit has been consistently great, and I honestly can’t think of a single bad meal I’ve had here. It’s exactly what you want in a classic diner—reliable service, an extensive menu with plenty of choices, and usually no long wait for a table. The staff keeps things moving, and the experience feels comfortable and familiar every time. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. You definitely won’t leave hungry. It’s the kind of dependable neighborhood spot you can count on whether you’re craving breakfast, lunch, or dinner. No frills, just solid food and good value. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place, and it remains one of my go-to diners.

I just ate here 3/6/26. My server Kim was excellent, warm greeting when I entered, attentive, personal and most of all engaging. I own a customer service business and she could train for me anytime. Food was good as well. This was my first visit but definitely not my last. C.M.Trower Sr.
