★★★★☆ 4.0 Tracey Mack · Sep 2025

Food is good and cooked to order so be patient and allow the time. (Fried chicken allow 30 minutes). Portions are more than enough. Service was very friendly, accommodating and they definitely make you smile. Atmosphere was like a family diner.

Me and My mother came here for lunch it was a great Choice. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and My mom got chopped steak with green beans and Pinto beans. We also got a banana split The strawberry Ice cream was absolutely delicious. They were a little bit slow but thats Because they don’t have much help. Overall, we got a lot of food And the prices were reasonable. We will definitely be coming again!!

Seven months ago, I gave Smileys a glowing five-star review because the food and service were excellent. Unfortunately, that experience is long gone. Tonight’s visit was such a disappointment that I’m removing four of those stars. The food was unacceptable across the board. The mac and cheese tasted metallic with a burnt Kraft-like crust. The fish sandwich resembled a microwaved frozen patty from the supermarket. The fries had zero flavor — no salt, no oil, nothing. The green beans we purchased to take home were so bad they were completely inedible. The only redeeming item was the chicken tenders, which my daughter enjoyed — and that’s the only reason this isn’t a zero-star review. Cleanliness was just as bad as the food. The floor was filthy, and multiple tables sat dirty and uncleared fr

I definitely did not feel welcomed. The owner looked at me as if I did not belong there and asked if I needed something. I mean, it’s a restaurant what do you think? I let him know that I had to go order in which he did not respond. He was very kind to the white lady behind me though. Maybe he is not used to seeing Black people. I don’t even care how the food taste and I won’t be leaving a review on it. The cashier and the lady who took my order was very nice. Edit: No season on burger
