"We've eaten in Smith's often this last year after moving to the area. They have an extensive lunch and dinner menu with a variety of comfort food. The breakfast menu is somewhat less robust, but has the typical eggs, omelets (3 egg), pancakes, waffles, meat, biscuits, gravy and hash brown. They also offer a Sunday buffet, but I didn't try. On Thursday morning we were there before 10 a.m. and could not order our usual chicken meat, potatoes, white engraving, green beans and a dinner roll, which is almost always delicious (more on this later). Instead, she had pancakes with two scrambled eggs on the side and I had a western omelet (with sausage instead of ham), hash browns and a cookie with Gravy instead of toast. A frosty, bottomless glass of sweet teas helped to lubricate the pipes. My meal was, as usual, absolutely delicious. Her pancakes were a bit overcooked, but still very tasteful. The tea is almost always excellent. This brings me back to the previous almost always comment and the reason why I gave four and not five stars. We have sometimes experienced inconsistencies in the quality, quantity and preparation of our chicken meat dishes. There were also times when the sweet tea tasted a little, I guess because the pre- and/or storage container went too long without shrub. We also experienced the rare instance in which our server underlined. However, these events are unusual. And since this restaurant regularly has 100 or more people for serving, and the occasional bus load for a meal during its passage along the highway 13 can not be a small task, the amount of food and personnel required for the demand. Speaking of server, that day, Kim took care of us. Thank you. Johna, who is almost always there, welcomed us like family. We appreciate goodness. Many of the employees have a long history to work here and they make their customers feel welcome at home."

"Stopped in today on the way through Bolivar. Looking for BBQ- it is a small shack, but lots of people going in and out. I could smell the smoke rolling when we got out of the truck. After a short wait to get inside to order only 4 people will fit inside) we chose the pulled pork sandwich platter- comes with 2 sides, since slaw was in the sandwich I chose, baked beans and fries. My husband got the same with sides of slaw and beans. The man working was busy, but didn 't rush us, was really pleasant and when my husband asked for sweet tea, he explained they didn 't have it, but gave us lemonade pink lemonade that was really good) and took our phone number and we waited in the truck for our order- after 15 minutes or so they called. I went and got the order, and the fun began. The bun was jumbo and toasted, the pork was hot,pulled and perfectly portioned, had a great mix of "bark "in it, nice sauce and great crunchy slaw- the sauce and slaw complimented the meat, but did not overpower it, the smoky pork was the star of the show! The beans were hot and had hamburger meat and BBQ in them, the slaw had an apple taste which was very nice, rough chopped with great crunch! Fries were overdone, but I was there for the BBQ. We are both KCBS certified judges and my husband cooked competition BBQ for years. We have eaten lots of BBQ and let me tell you- you want to eat here!!!!!! Drive to Bolivar and get your fix- you won 't regret it!"
