    Middle of nowhere but great place to eat and hang out! Give it a shot if you are in the area. Nothing was a disappointment, everything we ordered hit the spot. Can't wait to go back and try the daily special. Great staff!

    We were heading to Kansas City and found this place right off highway. The best catfish I've ever had. Loved it!

    Pulled pork/ham and two sides $14.99

    Great food, service and fun atmosphere. 4 of us had. KC steak, 2 ribeyes and pulled/ham meal and cocktails.

    Dry rub ribs were huge and tender. Delicious. My husband got the fried catfish and shrimp. Nice crispy batter with soft and moist center. Our waitress was really friendly. We're gonna be back to try the fried chicken which people raves about.

    After being on the water all day, we were all craving ribs. 5 dudes, 5 full racks. An order of onion rings to share and we were very happy. We also all took half a rack home, which was nice the next morning for breakfast before fishing.

    This is the 2 pound cheeseburger my son ate. Perfection on a bun . Juicy and cooked perfectly. Hot pepper cheese and sweet grilled onions

    Waitress dropped off our food and never came back to refill drinks or ask if we needed anything…read more Then the girl that checked us out didn't give us our military discount. When we asked her about why we didn't get the discount she replied "My bad" and answered her cell phone that was ringing!! (This was on 2/26/26 from 12-12:40 pm) We will never return to this restaurant!

    I grew up in Bolivar, and Smith's Restaurant was always one of my favorite places. My grandma used…read moreto take me here all the time, and I loved their food -- it was one of those hometown staples that felt comforting and special. Because of that history, I came in with high hopes, but I left incredibly disappointed. The service was awful. Our server, Christy, was friendly to me but noticeably rude to my husband, which felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. It was such a strange, almost hostile energy at the table, and it immediately soured the experience. Then the food came, and it was nothing like it used to be. What used to taste like good, home-style cooking now felt bland, poorly prepared, and honestly not worth eating. I could tell right away it wasn't the same standard Smith's used to be known for. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. Even though there were quite a few people inside, the restaurant was silent. At first, I thought it was odd, but after tasting the food and experiencing the service, it made sense. People weren't enjoying themselves. The silence said everything. It breaks my heart to write this, because Smith's used to mean so much to me growing up. But this visit left me disappointed, uncomfortable, and sad that a place once so loved has lost the warmth and quality it used to have.
