    a burger and onion rings

    Fantastic! Great tenderloin sandwich. Staff very friendly. Great place in Fair grove, Mo. just up from an old Mill that is in a park. Discovered this hidden gem while out for a drive in the area. We will be back soon.

    A bit on the pricey side, but delicious, fast, and friendly. If you want good food without leaving FG, this is your place.

    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.
