If you are looking for a spot to eat. You gotta try Smitty's Better Burger! This place is a wonderful food jewel you don't want to miss! 1st service fast friendly and outstanding! 2nd, my meal was freshly cooked to perfection. I had a 4 piece white meat chicken dinner with coleslaw, crinkle fries, and a dinner roll. I also had a flounder sandwich, a Superburger w cheese, and a side of chili cheese fries. And lastly, the price was very reasonable. Bring your family and come with friends you won't be disappointed!

Really great place and food... although I ordered a burger and it never came out... I even double checked if it was coming out. I've been waiting out her for 40 minutes lol.

Stopped by while on a work trip and couldn’t believe the prices, was greeted by a worker I don’t remember her name but she was super sweet and helped navigate the menu. I ordered the better burger and I wasn’t expecting much but the size and quality of the burger was amazing. It was massive and the flavor was great
