Smitty's Family Restaurant - Port Alberni

Friendly staff and delicious food! As the name suggests, it's a really lovely place for families to come and dine.

Service was fantastic and as always good food.

Always great food

Absolutely delicious, hot food! Very nice staff, attentive and polite service. Such a yummy breakfast 😋

The food was horrific, and my shredded hashbrowns were swimming in nasty tasting grease. It was a grease slob.

Service is iffy at best these days the waitresses when the boss isnt in like to ignore us. Food is always great though.

The wait staff were pleasant and kind….but the first thing you notice when you walk in this place is the intense odour of urine. It’s like a very strong scent of uric acid and ammonia that comes from one source and one source alone, the evacuations of a human bladder. Just absolutely revolting. Maybe a bunch of drunken patrons had peed on the seats over the years and they just refused to properly clean or replace soiled seats. Who knows. I can say that when I used the restroom (which was in a state of utter disrepair and grotesque putrefaction) it was a pleasant respite from the horrid bouquet in the main dining room. The lemony scent of expelled bowels was the highlight of the experience for my nose, besides the moment I walked out into the fresh air afterwards.
The food is very lazily made and corners are cut in such an obvious manner that it could only be due to apathy. Frozen veggies, really? Really? You can get the dishwasher to prep veggies in the morning. It’s not that big a deal.
But again, I say, the wait staff was very kind and welcoming.

Food was great service excellent, staff friendly

Went in for dinner Friday. I had a burger( nothing to write home about) my wife ordered breakfast plate, the ham looked like it was left over from the morning and the sourdough toast never came out. Our waitress never came back to make sure everything was OK. Might have got the toast if she did. Instead of hiring window candy, maybe hire experienced waitresses that know how to treat customers. She did remove the breakfast plate from the bill, but still had to stop at Macdonalds on the way home.
