Mr. Smith's Bakery Café & Catering

I can get all the food groups here. Entree, soup, and dessert. ? I don't love being served on Styrofoam and plastic. But everything is so yummy, it doesn't stay there long. Sadly the trash gets Styrofoam. It's my only complaint.

While the sandwich was fine, it took 45 minutes for a sandwich to be made! A there were people who ordered after me who got their food first so I don’t know what is going on there but that is completely unacceptable. To make it worse, it was a veggie sandwich, we’re not talking about a 5 meat or something else absurd.

The hidden gem of not just Vermillion, but of South Dakota. Definitely best in town, and got to be close to best in state. Always absolute fire!

After seeing an ad in the SD travel guide a few weeks back, we knew we wanted to check-out Mr. Smith's. This morning, we decided to make the 2 1/2 hour drive from Omaha only to discover the location closed despite the Google hours showing they are open. BTW, it's inside a smelly ACE Hardware.

I have ordered multiple times through the website. It is a 50/50 chance if they even notice your order come through. On three different occasions they had not prepared the order. They ask you to wait 30-40 minutes on the website and I have waited 45 minutes to an hour and nothing. This has happened at different times of day, even during slower times. Please do not order online as you will not get your food.

Make sure to check out the bags with your sandwich order. Ordered a French dip, and didn't get the dip. Seriously watch the order.

Try it you will like it.

Awesome food, not so awesome prices. The preorder menu is confusing and vague. A kiosk with order options (with selections limited to product) would solve this.

Parking: Park in the Ace parking lot, then go inside, turn to your right.

Mister Smith's is a staple of Vermillion cuisine. I visited this place almost weekly when my husband was in law school 10 years ago. We were driving through and made sure to swing in this weekend. It did ?? not ?? disappoint ??

Admittedly I haven't started away from the sandwich options because 1) the bread is delicious and fresh and 2) you can endlessly customize. There is a menu of sandwiches but you can also build your own. When you arrive, you simply fill out the sheet of paper with your order and bring it to the cashier to pay.

Some of our favorites: big smith, chicken breast and cheese, club, Southwest chicken wrap.

Dine in has simple tables and chairs off to the side. It can get busy at meal times but the wait is usually reasonable.

You can also purchase a wide selection of breads, pastries/desserts, and pastries. Oh yeah, and whatever else you need because it's inside a hardware store.

10/10 recommend. I go back every time we are remotely in the area. It's definitely one of the best places to stop if in town, and don't forget to buy some bread to take with you.
