Smitty's Cafe and Bakery

We came to Smitty's based on a local recommendation and have enjoyed our meals in this unassuming location (pretty cool decommissioned gas station) on both visits. We recommend Chicken and Waffles for breakfast and the Firecracker Burger for lunch.

Service was attentive both times, although it was unclear on our first visit that we should collect our own menus and napkin cutlery rolls before seating ourselves. By our second visit, we were old hats. During our first visit, internet service was down, so they could only accept cash, and it took some time for our server to get to our table.

Prices were higher than expected, especially for breakfast items, but I suppose this is par for the course for our times.

Thankful for the service and delicious meal offerings!

This came up in a search for coffee shops but it is definitely a cafe/restaurant - not a grab and go type coffee shop. The breakfast was a bit pricey - and they were out of major items today (like biscuits for the biscuits and gravy ordered - served toast instead). I give it 4 stars because the service was good. Desserts looked yummy and it’s a cute atmosphere. Maybe better in the evening - looks like the serve a good variety of beer.

Recommended by some locals to go here. We had chicken & waffles and chicken & biscuits. Very delicious. Friendly staff. Worth a stop.

I came here super excited! I loved the atmosphere and the food looked phenomenal. I ordered the country breakfast with a biscuit. After waiting about 20 minutes, the waitress came out with toast. I told her that I ordered a biscuit and she rudely said that they were out and then walked away. I was not offered a discount or anything she just served me the wrong food and expected me to like it. The sausage was good but the eggs were watery, the potatoes were hard and cold. The only thing I genuinely enjoyed was the chicken but it’s still not worth coming back.

Smitty’s is a down home, no frills spot for breakfast. The service was very nice and the atmosphere too, but the food was a little colder than we’d like it to be. I would give it another shot next time I’m in the area. Maybe just an off day!

This place was great . We had breakfast and the food was delicious, wonderful service. It’s just outside town in what looks to be a gas station, but is very cute inside. We’ll be back.

Edit....6/26/22

Came in on Sunday and it was breakfast only due to limited staff..I thought to myself I can work with that because I can still get my chicken fried steak for breakfast. Waited around ten minutes after sitting down before my waitress came to the table. She took my drink order and when she came back with my drink took my food order. Food came out fast but the biscuit was burnt and cold and half way through my chicken fried steak I found a inch and a half black hair under my cfs... at that point I lost my appetite. My waitress never came back to the table and almost 10 minutes after finding the hair had someone else come take my payment. I showed the girl that came to take my payment the hair that was in my food and she only offered 15% off. Guess my waitress was to busy on her phone at the back of the bar.. this place has really fallen off since the last time I was here. Can't say that I would come back again witch is a real shame..

Orginal review

This place is absolutely amazing. The fried pickles and fried Mac and cheese are awesome. The firecracker CFS was to die for. Will stop here to eat every chance I get.

We are visiting the area and our host suggested this for our dinner. It was good food and alot of it for the price.
Service was wonderful!

Excellent place for breakfast in the heart of downtown Brenham. Service was absolutely top notch and everything was cooked to order just the way I like it. By the way, if you like fresh fluffy biscuits and a good hearty cream gravy as much as I do it is a must when you visit! Some of the best I have ever had. Definitely a 5 star place and I plan to return regularly.

This place is incredible. My wife ordered the Ruben. She said it’s the best Ruben that she’s ever had. It was so good she ordered one to go to have for dinner tonight. I had Hanna’s Mac Attack.. it was amazing!! Our kiddos had the kids burger and the chicken strips. The breading on the chicken was very flavorful. We are visiting from out of town, but we will definitely be coming back here next time we’re in town.
