Bill Smith's Cafe was an instant hit. It marked the beginning of a family business spanning five decades and employing three generations of Smiths. Seven mornings a week you can watch the younger Smith whip up a breakfast to equal the one "grandma used to make!" From the beginning the objective was to offer a truly "home cooked meal." All of the cafe's pies, yeast rolls, biscuits and gravy are made from scratch. Chicken-fried steak, for which they are famous, is made from real steak - nothing they serve is pre-packaged! |
