Food was good ol’ home cooking. Generous portions at a reasonable price. Husband had meatloaf, roll, mashed potatoes and green beans. I had grilled chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans and roll. Both were delicious! Save room for dessert, the pumpkin pound cake was very tasty. But, the best part was David! His sense of humor was terrific. Check out WDBJ 7 Hometown Eats to hear their inspirational story.

Food is good and cooked to order so be patient and allow the time. (Fried chicken allow 30 minutes). Portions are more than enough.
Service was very friendly, accommodating and they definitely make you smile.
Atmosphere was like a family diner.

Me and My mother came here for lunch it was a great Choice. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and My mom got chopped steak with green beans and Pinto beans. We also got a banana split The strawberry Ice cream was absolutely delicious. They were a little bit slow but thats Because they don’t have much help. Overall, we got a lot of food And the prices were reasonable. We will definitely be coming again!!

Seven months ago, I gave Smileys a glowing five-star review because the food and service were excellent. Unfortunately, that experience is long gone. Tonight’s visit was such a disappointment that I’m removing four of those stars.
The food was unacceptable across the board. The mac and cheese tasted metallic with a burnt Kraft-like crust. The fish sandwich resembled a microwaved frozen patty from the supermarket. The fries had zero flavor — no salt, no oil, nothing. The green beans we purchased to take home were so bad they were completely inedible. The only redeeming item was the chicken tenders, which my daughter enjoyed — and that’s the only reason this isn’t a zero-star review.
Cleanliness was just as bad as the food. The floor was filthy, and multiple tables sat dirty and uncleared from the time we arrived until the time we left. Service was inconsistent at best, with long stretches of being completely ignored.
For a $40.87 meal, the experience was beyond disappointing.
Mac & cheese: 2/10
Fries: 1/10
Fish sandwich: 2/10
Chicken tenders: 3/10
Green beans: 1/10
Cabbage: 4/10
Bottom line: Smileys has gone from being a standout local spot to one of the worst dining experiences my family has had in years. Even my five-year-old voted against returning. Unless drastic improvements are made in food quality, cleanliness, and service, this place is not worth anyone’s time or money.

I definitely did not feel welcomed. The owner looked at me as if I did not belong there and asked if I needed something. I mean, it’s a restaurant what do you think? I let him know that I had to go order in which he did not respond. He was very kind to the white lady behind me though. Maybe he is not used to seeing Black people. I don’t even care how the food taste and I won’t be leaving a review on it. The cashier and the lady who took my order was very nice.

Edit: No season on burger

The best fried chicken in Vinton! Easy to-go options. Location beside the old Cundiffs.

Quality of food is not the same under new management. The food I had recently from their establishment was ok, not great; they close at 10pm but I got there a little after 8pm and they had ONLY a few small pieces of fried chicken (no other meat), baked beans,, potato salad, string beans, and a hard corner of mac & cheese which they charged full price for. A 3 out of 5 stars is accurate.

I read the reviews and seems good so I tried the food and it’s nasty!!! Meatloaf wasn’t cooked and tasted like cat food … called and told my order was wrong and they wanted to know where I lived what does that matter just fix my food … they must’ve had a staff switch over or something because these reviews does not match the service or the food that I got

We’ve been wanting to try this place for a while & was finally able to. Food was really good, staff was very nice, enjoyed the Christian music that was playing. Pound cake was a little dry but other than that, we really enjoyed everything. Will definitely be back.
