Awards & Recognition

Throughout the many years since Smitty's Grill opened its doors, the restaurant has been decorated with a number of awards and recognitions. However, we unanimously agree that the highest honor is the striking loyalty of our patrons. Our deep gratitude to our many friends new and old has always been a large part of our motivation to give back to the community we call home.
