Haven’t visited the Smithville since covid. Went back, really great meal and service. Chicken pot pie was big as a football and stuffed. Fish was seasoned perfectly and the “sprouts” as a starter hit the spot!

Attended our annual UNICO Christmas party toady at the INN. It was so beautifully decorated for the holidays. A roaring fireplace going and snow laden trees was the view thru the large picture windows on one side. Breakfast and lunch fare with the best bread pudding and fresh coffee and teas. A definite for any special occasion.

The restaurant/inn is located in Galloway, New Jersey. They prepare American cuisine. It was originally established in 1787 and is a National Historic site. They previously were a stagecoach stop. The restaurant/inn expanded through the years and was eventually closed. In 1952 it was renovated and is currently a popular destination. We ordered fried calamari, chicken pot pie , salmon and a pork chop. The food was well-prepared and tasty. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Came here for my four year anniversary with my husband. Food was absolutely delicious and the portions were massive. Highly highly recommend the French onion soup. It was so good! Service was also wonderful. Our server, Alex was extremely polite and attentive. We will be back!

Went there recently for a wedding. It was a killer time, I liked the food but I didnt love it. The first night I had the filet mignon, and the sauce wasnt great at all, my wife didnt like it either. The second night I had prime rib which was a lot more enjoyable.(I know in my case its more about the wedding less about the food.) Loved the location and the atmosphere my family had a great time either way! The service was very prompt, helpful, and delighted to be there!

MAKE RESERVATIONS! Historic landmark restaurant with great food, drinks, and service. Located in the shopping village of Smithville so plan to spend some time walking the village before or after your meal. Weekends offen have special events and Christmas the village and lake are decorated beautifully. The restaurant also hosts wedding and special events. We booked the "Moss Mill Room" for a group of 25 for my wife's birthday and it is now a special family memory that our family cherishes.

Love Historic Smithville & the Smithville Inn! Great food. Beautiful atmosphere. The french onion soup here is epic!! Steak was decent and mashed potatoes were good but the broccoli was not good at all (over charred/dry). My experience was overall great but I have to say the food is significantly better when I attend an event or party here rather than just coming in for dinner.
