Review Smith's Hotel - Columbia

Mike Wilson
Hands down the best steak sandwiches anywhere. Not only do they taste great, but the prices are reasonable and the sizes are good, too. Just keep one thing in mind, this is a cash only place; they do not accept credit or debit cards.

Been coming here since I was a kid & I always loved their cheese steak subs! I get mine with no onion & it's great to consistently get my order right! My fam likes their regular subs & cheeseburger subs. Can't beat their prices either!

Known for fabulous cheese steaks and chicken cheese steaks. Very, Very good. Great selection of fresh and fried items, all great. The outside decks are fabulous. Most of the staff are young, eager and friendly. The beer is cold, and the general atmosphere is of an old hotel, which it is, which is a great atmosphere. They used to service local industries, so ask about their history if you're into that. Inexpensive, great quality and a great local feel with friendly people. Jamie is our fav server. You will not have a crummy time, a must-visit place. They do huge beer and food takeout biz. Really great food and reasonably priced.

Had the cheesesteak and onion rings with ranch and a root beer. The service was great with the bartender/server running everything (shorthanded). Didn't catch her name, but wonderful. Sat outside, beautiful day. Great experience for 1st time here. Everyone there agreed as far as I could tell.

Stopped here to get something to eat on a Wednesday night. 1st time I was here in 25 plus years. The place was not busy at all. The waitress was friendly and professional. Service was fast. The beer was good. Ordered the cheesesteak. The large is very large. This is not a traditional Philly Cheesesteak. It was not bad just different. Thought it was odd they charge extra for cheese on a cheesesteak.

when entering the restaurant the waitress told us there is a long than normal wait. The wait was worth it. Food was hot and good, with large portions. The wait seemed short with the good humor of the staff. Enjoyed the atmosphere and social connection.

Our retirement group stopped by on Friday last week for lunch. We all ordered the steak sandwiches with various toppings. Ok! The fries were way undercooked! No good! Service was fine.

My wife and I ordered 2 cheese steak sandwiches for lunch. The first time I ever ordered from there. Both sandwiches were very good. The roll was also pretty good. The ONLY thing that I would have liked different is the sandwich being cut. I ordered a large for myself. The sandwich is about 18" and we took them to the park to eat. It's virtually impossible to eat an 18" sandwich without it being cut. If the sandwich would've been cut, I would have given 5 stars!!

For the last 30+ years this has been the best place for cheesesteaks and cheeseburger subs in Lancaster county... and likely a bigger area than that. Business now being handed down to 2nd generation. As of nov1st '17 they take credit cards!!! I was shocked. Prices are amazingly low for the sizes. Last time I was there I met the owner. Very down to earth guy.

The sandwiches are the best in the county. I drive 1 hour round trip for carryout at this place. Their deck is also nice in the summer. The frozen drinks are very good. Update: Still the best. It's all about the bread and onions and they hit both marks.

Great service and food. If I lived in Columbia, it would be a neat place to go to every day

Smith’s has the best cheesesteak subs around and their onion rings are to die for. Chris and his staff are very friendly and attentive to their patrons. If you haven’t been to Smith’s, I highly recommend it!
Rick Fowler
Excellent food, terrible customer service, the people behind the counter not only ignore you but are rude when you do get their attention, don't bother calling in your order as we waited longer than those that walked in after us, when we finally talked to someone and explained this the guy snapped at us that "Can't you see were busy?!?!" Yea so I really want to review this place a 1 but the cheese steaks really are good, I'll never go back though, good food is not worth being treated so poorly
Nicole Shalee Gillespie
Always amazing food. Service is fast & friendly. They definitely care about their customers. Really awesome prices on subs. Definitely worth the drive over to Columbia if you're not local.
Josh Haubert
Nothing like waiting in a hot ass room for 30+ minutes for our food then receiving a cold cheeseburger sub and cold cheesesteak and rotten smelling chicken because they didn't have the ability to open their eyes to see our order was done BEFORE we even got there.
Brandon Mellor
I don’t want to have to use a fork to eat a cheesesteak? Soggy ass non existent bun. Figure out your business. Been a customer for years, never again.
Edward Showers
Great place to eat they do get busy on weekends worth the wait
Steve Miller
Been going here for more than 20 years, always great food, and great service whether it’s carry out or dine in.
Tim Smith

My son and I stopped at Smith's Hotel today 2/17/16 we each had chop steak sub which was outstanding I took a ham sub along home it was one foot-long for $4.99 really good I will go back many more times in the future as for chop steak The best I ever had beat Philadelphia Pats Gino's
Nicole Alicia Oatman
I had a horrible experience! Being in the food industry for 20 plus years, I couldn't believe the server took my order wrong and then tried to tell me there was cheese on my sandwich? Had to literally show her there wasn't and instead of apologizing and making it right. She put s piece of cheese on it and nuked it in the microwave so long the roll was hard as a rock? Didn't even offer to make another one. I didn't expect fancy, just heard good things about their cheesesteaks. They were horrible! All around bad experience. Don't go to Colombia much , but never going here again.

Service was exceptional. We were a party of 9 for my son's birthday and our server was prompt, courteous, and quick to lend a hand with the candles and extra forks! Thank you Smith's! We'll be back soon!
Todd Rosenzweig
We love it here. Food is so good and also very economical. Staff is friendly and there is a great atmosphere. If your looking for fancy, wrong place.

The food is good . I have had good experiences there until tonight. I don't like to complain but , the soda didn't taste right . My daughter tried coke and sprite , then we asked for a bottle of coke. My chicken steak hardly had any chicken on the one half . I showed the waitress and she said" so you want more chicken "? Yes please. At this point Katie (waitress ) was annoyed and walked away while we were in mid sentence . I was informed by Katie that her boss said that chicken is weighed and I should have been charged for the two fountain sodas we wasted that didn't taste good. As I payed my bill ,Katie said my friend and I were the rudest customers she has ever had. I am appalled by the service we received and the poor management skills. FYI , if you don't have the personality to be a waitress don't. If you own a business learn how to be a professional , handle customers properly .

Size is great for the price. I called and ordered for pick up. When I picked up ten minutes later, food was cold, forgot sauce and large steak wasn't cut and was REALLY soggy...First and probably last visit....I miss bubba's breakaway...Don't defend bad things simply because it's local to you and it's all you have...
Kendra McLain
Ordered a cheesteak let's just say it was all steak no cheese poor food yuck
Mary Kathleen

Always love the cheesesteaks! We have been going before the inside remodel when it was just an outside area mostly. A great place to meet friends.
Nicole Abdal
