Description

Sudsworks, formerly known as the Back Door Cafe, has recently undergone a shift in ownership and menu offerings, leaving mixed impressions among diners. While some patrons praise the restaurant's cleanliness, friendly service, and delectable dishes like quail and JD chocolate cake, others express disappointment over the limited menu and high prices, particularly for items that lack seasoning and proper cooking. Though the establishment is celebrated for its warm atmosphere and happy hour specials, the varying experiences highlight a restaurant in transition, with some loyal fans wistfully remembering the previous incarnation's charm. Overall, Sudsworks continues to evoke a spectrum of responses from its guests.

I have consistently had great meals at Back Door Cafe. My favorite dish is the quail. Rob and his family have done an incredible job for the past 28 years, and Smithville and the surrounding areas will certainly miss both them and their delicious food and service.
