- EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley Furniture HomeStore are teaming up every week to bring you some good news during Feel Good Friday!
We want to thank people in our community with random acts of kindness and leave you feeling good.
Recently we received an email from Julie, a woman who had a special experience at Smitty's Pancake & Steak House in Idaho Falls. Part of it read:
My mother-in-law has Stage 4 lung cancer and is entering her final stages. One of her bucket list items was to have a family get together at one of the few restaurants she enjoys eating at.
She wanted to go to Smitty’s Pancake and Steakhouse, so we called in advance to see if we needed reservations for our large group. The young girl on the phone told me that normally they don’t take reservations on the weekend, but would do everything they could to get us seated as quickly as possible.
When we arrived the girls at the counter made us feel welcome from the start and made sure to inform the manager that we were there and what our request was...Our server was Maddie - a young lady with a great attitude. She kept the coffee flowing the entire time we were there and cheerfully tended to additional requests promptly. Although we couldn’t see the kitchen crew, we knew they were working hard to not only fill our orders along with all the other orders coming in.
The entire staff worked hard to not just treat us like we were the only ones in the house, but the other customers the same way...Between the good food and the service we received, mom’s day out was a success and she wants to be sure that others know how Smitty’s, the owners and staff, made her Bucket List Wish memorable.
We agreed with Julie and decided to thank Maddie for her kindness. Watch the video above to see the surprise!

PasadenaSue Your welcome!!
In today’s time, we need more people to be more caring and loving toward their fellow men/women. Everyone wants to dwell on the negative but it’s nice for those of us who want to see more positive things in the news.
To Maddie's mom and dad....job WELL DONE!
Sweet! I love the customers listening and smiling as they thank Maddie. Thank you to all the staff at Smitty's who helped out. Support this caring restaurant!
We need more people like both of them: caring servers and appreciating customers.
God bless them and God bless us all.
Love from India.
Sweet girl. The people are so nice in Idaho !
Service is an emotion! You never know who you inspire! Thanks to Maddie and Ms Linda and their family for both sides of the coin! Heartwarming! ❤ God bless you All!
She's going to be a tremendous nurse!
A sweet young woman. Go be a wonderful nurse
That's a tearjerker right. Videos like this is why I'm subscribed t your channel even though I'm on the other side of the Country.
That one really made me cry. Maddie will make a wonderful nurse.
Maddie you are AMAZING. Mr Eaton you always make me SMILE. Bless you all. What a lovely family for being so kind to Maddie. Thank you Ashley furniture also. 🙏👋😚💟
I love how she spoke on how people always talk about the wrong that people do but not the good and that she wanted to recognize how amazing of a job their server was and how it made their moms day and days after.
I love kind hearted, good people!
God Bless everyone involved here.
Sending prayers... 💖
Matty will make a wonderful nurse! Love this story.
That was absolutely the tops, Maddie you will really go far in your nursing career like you said it is in your blood, thanks to your parents who raised you and instilled in you a love for fellow man and woman
Such a beautiful gesture! I always envy waiter/waitresses. I tried once but got too nervous, and I gave up! These people do make difference!
What a sweet girl; she is going to make one fantastic nurse! Did anybody else notice that the man at the table closest to Nate smiled through the whole presentation? He could hear what was being said and I have a feeling that he has the same things to say about Maddie. Prayers for Linda and all the people who love her so much.
Awesome waitress 🌹🌹🌻💞🌻💞💞💞🦋🦋
What a wonderful nurse she’ll make!
Maddie❤️❤️❤️❤️. I pray for the best for this girl too, and of course I will be adding a special prayer for Ms Linda💕
One year ago .... I watched this and commented and now it is back in my stream. Well ... This young lady will make a great nurse someday!! 🙏🙏 Seeing Nate fumble thru his pockets is hilarious!
She will be a great nurse!!
Please keep doing this. . .the world need more feel-good days! And the people who affect our lives should be recognized.

I'm a misanthrope but I love these videos.
I don’t live in Idaho but I just love watching the Feel Good Friday segments! There’s so much negativity that gets publicity but watching your segments brings so much joy to my heart! Much 💙 from Texas!
Yup me too in Alaska

I love how secret Santa has inspired others to step up. I've seen a few of these videos that involved people outside of SS, and I think it's just wonderful!
Yaaaaaaaay Mattie!
Maddie, you are so beautiful inside and out! Where can I find a woman like you?
Lovely
I think Maddie was 1 of my registrars @ UCLA Medical Center Maddies Room for my surgeries & heart catherizations. There is a room in her name(even, though Maddie is still living on this planet), but works so, far, as a waitress in Rexburg.
😍🙏😭
😭💚💚💚
The room is called Maddie's Room.
That's tough for a server. Is there a special occasion?....ouch!
I think Maddie knows who I am.
Back in the day without masks
