👍👍 I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. I kind of expected it and wasn't disappointed. The servers were terrific and kept checking on us. We didn't have to keep looking around. The place was clean, same for the restrooms. We didn't have long to wait for a table for five. Parking was goo... People often mention service, good, great, time, waitress, fries, sandwich,

    I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. I kind of expected it and wasn't disappointed. The servers were terrific and kept checking on us. We didn't have to keep looking around. The place was clean, same for the restrooms. We didn't have long to wait for a table for five. Parking was good. Seemed to be enough spaces for everyone. The location was easy to find and get in to. Very good experience and definitely plan to go back.

    First time here & will be back, so many choices to choose from. Our waitress wasn't all that but food was good, hopefully will have someone different next time!

    Stopped in for some food at 10:30, they were still serving breakfast and had already begun serving lunch. I chose the pork tenderloin sandwich. I did not expect it to be as large as it was or as tasty as it was. I was pleasantly surprised. I was only able to eat half of the sandwich and I took a few bites of the Cole slaw too. All in all, it was good food and a calm atmosphere. There's a high possibility that I will return another day to try more of the food.

    Below average food, water tastes like bleach and small portions for the price but that wasn't even the worst part. The service here was the worst I've ever experienced. The waitress was extremely rude, never checked on us during our meal, didn't bring several items that we ordered and *literally* threw the check to us on our table while talking to other customers. I don't know if she "didn't like the way my friends looked", but it was extremely unprofessional service. Eat at the IHOP across the street, at least they're not discriminatory. Horrible.

    I haven't been to a diner in so long, glad we decided to go here. I had a simply ham and cheese omelet with home fries and oh my goodness I was doing my happy yummy dance in my seat 😆. My friend had a pancake and hash brown also some friend green tomato (which I try for the 1st time and loved) I forgot to take a pic b4 eating but I still got some 😆.

    Very disappointed that we didn't get to eat with wooden spoons. Good thing the food and service was top notch. 👌 would not recommend eating here after major surgery especially if your doctor recommends a liquid diet for 47 hours. Food too good to resist. Side note, my stitches need fixing. Loved the decor and parking was ample. Napkin holders could use some updating. I recommend the Nanco 4500 model.

    I'm from North Carolina here visiting my mom and I found this place and my mom hasn't been but we was not disappointed. The food was amazing! I need this place back home

    I have two friends originally from Indianapolis hear about their Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. As connoisseurs of the sandwich, they wanted to try this one. We went there and all ordered one and they were completely impressed with the taste, the size, and everything about the sandwich was perfect! The french fries were also top notch. Highly recommend this place!

    Got the fried seafood dish. And it was awesome and filling. The crab cake was different than I’ve ever had but I enjoyed how much more crab than filling it was. Everything was very fresh and everyone at my entire table was very satisfied with the food and service.

    This was our first time here, and we will definitely be back again. We ordered the grilled chicken caesar wrap, which came with French fries, coleslaw, and a pickle. The fries were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside with a soft interior. The food was really good, the prices are great. We arrived about 1 hr before closing, and it wasn't busy. Next time, we are going to try breakfast.

    Jessica and Julie are amazing!!! After a slight issue with a reservation, Julie said she would get is right in. Jessica, our server, took our orders with a smile and a fun personality. They both took great care of our party of 10. Food was great but the service was even better.

    We were passing through for a little league football game and decided to grab a bite to eat. The portion sizes were awesome. Plenty of food to enjoy. We tried the Western (Denver)Omelet, Cinnamon roll pancakes w/ bacon, Half biscuits w/ sausage and gravy. For our daughter she had the French toast with bacon. She loved it. If you in the area and hungry. You won’t be disappointed. Give it a try. The wait was super short. However, it did start to fill up to capacity once we got seated. Give them a try!

    Love these Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes that are a special at The Wooden Spoon for Strawberry Festival Week! Will so miss these when the season ends. (lol)

    Tried this resturant on a recommendation of a tourist walking by. It did not disappoint. Server was attentive, friendly and helpful. The food is good diner food. The atmosphere is clean, upbeat and while busy was an enjoyable experience.

    Had lunch there today. Great chicken wrap and delicious fish sandwich. Great service. Returned last night May 20 for dinner. Had their all you can eat fish dinner, great fish. Had a reorder which came out super fast. Darlene was our waitress, very good service . Always checking and refilling our tea. Very pleasant young lady , she could teach others what excellent customer service is all about. You can’t go wrong here.

    6 of us went out for dinner. There was no waiting to be seated on a Friday at 6pm. Prior to going in there was plenty of available parking. Waitress took our drink order in 5 minutes we had our drinks, placed our order and in 15-20 minutes had our food. Portions were all large and the price was very reasonable. Not a fancy high end restaurant but a good sit down family style restaurant. Menu had many choices and we'll be going back. Breakfast menu looked very good and priced even looked better.

    A decent place to eat. Service is great. A lot is going on there. Wing Wednesday. Drinks 2 for 1 Mimosas. Had the pancake platter. Eggs were cooked the way they should be. Pancakes were ok (Perkins are better). Great bacon. Coffee is fair.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stop at the Wooden Spoon for lunch. My husband loved the meatloaf and I loved my cod sandwich with fries. We were able to take our service pet inside and she enjoyed laying under the table “people watching “. The service was excellent and quick. The atmosphere is lively and friendly. I would eat here again. This is old Florida style, casual attire is fine. Wooden Spoon is much larger on the inside than it appears from outside. I’m sure they can accommodate large families if you call ahead.

    We were excited to find a family friendly establishment with decent high chairs. Food was awesome. Service was fast and pleasant. The only reason I can’t leave a 5star is, as a parent with baby and small children….there is no changing table in either the men’s OR women’s room. This simply isn’t sanitary. There really isn’t an excuse in this day and age to not to offer a fold down changing spot. They are inexpensive and there are lots of compact solutions. They offered a kids meal, high chairs and crayons but no place to to handle a little potty break.

    This was my 1st time here and Everyone was super sweet and helpful. I ordered a BLT and fries. Hadn't had one of those in years. Plenty of bacon, yum and the fries were perfect. A turkey club was ordered and looked so good. Will probably order that next time. The soup of the day was yummilicious also. Can't wait to return!!

    Update visit today 1/11/23 Love Julie great waitress. I still go even though had 1 bad experience but still great place! Crystal and I may have butted heads, but have learned she is an amazing person! Love going here but had Crystal as a waitress. Was not very friendly. After food arrived she never came back until she dropped check off. I had to get 2 different waitress attention for refills and Togo box. When Crystal came back for check she said didn't I leave it here. I said yes but I gave to another waitress since she took care of us. You never came back until check time. No apologies no nothing just said ok and walked away. I'll go back but will make sure she is not server.

    Very delicious made-to-order food. Great customer service. Adorable hole-in-the-wall classic Americana diner (unfortunately a rarity to come by nowadays!). Overall great spot for breakfast.

    This place has gone down hill. They're not consistent with their service or food so you never know what you're going to get. My mom's biscuits were hard as a rock, she couldn't even cut thru it and she asked for another one to be made. Dad and I shared pancakes which were like eating straight dough. I like doughy things but it was sticking to the roof of my mouth making it hard to swallow. The manager Julie, was very nice though and took care of the bill. The two stars are for Julie and our waitress who were very kind people.

    We went here when it first opened and were not very impressed. Went again recently and it was spectacular. Great food, wide selection, fantastic service. This is our new breakfast spot in town.
