    Grandson and granddaughter came to breakfast with me after my Dr's. appointment. They had a pancake that resembles Mickey mouse, scramble egg, and bacon. As for me l had two eggs over medium smoked sausage and hashbrown. The food was adequate as was the service. There is plenty of parking available as well as wheelchair accessible entrance and parking.

    The diner was at or above capacity, with a line of people waiting. We made the mistake of going out on a holiday. The food was ok, bathrooms were not bad considering how many people were there. We have been here on weekdays and the food and service were much better. Bottom line: We will go back during the week and enjoy better service. Had a western omelette and the Dad Plate, which seemed to take an inordinate amount of prep time.

    Cassandra made our first visit to this very charming Cafe a delightful and delicious experience. Everyone was ready to fill up your coffee or just give you a smile. Excellent teamwork, place is clean and I am sure happy about wolfing down my favorite Reuban sandwich. Made our day special as I learned I had a huge brain tumor that is doomed to send me to the great beyond within 6 months. So I will be sure to stop by again and bring you my gift. I am glad to have met you ❤️ and you are going to get a lot more business. So you better save me a table. Love Julie and Tom.

    We went on a Sunday. There was a wait but was not too long. Our waitress Kassandrae was AWESOME! She was very attentive. The atmosphere was great! The employees were friendly. They have tables for indoor or outdoor eating. I would visit this place again.

    I really enjoyed Wooden Spoon. Staff is very friendly, food and prices were decent. Creative menu. The breakfast food was not super tasty the first time I went but I went back a second time and had the crab cake Benedict!!!!!. It was delicious!!!!!!A must try! They have mimosas but FYI they are not bottomless on the weekends. Only M-F.. I have attached a few pictures of my meal. I believe with 3 mimosas and a boat load of food, my visit came to $30. (SN: If I could change one thing it would be the front door. Weird I know but when someone comes in the door it slams. It is sooo annoying! )

    I looked up the best place to have breakfast in Tampa and this place was recommended. This cinnamon roll pancake was heavenly. It was absolutely delicious. The bacon was ok but the mimosa and the coffee were excellent. Service was very friendly and fast. I went by myself but felt very comfortable. It is one of the best places to have a excellent breakfast.

    We came from Northern Virginia and found this place on Google Maps. It was spot on!!! We love their food and selections. Prices were great. We want to thank Chrysti for her great service, her awesome kindness, and beautiful personality. Thank you for truly making us feel like home. Thank you also to Juanita for your great welcoming. We will be back soon. I truly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

    I order takeout from this place quite often and it's extremely frustrating to have not a single website or menu updated with the correct prices. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck right now and have to account for every penny. How difficult is it to scan a copy of the front and back of your current menu so that patrons can know how much they're going to be spending?That's the problem these days, businesses just don't care. They'd care if people stopped patronizing their business though. Also, the staff for the most part is extremely rude. The lady that helped me today was an exception. They all seem miserable in their jobs and aren't interested in being helpful at all. I don't think they deserve my business any longer

    The Wooden Spoon has been our go-to after Sunday mass for a while now, and we love it! All of the staff is very kind and knows our orders every week. Johnnie is usually our waitress, but everyone is very kind. They are fast and the food quality is great!

    We went here for the first time today for Sunday brunch. We were greeted with a welcoming smile , very friendly hostess who promptly set us outside as we requested. Our waitress Amanda was exceptional. Warm, friendly and professional. She explained a few items that weren't on the menu ... specials. I got the Boston Cream Pie french toast...I highly recommend very 😋 with a side of bacon and over easy eggs. Perfection 🥰 other in my party ordered the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict .. was scrumptious and an Egg with bacon and cheese sandwich. Everything was great We will be back Thanks Amanda 😊

    Great little diner style place in Lithia/ Brandon area. Service is great, more places need this level of staff. Food is traditional American and tasty. Get here early as it can fill up quick!

    Great breakfast place! Friendly service and good prices. Love the biscuits and gravy. You never leave hungry. Hubby enjoyed his meat omelet and grits.

    Really good diner food at a great price. They had fun specials as well that change regularly. The server was excellent and very friendly.

    Came in first the first time today. My server was Jackie and she was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great dining experience. Also the kitchen was very accommodating as what I wanted wasn’t available on that specific day. Food was delicious. I will definitely be back.

    Small place so you may have a little wait but it's very much worth it. They have some unique meals that you won't find anywhere else and everything is delicious! The service is great as well.

    Lunch: Love this place for breakfast. Today I came during the noon lunch period and ordered the 8 oz burger and fries medium, hold the pickle and slaw, add cheddar cheese. Unfortunately I had to send it back because there was also lettuce and tomato on it (the menu did not mention the lettuce and tomato). I tried not to be too picky, but as I explained to my server I just don't like tomatos or buns with tomato juice on them. 2nd try was closer. New cheese burger albeit closer to well done than medium, and the fries were barely warm. My server was very nice.

    Delicious food, friendly service, great atmosphere! Can't recommend enough! We ate breakfast here and we were so impressed with the service and delicious food! Mitch was our server and was friendly and helpful. We got the specials - Philly Cheesesteak omelet and the key lime French toast. They were both amazing!

    The eggs benedict was not poached the first time around so they had to redo it. It is a bit of a cramped atmosphere. It made it feel like they were just trying to get as many tables as possible even if the seating was too close together. It took a while for the food to come out. It is decently priced for what it is. The breakfast food was underwhelming. Maybe there lunch/dinner menu is better. We will not be going back to test the assumption.

    Great little breakfast and lunch place in Valrico. I got a simple sunny side-up egg, toast and grits but it was yummy. My dearest got the Crab Benedict on sausage patties and buttered english muffins smothered in Hollandaise sauce. It was decadence for less than 15 bucks. Our server, Kassandrea, was absolutely lovely. Friendly, funny, and extremely attentive. Definitely will return to see what they can do with lunch!

    Hidden Gem Alert!! Love how family owned cafe diners still exist! Service was friendly from the time we walked in until the time we cashed out and left. Had an amazing brunch before I dropped my significant other off at the airport.I recommend checking out, if in the area!
