LOVE the Fat Spoon Cafe for Breakfast! Eggs perfect as is the grits and biscuits! Service is Excellent!

I go for breakfast almost every week. Lunch every now and then. Very consistent and very good. I've had a lot of different things here and I've never been disappointed. I can recommend the biscuit with roast beef and I add a fried egg. I also reccomend the eggs nola. read more

Beignet fries, boudin omelette and debris grits are some must haves here! Good food. Nice diner vibes.

This was such a perfect brunch spot for my husband and I to meet a friend. Food was delicious, and quick. Service was phenomenal, and the whole feel of the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

Great find. I had the eggs sardou delish. Great service cool little cafe. Full bar if you like a bloody Mary with breakfast Going to combat for the po boy! read more

Decided to try out a new breakfast place (Liz's and Crazy Pig are my usual breakfast joints). I was greeted and seated promptly. Then it took about 15 minutes for a waitress to come on over. Seems like they didn't know who had my table. No worries... I wasn't in a hurry. I ordered the eggs Florentine with potatoes and English muffins. Overall, pretty good. Loved the grilled English muffins and potatoes. The spinach topping to the eggs was a little heavy, but ok. Wouldn't order that item again. I probably won't be adding this to my usual places, but it's fun to try something new. read more

It's not all the time that you get good conversation from the owner asking if everything was ok. Great service and the food won't disappoint! read more

Whoa! These folks have the best darn grits I've ever had! They are creamy and smooth and such a treat. Every staff member is extremely warm and very attentive. I'm a sucker for customer service. The location is right off the highway. Just be sure to make the correct u-turn. There are a lot of u-turns right before the correct one to get to this restaurant. read more

First please know that I love breakfast diners and that was what I was in the mood for. The pluses are that the food was good and the menu plentiful. The minuses were speed of service and accuracy. Generally a square open space simple place. Looks clean at first - the bathrooms are however not. Think truck stop massacre. That to me is never a good sign. The service up front was good. The hostess pointed to the table of the full place and said go sit over there. The waitress took or order... And then the wait began. It lasted. When you thought it was over it continued. Until it was time then we waited more. So then the food arrived to the table next to ours. Anyway fast forward. Our food hit the table like a bullet. The over caffeinated waitress decided it was time to make up time by making me rush through the arrival of plates. Mine was accurate my wife's was missing the cheese. Not enough to complain but enough to be meh. The coffee supped up waitress came back and a direct quote without a breath between syllables was "everythingokgoodhappytohearbye" Bill came. 26 for two. Not bad. So if you are more patient and forgiving than me you will like it. read more

I really wish I would have realized this was just another location of The Fat Spoon on Hwy 59 in Mandeville. I'm not a fan. This place is Expensive and the food is not great. My breakfast consisted of 2 eggs, sausage, potatoes, a biscuit and a side of gravy. I ordered the eggs over medium. What I got were eggs that were not even over easy. They were not cooked all the way and the whites were runny. Gross. The biscuit was cold, the gravy was also cold and did not taste that great. Plus they don't give you enough to cover your biscuit. The potatoes were ok but I prefer hash browns which you can't get here. My breakfast was over $10.00. That's 2 eggs, sausage, potatoes, a biscuit and side of gravy. I drank water. A coke would have been another $1.99. I could have gotten the sampler at IHOP that comes with 2 eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns and a stack of pancakes for $8.99 which is what I will do from now on. Plus it's much better. read more

Ordered the club with onion rings instead of fries. It's a $2 up charge. No problem, except that when I got my food it had 4 onion rings, cold not very good onion rings. The club was just mediocre. read more

Went to breakfast for the first time at the Fat Spoon. Clean decor with friendly staff. Fast service as well. Had the pork meat pie with eggs and a biscuit. Almost ordered the toast but waitress recommended the biscuit. Great choice. Ordered some gravy on the side. I will definitely be back. read more

Fat Spoon Cafe - Good decor - American Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Omg the food was delicious and they gave lots of samples prior to me getting my order just right!

Fat Spoon has been going downhill fast. Cold and greasy bacon, soupy eggs was not pleasant. I've brought concerns to management and surprised that they were unreceptive . I keep thinking they'll get back in gear but no. So sad! Big disappointment. read more

They have great breakfast items. Haven't eaten anything on the breakfast menu I didn't enjoy yet. My son loves the beignet sticks. However, the burger I had today, not so much. I felt it was very under seasoned, and tasted more like meatloaf than burger. The staff is very friendly and the dinning area feels comfortably open. So for breakfast, thumbs up. The burger for lunch, meh. read more

This was our 2nd time eating at the Fat Spoon. We ordered the Ruben and a club sandwich. One had fries and the other had onion rings.. the onion rings are a $2.00 up charge, for 4 huge rings . Our sandwiches were very good. The prices are a lil high tho.. the service let's just say it was OK. read more

Fat Spoon Cafe - Yummy. The Ruben - American Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Weirdly ok! In an old Pizza Hut , decor is kind of 1980,s contemporary. Service is spotty, some great some could care less! Food is regular uninspired options that taste very pre made, probably lost things are from Cisco food services, pre prepared and ok but not great. Case in point is chicken fried steak, its ore breaded and just dropped in a fryer. I'd say don't bother. read more

Good food! Great service. We had the bananas foster waffle...it was ok (I wouldn't order it again), and the Crawfish etoufee omelette (it was really good). The beignet sticks we're good too. Glad we stopped here fir breakfast! read more

The food here is fantastic. I am not sure why they don't tout their biscuits more!!! They are amazing. The staff is super friendly and before you finish your first meal here-they will make you feel like a regular. Cannot wait to return to the area to go back and indulge again!! read more

This is such an adorable little diner! We went this morning, so luckily it wasn't busy at all. Jessie brought us our coffee and stopped by to say hi, but our waitress was Christy. She rocks. She was super friendly and attentive while not breathing down our necks the whole time we ate. OUR FOOD WAS SO GOOD! Mark had an omelet and I had biscuits and gravy - pretty basic, but it's totally worth the shout out. I'm pretty sure we'll be regulars by the end of summer read more

We have had breakfast and lunch and this place is fabulous. An old fashion diner with fresh ingredients. For breakfast we had a little bit of everything. Eggs. Sausage biscuits and gravy. All were great. Great grits and great corned beef. For lunch we had a chopped steak and gravy and a burger. Man was it good. Great food at a great price. The service was friendly and Jessi made us feel at home. We will be back read more

We were out running errands and decided to stop in for a late lunch. What a nice surprise!! Don't let the non-descript exterior fool you. The interior is nicely redone with stainless steel tabletops and comfortable chairs, flooring and light fixtures are great looking too The shrimp po-boy was amazing. Way too large For me. So I brought half home. The shrimp were nicely hand dipped before frying and the French bread was a bit like a sour dough bread, and toasted and very crunchy and great as a po-boy. My husband, who grew up on the east coast, had a very authentic and delicious Ruben. He said it was like one in a NYC deli---heavy on corned beef. My side salad had delicious homemade dressing. My husband's extra large portion of French fries were calling my name. So I had a few. They were hand cut and very crispy. The wait staff were all very friendly and quite nice-they told us about their amazing breakfasts. We will be back... read more

Great breakfast! Got the 2 egg breakfast and eggs were cooked perfect, good potatoes, sausage and toast. They have done a nice job finishing out an old pizza place. It's really cute now. Great service! The owner is so personable. He always comes around to all the tables checking on his customers. Where do you see that anymore?!!! Place gets an A+ from me! read more

Great breakfast place! Have been a few times since our move here. I really like the Cowboy omlette (ham, onion, cheese). Along with grits and a biscuit, it's a lot of food! read more

I have been here for breakfast a few times. The food is always good. They have the best biscuits in the area. Ask for your biscuit to be grilled. You won't be disappointed. read more

Fantastic experience. Friendly service was quick. Big portions & tasted delicious. Might be my new go-to place for an omelet.

Update: This is still our go-to breakfast place in the Mandeville/Covington area. They have THREE locations now, so go check them out. It'll be some of the best food you've ever eaten. read more

I am from New Orleans and was in the area for business and I was craving breakfast for lunch. I came across this place on Yelp and I am so happy that I did!! I got the garden omelet and it was delicious! The waffle had to be the be the most perfectly cooked waffle I have ever had in my life. Top it of the service was impeccable!!! Ashley was tentative and sweet and everything came out hot! I will be back!! read more

Loved it! Great food. Good service. Shop and ear local! Had eggs over medium. So good

The foods is okay . If you like a New Orleans type of PO-BOY than you won't want to order a sandwich. The bread is ltalian style and doughy. The shrimp are not cooked crispy like most fried shrimp. The gumbo is good for a diner. I wouldn't order either item again. I have had a salad which was very good. read more

This place is awesome. We got our food very fast and it was superb. The owner is very nice and actually cares. The staff is hard working and friendly. We will return. The food was amazing. You can tell that the cook takes pride in what he's doing. Thank you so much for the great lunch! See ya next time. read more

I was here for lunch today and ordered a shrimp poboy with a side salad. The salad was average but the poboy was fried shrimp on a toasted French bread. Nothing else. I found it very dry. I had to yell at the server every time to get her attention and she never asked if we liked our food. I wouldn't come back again. read more

I love getting breakfast food here. The omelettes are the best and the grits are delicious. I am a breakfast person, but my husband likes the Cuban sandwich and the grilled shrimp dinner is good.The people who work here are always nice. It can get really busy but it is worth the wait. read more

Great! Second time I've been and I have no complaints. Breakfast and lunch are amazing. First time I had a fried shrimp plate with fries. The shrimp are HUGE and so good. My fiancé had breakfast. And his also was really good. I can't wait to see what's on the dinner menu when they open on Friday and Saturday. Definitely a better choice for breakfast if you are looking for something that is awesome and filling. Had a shrimp Caesar the second time and I have to say that I'm beyond full. Fiancé had a bacon cheeseburger and that also was really good. Everything tastes so fresh and the waiting staff are amazing. Very friendly and quick service. Has a wonderful atmosphere. One of my new favorite restaurants. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Fat Spoon Cafe - Caesar salad with fried shrimp. AMAZING! - American Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Fantastic place for breakfast! Our server, Jessie, was so friendly and accommodating and provided excellent service. The bacon was the best I've ever had! The eggs and fresh home style fries were equally exceptional. Prices were great as well. Will be back soon! read more

I'm going to come back to try their breakfast sometime, but today, I had a cheeseburger. Now, I realize you can get a cheeseburger anywhere, but, I could tell that the burger patty was handmade from seasoned ground beef-- it was NOT a frozen pre-made patty. And I could also tell that the bun was very fresh, and possibly homemade. The sauteed mushrooms on the burger were obviously fresh. My server was sweet and pleasant. Next time I will try the breakfast. Another reviewer commented that he could have gone to IHOP and got a cheaper breakfast... well probably, but it's IHOP! You get what you pay for! read more

Great experience! The first impression from the outside is "ew"... as it is in an old Pizza Hut building. Once I stepped into the restaurant, there is nothing but good to say. Wait staff was efficient and friendly. Food was delicious and generous in portion size. I got the Greek omelet, and my husband the chicken fried steak with gravy and eggs. We took two boxes of food home. Excellent, excellent, eggs...cellent! read more

Been there for lunch first, got a burger with sweet fries. Was okay. Nothing special. I heard the veggie sandwich was bomb, I would try that next time. Went for breakfast like six times and I ALWAYS get the wheat texas toast and grits. Like legit so delicious. I never usually like grits from a restaurant, but it was yummy and didn't need anything to be added. The toast though. Best bread ever. SO much better than the white texas toast. And the biscuit was good too! read more
