Visited Just Spoon's Cafe in Broward and ordered the Dwight flight. Came with curry shrimp & grits, fried catfish & grits and stiffed salmon & grits. The stuffed salmon & grits had a really uncared for taste. We spoke with our server (Meme) who was great) she spoke with the front house manager (JOE) who stated, I understand but my hands are tied." The stuffed salmon bowl was UNTOUCHED!!!!!! Unfortunately they were not able to accommodate us with another option. That was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING..... I recommended to Joe that he should probably have his staff cook that dish for him so that he could be made aware of the taste...... In addition, the women's bathroom floor was not wet but dangerous oily/ slippery I also let JOE know this early on in our visit... VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER TODAY!!! IT WILL BE A WHILE BEFORE I COME BACK...... I left with a bad taste in my mouth and in my experience...

The Basic

Very warm hospitality here and given the strip mall location I thought the interior decor was done very well. No reservations so we sat at the bar seats. We opted for the basic. Which was pretty basic but the chicken strips were made perfectly. The highlight here is the honey butter croissant. I would probably get 5 of those to go.

Before Just Spoons Cafe existed in it's previous iteration it was called Spoons Bar & Grille. If you care about history facts, I thought that was super cool. Last month was my 4th time at Just Spoons and over time the service, experience and the food gets better. The space is intimate & small but if you are passionate about supporting small & local businesses then give Just Spoons a try. You won't regret it!

Brunch Punch Mimosa

This place never disappoints when it comes to their food and service. The hostess was helpful when we wanted an actual table instead of the booth across from the hostess station. Our waitress Kea was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. She explained how the banana bread pudding was coming out and I was sold. The banana bread pudding french toast with Cajun chicken was so DELICIOUS!! I love the creativity when it comes to the meals and how everything pairs well together. The music was loud because we were right under the speaker we tried to move but the tables were booked. We were still able to have a conversation and managed being at that table.

The food was absolutely delicious. There was five of us. We all shared and tasted each other's food. Everybody's food was really really good. The food came out extremely quick. Our waitress was very nice and very informative. The only bad thing I will have to say is that there was a long wait. But it makes sense because the place is so small. But it was worth the wait. Also, they have a 20% service fee that does not go towards your waiter, which I think it's pretty crazy.

Catfish and Grits

While in town we tried Just Spoon again. This time at a different location. Everything was still amazing! Food, service, and atmosphere! The bathroom floor was very slippery. There was a floor sign there but still slippery. Also, they automatically add a 20% service charge to the bill which can't be amended. Wish I would have known this up front.

I love supporting Black owned businesses and Just Spoons is one of the top brunch spots in Broward. It's always a vibe! The grits are tasty!!!! I always go just for the grits. It's good eats here. The prices can be a bit high but it's worth it in my opinion. Please make sure to make a reservation so you're not waiting too long but other than that it's always a pleasure.

A quick pit stop in Fort Lauderdale during a layover, led to some delicious soul food. Just Spoons came with it in terms of presentation, customer service , and quality /quantity . This is a nice cozy spot , with subtle music playing in the background. The space is welcoming and has adequate seating. The mango lemonade was a great thirst quencher . Price wise, I think could be more reasonable but the portion size is worth it. I legit wanted to take a nap after this meal. I came hungry and couldn't even finish. The croissant and honey biscuit was so tasty. The catfish was seasoned and breaded well. The home fries were even underrated and paired well with the cheese eggs . I throughly enjoyed my meal here and would rank this high on places to choose from within the area .

Sassy Fried Lobster & Grits
Melissa L.

All I can say is yes, yes, yes! My friends and I stopped in for the weekday brunch as a party of three and we received a warm welcome and we were promptly seated. The restaurant is small but not cramped, more intimate than anything. The menu selection was plentiful but not overwhelming. The food and drinks were kind of pricey at first take but once the drinks and food arrived I immediately saw why! The presentation was detailed and lovely. The plate was overflowing! And the flavor, OMG the flavor! The grits are the creamiest, best tasting grits I have ever had. The mimosas are STRONG, only one is needed in my opinion. My only concern was the fried lobster was slightly overcooked but the robust flavor made it hardly noticeable! This place definitely gets allllll the stars and I will be back time after time for those grits!!!! I highly recommend trying this place out!!

Went to Just Spoons Cafe for a Sunday Brunch and the food was mouth watering. Our Server Mohammad was very detailed oriented and despite the packed house, he was so attentive. The grits were so creamy and delicious The salmon / crab cakes were seasoned to perfection. I can't wait to go back. Tip: I would definitely recommend making a reservation!!!!

Black-owned Southern soul food breakfast spot that is always busy! I can finally see why! Made a decision to try and dine here the weekend of my birthday. My BFF and I stopped in for brunch on our way to a staycation down south. Without a reservation, it took an hour to wait for a table but once we got in we admired the decor and ambiance of the venue. Service was friendly and fairly quickly. I ordered the shrimp and Grits (seasonal offering) and a honey biscuit that unfortunately never came out. The food was delicious, served hot and a pretty decent portion sized for price and value. We opted out of ordering drinks since there wasn't a full bar and the drinks seemed sweeter than we would like and a trad bit pricier than we would prefer. Gratuity is included on your tab. I'd recommend Just Spoons and plan on visiting again!

Curry Red Snapper & Shrimp
Adrienne A.

Visited Just Spoons for lunch after reading about it online. The decor is very 1920's, very dark and cozy. We were greeted at the door and shown to our table and given menus. I selected the chicken sandwich and my partner selected the whole fish. I was warned that the chicken sandwich is spicy, but I like a little heat so I said that was fine. While we were waiting, the waitress brought us a complimentary honey butter, croissant and a honey butter biscuit. My partner liked the croissant so much he ordered another one. The music was very loud l, especially considering the size of the restaurant, but was told they were unable to adjust the volume. After a while, the food came out and the presentation was very nice. I took a bite of my sandwich and they are not joking about the heat. It was so hot spice wise, I could not even eat two bites. I also finished my drink very quickly and it was not refilled, so I sat there with a burning mouth for a long time until I got a refill. My partner enjoyed the fish and sadly, I just sat there and watched him eat. I must say, the potato wedges are delicious. Towards the end of the meal, I went to the restroom and the floor inside and in the hallway were so slippery I almost slipped 3 times, so I let the waitress know. Gratuity is included in the bill and the waitress told us multiple times that they split tips with everyone and extra is appreciated. The bill was $146 after tax, tip, and extra tip, pretty pricey for lunch, in my opinion, but YOLO! I did take my sandwich home and rinsed it off and reheated it in the airfryer. Had to toss the bread since it was soaked in the sauce. Still spicy, but tolerable. Good soul food

Catfish & Grits Bowl, Catfish, Curry Shrimp & Grits Bowl, and s/o Butta Pecan French Toast!
Serena M.

Food and service were both amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth the wait. The line may be long, but don't let that stop you -- it's 100% worth it once you sit down and experience the quality and hospitality. I'll definitely be back!

Going to Laspada's was super nostalgic for me. My mom used to bring me here when she was working in…read moreDavie. This was our spot! And it was just as I remembered it. As soon as you walk in, it feels homie; you're welcomed by smiles and staff ready to serve. Very casual environment, with tables inside and a couple outside. Great place to stop for lunch or grab a quick bite. All the classic meats are available, with options for combining them. Hoagies come with all the fixins and in 8" or 12". The meat is freshly sliced right in front of you, and sometimes even tossed down the line to hook up somebody else's sandwich. And talk about a packed hoagie?? Loads of meat and all the fixins you want! Definitely worth the $10 do that small. I was so eager to eat mine, I forgot to take a pic, but once again, that turkey hoagie was just like I remembered it! I will definitely make sure not as much time passes the next time I stop by.

The young lady who served me was quite rude. I specifically asked for my sandwich to be cut into…read morethree pieces, but she first cut it into two, and then, in a confusing twist, cut it into four. I repeated my request clearly, but it seemed to go unheard. This kind of inattentiveness is frustrating and detracts from an otherwise enjoyable meal. If you're looking for good food, you might find it here, but be prepared for potentially rude service. It's a shame that a simple request turned into such a big deal.

New location on University in Davie. They have some amazing food so far…read more I use the pick up option from there site. Great rewards program that os realistic and reasonable. Also reasonable price points for a combo sub to quick pick up for you or the kids. I also had the Mexican Street corn chicken sub ( not pictured) which was surprisingly good. The pictures do not show well, but one try and you will agree. Only con is the pick up location is public for anyone to grab. There is no monitoring which is what happened to me. Guy grabbed my bag (only bag there) and I had to stop him. Could have been an accident but not a coincidence it was by itself. Staff always greets so far (there 2 times)

We were looking for somewhere new to have lunch and we decided on Potbelly. The set up is order…read moreyour sandwich- it gets toasted - tell someone else what you want on it and pay. Honestly I can't remember the name of the sandwich I had - but it was very good. It was combo of meats - salami ham roast beef and turkey. I had provolone instead of Swiss. You get a choice of dressings and I got garlic aioli. They have long sliced pickles (yum) so they stayed nicely on my sandwich. I opted for a bottle soda. My husband got a refillable fountain soda and a side of Mac&cheese. It was nice and hot and tasty. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. They have inside and outside seating. All in all we enjoyed it and will return. Don't forget to download their app for rewards.

4/10 around 530 brought back my sub because they put mayo on the wrong one…read moreThe shift leader questioned everything I told her. I told her the chicken cheese steak was supposed to have mayo "it's not a cheese steak it's chicken" it's literally called a chicken cheese steak on my order receipt. Then she told me it says add mayo like they did nothing wrong. Yes the point was they put mayo on the wrong sub. She refused to apologize. Look it wasn't a big inconvenience and I didn't want anything for free or a refund or a discount but when you're a manager and someone bring back a wrong order the absolute bare minimum you can do is just offer a simple apology. That being said the other people that work here are always nice and the food is always good quality Update: had to bring back the sub a second time because they didn't put mayo again on the philly. They refused to put the mayo on or remake it with mayo and instead gave me a cup of mayo to put on myself because "they don't have the bottle mayo". Like, I know that's why you're supposed to put it on the bread when you make the sandwich.

I ordered the 8" Italian as that's the benchmark sub I like to judge. The sandwich had excellent flavor. They were not shy with the oregano, salt, pepper, vinegar and oil which set a delicious foundation for the fresh vegetables and Italian meats (ham salami and cappicola). They have a unique way of constructing the sandwich that keeps the overfilled contents in place which is awesome. As you can see in the picture, the meat to bread ratio is on point. Not sure if it beats my favorite (sub center) but I highly recommend giving this place a try when you're in South Florida. Overall this was an excellent sub.
