4/19/26 First time after a hunt for breakfast. Crawdad Eggs Benedict was very good but not at all spicy. I notice a different picture of the same dish from an older review and it looked quite different. I suspect a professional (paid for) pic and review. See my attached pictures. The original looks much better than what I received. Probably not too much different than when you compare the actual Big Mack from McDs to the image at the drive through board. I suspect if I had received the older version it may have received a food ratting of 5 s. Hopefully next time! read more

Southern Spoon Homestyle Breakfast - Original Crawdad Eggs Benny - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Middleville, Michigan

Southern spoon is still relatively new (opened roughly two months ago), so going to give some grace with the review. Pros: Wait staff was kind and attentive. Service took the appropriate amount of time. The wooden beams in the lofted ceiling were pretty. The menu had a variety of options we wanted to try. The sausage patties had good flavor. Cons: The food generally lacked flavor. For a southern style breakfast spot, it was pretty surprising the lack of seasoning used across all the dishes we tried. Potatoes, eggs, veggies, and toast were all just very bland. I'm sure they will figure things out and get better over time, but we will wait a while to head back. read more

Fast friendly service. Food is always fresh and delicious. My husband and I have tried several different dishes here and all of them are wonderful. Thier shrimp and grits are amazing. If you love fried green tomatoes try their Fried Green Smoky BLT's. Our daughter wasn't sure what she wanted but decided to try Kyle's Monte Cristo and she fell in love with it. Come give Southern Spoon a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

We had a great experience here and can't wait to come back. My favorite was the breakfast burrito. It was packed full with crispy potatoes, scrambled eggs, chorizo, peppers, onions and cheese. It was served with creole breakfast sauce and salsa. My husband would've liked it served with sour cream which might have been a nice touch. The chicken and waffles was also really delicious but not quite what I expected. It came with 2 huge waffles which was a surprise. They were flavorful but not crispy. Again, totally fine just not what I was expecting. We ordered Nashville hot chicken and the breading was crisp but it was not spicy at all. The flavor was great, the chicken was juicy but as you can see in the photo it was quite small compared to the giant waffles. We also tried the Slap Yo Mama Skillet. We also really enjoyed this dish also. The potatoes were crispy (my fave) and they were seasoned really good. I personally thought the chorizo, Tasso ham and andouille sausage should've been bigger chunks. The potatoes are about the size of a quarter so I think it would've just been a better ratio. I also wish it would've had two eggs instead of one. It was a large portion of potatoes so again, it would've been a better ratio to have 2 eggs instead of 1. We chose sour dough which is homemade in GR and very good. We also ordered a latte which was piping hot and delicious. We were even given free coffee after our latte was gone. Our waitress was very friendly, had great recommendations for us and came back just enough to make sure we didn't go without something we might need or want. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. When we walked in we were greeted by multiple employees which was pleasant. The prices and portions were perfect. I will absolutely be coming back soon! read more

Such a good place for breakfast. It is Southern style and tends to offer a little spicier cuisine than some. Please be sure and ask questions before you order. Today I tried the country fried steak. The sausage gravy was full of flavor and had some zing. The over easy egg was on point but the hash browns could have been aa little bit crisper. Over all the food was great and Amy W was wonderful. Thank you Southern Spoon! read more

The southern spoon just opened up about a month or so ago in Middleville and they have the best breakfast of anywhere in this area. This is my second time going because it was so good the first time and I can't wait till the next time. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is so great and the people are so friendly. The owners, Kyle and Kenna are almost always on site helping cook, dry and roll up silverware, visiting tables to talk to the customers and find out how their meal is. I would expect nothing less considering they own the sandbar next-door, which is also very delicious and well run. It is obvious they truly care about the restaurants and the happiness of the people that visit them. It is also important to know that their meat comes from Tom's meat market up the street and they have the best meat around. One of our waitresses Amber was so friendly and helpful. The first time we went, I tried the shrimp and grits, which is hard to find anywhere in this area and especially hard to find as good as these shrimp and grits are. The kids had pancakes and bacon and the pancakes were huge and the bacon was so thick and delicious. my mother ordered the eggs Benedict because that's her favorite. Go to breakfast food and she enjoyed it and said it was some of the best eggs Benedict she has ever had. We also ordered a half order of the biscuits and gravy because we both love biscuits and gravy and we try biscuits and gravy every place we go. My stepfather used to make the best biscuits and gravy and we are always searching for something even close to what he used to make, and this is probably the closest we've come. Homemade gravy with lots of sausage and just the right amount of spices make this the best. The next time we visited, I really wanted some more of those shrimp and grits, but I broke down and tried something different and got the low country which included two eggs, potatoes, toast, and skewers with sausage and shrimp on them and it was so delicious. We look forward to going back very soon and hopefully trying some other things on the menu. read more

Yum! Excellent little breakfast spot. Biscuits and gravy amazing and service was excellent

Leslie was the only one working and she worked her tail off trying to take care of everyone. I can't even say the food was warm. It was room temperature at best some was cold, even the mocha I got wasn't hot. I got the BLT waffle sandwich. Waffle was soggy, very little bacon and room temp at best. They serve it with a Creole sauce that doesn't seem to pair well with the rest of the food. read more

We came in with a large group for breakfast. Ordered a variety of menu items. Everyone was very pleased with their meals. Offerings are quite large and could have been shared but I was glad to take some home. read more

Was served this toast with my breakfast. Never knew you could get just crust toast. When the server set my plate down, I noticed her looking at the plate. I asked about the toast and she even said it was sad looking. Why did she serve it then if she already knew it was bad? They were able to get me the proper order of toast, half toasted and after I was on my last bite of food. As for the food itself, it was alright. I guess I was expecting bigger flavors from a southern place. read more
