    Club sandwich.
    Doug D.

    Visiting from Minnesota. We had lunch here. Casual atmosphere, order at counter and food is delivered to table. Nice menu. Had a club sandwich with the jalapeño cheddar muffins. Great sandwich and I thought the muffins were very good. My wife had the shrimp and grits which were very good. A couple of people at our table had the burgers which looked very good. Great French fries. Ordered the banana pudding beignets for dessert. Wonderful!! Casual dining but great food. Wonderful staff and owner as well. We would frequent this place if we lived near here.

    Catfish, Mac and cheese, collars greens.

    Excited to have a meat and 3 place. They serve brunch-breakfast all day. Counter orders and drinks self service. Friendly family oriented place. My daughter loves Mac n cheese so double Mac cheese it was. Food is great. Probably just a little bit more seasoning needed. But overall excellent place to come.

    Delicious shrimp and grits
    Kevin B.

    Southern Spoon has been one of our favorite food trucks for years now and we were always pumped when we found them at an event or a local brewery. We were so excited that they finally got a regular restaurant and we visited in mid Dec. The food and service is just as good as it's always been and that's a great thing. My wife and I both got the shrimp and grits and it was very flavorful and super creamy (and I usually don't care for grits). We've also had their chicken and waffles in the past (my go to as they make sweet potato waffles that are divine), banana pudding, and a beef wellington sandwich, which was amazing. They have all those items on the menu here (except for the welly sandwich) and they may be bringing that one back in the future for a special. We're definitely coming back here any time we want some amazing food!

    Max and cheese

    Having dined at the southern spoon food truck in the past I was excited to try their brick & mortar location for lunch while in the Smyrna area. Nothing beats the "I just paid a massive tax bill" blues like a good lunch, I arrived at 11:20 just ahead of a lunch rush consisting of a group of more than 15 women who seemed to be locals an familiar with the place. I placed my order at the counter took my number & found a table. Within about 10 mins an employee brought my food to my table. I went with the classic club (comes with fries) & a side of Mac & cheese. These were two featured items in other reviews & I wanted to check them out. The club was loaded up with ingredients & very good. I only finished half & took the rest to go. Excellent bread on this. The mac & cheese was good & you can tell they make the cheese sauce from scratch. Just needed a dash of black pepper & it was perfect. The fries were honestly my favorite parts they had Parmesan on them & were perfectly breaded & tasty. No ketchup required. I could have easily eaten a whole plate of those & nothing else. If I'm back in the area I'll come try something else as there were several items on then menu that peaked my interest. Great spot for lunch though!

    Once again the Yelp community did me a solid! We found this cute hole in the wall breakfast/ brunch place and it was good! The restaurant is open, clean, and bright. And- it was quiet enough we could converse and not feel drawn into conversations around us. You can tell this is a place made for hanging out and connecting as many around us appeared to be doing. They even had a sitting area and games and lots of seating options. The service was good too - they are friendly and kind. It took us a bit to decide as the menu had a lot of options. We had the butternut squash soup, broccoli, a biscuit, and the breakfast plate with cheese grits (husband said they were delicious), brisket, eggs, and a bagel. Overall very good and we enjoyed our brief visit!

    If you haven't been here you are SLEEPING on this place! The food is SO delicious!! The chicken and waffles has soooo much flavor to it, you have to try it! The CYO breakfast sandwich was also good but the chicken and waffles were as the star of the show. As soon as you enter the restaurant they let you know right away what to expect if it's your first time, prompt and friendly service :) There's tons of plants everywhere that gives off a vibe of being right at home for me (we have plants).

    Table decor
    Stephanie H.

    Found this little gem on Yelp and stopped in for breakfast. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Cute decor and clean inside. According to my husband and my son, the bathroom was the cleanest they have ever experienced. Food was fresh and delicious. My husband had the chicken and waffles. My son and I both created our own plate and it was all very good.

    Expert coffee
    Matthew W.

    The best addition to the restaurant scene in some time. The coffees are expertly brewed. Try the almond joy or the honey cinnamon miel. I've tried the club, chicken and waffles, and classic breakfast and you should, too. They even have impossible breakfast sausage

    Shrimp and Grits
    Joann J.

    Just tried Southern Spoon on a recommendation from a friend as I preferred locally owned business for out of town company. I was a little hesitant when I learned they had only been open about a month but, boy, I shouldn't have been. The place runs like a well-oiled machine, the food was delicious and the owners were so friendly. I wasn't aware they had a food truck and catering business as well. That explains the efficiency and tasty food. They are pros. We ordered 2 design-your-own breakfast bowls and the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were large and the sauce was so tasty. I'll try an entire order for myself the next time. If I could rate higher than 5, I would!

    Sourdough bread, egg over-medium, bacon (crispy) sandwich.
    Jessica F.

    Very clean and well maintained restaurant. I appreciated the spacious capacity to dine in. Its definitely southern comfort food, and it was so fresh and made to order. I had the iced sweet tea, breakfast sandwich (sourdough bread, egg over-medium, crispy bacon). I then ordered the Nashville Chicken and waffles. Very tasty and satisfying. Staff was incredibly accommodating and nice. Location is great! Easy to find parking in the lot. Food is good value for the $$$. I was glad they served breakfast all day. If an order was incorrect, they were very quick to satisfy the customer. Manager and staff handled call in orders very well (while meeting needs of in-person customers).

    Grilled cheese with pimento cheese, fontina and basil garlic mayo on sourdough with a side of potato salad
    Leticia T.

    Our last meal in Tennessee before heading to the airport at the end of our vacation. We ordered our food at the counter and picked up our utensils (wrapped in a cute bag sealed with a "thank you" sticker) and filled our drink glasses at the self-serve area with iced tea in large dispensers and can sodas organized by flavors on the table (Coke products..YES!). We sat at a table in this very quaint restaurant and a friendly waitress brought us our food. My husband had the shrimp & grits with toast and I had the grilled cheese sandwich with potato salad. My husband couldn't stop talking about his meal. He said it was the best he's had. The grilled cheese sandwich was so super cheesy and rich with flavor. We will definite eat here again when we're back for a visit.

    Chicken and Waffle
    Heather A.

    After reading the reviews, Hubby and I decided to try it out. Our Saturday morning usually entails breakfast out and we do try to visit different locations. This place did not disappoint! Limited menu but they have great "create your own" so you can pretty much make what you'd like. Hubby ordered the Chicken and Waffles and I had a Sourdough, egg, bacon and cheese sandwich. Both were quite scrumptious! Prices are very good as well as the service and atmosphere. Give 'em a try!

    Parmesan fries
    Nancy P.

    Food and service were excellent. Staffs were all friendly. We had the chef's special which consist of collard greens, cheese grits, pork belly with a side of sweet potato corn bread. Hot chicken sandwich with Mac/cheese. Kids menu chicken tenders and fries. The food were delicious. We also tried the raspberry and apple mini danish. They were crispy and tasty.

We ordered and our food looked very scrumptious when it was brought to the table. We did have a few issues however, actually questions mostly. Number 1, the overeats air ducts cooled off our food very quickly. Number 2, what is the deal with baked potatoes? They aren't available until after 4pm. I know for a fact you can cook a baked potato anytime of the day...the potato doesn't care. Number 3, I looked above my head just over our booth and the pendant light had quite a few cobwebs coating it. Overall, it w as a great meal and loved the inside decor and the service. I recommend for a special occasion.

This place will surprise you with the interior space (beautifully decorated) plus the outside seating which is also pet friendly. I went upstairs and sat at the bar where I met Kate...she is a non-stop dynamo behind the bar with a fun personality. The two dishes I enjoyed were specials for the evening and may not be available when you visit. My appetizer...black mussels in an elegant cream sauce...this dish blew me away. Make sure you dip the bread in the sauce, it was so good I was tempted to order another helping. For dinner the fried Grouper over a bed of gnocchi and a drizzle of aioli was incredible. The breading was light, the fish was perfectly cooked, and the combination of flavors was very well done. While I am not a fan of the texture of gnocchi...this was really good with the cream sauce. What sets this place apart...the people! Yes...the food is great! But when you spend four hours enjoying a great meal, intriguing conversation, and a smattering of food theory you know you've found a bit of paradise.

My wife also let me try her chicken piccata with seasonal vegetables, which were both amazing. All of the staff was welcoming and our server was knowledgeable of the menu and made good recommendations. We went on a Saturday night and they had live music upstairs, which was a great surprise. The band was very talented. If you haven't been yet, you need to check this place out, and if you went before, you should give it another chance. We will definitely be back!
