Updated my score even though high went higher . This place from the food to the service always is pleasant . A true staple in the Fort Lauderdale scene and holds a lot of history . The ambiance its self is welcoming , clean , timely , and always delicious . I would encourage those to try it and continue it is definitely a favorite for me and everyone I refer .

Smothered chicken with onions & Georgia sausage

Stopped in on accident and we are Not disappointed! Busy lil cafe with great service and delicious smothered breakfast!! We will definitely visit again! Didn't get great pics, dove right into it.

Catfish breakfast

While waiting on my vehicle to be serviced my wife and I decided to grab breakfast at this location. After already trying the son's location (Just Spoons) we decided to try the original. We both had the southern breakfast fried catfish. I chose mine with cheese grits and my wife had home fries. The food was ok, it reminded me of MLK restaurant in liberty city. There was really nothing that stood out and when compared to the son's restaurant it was sort of a downgrade. The service could of been better as we had to remind the waitress that we were missing food items. If your in the area and wanna grab a quick breakfast then this is a spot you could go to.

Spoon's is a black owned business. Small casual eatery serving authentic southern cuisine. The restaurant is situated within a strip of other stores with plenty of parking. On a busy day you may not have close parking. There are booths and tables available. Seat yourself when you come in. I ordered fried shrimp and tilapia with grits with smothered gravy and a biscuit. It was delicious every bite! Some favorites are: Smothered shrimp and grits Chicken and waffles Georgia Sausage Salmon pattie Big omelettes Just to name a few.

Smothered pork chops with potatoes and eggs and no biscuit :-(.

We have been going to Spoons for a while, at least 15 years. This is Southern-style Black cooking at its best. Yes, that includes heavy gravies, large portions, and probably lots of not too healthy, yet delicious meals. But they are always served with great hospitality. Today's visit for take-out lunch was near closing time (1:40 p.m.). And we were curtly informed that rice and vegetables are no longer offered, just grits and fries. There are no more lunch specials, just regular prices. And they were out of grits. We didn't mind the absence of the grits, because we don't like grits anyway and "smothered" works best with rice or mashed potatoes. (It seems to me that rice is the cheaper and easier side dish to make.) We expressed our disappointment and accepted the fries and chose biscuits instead of toast. The lady did warm up as I insisted on chatting her up. When we got home and dived into our smothered pork and smothered chicken, we were greeted with a very salty gravy (more salty than usual). Looking to tame that saltiness with a fluffy biscuit, we discovered that we didn't have any; they were missing (something we look forward to with the grape jelly). I never did understand the accompaniments with the meals. Everything seems to come with eggs and toast or a biscuit. (I usually end up putting away my scrambled eggs for the next day's breakfast.) I love the liver and onions, salmon patties, smothered anything, homemade pancakes and biscuits, and fried catfish. I wish Yelp would add 1/2 stars, because this should be a 3.5 star rating. While we understand that restaurants have had to pare services and food, it seems like some of the best parts have been trimmed at Spoon's.

Best Biscuits I have ever had in my life, the 2x2x2 was just the cherry on top. Definitely will come back.

Best biscuits I have ever had. Absolutely amazing, super soft with a nice flaky crust , MUST TRY WHEN YOU COME HERE. I will be back.

Meat omelette

Clean restaurant in a non-descript strip mall. Waitress was new, but very friendly. We are two big guys and neither of us finished our meals as they were large portions. Flavors were good, home fried potatoes good and the sausage gravy(the true sign of a good restaurant) was on point! If we lived in the area, we would be back!

This place was a hidden gem with so much history. I was happy to support this Business. It felt like I was apart of the community. I found out this was a pop Lukas spot for FAMU students and alumn. As supporting black owned business with my sorority so I was happy to find this spot.

Looking for home cooked breakfast this is the place , location not great but food is fresh I like the smothered chicken breakfast. Service not fast but community friendly, they support the local high schools and even I see they employ some of them .

My husband and I decided to dine at this restaurant on Black Friday, while waiting for his car to be serviced. We both ordered dishes from the Country Breakfast menu with fried catfish. The food was delicious; well-seasoned and fresh. In visiting this restaurant, I can definitely see the foundation that paved the way for the his son's establishment. Good food and happy clientele; definitely caters to a significant number of regulars.

This place gave me a soulful feel. The service was good and fast. All the food was served hot. They were practicing social distancing. Biscuits and gravy were perfect. Give them a try you'll be pleasantly surprised.

You're forced to pay for poor service, and in this case service the curly-haired young man, was very poor. The food itself was good, nothing wowing, but expectations met, and that alone is appreciated Try the hash, the Hubby enjoyed. I asked for my coffee to be EXTRA hot, it came out lukewarm, and that's bc it sat on the counter waiting for our server to bring it to us. He was no where to be found to voice my concern. We had to ask for several things a few times, and we never received refills on water. I asked to keep a menu to order an extra drink or cocktail but was never able to bc the server was no where to be found! He never came by to ask how we were, but he spent at least 7 minutes chitchatting with the table behind us stating how he "remembers them", and will try to "remember your orders for next time bc you come here a lot". Imagine if he offered services like that to ALL the guest? Well, enough was enough, and I was ready to leave. Guess who appeared with the bill and WOULD NOT LEAVE OUR TABLE-SIDE bc he was seriously focused on the amount of the "extra" tip my Hubby was going to leave. He didn't bother to clear any of the dirty dishes from our table, and never asked about ordering anything else even after picking up the menu I'd asked him to leave earlier. He was focused on my Hubby completing the payment. That's when I spoke up and said looking directly at the server, "a gratuity is automatically included, so do not leave an extra tip bc the service did not deserve the gratuity he's already getting". The young man looked at me shocked but didn't say anything. The food was okay but the service reduced any possible of a better rating.

I ordered the breakfast tacos and a creme brûlée coffee. Breakfast tacos are fire. It comes 2 but it fills you. It is messy af cause i kept spilling yolk, guac and the insides everywhere. but nevertheless the flavor was def there to enjoy. Tortilla has a nice bite to it as well. Creme brûlée coffee hit.

No way this stuff wasn't pre-made a while ago. Oh yeah, part of a banana and one strawberry. Despite what the waiter said, I could tell everything was pre-made. It's about the same quality as the free "continental breakfast" most cheap hotels offer except at the hotel it's still warm and you get refills on coffee and the waffle is freshly made and hot enough to melt butter. No free refills on coffee here unless you buy their "pour over," and then you get one small refill. The strainer for the coffee was stained and filthy when it was brought out, so they're not using fresh ones or even cleaning thoroughly between uses. GF had a meatless omelet and a smoothie. Her omelet was hot so obviously it was made fresh unlike mine. I told the waiter my food was cold and he swore he saw them "take it out of the oven," but nothing I ordered would be cooked in any over other than a microwave oven. Total bill for two: $60+. This was with a 30% discount on my plate for my food being served cold. Honestly you'll have a better, fresher meal at IHOP or Waffle House or Denny's, for a fraction of the price and you'll get coffee refills.
