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 .

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.

Amazing Service and a Great Dining Experience at Flanigan's!…read more We had a fantastic time at Flanigan's! Our server, Norman, truly made the experience memorable. He was hilarious, attentive, quick, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, including the green tea shots and Hennessy, which we ended up purchasing! We ordered the ribs and the surf and turf, and both were good. While we enjoyed the food, the outstanding customer service really made our visit stand out. A special shout-out to Norman for his professionalism, great personality, and excellent service. Jr. also deserves recognition for checking in with us and making sure we were satisfied with our experience. It was great to see the team go the extra mile to ensure we were well taken care of. Overall, the service was amazing from start to finish! I highly recommend Flanigan's for a fun and enjoyable dining experience. Norman and Jr. helped make our visit a memorable one, and we'll definitely be back!

They weren't that busy and the service we got was mediocre considering there were two of them cause the one guy was training someone new. I ordered a rib combo with wings and I paid extra for the sweet potato fries that we're supposed to have cinnamon and sugar on them. What I got was a wet mushy mess that whoever put them on the plate should've been ashamed to present that to a customer. I did send them back and they did have them redo with them and they came a lot better, but I think it was a little too late for that, and you can see from the picture of the chicken wings didn't look very appetizing and to be honest they didn't taste very appetizing. This made me kind of sad cause we used to go to big daddy's a lot. Best part of the whole meal was the Flanagan's duck that I got with my drink was really cute.

The food variety is vast and everything looks incredible on the menu. They have a fantastic brunch menu I have to try at some point but I can't get over how much I love the runway wrap! I get it on spinach and the chicken throughout is perfect. I also think the homecooked fries are top notch. You can tell they put a lot of effort when then fries are this good! They are a thick cut fry that isn't too heavily fried. On a hot day seeing the heatwaves transcend from the runway is something out of a movie. It's definitely 150+ degrees on that runway so getting to watch it from the cool A/C indoors is a blast. You'll never know what type of plane is taking off or landing the entire time so it really makes you want to eat and watch through the window. Can't wait to visit again soon

I guess our server woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Simple questions and requests seemed to bother her. My friend ordered pancakes with his eggs. When he inquired she said she only had two arms. That's fine, but he asked 5 minutes after his eggs were delivered. The restaurant is incredibly loud. Not from the airport but from the poor acoustics of the dining room and a few babies crying. After an hour it was hard to take. Honestly, the food was very, very average. My omelette was not very fluffy. It was flat. Not much cheese in it either. The potatoes appear to be of the frozen variety. They were less than ordinary. My friend's bacon was overcooked and his pancakes did finally arrive 8 minutes after his eggs. I'm told the pancakes were very good, though. After your meal, wonder over to Banyan's Pilot Shop and see the cool merchandise and simulator.

Drive past all the time and finally tried it out. Ordered for pickup and it was quick and easy…read more Nice staff too. It's also a convenience store if you need lotto or drinks. Parking lot right out front. I ordered the chicken and ribs combo dinner with two sides. Mac and cheese and collard greens as my sides. EVERYTHING was sooo good. The greens seemed fresh, still had structure not like out of a can mush. You could see big chunks of ham in it too. Mac and cheese was normal but good. I asked for extra sauce on the ribs and chicken and they delivered! Will definitely be back!

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM THIS JOINT. PERIOD. After waiting an hour for my chicken and ribs dinner…read morecombo and tracking 3 doordash delivery drivers as they arrived and departed the place empty handed, I decided to call the driver currently at Wally's to find out what was what. He said my order had been cancelled. I then called the store where a worker said they were out of meat (it was nearly 9pm, they're supposed to be open until 10)to which I replied, "why didn't anyone call me?". He just sighed into the phone so I asked to speak to a manager. I actually got Wally on the phone and he said my order had been cancelled so I asked by whom, he said he didn't know, it was just cancelled. I said "I didn't cancel it so who did?"and again he said he didn't know. I said the person I just spoke to said the store ran out of product so did you guys run out of food or did someone cancel my order? Again he said, "I don't know...." Yeah, Wally might know BBQ but apparently not much else, like food management or customer service. Where I'm from, if it looks like the restaurant is going to be short on something, they call the customer right away and ask if they would prefer a substitution or figure a way to make it right. If I was notified when the first delivery driver showed up that my meal wasn't going to be possible, at least I could have found an alternative for food, but because they waited until I called and subsequently, most other restaurants that offered delivery were closed by this time, they get a 1 star rating and this review. I will never consider eating at Wally's, ever. Probably too bad for me because it looks delicious, but I'd rather give my money to someone who actually cares. Oh yeah, collards aren't offered as a regular side on their online menu so good luck getting them through yelp if my expeience is any indication of their operational standards. Thanks for nothin' Wally.
