The Wooden Spoon is hands down our favorite local spot. The food quality is consistently outstanding, and you can truly taste the care in every dish. My go-to breakfast is the Fried Green Tomato Benedict -- perfectly cooked eggs, incredible flavor, and just the right balance of richness and freshness. This weekend's Steak Benedict special? OMG. So delicious. Tender steak, cooked just right, layered with that signature hollandaise... absolutely next level. The location is great, the atmosphere feels welcoming and authentic, and it's everything you want in a true local treasure. We're so lucky to have The Wooden Spoon in our community! read more

What a treat! I was met and seated by a very personable server (Amber) who described the specialties of the establishment and the "specials of the day." They all seemed palatable, but I had come for the shrimp and grits and asked how they were. She said that they were very good but the dish is unique from place to place. She said theirs was more savory than spicy. It was delicious. If I had come here earlier in my trip, I would certainly come here again. It's a very attractive building tastefully decorated both inside and out. read more

Great food and service. Amber always provides stellar service with a smile. So many menu items!

The food was good. Would eat here again. The service was slow. We had a table of 5 and the food was bought to the table at different times with about 6 minutes from the first two plates being brought out to the last three plates. read more

This is a great place. The Greek food is amazing and the service was spot on. Weston was our server. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. We had our entrees within ten or so minutes of ordering. I got the Spicy chicken Boom Boom wrap which was delicious. My wife got the gyro platter. She said everything on it was delicious. We also got pineapple mimosas which were pretty good but not my favorite. This place is a quiet little hidden gem in Surfside. It is very casual and not touristy. We will definitely be returning regularly. read more

Good: servers were nice and very attentive Very clean and tidy Bad: NO unsweet tea available, food was ok, smaller size portions for the price. Pancakes were on the cool side for not being very busy, I guess my expectations were higher considering all the excellent reviews! read more

We were looking for a breakfast spot and decided on the Wooden Spoon Eatery. It's a pretty modern restaurant with some creative decorations throughout the dining are. The service was generally good with the server checking on us from time to time. The menu has the standard breakfast item but also some unique offerings. My wife had her typical breakfast. Scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage, home fries, and an English muffin. She said it was pretty good. I decided on the Athenian Omelette which has feta cheese, green peppers, tomatoes and onions. I also had grits and rye toast. The omelette was good but not very fluffy. The grits were fantastic. They had the perfect consistency. The toast was somewhat light. I thought it could have stayed in the toaster a little. Overall, it was a pretty good breakfast. I would definitely go back again if I was in that area. read more

We went to Wooden Spoon Eatery on 11/9/2024 and it was EXELENT! I got caramel pecan French toast with blueberry's and it was great. The service was outstanding. And the view from outside was nice.

Breakfast for an adult looked like a child's plate. One of the group got a sandwich. Fries were frozen fries. Hash browns were also frozen. Food was just fair. Waitress was sweet! read more

Stopped here for breakfast and we both had the Southwest Omelet special. The ingredients were mixed into the egg not like some places that just fold the egg around the ingredients, it was delicious! The biscuits are some of the best around the area. The staff here is very friendly and make you feel like you are at home. The place is clean and appropriately decorated. We will be coming back to try their lunch soon. read more

Wooden Spoon Eatery - Southwest Omelet with fluffy bisquits - Wine Bars Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

There is so much left unsaid about the Wooden Spoon. This eloquent little eatery is not only ripe with menu options; it's customer service and range of seating options are enough to make you feel like royalty. The side walk seating was comfortable, and didn't' make me feel over crowded, which only added to the enjoyment of my breakfast. As a simple person, I enjoy eggs over medium, bacon, and potatoes; they were prepared to perfection. The Wooden Spoon was so nice, while on vacation I ate there twice. This veteran owned small business is high in quality, and it has affordable prices. But you don't have to take my word for it... If you're ever in Myrtle, better yet, Surfside, I recommend you break bread and enjoy the bounty they provide. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a whim, as it was close to our AirBNB and glad we did! Food was excellent, and staff was super friendly! I had the wooden spoon salad and my husband had the Philly steak sandwich with fries. Not only did it come out quick, everything was excellent. I will be back, and you should go, too! ***EDIT*** also stopped in for breakfast and it was equally excellent. Food was great, and coffee was refilled frequently. Our server was again, super friendly and sweet. Added bonus the business is veteran-owned, which is cool! read more

Nice quiet spot for a great breakfast. Been here many times and always enjoyed my time. Service is excellent and friendly. Well done.

I loved the atmosphere and service more than the food, unfortunately. My pancakes were decent - bananas on top (I much more prefer cooked IN side) and not ripe enough. Mark's biscuits and gravy were the winners! I was behaving or hells yeah! When in Rome! Props for being dog-friendly! read more

it's down the road from where I libe and thought I'd give it a shot. I ordered an omelette with country fries. it was the most threadbare omelette I've ever seen in 58 years. It was literally paper thin. The potatoes were good. I don't know if it was a single egg omelette or what, but I'll never go back. read more

Such a cute little place with indoor & outdoor seating options. We went for breakfast on a weekday and ordered the special breakfast burrito. It was so good! The atmosphere is beachy, low key and well decorated. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I also ordered an ice coffee with vanilla syrup, it was very good! Tons of options for waffles, omelettes and other breakfast staples. Enjoy! read more

We are locals and love trying new places, this place was a pleasant surprise for a Sunday morning breakfast. I had the special which was crab cake eggs Benedict (which should become a permeant menu item) and my husband had the steak and eggs breakfast. Both were delicious and cooked to perfection. The only recommendation I would make for a newer business is to have a sign that tells you to seat yourself if you do not have a hostess because I did notice a bit of confusion with that. Otherwise the food was delicious, staff was friendly and the atmosphere was calming. read more

I have eaten at the Wooden Spoon many times and the food is consistently good. The wait staff and owner are always welcoming. Recently I a friend visited from out of town and want to go there for avocado toast ( only there when it is a special) because she says it is the best she has ever eaten. George their owner made it the special so she could get it while she was in town. Wooden spoon is a nice friendly restaurant with great food and service. read more

Had the Southern Benedict with grits instead of home fries. This is eggs Benedict with a southern twist of a biscuit, sausage and sausage gravy added to it. Food was really good. Service was efficient. Place was busy but I did not have to wait for a seat and did not have to wait long for food. This is a busy area so parking can be challenging. read more

As soon as we walked in I knew we made a good choice. Has a great feel, staff friendly, very comfortable. Food tasted more like "real" food and not the normal junk you find around the area. Tartar sauce was good which is such a rare thing. Only thing we didn't care for and should've skipped is the clam strips. (Seemed frozen and mostly crust) Also, would be helpful if servers would let you know there is an upcharge when you request substitution or something like an extra pickle. Other than that, we loved it. Glad to find a new spot. We will be back! read more

Located in a charming, quiet town, we were attracted to this restaurant because we saw people coming in and out. It is clean, the host is very friendly, and the average wait time is 5-10 minutes. It is dog friendly and has plenty of outdoor seating. The menu options were varying and very affordable (they have a different menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The food came within 20 minutes and was delicious! The portions were enough to satisfy, and the waitress was very friendly, too! read more

Unbelievably amazing. My family and I were in time this weekend celebrating Juneteenth as well as my cousin high school graduation and we decided to get some breakfast from this eatery before we started our day. And I can't believe how good it was. Lest start off by how cute and family oriented the small diner was. It seems to be family owned or operated and The server took the entire order for 5 people with many customizations WITHOUT WRITING a SINGLE THING DOWN. And everything was CORRECT. Mind-blowing!!!! I honestly couldn't decide if I wanted breakfast or lunch but I chose the chicken gyro ( yero) with fries which was so delicious, the meat was juicy loaded with lots of lettuce and red onions and I love the tzaki sauce . Tbh they will be surprised if I'm not here every morning we come to the area because this was soooo soo good and need another location near Virginia . read more

5 stars for the Food and service. Foot was very satisfying. Our waitress Heather was good natured and gave as good as she got. The pancakes were medium fluffy. Bacon was not quite crispy and not quite floppy. Egg was cooked correctly. Their sides are reasonably priced.For comparison, between the sides and the menu items you can make pretty much order any meal Waffle House makes. My friends also enjoyed their meals. One did say the home fries where on the low side of just ok. I am docking a star because the mask use was very spotty and ineffectual. The mask was pulled down when we first arrived. After that the mask was beneath the nose almost all of the time. read more

Friendly staff, amazing food. Menu is large with great selection. Highly recommended!!

Very good! Our server was super sweet and helpful. I ordered a pretty plain eggs & bread combo, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. My boyfriend got the eggs Benedict and he really liked it. They have plenty of juices, coffee, black or green tea, and they also had some beer and mimosas on the menu for breakfast! Very cool. Thought the place was super cute and they have outdoor seating as well. We had no trouble finding street parking. read more
