Southern Spoon

Put this place on the map. It's tasty. Nestled in a strip mall type layout besides a church & a tractor supply. Do not let that be a concern. This luncheonette styled place will charm you. The cauliflower, greens, and salad are so good. I mean it. Were so good, I immediately texted my Nashville kin folk. Yelp reviews are on point. Food looks better in person and tastes really great. Of note, spoons are on request. Now I'm ruined! Nothing touches this spot in Houston. I'll have to return to Nashville soon.Wishing Southern Spoon only the best!

Very friendly people who explained the menu options since it was our first time in. You place your order at the counter, find yourself a place to sit and they bring you your food. Interior was simple but clean and even though it was pretty busy, we didn't have a problem finding a seat. I got a bacon wrapped pork rib with collard greens and fries - the fries were battered or something which made them nice and crispy on outside and soft inside. Perfect. Collard greens came with some sort of spicy sweet sauce that I really want to buy by the bottle. Super delicious. Pork rib was very tender and not too fatty. Hubby got the basic breakfast plate - eggs, biscuit, cheese grits and smoked bologna. He said everything was yummy. Was a shame we missed out on the days sausage gravy. They gave us a coffee refill to go which was very cool. The only thing I would personally wish for would be a fountain drink instead of the canned sodas. No other notes though - we will be back for sure.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
