Wooden Spoon Diner

Decided to try out a new (to us) breakfast place we always pass! Defiantly seems very homey ran and service was friendly. We waited a bit for a hostess to come and show us our table and nice we sat down there was crumbs everywhere on the table, you could tell she quickly wiped the seats and barely the table. No worries nothing a few extra napkins from our server couldn't fix. First let's start with my meal. Ordered 2 eggs, crispy hashbrowns, biscuit and piece of ham. Scrambled Eggs and biscuit was so fluffy and flavorful! Normally scrambled eggs are dry, but not these! Ham was fatty and hubby ate it. Hashbrowns were def crispy but served cold. Weird. I just slathered them in ketchup and all was solved! Oh! And I got a side of gravy and it was pretty good. Now for my husbands cinnamon roll pancakes.... HOLY SMOKES! They were SO FREAKING GOOD! I could never personally order them as they are VERY SWEET, but I sure as heck enjoyed a few bites of the ones he couldn't finish! Would we come back? I'm sure we will since it's close, but definitely don't sleep on those pancakes!

Service was good food was amazing and the place has that home town small town feel I will definitely be back

My wife and I enjoyed a late breakfast (10:30 a.m.) at the Wooden Spoon Diner located in the Imperial Christina Plaza at 6960 Florida Avenue S, Lakeland, Florida. The restaurant wasn't very busy at this hour and so we were seated right away. Our server Jeannie was attentive and cheerful. I ordered their three-egg omelet with feta cheese and spinach. (This combination isn't on the menu, but they are willing to make a special order.) The omelets come with your choice of home fries, hash browns, grits or seasonal fruit cup and toast or a biscuit. I chose hash browns and a biscuit. The omelet was delicious, and the hash browns were crispy, just as I like them. The biscuit was small but very tasty. My wife ordered the garden omelet that's made with tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and American cheese. She chose the seasonal fruit cup and wheat toast as her sides. She was also very pleased with her meal. We like supporting local businesses and the Wooden Spoon is one of our favorites! It is definitely worth the trip, and we will be back, soon! The Imperial Christina Plaza is located at the southernmost end of Lakeland at the intersection of South Florida Avenue and Shepard Road. Right before South Florida changes to North Church Avenue in Mulberry. There's plenty of easy parking, too!

My Son called and asked us to meet him at the wooden spoon. We did and it is one of the few wonderful places to eat. They are efficient and friendly. Oh then the food was delivered. There was 5 of us and 3 of us got the pork tenderloin. It is as big as a dinner plate. So good. Everything we got was great. The building is really nice. Our server was great. It's rare for me to rate anyplace this high but they are great.

Not very good today. Asked for eggs over medium. They were barely over easy. Asked for extra crispy bacon. Bacon was tough and cold. Sausage gravy was very thick, almost like mayonnaise with hardly any sausage in it. Not a good show, Spoon!!

We went to go grocery shopping at Winn-Dixie and my husband reminded me of the rule "Never go shopping hungry." He spotted the Wooden Spoon Diner which was odd because I had been to that Winn-Dixie many times and had never noticed that diner before, which was a large building right at the end of the strip mall. There were a lot of cars, and a lot of people streaming in, but he insisted that we at least try to go. We went inside and were told a 5-10 minute wait, which was reasonable. It was less than 5 minutes actually. They have booths and tables and a "socially distanced" room for those who need to be sat apart from others. We felt fine in a booth because they were large. There was a young man going around and sanitizing tables/booths as soon as they were vacated and bussed.Our waitress, Sintra (I'm unsure of the spelling, sorry), was a joy. Completely on the ball for everything. The coffee was good diner coffee, no fuss and strong. They have a decent menu, with a little bit of everything and the food came out fast, hot and fresh.My husband and my mum both ordered omelettes and grits. Both adored the grits, which were very creamy. The omelettes were a huge hit with both of them. Mum had the Greek omelette and hubby had the Meat Lovers; both omelettes were stuffed with delicious fillings. They each gave me a bite of theirs and I had to agree, very delicious.I had a dish called Rick's Combo (2 eggs with choice of meat and French toast). Everything was just the way I like it. Eggs were scrambled with no brown, and nicely soft. I asked for the bacon to be crisp and they delivered it perfect. The French toast was good (it had the standard powdered sugar on it).One thing I really like is that they give you real butter and the choice of half & half for creamer, along with the fancy creamers.The prices were average for similar breakfast places, so it was a good deal. We were pleased with the service and the food and both my mum and hubby expressed a desire to come back and check out the lunch menu very soon. Sounds good to me.

BEWARE They have defective chairs. Smashed finger between seat and metal frame not being attached. Management doesn't care.

Have been here 3 times trying it different foods. I enjoyed corn beef hash. The other breakfast items like eggs, bacon, sausage have been decent. We did not like the biscuits and gravy because it had very little sausage in the gravy however the biscuits are pretty good. Would go again but nothing out of the norm for a breakfast spot

The Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are to DIE for !!!OMG, I was blown away by them.Mozzarella Sticks would have been better if they would have been fried in fresh oil. Will be going back for those pancakes though....

My husband and I went for brunch today,Wednesday. Very pleased..service was super. WE had a very personable waitress. And portions were of good size.we will visit again.
