Good Breakfast  4 Star Rating - Very good

Everyone can't fix a good breakfast. But the Serving Spoon has it going on. I heard a lot about this place before I actually went and it was everything I had heard and more.

Great Breakfast Joint  4 Star Rating - Very good

The breakfast is great and more than you can eat! I recommend you get there early, though, for the waiting time gets very long if you're not there early enough!

The food is absolutely wonderful! You won't want to stop.
I personally ended up coming back again and again. The waiters are the friendliest people, the food is just marvelous. My friends love the place, i bet you will too.

Very Disappointed 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I am a southern girl, raised in Alabama and Georgia. So when I read about this place on citysearch, I immediately called up my friend and we met there for breakfast that morning. Looking at the menu, we were both very excited about what was to come. After much deliberation, we chose the catfish filet with pancakes, salmon croquettes with potatoes, and a side of bacon. While waiting for our food, I must agree with previous posts, this place felt like home. The ambience was really chill and the music was nice. However, the food left much to be desired. The catfish was overbreaded with an awful after taste. The salmon croquettes tasted like bread filling. And the potatoes tasted like they were dipped in grease. The only thing that we actually enjoyed was the pancakes and the thick cut bacon.
Their motto states that there ain't no better breakfast. But I'm sorry to say, that's a lie.

Examples: Pancakes, Customer service that will never be forgotten. thanks 5 Star Rating - World class

This past weekend my family and I was there and we love it. My family came down from Houston and the moment we walked in smiles love and family was there greeting us at the door. We are from the south and we get ready to eat we don't like for people to have an attitude. And i must say you all had just the opposite. If anyone ever ask me were should they go to grab a bite to eat. Please trust me you all are number one in my book. Nikki and the lil dark haired lady that waited on us both times we came in they are as God placed them to be. So I as a USMC family member must tell you all thank you for serving your town.When my husband come home from Iraq,yes we will be back! God Bless Serving Spoon.

Pros: Making Smiles out of Frowns
Cons: maybe a few more seats wouldn't hurt.

Wow!! I am still drooling from the great food! 5 Star Rating - World class

I am new to the area and found this place on here. I read the other great reviews and hoped they would live up to the hype :) I am happy to report that I was more than pleased with my experience! I had a friend in town visiting and she still talks about our great meal there. The service was great! Our waitress Meme was very friendly and made us feel right at home. The owners even came by our table to see how our experience was going! It can't get better than that...wait.....did I mention complimenatry champagne on Sundays??!!! Overall I will definately tell everyone about this place. The food was to die for, the price is right, and the service was not delivered with a fake personality! I have found my new favorite spot to dine!!

Pros: Service, Menu variety, and nice tunes to eat to!
Cons: Crowded but what do you expect?!! It is worth the short wait!

Felt like home... 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I went with 5 of my friends and everyone was pleased..
I had the catfish, eggs (only the egg whites, which I thought was nice option to have) and pancakes.
My other friends who are huge fans of grits and french toast were pleased as well. One of the few places I've found that actually serve edible turkey and chicken sasauge!
Yum!
The only two low points were the chicken wings tasted a lil bland (or it was just time to change the oil?) and the parking lot was full....but it's in a shopping center with other businesses on a Sunday after church, so I could understand that...

There was a b-day celebration while I was there, and I got to witness MeMe firsthand shaking her groove thang to Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday"....felt like my momma's house on Sunday morning....only thing missing was the Gladys Knight playing!

Yeah, the wait is long on the weekend, but where isn't there a long wait on the weekends?
Make reservations....Duh!..
Then, BE there for the reservation time. ...(CP time is not honored here).. they WILL give up your table.
FYI, all the people in your group will need to be there before you get a table.

We had a 20-30 min. wait, but they did take our orders while we waited...I though that was a least a effort to make up for the wait, I appericated it.

No it's not fancy...but it was good food, good service, and good times...
I will be back....on a weekday when I'm playing hooky from work!
