Great place for some southern staples. We were a party of 6 and we couldn't resist ordering fried…read morechicken and catfish. Fried chicken was really tasty with a perfect crunch and juicy chicken. The fried catfish was breaded with cornmeal, perfectly crispy, also well seasoned and very moist and tender inside. The tartar sauce was homemade and very good but they also have a good peppered vinegar. Between us all we had an opportunity to try a lot of sides. Hush puppies which one of our hush puppy lovers said was the best she ever had (I'm not a fan of these overall so I can't really say). The potato salad was very good, creamy, with just a hint of onion and relish. Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes were enjoyed by all. Loved the crispy okra and green beans. Collard greens were also good. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the pies. Caramel apple walnut was a little too nutty for me but it was still good. They key lime was my personal fave -- the crust was a good crumbly graham cracker that was definitely home made. We also had a lemon meringue and the chocolate coconut cream pie, which was essentially a half and half with chocolate cream and the bottom and coconut cream on the top. Both had beautiful, moist meringues with nicely toasted tops. On top of good food, we had a great waitress who was super attentive and very patient and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for some nostalgic, good southern comfort food.

I completely understand the importance of cleaning the tables, especially between customers, but the smell from the sponges and cleaning products was really unpleasant while we were trying to enjoy our meal. Maybe cleaning the tables before or after the dining period would help. Overall, a good meal, quick seating, friendly service, and very generous portions. We'll definitely be back! But please listen to my suggestion!

We were seated outside this visit which was fine as it was shady. I had the corned beef has with hash browns and 2 sunny side eggs. The corned beef is full of shredded corned beef with just a small amount of potatoes. The hash browns with onions were nice and crispy as I asked and the eggs were cooked nicely with the right amount of run when broken.

I think it's not trying to chase some form of nostalgia instead of just be itself (there's huge figurines around the property, for example, of Elvis). This is classic diner fare and they do a pretty good job of it. I think their milkshakes are pretty great because they are made with thick ice cream and spun right there. I've been getting the Black Bottom for years. As time has gone by, I think this has slowly become more and more eggy vs hamburger-y. This is a bit of a disappointment, to be honest, as it's very unique to Angel's. The tea is still good. Prices have remained reasonable in spite of the years.

It's a delicious mixture of egg, hamburger, cheese, and onions. It's hard to describe but truly tasty. The chili cheese fries were a bit soggy but the chili and cheese were pretty good. The shake was thick and creamy. The extra chocolate syrup was a nice touch. Service is friendly and efficient.

We've seen Golden Spoon before when we ate at Milano's next door (very good Italian joint, BTW) but thought, with a name like that, it must be some Chinese place. Lo and behold, it's like a mom and pop diner. When we walked in we were surprised at how spacious it is inside. We were seated in a booth with seat cushions showing some wear and tear but comfy nonetheless. We were presented the menu and my wife ordered coffee as we perused our options. My wife ordered the Southern Eggs (2 eggs over sausage patties on grilled biscuits with gravy) with hash browns and I tried their Mama's biscuits (2 over medium eggs over fried chicken on biscuits and gravy) with house potatoes. I was intrigued by the eggs over fried chicken and our server said it's one of their more popular offerings. When our orders arrived, we realized we wouldn't be able to finish them. Those portions were quite generous! My wife liked the flavors and appreciated the toasted biscuits that stood up to the gravy. She also thought the gravy was flavorful. She wished the hash browns were crispier though. My dish was good. The eggs were cooked to my liking and the fried chicken was tender. I also wished the house potatoes were crisped up a bit but it had decent flavors. Generous portions and good value! Service was a bit spotty at times with our server disappearing for a spell. All in all, we liked the experience and will likely be back. Breakfast for 2 with tip came out to $38. We paid cash to avoid the 4% surcharge for credit card usage.

I have to say, this was the best cheesesteak I've had in Florida and trust me, I've had authentic Philly cheesesteaks up north. Of course, nothing compares exactly to the original, but this was seriously impressive and incredibly satisfying. The gyro was also delicious. Maybe it could have been heated just a bit more, but honestly, it was still so good that I happily enjoyed every bite exactly as it was served. The light music in the background created a very relaxing and family friendly atmosphere. This is definitely a place that would make for a great outing with family and friends. Best of luck to the entire Golden Spoon team. We will absolutely be coming back again, and next time we'll be bringing family and friends with us. Great job everyone!

The place looked clean and new, and our server, who worked for the original Wolfy's for 14 years, acknowledged that the place needed some refurbishing. After looking at the menu, my wife ordered the Southwest Avocado omelet with hash browns ($13.39) (they didn't have grilled potatoes because they were closed for the 4th of July our server informed us) and I tried their Eggs Benedict Arnold with hash browns ($13.29). My wife also ordered coffee. My wife loved her omelet commenting how fluffy the eggs were and how flavorful the sausage, fire roasted corn and black beans were. She also liked the fresh lime cream and avocado slices topping the omelet. The hash browns were meh. My eggs Benedict were good. While the hollandaise sauce tasted good, it didn't look as creamy as the better sauces I've had. The hash browns were not hot and didn't seem freshly prepared...it was our least favorite part of our breakfast. All in all, a good dining experience, although we'll avoid the disappointing hash browns the next time we visit. Breakfast for 2, with tip, came out to just over $37.

I was happy with the table selection because we had plenty of elbow room for three adults and three children who doesn't like to be too close to each other so they have room for their tablets. Our waitress was Karen and she was great! A friendly and attentive young lady that was very accommodating to our "hangry" kids. She served their hot cocoa with a mound of whipped cream right away which soothed their hungry souls until their plates came out. Two of the kids choose a kid's breakfast meal while the third had their adult size lunch chicken tenders plate because they were extra hungry. I chose their Country Fried Steak with two sides and unsweetened ice tea. My plate had two nice sized steaks smothered in white country gravy. Very tasty and of course even better with Tabasco sauce. Nice crispy breading on the outside and tender cube steak inside. Definitely a comfort food to this Florida girl. My two sides were a side salad with blue cheese dressing and their macaroni and cheese. Both were good choices. Salad greens were crisp and had some carrots, purple cabbage and shredded cheese along with big croutons. Macaroni and Cheese had a thick and rich cheese sauce over firm not mushy macaroni. Two solid sides. I also decided to order a side of onion rings for our table to share. Not a huge portion by any means but they were very good. Crispy not greasy and filled completely with onion.

At 80, a week later, I'm still too weak to trust standing up. Can't prove it without the steak in a lab. But when two regular customers get sick from the same plate--one bite versus two, mild versus severe--the math writes itself. One star for the steak. We'll be back for everything else. Or not.
