The smothered steak was AMAZING -- tender, full of flavor, and paired perfectly with over-medium eggs and creamy grits. The smothered pork chops are amazing too. Real comfort food done right. The fried chicken wings were also on point... crispy, juicy, and seasoned all the way through. The vibe felt like true homestyle soul food with good service and portions that definitely satisfy. If you're looking for a solid breakfast/brunch spot in Broward, this place is worth the stop. I'll definitely be back. read more

While waiting on my vehicle to be serviced my wife and I decided to grab breakfast at this location. After already trying the son's location (Just Spoons) we decided to try the original. We both had the southern breakfast fried catfish. I chose mine with cheese grits and my wife had home fries. The food was ok, it reminded me of MLK restaurant in liberty city. There was really nothing that stood out and when compared to the son's restaurant it was sort of a downgrade. The service could of been better as we had to remind the waitress that we were missing food items. If your in the area and wanna grab a quick breakfast then this is a spot you could go to. read more

Spoon's Grill - Catfish breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Spoon's is a black owned business. Small casual eatery serving authentic southern cuisine. The restaurant is situated within a strip of other stores with plenty of parking. On a busy day you may not have close parking. There are booths and tables available. Seat yourself when you come in. I ordered fried shrimp and tilapia with grits with smothered gravy and a biscuit. It was delicious every bite! Some favorites are: Smothered shrimp and grits Chicken and waffles Georgia Sausage Salmon pattie Big omelettes Just to name a few. read more

We have been going to Spoons for a while, at least 15 years. This is Southern-style Black cooking at its best. Yes, that includes heavy gravies, large portions, and probably lots of not too healthy, yet delicious meals. But they are always served with great hospitality. Today's visit for take-out lunch was near closing time (1:40 p.m.). And we were curtly informed that rice and vegetables are no longer offered, just grits and fries. There are no more lunch specials, just regular prices. And they were out of grits. We didn't mind the absence of the grits, because we don't like grits anyway and "smothered" works best with rice or mashed potatoes. (It seems to me that rice is the cheaper and easier side dish to make.) We expressed our disappointment and accepted the fries and chose biscuits instead of toast. The lady did warm up as I insisted on chatting her up. When we got home and dived into our smothered pork and smothered chicken, we were greeted with a very salty gravy (more salty than usual). Looking to tame that saltiness with a fluffy biscuit, we discovered that we didn't have any; they were missing (something we look forward to with the grape jelly). I never did understand the accompaniments with the meals. Everything seems to come with eggs and toast or a biscuit. (I usually end up putting away my scrambled eggs for the next day's breakfast.) I love the liver and onions, salmon patties, smothered anything, homemade pancakes and biscuits, and fried catfish. I wish Yelp would add 1/2 stars, because this should be a 3.5 star rating. While we understand that restaurants have had to pare services and food, it seems like some of the best parts have been trimmed at Spoon's. read more

The food was decent, however the waitress FeFe was rather rude, she hurried us out after we ate and did not pick up any of the dirty dishes for twenty minutes. when we asked if she could please move the dishes, FeFe stated that our time limit was up and the dishes will not be removed until we leave. In the midst of saying that she was picking up the tip. I will not be coming back, i'll give the sister location Just Spoons a try and hope for the best. read more

I found this hole in the wall by waiting at the traffic light to turn green I turn my head and saw this southern restaurant. I pulled in to check it out and end up dining in. I ordered the Georgia sausage breakfast with home fries and a biscuit. You get to choose between grit or home fries and biscuit or toast. Oo man must I say I was so pleased with what I picked the biscuit is tooo die for and it melts in your mouth. The home fries are seasoned to perfection. It's very hard nowadays to find good diner home fries and Spoons nailed it. They sausage was cooked to the exact way of how I like it a nice soft crunch on the outside and juicey on the inside. I brought my mother with me and she ordered the 2+2+2 which comes with pancake, eggs, and a choice of bacon or sausage. My mom is not usually a fan of pancakes and she ate every bite of In the beginning the service had me wondered did I pick the wrong place to enjoy breakfast. Upon my arrival no one greeted and I noticed a sign that stated to please take a seat. When seated it did take a while to be provided menus but I patiently waited and then was provided menus. The server and the host at the front began to address us and our waitress was very helpful of the menu. Once we were served our waitress checked up on us and also asked how did we enjoy our meals. The host also came by the table to see how we were enjoying our meals and asked us if we had been to their establishment before. In the end I was happy I chose to enjoy breakfast there and had phenomenal service. read more

First time in this place! Food was excellent. Service was great. The portions are large and taste.

Had a strong taste for fish and grits, did a quick google search and find this gem. I called in my order when I arrived there was a line to pick up and the dining areas was full which was a good first sign for me. I ordered catfish and grits with eggs and toast although all I wanted was the fish and grits. The fish was fried to perfection nice crispy and well seasoned. My only gripe is the o my have one slice of fish with my order, I didn't want the eggs or toast. The young lady was very nice and pleasant getting everyone in and out. I look forward to coming back with my family to try out the menu. I'm happy to find a new diner that's black owned. They deserve their flowers the food was good. read more

Believe it or not, I'm not a go to person for soul food, being I'm in the health and wellness field. But I am a staunch advocate for moderation and nutritional/physical fitness balance because life is too short not to eat some fried pieces of fish with buttery eggs and grits once every blue moon ---extra burpees for me later, of course. Lol. I won't belabor the menu here, but they are a classic basic soul food restaurant staple. They serve breakfast and lunch for sure on weekdays....I'm not sure about dinner and weekends, you'd have to call for hours. I've always come back to this place when other area soul food restaurants fail sadly to produce. I'd bet a lot of other folks feel that way, too. They are also known for the cakes, baked by a very popular local cake baker.....this awesome person would squeeze my neck if I called him/her out.....the slices are huge and the cakes are amazingly moist and perfect....they don't sit for long at all. My experience over the years here has been to get consistent quality southern home style comfort food meals at a good prices....I'd much rather eat here than at a breakfast chain for the same price. Good stuff. read more

The breakfast here was so darn good! The reviews that have given this place 5 stars are 100% accurate. First off, the inside of the restaurant is very spacious and not cramped like a some other places I've been to. My husband and I were greeted immediately and seated within seconds of walking into the establishment, in fact, I think we were allowed to seat ourselves. Our server, a young guy, I can't remember his name, but he is probably one of the best servers I've ever come in contact with. He was pleasant, not pushy, attentive, but not overly attentive. His personality was bubbly and kind, long story short, the world needs more people like him. The food was great. Cooked to order, hot when we received it and savory. We had enough food for 4 people. I think we ended up spending under $20 for everything, drinks included. This is definitely a place I'll go back to whenever I'm in the area. read more

Called in a takeout order for a nice Sunday morning treat after I tidy up my car at the car wash that's across the street. The phone rang for a while, but when answered, my order was promptly taken by a pleasant woman. My order was ready as promised when I arrived. Food presentation was appealing, the grilled fish & shrimp breakfast was very tasty with generous portions. The smothered shrimp was a little salty for my tastes, but the gravy helped the home fries that were browned perfectly but not seasoned. The large dining room had a number of seated guests seemingly enjoying their meals and conversations. read more

Looking for a frugal breakfast thats a little rough around the edges try Spoons. The breakfast grits are the best Ive had in the Fort Lauderdale area. I had the fried shrimp and fried catfish and grits. The biscuits were pretty good too. It was a bit busy but the service was good. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and when something came out not exactly the way I wanted she got it switched out easily. Looking for a Southern style down home cooked meal as if it was a Sunday at grandmas house, this is the spot. read more

So I didn't realize that I didn't take a picture of my food until I was biting into the last piece of my fried fish. It was really good by the way. Food: I got the fried catfish breakfast. The fish was delicious. I asked for it to be fried hard and although it wasn't fried as hard as I would have liked, it was still good. The eggs were fine; I mean they're eggs. The grits, I was not a fan of. Every since I've had ikrave grits, I don't like grits made with water and these were just bland. Customer Service: The reason for the low rating. Our waitress was not up to par. I am not sure if she is new and still in training but she needs a little more training. And if this is the case, they should not assign her to big tables. It was seven of us. For one our cups were empty for far too long. It got to the point where Jasmine, the waitress we were hoping for, was assisting. On two occasions she came over to assists us with our re-fills and checking on to-go orders for us. Despite writing our orders down and repeating it back to us three times, on her own accord; not ours, our order was still missing items at which point we didn't even request anymore. One of the young ladies cheese was not melted into the grits. She asked the waitress to put her food in the microwave to melt the cheese and was told that the grits would melt because of how hot they were. For one the grits were not that hot to do that and two it took her asking the manager to out it in the microwave to get it done. Mixing the cheese into grits did not do anything. The cheese sat there in clumps. It took about 20 minutes to get a to go plate for one of the other young ladies at the table. I'm sure you get my drift by now. The customer service could have been way better. Restaurant: The restaurant itself was very nice. It had your typical "hole in the wall" feel to it which I love! That's when you know the food is going to be good. It reminds me of MLK Restaurant in Miami before it moved to its new location. Overall, despite the customer service I enjoyed the restaurant and my food. If ever I am in the area again, I would come back but probably just ask to sit in Jasmine's area. IJS. read more
