I came here for brunch on a snowy winter day so there were only a handful of other patrons. It's a cute little cafe with maybe 10 tables, plus bar seating. To start, we shared the crispy brussel sprouts Charleston style. These were delicious with the tangy sauce and large flakes of parmesan cheese. For my main, I had the brunch wrap. It comes with chips, but I swapped for fries for an additional charge. The wrap was a good size; I had half and saved the rest for leftovers. It was tasty, but not a ton of flavor. The tater tots were nice and crispy and I enjoyed the fresh tomatoes and avocado. They gave me a huge portion of crinkle cut fries, which also would've been great with a little more seasoning, but they were good when dipped in mayo. My husband got the shrimp and grits and appreciated the large portion size as well. I had a lemonade to drink. It was refreshing since it wasn't overly sweet. Service was great. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu! read more

Just as their tagline goes, this is undoubtedly a great place to get burgers, beer and grub. It's a somewhat small place with a great array of options, especially for lunch and brunch. Aesthetically, each table feels like a meal at a family dinner table; it's clear that they wanted that vibe to be translated, and it's done quite well. This is also supported by the service being very friendly and helpful in general. To eat, I had the French toast burger with sweet potato fries. Some others with me had various sides like regular fries and tater tots, and the same thing was present on them that tends not to be at most places: they were all perfectly salted/seasoned. It might seem immaterial, but it's a very good signal when something that simple--yet often neglected in favor of just using condiments to mask it--is executed well. If you're a burger place with fries that taste great without the need for a sauce or condiment, you're doing something right. The French toast burger was likewise fantastic, combining sweet and savory in a great way. To drink, we all got a communal pitcher of the only frozie they had available at the time: a kind of jungle juice vodka slushie. It, too, was great--worthy of multiple rounds. All in all, here's a place that I can't wait to give another visit. read more

Cute place with friendly service, but really disappointing food. I stopped by recently on a weekday for breakfast only to learn it's only served on weekends. Fair enough - so I changed gears to lunch and opted for their burrito bowl special. About the only positive thing I can say is that it was served hot. It did not seem to have any seasoning at all - bland white rice, beans, corn, some gristley steak, and some kind of mayonnaise based sauce. I won't be back. read more

Had the chicken and waffles, the chicken was bland, no flavor whatsoever, disappointing.

Great local spot with delicious comfort food and drinks. The place has a rustic diner setting with a long counter to eat at or have a sit at one of their many tables. Decent bar and drink selection to add their classic menu. I had the pleasure of tasting the steak frites. Tender steak with a little pepper kick served with wrinkled truffle parm fries. Huge plate and every bite was delicious. I really wanted to try their DIY Mac and cheese but got stuffed on my main course so that's my next visit order for sure. Service was attentive and friendly. Had a wonderful conversation with them while I worked (remote) and ate at the counter. Great experience. Great place. And there is free parking which is a bonus. read more

My family came on a weekend day around noon and were surprised at how empty things were. We were easily able to find a spot. But where was the brunch menu that everyone's talked about? Nonetheless, we found some good options for the family. The kid food options were good but didn't come with any sides, which was a bummer. Plus, they were on the pricier side. My Stinger sandwich was pretty good. I was able to give a lot of the fries to my kids. I ended up eating in pieces since it was hard to put fully in my mouth in one piece. The beer options make me so sad. I wish there was just one "good" beer, and I would have been happy. Blue Moon is about as good as it gets. Keeping at three stars because the food was ok. I definitely had high expectations, though, that do not feel quite met. read more

I came here for dinner with friends and we all really enjoyed our food! We ordered the stinger sandwich and steak frites. Their steaks were cooked exactly how they asked, and my chicken sandwich was delicious! The sauce they used on it was amazing, and I like how they used texas toast instead of a traditional bun. Staff were friendly and our table was constantly checked on. I do wish they refilled our water, but besides that everything was amazing! read more

Service was okay, even though not very busy, no one greeted me nor asked if they could help me until I approached the bar. There was a nice ambiance, but I ordered the Italian salad with fried chicken... and the chicken was so bland... I originally ordered the salad to go, but I wished I had eatened there... so I could have done expressed my disappointment. They have what it seems like a good late lunch menu, but spices would be welcomed... the lemonade was freshly squeezed, but there wasn't much of a lemon to water ratio and tasted watered down. read more

Delightful spot with attentive, pleasant service and very good food. Burger, fried chicken sandwich, and Mac-cheese all scored high with us. Easy off-on Hutchinson River Parkway for those traveling through. read more

One of my go to favorite places! We have been going to the wooden spoon since they opened and stayed with them then with the location change. The foot never disappoints, the atmosphere is great and I always leave happy and full. Give their original Brussel sprouts a try, their wings and anything they have on Texas toast because it just makes everything better! One of my favorites is their meatloaf, it won't disappoint! read more

Very tasty brunch spot. Excellent bloody Mary's and good brunch burritos. They have the butt pinching chairs though so there's that :/

I had a delicious Burrito Salad and they added perfectly sautéed and seasoned Blackened Cod. The dressing is homemade--a must for me. It's impressive that a place with so much great looking bar food has a salad this healthy! Maria, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. read more

Great food. Great service. Cozy atmosphere. Found it through Yelp, it was a little hard to locate at first. But well worth it.

A nice spot for some good American style food. They have an extensive list of salads, burgers, and sandwiches or you can simply build your own. I had the stinger sandwich. I was expecting it to be a lot spicier but regardless, it was good and I'd recommend it. Also the sides are amazing! Had sweet potato fries and tater tots. They were both crunchy and crispy and tasted mmm mmm good! I definitely want to try the fried pickles next time! Loved the cozy outdoor patio in the back. Went there on a Friday afternoon and there was only two other parties there, but I can imagine it would get pretty crowded during peak meal times. read more

The servers were friendly and thorough. The food came out, the burger was chewy and the short were extremely fatty, overcooked and very dry. read more

The server was nice and attentive, however the lemonade tasted like water. Then, I got the iced tea mixed with it and it still was not good. No sugar at all. I had the shrimp po'boy there was no seasoning and tots just remind me of school lunch. My significant other had a steak sandwich and I believe he said it was okay. I tasted the Mac n cheese and it was missing seasoning, The service, cleanliness, and vibe helped it at most very chill spot but the food is not memorable. read more

Legit I think we ordered one of everything on the menu here that's how much we ate. The Wooden Spoon is super cute and not too busy on a Saturday night. You can tell it's family run and that the staff really care about their customers. We shared a bunch of appetizers: fried pickles, fried ravioli, totchos, and the brussel sprouts (Charleston style without bacon). The tots and sprouts were the best. I'm not a huge fan of ravioli so I can't comment on that, and the pickles were fine. I really liked their wings. The sriracha ones were okay but I liked bbq more. The onion rings were absolutely delicious. The mac and cheese was SO gooey. I wasn't a huge fan of the ribs but the portion was massive. No matter what you get here, you have to come hungry. Drinks were good, whoever made them definitely had a heavy pour. I had a spicy strawberry jalapeño margarita and it was pretty good. The prices were amazing as well. We were shocked at how inexpensive everything was for the most part. read more

Great American bar / restaurant in New Rochelle! I stopped by for lunch with a group of friends, and we were seated right away. The Wooden Spoon has a huge menu of creative takes on American classics so there's something for everyone here. I ordered the Balboa Burger and was a bit underwhelmed - the patty was juicy but though the garlic bread bun and mushrooms should have been more flavorful. The tots were outstanding. The two favorites in the group were the garbage plate and the build-your-own burger. I'll definitely build my own next time. The Captain mac and cheese had good flavor but looked small compared to the other dishes. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in New Rochelle! read more

A second visit warranted another review and we love this little gem in downtown gritty New Ro. Spoon Salad and the infamous mushroom burger paired with a glass of wine and draft beer. Wow it was all so delicious! Service was gracious and we sat outside in the garden terrace- perfect for a late summer / early fall night. Best part of the evening was meeting Nick the owner - a New Ro local. What a wonderful guy. Enjoy! read more

Service: good, friendly. Food: not great, at all. We ordered lunch specials-- meatloaf and the balboa burger. The meatloaf lacked flavor, and was on the sweet side. Surprised by the lack of flavor. The burger was mediocre, not worth going back for. The chips were too oily, almost like the oil it was cooked in was bad? The soft drink was flat. Surprised bc I thought this place would be so good. Maybe we went on a bad day? read more

Honestly this food was not good . We just received an order from Uber eats . We ordered the chicken with biscuits and gravy and the chicken and waffles with the fried pickles. Everything was just a mess . The batter on the fried pickles was soggy and raw and not fully cooked. They were wet and slimy and my chicken and biscuits was terrible. The biscuit was ripped into pieces and the batter on the chicken was a soggy mess. This meal was not worth $50 and I wouldn't never complain about prices of something I want but this was very disappointing. I don't know how to respond personally to your response Nick T. But I'm saying The food wasn't cooked well I doubt it had anything to do with the Uber driver as the food was packed very well and delivered pretty fast . Thank you for your time and offer but I won't be needing that credit . read more

The Cod and Shrimp Fish Fry was delicious, not a drop a grease. The portion was very large and the prices are reasonable. The Staff are easy going, friendly and served our orders quickly.

Came to check out some yacht clubs and happened be in the neighborhood. Remembering a year ago this place had some good wings so we ordered again for takeout and a big disappointment today! I wondered that they must had changed the cook because the wings were so tasteless and poor quality! Fried chicken piece in the chicken waffle also was very bland. My little boy had two bites then refuse to give it another try. Popeyes is still the hero to him. The only decent food bought here today was their chicken bacon egg French toast sandwich had a little flavor but quit greasy The old boss lady was still nice at the cashier. Bathroom was very clean. read more

Probably the worst takeout food I've purchased in Westchester. Got the steak sandwich and fish wrap, there was no flavor to the food and poorly assembled. Overall food was greasy and unsatisfying, not to mention ended up paying $20 for each meal!! read more

Love this place!!! I've come here for dinner on holidays and on random week nights. It gets pretty busy - but, they have plenty of seating and the servers are great and attentive! I've had the burger here and it was super yummy and delicious!! It's juicy and very flavorful! The ambiance here is great, too! It's been a little loud when I've been here. But it's a casual dining spot with an array of food options. I'd definitely come back to try out more of their entrees! read more

I ordered a meatloaf dinner to be delivered and strawberry shortcake for dessert. The portions were sizable no complaint there. However, I think it's the worst meals I've ever had. I don't know what the flavor was. It was vinegar had been mixed in with the mashed potatoes? The meatloaf was also of that flavor but other than that, no discernible flavor and a very ground up texture. I was very disappointed as it should've been a fairly straightforward meal. It was also pricey. The strawberry shortcake was very soggy. read more

Really love this spot! I randomly found it via yelp while at work. My new coworkers and I decided to go give it a try, and I'm so happy we did! Burgers are juicy, and made to order. The fried pickles are huge, and really tasty! Tots are also absolutely perfect. Crunchy outside with perfect fluffy inside. Decor is great throughout, and I can't wait to return. read more

I have eaten at wooden spoon many times before and gotten deliveries, so i am very disappointed about what just occurred on 9/13/24. I ordered food through uber eats and the app alerted me that my order should have gotten there by that time, so i called the restaurant to find out the status. When I called the guy said he would call the delivery person and find out. He stated that the delivery guy was on his way and would arrive in 10 mins. I waited but 20 mins had passed and i couldn't track the delivery person on the app since they didn't use it. Uber just kept telling me to call the restaurant. I called again and was told that the guy delivery person was another 5 mins away. When the delivery guy arrived i asked him why he didn't set the app so i could see his eta on the app, he just responded that he doesn't know and he just works for the restaurant. So as i was turning around towards my door and trying to think how i was going to tip this guy on the app, he made a comment towards me "next time tip!" Thats when i really got angry and called the restaurant for the owner or manager. When i called I requested to speak to the owner/ manager and the name of the delivery person, the guy on the phone only gave me your name and refused to give me the name of the delivery guy and stated that he cannot disclose the name of his delivery guy. I only wanted it so when i spoke to a manager i could reference back to this person- Well after he refused to give me the name, he rudely hung up the phone on me. I am so angry with the poor customer service. I've lived in new rochelle my whole life. I've seen businesses like this in New Rochelle due to the poor customer service. After this I will never go to Wooden Spoon. I emailed the owner and he never responded to my concern! read more

Not sure what happened but this is my second bad experience in a row. Under staffed. Food mediocre.

Now let me say this first The quality of the food was AMAZING... I had ordered the Fried Chicken and Waffles with a side of scrambled eggs with vegetables. Upon my arrival, the location of the place is right in the trenches of New Rochelle. Nice location, you just would need to use the public parking lot nearby. So anyways the quality of the food was great; Their outdoor seating was cute. But then as soon as I asked about the mimosas and if it was bottomless (which I didn't get an answer well technically I did after checking my bill lol but it is what it is). I felt a weird vibe... because I felt like after my first beverage, I felt the other tables were getting checked on more than my table. Maybe I had intimidated the staff I don't know. But I found myself just sitting there while both waiters kept on asking if the other tables were good or needed anything literally within 5 mins. If was shortly after I had gotten my food that I felt I was being checked on. But overall. I do recommend checking this place out (my compliments to the chef for "customizing my side order of scrambled eggs and the quality of the perfectly seasoned fried chicken with waffles". I wish they would of added a bit more of syrup but that's ok. I do find myself checking this place out again. The employees were nice. So there you go! Check this place out Please support the locals read more

There seems to be a plethora of restaurants in New Rochelle and the Wooden Spoon is one of them. They had high top seating inside and cool outdoor area in the back. They had cornhole and park bench style seating out back that looked fun for a happy hour. When we came it was too hot to sit out there though. As for the food the totchos were tater tots in the form of nachos that I am seeing pop up on a lot of menu's these days. I love tater tots since it reminds me of my childhood! The totchos were good but they are heavy. I also had the spoon salad which was just ingredients in a bowl. Not my favorite or most cohesive salad. My colleague got the cali and it wasn't bad. It was tuna on a sandwich with some other toppings. The food is your typical bar food nothing less nothing more. I would come back for a happy hour in the back seating area when it is not 100 degrees. Cool place! read more
