Steak Frites
Angel M.

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.

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.

Steak Frites

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!

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!

The Stinger Sandwich w/ tots
Royce R.

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.

Shrimp po boy & Mac & Cheese & Sliced Steak Sandwich w/ fries or tots
Syeda P.

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.

Veggie Wrap w/ fries or tots
Olesya P.

What a great small place with amazing patio outside! Service was so nice! Place has many vegetarian options as well as non vegetarian. Super quick service, reasonably priced and absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend anyone to come to this place. Soup was great! Hush browns were best hush browns I have ever tried.

Baby Back Ribs w/ fries and corn
Jackie S.

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.

Menu

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!

Fried Chicken and waffles Tomato soup Steak Frites
Santiago S.

The Wooden Spoon has always been a staple for us who live in New Rochelle, the perfect blend of comfort and American cuisine theres honestly no reason to not go. Great prices and my usual is either the chicken&waffles or grilled cheese with tomato soup

DIY Salad
Ashley S.

The food was sub par. I too wished they'd follow instructions and gotten my order right. I would come back here again because there's a selection of dishes I saw that seem pleasing. I'll update my review then.

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