Stopped in here will traveling. They were busy but we were sat pretty quickly. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant has a "back at home" feel. There are daily specials and the menu has tons of options! The strawberry shortcake mimosa was a treat! The meatball sub was delicious, get the onion rings!! read more

I was surprised the food was really good because their clientele was mostly on the older side. The service was minimal like the restaurant was packed. The coffee surprise was the only negative. I don't like to chew the last couple sips. read more

It was my first visit to this local eatery. And despite being warned not to go, I decided to try it for myself. For starters it wasn't as bad as he described to me. The staff was very friendly and I was seated immediately by the greeter. It did take a few minutes to come by for my drink order. It was long enough to be able to study the menu. When she came I asked for a water and coffee. For my breakfast I ordered a Country Benedict with a side of grits. Coffee was good and for a little while I was thinking refills weren't free. Eventually she did come by refill my cup and even topped it off before I was done eating. The Country Benedict...the eggs were poached really well. They sat atop 2 sausage patties and on top of 2 biscuits covered in sausage gravy. I have questions about the sausage gravy. The bits of sausage was square chunks which caused me to think that the sausage gravy came from a can and not made in the kitchen. It lacked a bit of flavor and could have used a bit more seasoning. The place looked to be really clean. And from the looks of it the place has its regular crowd that comes in to hang out, get the local gossip, and eat. The place is decorated modestly and there were several big pictures of food. Kind of reminded me of a lot of small Chinese Take Out places. Honestly, it wasn't as bad as it was described to me. But I will add that I'm willing to try it again, maybe for lunch. read more

We came by on Valentines and it was busy. We were seated pretty quickly and our waitress Julie was friendly and engaging. We had a Garden omlett and Country fried steak. We enjoyed our coffee and Julie kept it filled. Our breakfast was good and cooked to order. The feel is very casual and local vibe which we enjoyed. read more

After seating no one took our drink order much less food order. One in our party had to get up & ask for someone to take our drink order after about half an hour. Food was good. When I got my check I was overcharged & waitress argued with me then came back & said I was right & lowered bill. Then I was supposed to get a percentage back as a promotion with my bank. Never got it and when my bank researched it they said merchant declined, even though my my purchase met all criteria. Never had this happen before! Called Wooden Spoon a nice lady said they would look into it and call me back. They never called me back. I would not give this place my business again read more

I tried one bite of the crab cake Benedict and immediately knew something was off--it tasted bad and overly fishy. I let our waitress know, and she kindly took the plate back. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to wait for a replacement, so I just picked off my family's plates. When we received the bill, I noticed the crab cake Benedict was still listed. I flagged someone down to let them know it had been mistakenly included, only to find out she was the manager. Instead of being understanding, she told us that because we ordered it, we had to pay for it--despite the fact I didn't eat it and it was taken back right away. I was genuinely shocked by how unfriendly, rude, and argumentative she was. It was a disappointing experience and left a bad impression after what had otherwise been a nice outing with my family. Unfortunately, they have lost a regular customer, as we will not be going back. read more

Wooden Spoon offers up traditional diner food that is affordable and tasty. My wife and I ordered lunch here on a weekday via UberEats. My wife and I ordered lunch through UberEats. Two buffalo chicken wraps and a triple decker Reuben. The first thing we noticed is they have a huge menu. There are no shortage of options to choose from for either lunch or dinner. The food came pretty quick. About 40 minutes. We opened up our styrofoam trays and everything looked and smelled good. Everything was still hot thanks to our UberEats driver storing the food in an insulated bag for the 4 mile trip. My triple decker Reuben was filling and tasty. The corned beef was a little tough but had that briny, salty flavor I was looking for. The sauerkraut was good as well. There was no sauce on but instead was served on the side. This turned out to be a good thing. The sandwich was already greasy and messy. The rye bread it was on was fresh and soft and had pockets of grease soaked mushiness that is to be expected. I dipped it in thousand island and finished the entire thing. The fries on the side were excellent and didn't even need ketchup I thought. They were crunchy and had a good flavor to them. For delivery fries, these were probably the best we have had. My wife and sister both got buffalo chicken wraps. They enjoyed them as well. Filling and tasty with the same fries I had. One sad thing was that all our meals should have been served with a pickle spear on the side. None of them had it. We love pickles and definitely were looking forward to those. We also ordered a soda but that was not delivered either. Luckily, UberEats took care of that one and refunded it immediately. All in all, a decent meal for lunch. A little on the heavy side but it was good. I looked forward to dining in here one day and trying out their breakfast or any of their other lunch items. read more

Food was great. All you can eat fish on Friday. problem was only 3 pieces of fish to start instead of 4 like the pictures show. 20 minutes wait for the seconds and by that time the french fries are ice cold. And you have sat so long your full. Old and dated. read more

My first visit and I learned they have great food, great service, great prices, and they are veteran friendly.

The service was quick to be seated and even though they are busy for lunch they were quick to take our order and was very nice. I couldnt decide between 2 items and the waitress helped me and boy was she right. The Rueben is one of the best in the area. I don't usually like coleslaw but here it is really good. The kids chicken tenders were huge, my 7 year old said "They are bussin'". (Kids lingo means they are amazing!). My 8year old said the cheeseburger was amazing but to big!! He could only eat 1/2. The restaurant is small but very busy almost all seats full but service is quick and friendly. The music playing was not to loud or overbearing. And was restaurant appropriate for kids and adults. Over all it wqs a very good experience. We will be back as the whole family enjoyed their food and atmosphere read more

Food is great . Large portions. Service is good . Wait is a bit long especially on Sundays . Not a fancy place . Would recommend Pancakes and wraps . read more

The service was subpar. We were seated at 10:10am at 10:20 they finally took our drink order. 3 waters. At 10:27 they brought our drinks. Must have had to wait for ice to freeze. At 10:33 finally took food order. At 11:05 food shower up. Mine was barely warm. At 11:08 the bill arrived. Really? Three minutes to eat. Very very poor. read more

Very Nice! Good food and GREAT VARIETY. WOuld recommend to friends!' Staff was friendly and courteous. read more

Well we ate here for the all you can eat fish fry and it was very good. The staff was friendly, quick and very helpful. They stopped by the table several time to ensure we were satisfied and to check it we needed anything. The fish was crisp on the outside and moist inside. The serving was big, but I did go back for a second helping just couldn't resist. We got fries and the coleslaw. The fries were abundant, and done perfectly the coleslaw was creamy and delicious . I would recommend this to anyone who likes Good Fries Fish. Thanks to the Staff at the Wooden Spoon! read more

Service very nice. Had the crab cake. I'm from Maryland. The crab cake was all claw. Different. The eggs Benedict was very good. Buff chick wrap was very good also the fries. Large portions. Sloppy Joe was good. We would try again. The restaurant was too cold. They were out of coleslaw husband really wanted read more

I was trying to figure out what I wanted to eat. I knew they had all you can eat fish on Friday. So due to the pandemic going on, I like to look online to see a menu. Well the only menu I seen online makes no mention of anything about the only day they have all you can eat fish. I didn't see any sides listed for the Friday night special of fish. It also doesn't have any prices for it. My parents said they usually get it so I knew they had it. So we called. It usually comes with fries and coleslaw only. If the fish is small pieces then you get 5 pieces. So 4 pieces of fish is standard for $13.00 Well we got 2 orders for $26. and something. The potato salad is very good. I liked the Coleslaw. The fish I must say I am glad it came in something other than glass dishes. If it was in glass or plastic I would have to catch it again, because of the amount of greasiness of the pieces. I would have to chase it around my plate. I tell you the truth when I can't choose different sides for my dinner, lunch, or breakfast, it's time to leave. I may or may not give them another chance. I have had breakfast here before the pandemic, and I really enjoyed it. This is going to take some thinking through before I decide to go back or not. Money is tight all around. I really want to see businesses succeed. read more

Wonderful breakfast. Big servings and the combo with French toast was more than enough to last the day!! Serving staff was attentive and we're working hard to keep everyone happy! read more

Had a great breakfast with the family! Simple yet great home cooked meals. Ganna be back soon! Eggs Benedict

Best coffee!!! Great service and food. The fried green tomatoes are great. Pancakes and breakfast always great.

This food was 1 out of 10. Bread was soggy on BLT. Pancakes weren't cooked thoroughly Will never come here again. Wouldn't suggest to anyone. Go and get some Macdonald breakfast before thinking about coming here. read more

Fabulous breakfast! Try the wooden spoon combo and ask for blueberry pancakes. They melt in your mouth. Servers are great, too!

Came in with my mom and brother. We were seated and our waitress was a little behind on the drinks, no big deal. We had enough time to figure out what we wanted to eat and order our drinks for reference. After ordering we never saw our waitress again and after 40 minutes of waiting on a standard breakfast we decided to leave. We informed a DIFFERENT waitress (Because our original waitress failed to check on us) we wanted to leave. The different waitress was very accommodating and even figured out that a cook in the back messed up our order which is why it never came. Now that normally wouldn't be that big a deal but our original waitress' failure to communicate this didn't help at all. read more

EAT HERE. I saw an ad for the Friday fish fry and am a sucker for fish fries. I had also read an article in the local Plant City Observer. Finally got in three weeks after my plan. 2:30 Friday afternoon. Figured I would try my luck. Place was pretty quiet, no surprise light drizzle and mid afternoon. Always fear the non prime time cook, but is was what I could fit in. Sat me right down, brought me a menu and coffee. Menu made me pause. Four pages. Two breakfast and two lunch and dinner. They make there own corn beef hash. But the fish fry called to me. Then I saw it on the menu and the picture on the wall. Pork tenderloin sandwich. I grew up on those in Indiana and they are only equaled by the perfect country fried steak What to choose. Stayed true to my plan Sweet Mother of Pearl it was fantastic. Three pieces of fish crispy and golden brown outside and juicy inside on s bed of fries. And EVERY fry was done to perfection. Cole slaw was excellent and I don't like cole slaw. My server was Krystin and she did try to tell me about the tenderloin. Service was great, prompt and helpful and other servers noticed if my water was low and asked. They asked me twice if I wanted more fish but what I had was more than enough. Took home corn beef hash and two over medium eggs for my son. He eventually looked up from the styrofoam, drooling with a satisfied gleam in his eye. I'm definitely going back. Don't ruin it and over run it but give it your business read more

The food was good and the service was fine. The place was full of flies and they were very distracting during the meal. The part of the restaurant I could see could use a good scrubbing which does make me wonder what the parts I couldn't see are like. read more

Food was good but not a great experience overall. We were met by Kayla around 2 pm and told her our dilemma of finding an open restaurant. She said she wishes she could turn people away early but the owner sometimes sends in plants (how does she know we aren't?). Olivia was our waitress and seemed sweet but annoyed because I asked for my toast 3 times. My husband ordered the country Benedict but they were out of gravy so he changed to regular eggs Benedict and the eggs were hard and more like omelettes on toast. We were afraid to bother them again since the cook sat in the restaurant and demanded very loudly that he did not want to cook ONE MORE THING! Well he had someone else in the kitchen make the poached eggs and they turned out fine. In the age of Covid, when so many shell business are struggling to stay open, one cannot afford to make guests feel unwelcome even if we do show up 30 minutes before closing. We still tipped 25 percent but would have been more if we didn't feel so unwelcome and like we were imposing on them. The cook's girlfriend was nice, we chatted a bit with her on our way out the door, but they should discuss their personal issues at home, not when the restaurant is quiet with the music turned off (which they did as soon as we were seated). read more

What a fantastic hot breakfast catered by the Wooden Spoon, Plant City for Dover Elementary School's staff during Teacher Appreciation Week! The grits were absolutely delicious - so creamy good! The scrambled eggs, sausage links, and homemade biscuits were mouth-watering good. You made a lot of teachers and staff happy, full, and ready to start the school day! The Wooden Spoon did a fantastic job catering a delicious breakfast! read more

We have eaten breakfast here before and it was really good but today I decided to stop by and try one of their pork tenderloins. Being from the Midwest, it's hard to find a good pork tenderloin. But this one was terrific. Are you kidding me look at the size of this one would highly recommend this restaurant read more

I love the Wooden Spoon! I like trying diners and I stumbled upon this gem one day and it's my new fav in Plant City.

Great service! Great breakfast place. Friendly hometown feeling. The blueberry pancakes are always spot on.

The most worst experience I ever had in a restaurant. Had to wait over an hour for my food and when the food arrived it was cold. Ask them to reheat food they were going to microwave it. Walked out of restaurant read more
