Stopped by on our way home from Thanksgiving in Key West. Saw a crowded parking lot and decided to try it. The three ladies working the grill and counter were busy as the place was packed. If you're looking for something out of Michelin guide, forget it. If you're looking for eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast - served fast and cooked... more

30 minutes to get a menu, 40 minutes to get a drink and nearly an hour to receive our meals. The food was nothing to rave about – simple at best, poorly executed, sloppily presented and inconsonant. We watched as six tables were greeted and served before us. While our server was saccharine sweet, there were no genuine apologies for... more

You can always count on a great breakfast or lunch at the Wooden Spoon. I go there whenever I pass through. I had the best rueben I have had in a while. The hamburgers where excellent also. You know not pre made like so many small places. The prices are fantastic. If it is busy it's worth the wait. more

We just returned from our trip to the Keys. Several people recommended that we try the Wooden Spoon for breakfast on Marathon. After enjoying our first breakfast there so much, we had to have a repeat before our trip ended. We ate early (between 6am and 7am), so no problems with a wait. The food, service and local atmosphere were... more

We ate an early (0700) breakfast at the Wooden Spoon based on the advice of a local (Stout's - near airport-is another good breakfast eatery). The restaurant is a good spot for a basic breakfast at a good price. We were advised of poor service but was not the case for us; we were the second customer. more

Great place to eat breakfast without paying a lot. It's a small place and seems to be frequented by the locals. Specials are plentiful and well done...lots of choices and variety of standard breakfast fare....all of it good. Try the banana or other fruit breads...they pan fry a huge slice in butter and serve it warm! Enjoy the hundreds of... more

A place the average traveler may look past as it appears on the "old" side, but do stop and enjoy the wonderful traditionl American breakfast as a very good price. A favorite of the locals, for sure so be friendly and sit up next to someone if that's the only free seat. more

After reviewing places to dine for breakfast on our way to Key Largo from Key West, the Wooden Spoon was mentioned as one of the local favorites. When we pulled into the parking lot, the restaurant was packed. This must be a good thing we thought. Wrong! We waited over an hour to get our eggs. There is nothing special... more

After striking out on breakfast twice already on our trip, we were a little hesitant to try again. I'm glad we did. The Wooden Spoon is your basic little diner. Finally got some fried eggs. Fresh bread was very good. Highly recommend the grits. more

Was driving to one coffe house, spotted the Wooden Spoon, thought we would give it a try. Great 60's diner atmosphere, freindly staff and other diners. Overall - a good experience - but don't order the chicken fried steak - it's a small freezer patty, covered in a slightly sweet sausage gravy, not very good at all. My girlfriend had... more
