We used to have a wooden spoon in Lakeland, so when I saw this one I knew i had to stop! Their food is always hot and taste great. Their staff are kind, and on track. They have great iced coffee. The restaurant is always clean and honey. I love eating here and would make the drive again just to eat here since they closed the one in Lakeland. We miss you in Lakeland!

We came from Northern Virginia and found this place on Google Maps. It was spot on!!! We love their food and selections. Prices were great. We want to thank Chrysti for her great service, her awesome kindness, and beautiful personality. Thank you for truly making us feel like home. Thank you also to Juanita for your great welcoming. We will be back soon. I truly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

We had such a delicious breakfast here! The cinnamon roll pancake was AMAZING. We also tried the omlette special of the day, which was sausage and peppers, and it was delicious! Everything was very tasty. Our server was Aimee and she was so sweet and friendly! We had fantastic service and she was very helpful and wrote the sweetest message on my to-go box! If you're looking for a classic diner with amazing food, definitely come here! We cannot wait to come back!

I suggested that my husband and adult son try the Wooden Spoon Riverview for their lunch today. They were not disappointed! They chose the All You Can Eat Fish for Friday. They told me about their experience and they were very impressed with the food and service. The food is freshly cooked to order and the fish was crisp and the French fries were perfect! Johnny was their server and she was excellent and never kept them waiting for the additional fish or drinks. She was pleasant,friendly and professional. They had a wonderful experience at the Wooden Spoon Riverview and are already planning their next trip! So many great choices on the menu it seems it will be a difficult decision on their next breakfast or dinner. Thank you Johnny and the Wooden Spoon staff for a great lunch experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
