Wooden Spoon

We arrived here about 30 minutes to closing so I feel the need to mention this first. There were several people inside at different stages of eating so we figured it was fine. The food was actually really good, which is why I am giving this review 3 stars. The lady who served us was clearly rushed and wanted to be done, so I did my best to order quickly and eat fast. Even when I did my best to speed everything up and we actually left right at closing, I still felt we were treated as if we didn't belong. It was strange because the other people were still there enjoying their meals and she didn't seem to have any issues with them. I am just assuming they must have been locals. I normally would not make a post like this but I felt the level of disregard she had for us compared to the rest of the customers was really strange and I was just happy to leave when I did. I didn't even finish my coffee I felt so uncomfortable.

Morning breakfast called for a traditional location in Florida and all arrows pointed to Wooden Spoon. It's a yellow building located off the main road. The parking lot is small so careful it's hard to park. As you enter the establishment, its a time machine as you return to 70's counter top dinning experience. The servers are friendly and food is delivered quick at a low price. Our fear was the 5 month old fire engine who was starting to make awkward noises in our vehicle. The question, could he survive and not annoy everyone with his chants which leads to us earning the glances of death by the public. Kids ordered pancakes with eggs, I had sausage omelette and wife ordered eggs/pancakes with oatmeal. The breakfast was warm and ok for a traditional American breakfast. So if you're looking for a quick, low cost meal wooden spoon is the place especially with kids since meal prices are high at the KEYS.

Such a diamond in the rough....great food, great atmosphere and such friendly people! Our waitress was on top of our drinks, always smiling and genuinely seemed happy to be waiting on us! Service was extremely fast, food was delicious!

Super fast and friendly service. This feels like a "locals" breakfast spot, but us tourists feel right at home here! We never miss a chance to stop in when we're in the Keys. Save a napkin for your forehead if you get the Mexican omelet ♨️

Homemade breakfast! The biscuits were so big and yummy, service was great & the owners are super nice. We liked it so much we ate there every morning during our stay. Great spot!
