The best part about our visit was the service, everything else was a miss. The food tasted bland and like it was missing something, and my husbands coffee tasted burnt. We'll pass on this next time and go to Layered instead, I reccomend y'all do the same if you're thinking of coming here for breakfast

If you like burnt coffee and food with no flavor then this is the place for you I will not be coming back!

We’ve eaten at Spoons many times. Spoons has a large list of food options that include gluten free bread. As someone who eats gluten free, it’s a treat to be able to get an excellent club sandwich that meets my dietary restrictions. Staff is always friendly, the food is tasty and Spoons continues to be a place we enjoy eating at.

Nachos were decent. The coffee was amazing. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffle was really good but the chicken was mid.

Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to enjoy the food today, which has always been good. After sitting and watching 3-4 other parties of two, who arrived after us be seated, we were "offered" to go to the Garage restaurant at the rear of Spoons. Weren't given a reason why we weren't seated though. Went to the Garage, sat down and watched two other parties of two who walked in behind us order their food and start eating before anyone ever said anything to us. Another diner felt so bad he said something to the servers who were ignoring us. My wife had already left by that point. I went back to Spoons and saw the manager who was more than happy to seat us. Maybe another day.

Gosh, I was incredibly bummed out by the experience we had at Spoons Cafe. My friend and I went here for lunch on a Tuesday. She ordered an omelet and the southern potatoes, I ordered the southwestern salad sans chicken. The salad was good; however, the carrots were just baby carrots thrown in, not even cut in half, the corn was crinkled and dehydrated. My friend’s dish had a beard hair or thick arm hair. When we told the waitress she stated she would comp the hair meal. When she handed us the check it was not comped. We had to ask for it to be taken off the bill. That happened fairly early into the meal and these two moms finally getting out of the house couldn’t even eat a meal. We had to head home shortly after. All of that being said, I honestly wanted to give it a shot. Hopefully, they get some hair nets and keep the dishes free form hair next time.Parking: There is plenty of parking in Downtown McKinney, but plenty of people too. So just be sure to be open to walking. It’s really a great downtown.

Arrived at 11:15am 3/3/24 .The server that greeted me and my fiancé was very friendly and professional. The waitress here are very rude .I was told by a server it was ok to sit at a table outside.The waitress comes up and ask both of us to get up regardless if we have a reservation. I feel there needs to be better communication.I completely understand that during this hour it can be busy . Definitely needs to be more coordination and being polite to everyone. It was not bothering anyone to sit there . Other customers are just standing along with us waiting to sit at any table.This will probably be my last time coming back here .

Party of 15. I called a few days before to see if they could accommodate us. They said they would put us on the list that morning. I confirmed that we were still coming the day before and they texted the morning of to confirm as well. Got there on time, we were all immediately seated - 2 large booths and one high top, which was perfect. Servers were very friendly, got us drinks and took our orders quickly. Good assortment of breakfast choices in menu. Only one minor error when food came. Quickly fixed. Servers checked on us frequently. VERY pleased with how it all worked out. Total bill for 15 not including tip was @$250.

Can get really busy as it is downtown McKinney but breakfast and lunch is perfect. Great sized meals and really good breakfast selections. We love coming down here early weekend mornings for breakfast. I judge a place by its Eggs Benedict and they never fail (yolk never over cooked). Biscuts and Gravy are also a fave and the coffee cup is never empty. It can get busy, and staff/kitchen can a bit overloaded but who is in a hurry anyway?

I ate here for breakfast each day with the family and I have to tell you the food was just phenomenal and filling. The chicken and waffles I highly recommend as well as the pancakes and bacon.

Took an hour to find a parking spot. Was told 20-25 minutes, had 4 people in front of us. After 35 minutes, they sat 4 groups that came in after us. There were 2 tables sitting empty and when asked, they were saving those for a larger group. The lady up front obviously was sitting whoever she wanted. I expected much better from this place. People should be set by first come not by how many in a party. There was only 3 of us!!

Used to love this place. My family and I would frequent it the last two years. The last several times we have been the service has been absolutely terrible. No server greeting us at the table for over 15 minutes many times and with one time where we had to just walk out. Food taking a ridiculously long time to come out with the quality not as good as it once was. We will not be back.
