Wooden Spoon — Restaurant in Marathon

I would give this place a perfect 5 based solely on the food, but I just can’t with my experience with a rude server from the “other side” of the diner. A little kindness and softer tone goes a long way. I am a current diner owner, with a server background and I would have been completely embarrassed if one of my servers spoke to a customer the way she spoke to me. My server had disappeared for awhile, the place was getting busy again and we had been waiting to check out and in need of a to-go box. I wanted to vacate our table quickly to make room for new customers, So I walked to the counter and was scolded like a child for trying to give her my bill and cash payment. No change was needed and I kindly asked for a box. She was clearly irritated then she raised her hand, raised her voice, raised her attitude and gestured that I was seated on the other side of the establishment and needed to pay my server directly. That they don’t touch each other’s tickets. That’s fine but you didn’t have to be rude. How could I have known, never have been there before? Food was great, portions too. Just stay on the “other side” of the diner. Just...

The Wooden Spoon — where time stands still and your waitress disappears into the void.

Went here for breakfast because I thought it’d be a cozy little spot to kickstart the day. Turns out, it was more like being trapped in a tiny waiting room with pancakes as bait.

The space? Cozy, if "cozy" means you’ll accidentally elbow your neighbor every time you reach for your coffee.

We waited over an hour after being seated to get our food — that’s right, an hour AFTER sitting down. Pretty sure I aged a decade and could have grown my own chickens and harvested the eggs faster.

As for the waitress, we saw her exactly three times: 1️⃣ To take our drink order. 2️⃣ To deliver our long-lost breakfast, an hour later. 3️⃣ To drop the check, probably so she could vanish back into Narnia.

The food itself? Average. Which is a shame, because if you’re going to make people wait that long, it better be life-changing.

Overall, if you enjoy long existential waits and playing "Where’s Waldo?" with your server, this is your place. Me? I won't be back. My schedule (and my sanity)...

Our server was nice, however, the food was NOT worth the wait. We were a party of 3 and dined here at 10 on a Saturday morning.

I work in sit down breakfast cafes and totally expect a wait at a vacation spot on a weekend at 10.

We waited about 35 minutes for a table and decided to sit at the counter. Food then took 47 minutes after we ordered. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches and a waffle. The chef does a single check at once and works by himself.

If you do come here, do NOT sit at the counter. The employees put dirty dishes right in front of you and walk away. There are buss bins under the counter, which is fine. However, putting dirty dishes in front of customers? Eating or not, that is not okay.

Two sandwiches, a waffle, a coffee, juice and a soda, came out to $48 pre-tip. Not worth the mediocre food, price, and wait combined.

I do not want to discourage anyone from coming here but rather set realistic expectations.

Im sure this place is good for locals, off seasons and during the weeks. If are on a time crunch do...
