Spoons and Forks — Restaurant in Princeton

We went on a Friday night at about 7pm as a party of 3 meeting our daughter who is at Bradley U, this was halfway for both of us. It was quite loud when we arrived and we had to wait at the bar for about 10 minutes before they had a table available but the attentive waitress offered us drinks while we waited. We were seated in short order and given menus and our sodas refilled. The menu is varied with plenty of options including gluten free, vegan and vegetarian offerings. Spoons is located in a historic building and the colorful history of the location is featured at the bottom of the menu - don't miss that if you enjoy knowing the background of places you visit. Also don't miss their Cuban sandwich - it's quite tasty! We also ordered an Italian wrap - delicious! and the pulled pork dish - very good. The fries are also perfectly seasoned, salted and cooked. For dessert we shared a piece of the Italian lemon cream cake which we really enjoyed. For the three of us the bill was under 40 and we left very satisfied with our experience. We'll be back again Spoons, thanks for a great dining...

Another one of my straightforward, honest reviews! I was in the little town of Princeton, IL this weekend for an event Sunday-Monday, and though nothing jumped out at me as far as a "must try" place to eat, after doing some research, I decided to try Spoons and Forks. If you are in west-central Illinois, it's definitely worth the trip! I ordered a bowl of their chili, as well as their vegetable curry with chicken added. I could have had a meal just with the bowl of chili, which, while it had a unique flavor, was truly outstanding! I love to try different chilis...well over 300 of them around the USA, and this one is in my top 5! The vegetables in the chili were not "mush" and still had nice texture to them. The bowl was huge! Perfect amount of heat, meat, and flavor. The same could be said for the curry bowl. Huge! Peapods, peppers, onions, and vegetables that had great texture, and the perfect amount of heat. Shredded chicken and the jalapenos on top were a perfect balance. Price was more than reasonable; service was excellent. I will return here if I ever come to...

I can’t attest to the quality of the food because unfortunately, after waiting for almost an hour, watching every single table (inside and outside) being served their food, we were still waiting for ours. After being told there was a printer issue and there would be a slight delay, we still continued to watch all other tables, except for ours, being served food. At that point, we decided to pay for our drinks and leave. I can understand that businesses are short staffed during this time, but we arrived shortly after 11 and were only the third table of people seated inside and no one was seated at the outdoor tables yet. We watched table after table of people arrive after us that received their food pretty quickly. Our waiter was kind, but the rest of the waitresses and staff were very rude and unprofessional. This was was my first experience with Spoons and will most definitely be my last. I’ll continue to take my...
