My wife and I enjoyed a late breakfast (10:30 a.m.) at the Wooden Spoon Diner located in the Imperial Christina Plaza at 6960 Florida Avenue S, Lakeland, Florida. The restaurant wasn’t very busy at this hour and so we were seated right away. Our server Jeannie was attentive and cheerful. I ordered their three-egg omelet with feta cheese and spinach. (This combination isn’t on the menu, but they are willing to make a special order.) The omelets come with your choice of home fries, hash browns, grits or seasonal fruit cup and toast or a biscuit. I chose hash browns and a biscuit. The omelet was delicious, and the hash browns were crispy, just as I like them. The biscuit was small but very tasty. My wife ordered the garden omelet that’s made with tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and American cheese. She chose the seasonal fruit cup and wheat toast as her sides. She was also very pleased with her meal. We like supporting local businesses and the Wooden Spoon is one of our favorites! It is definitely worth the trip, and we will be back, soon!The Imperial Christina Plaza is located at the southernmost end of Lakeland at the intersection of South Florida Avenue and Shepard Road. Right before South Florida changes to North Church Avenue in Mulberry. There’s plenty of easy parking, too!

My Son called and asked us to meet him at the wooden spoon. We did and it is one of the few wonderful places to eat. They are efficient and friendly. Oh then the food was delivered. There was 5 of us and 3 of us got the pork tenderloin. It is as big as a dinner plate. So good. Everything we got was great. The building is really nice. Our server was great. It's rare for me to rate anyplace this high but they are great.
It's fish friday! If you like fish! I'm just saying!Parking: It's a huge parking lot!

Friendly greeting as soon as you enter the building and the service just got even better from there. Jess was our server and was so sweet and helpful. She consistently checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. The portions were very generous for the price and we even took home 3 to-go boxes. My sons are like junior Gordon Ramseys and they couldn't stop raving about the food. We will be back soon to try more yummy items on the menu. We recommend the bacon, cinnamon roll pancakes and the biscuits and gravy!!!
