Just visited the slotted spoon for lunch. Had my heart set on trying the corn chowder but unfortunately it was not their soup of the day. I opted for a salad and turkey panini, which was very good. Great atmosphere, good and service. I recommend you give it a try.

Got 2 chicken ceasar salads full size to go. Over 30 dollars. Very expensive. There was chicken in it and lettuce and ceasar dressing. Could only find 2 small slices of parmesan in the whole salad. No croutons. Not very much dressing either. Won’t go back. Way over priced. Not very good either.

This was our first time using their service for an event of 150 guests. The mac and cheese and the beans were good, though not exceptional. However, there were too many issues that made the overall experience disappointing. Communication felt inconsistent from the beginning, and that same lack of communication continued throughout the event.
We were told the team would arrive at 5:30 PM to set up and that dinner would be served at 6:30 PM. Unfortunately, that did not happen. For an event of this size, at least four experienced servers should have been present to manage the serving line efficiently. Instead, there were only two people — the owner and one other helper — which made service feel unprepared and overwhelmed. Industry standards recommend 5–6 servers for 150+ guests, not two.
Regarding the food, the Italian beef was placed on hamburger buns, which made the presentation less appealing. Some guests enjoyed the chicken, while others said it was dry, so the feedback was mixed. The salad was supposed to include red onions; however, some plates had none and some had only one or two thin slices. The dressing portion was very minimal, and additional dressing was not placed on the tables so guests could add more if needed — again, a clear lack of communication. Several guests also mentioned that the buns were hard, which affected the overall meal experience. Some guests mentioned that the brownies were hard and overly rich, which affected their enjoyment of dessert.
One of the biggest disappointments was the beverages. We ordered lemonade and iced tea, yet both ran out extremely quickly. When asked about it, the owner said she had portioned 8 oz per person. For 150 guests, she brought only 11 gallons total. That means guests were only expected to have one small drink with no option for a second serving — which is unreasonable for any catered event. When the drinks ran out, guests were given water straight from the faucet. Many were understandably upset, especially since that was not what was discussed or expected.
There were simply too many moments where things felt unorganized and ill-prepared. I truly believe this event may have been too large for them to handle, and the pressure showed. Professionalism, preparation, and communication were lacking, and those areas are critical for a successful event of this size.
I hope this feedback helps the business grow stronger and ensures more consistency for future clients.

Always warm and cozy environment when I get to eat at The Slotted Spoon. Food is delicious and good comfort food when having lunch with friends or family.
Also love their take and bake… perfect for sharing with friends who might have been sick or a new parent!

The place looks so welcoming and cozy the food I got wasn’t what I expected. The soup didn’t taste to good to me and didn’t look appealing. My Italian sub was dry. Hope to go back on a better day and try something different on the menu.

OK I was excited to see this place finally open like for seating and eating in. Really nice people and great customer service. I ordered the strawberry salad and it was delicious. Bowl could’ve been a little bigger, it was hard to mix up the salad because of the small bowl. Nice casual atmosphere, if I lived closer I’d be ordering their to go meals.

Not bad, but from the brownie batch visible in case, I thought I was getting a good size piece considering the price. But since they put it in a round container, it was much smaller. Boo! But it tased good. Yay! Wife got the soup. Was supposed to come with focaccia, but she got a packet of oyster crackers. Boo! But creamy chicken noodle soup was good. Yay! But the Panini made up for the snafu. Good portion. Great flavor. Worth the $11.39. I was concerned but they pulled it off well. Yay!
Get squared box for desserts, and give the focaccia instead of crackers like advertised, and it would be all “Yay’s!” & 4 or 5 stars. Will still go back. Official score: 3.50797 stars

Such a nice, cozy place in the middle of Danville. Hospitable hostess, food was great . They have a wide variety of desserts and bake at home food items. Highly recommend, I would definitely go back there.

I haven’t had sweets in over 2 weeks so I had my taste buds set for the wedding cake which is supposed to be the favorite dessert. OMG my feelings are so hurt that I wasted my sugar intake on such a dry chalky tasting cake. It was old! You guys are so wrong for even serving it!

I just came in today for the first time. I got lemon bars, chicken pot pie, cheeseburger sliders, sloppy joes and meatball subs. I ate a lemon bar on the way home and it was delicious. I had the sloppy joes for dinner and they were amazing. Really glad I found this place. The woman at the front was really nice too. I enjoyed talking to her. Nice and clean inside. Will definitely be back and will tell everyone about it too.
