Good food. Desserts were excellent. Chicken fried steak was good. Hamburger was good, although there is no option on how it is cooked. It’s a big patty though. The brownie was excellent. Gooey and succulent without being undercooked. The bread pudding was very good. It was a bit more breadlike than I’m accustomed to, but it was great. I will definitely be back.

We’ve eaten here several times over the years, and we’ve loved it. This time, we had to write a review. Calleigh B, our waitress was amazing, sweet, personable….the food was mmm mmm good. Normally, places will turn people away when it’s close to closing time. Or give them bad looks. I saw people coming in shortly before closing, and they closed while waiting on their food. And the waitresses were so friendly in spite of it. I would definitely recommend coming

Dining at The Wooden Spoon was an absolutely wonderful experience that truly captures the heart of small-town hospitality and comfort food done right.

The service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. They made sure everything was just right while maintaining a relaxed, welcoming approach. You can tell they truly care about their guests and take pride in creating a positive dining experience.
Now, the food — the true standout.
Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. There’s a clear emphasis on quality and comfort, with meals that feel homemade in the best possible way. Portions were generous, and each bite delivered satisfying flavor that left a lasting impression.
The menu offers a great variety, making it easy to find something for everyone. Whether you’re craving something hearty and savory or something lighter, everything is made with care and attention to detail.

If you’re looking for great down home cooking and comfort food cuisine, you can find it here. I had the chicken fried steak and my lovely bride had the meatloaf. Completely satisfied! Our server was the sweetest person we’ve encountered in some time. We’ll eat here again.
Update Feb 16 2026 – we’ve made this our default stop when coming in to Gentry. Very pleased. Even with a busy dining room with lots of big groups we got good service. The food was very good as usual.

Many great salads to choose from. Wraps, Chicken Strips, a Burger and Fish. And then there are the desserts. A rural farm décor and atmosphere with classy modern feel. Check the pictures, especially the desserts. Everything is a delicious as it looks.
Mennonite ladies in their traditional conservative attire provide the superb service. Comfortable seating. An extremely popular restaurant. Go Early!

It’s just as good as it was 10 years ago! Good made from scratch home cooking! Their homemade lemonade was great and so was our food. The stellar star is their pie – bumblebee is the best! Highly recommend a stop in if you’re close!

Delicious! Just great! Great food, pleasant atmosphere, outstanding quality, and an all around awesome experience! This is quality food, not fast food, and so the price will reflect that. Expect to pay a minimum of around $15 per person and that price will increase if you order a soft drink or a dessert. ( The desserts looked delicious ) You may also experience a long wait time, so if you are in a hurry, this may not the best choice for you. However, at some point, you need to make this experience a priority.
