What an amazing breakfast...so delicious! We have never seen so many variations on eggs Benedict. And what was even better than the food...the phenomenal staff who are extremely friendly and work together as a team. Thank you for a great breakfast experience. �
First thing is first ballin in the new year omg good. I heard lots about this place and i finally had a chance to go and im so glad i did. Hands down best place in town. And the server Jacklin is awesome she rocks she was on top of things and knew what she was doing. �
Pros: Wait for a table wasn't too long (15 mins on a Saturday morning) as it isn't in the downtown core and there are plenty of tables. Lots of available free parking on the side. The food is pretty cheap, and you get a lot of it. Everything tasted pretty good!
Cons: There was a long wait for our food, and when we did get it, both meals were cold. Our waitress was very understanding though, she offered to have it remade (I just asked for a quick microwave) and gave us a big discount off our bill. The coffee wasn't amazing, yet I don't expect much from a diner anyways.
We will probably go back, just because our issue was handled so well by our waitress, yet can't give it 5/5 as it wasn't an amazing experience.
Fabulous food, great atmosphere, excellent staff and then some. What more can I say? Do I have any complaints? YES! the portions are huge! So, NO not really a complaint. Yes I had to wrap it up, and yes I ended up finishing it on the ferry to Vancouver. And hell yes! it was fantastic and I can't wait to go there again.
Love this place. Best breakfast in town with the friendliest staff. Order the Prusa and take your chances with a random concoction that the chief comes up it. Never had a bad meal at spoons.
If I could give Spoon's a 10 I would! I love love love Spoons and eat there every chance I get! From the simple breakfast to the breakfast hash all the way to the completely random adventure of the Prusa. I've never ever left Spoons disappointed, even if my food comes out subpar or incorrect the staff there are always super great and nice. The manager and staff seem to really love what they do and it resonates through the place. I recommend this place to every single person I know!
Delightful decor and friendly staff. Our waitress forgot to put in our ticket so we waited a long time for our food. However, she comped our food (we only paid for my drink and a tip). She was very apologetic and handled the situation very well. It was also insanely busy and she was running around like a boss. The food itself was good but not great. Huge portions of decent food. Both of us had the odd situation of having one of tbe poached eggs perfect and the other overcooked. We heard at neighbouring tables that this was happening frequently. Overall it was a hearty meal but the food wasn't memorable.
Love this place, this is mine and our friends favourite breakfast place to go to in Victoria. Very reasonable prices and amazing food, they also offer weekly specials. You wouldn't think a restaurant in a Super 8 would be stellar, but it truly is. Well worth the line up for a curing a Sunday hangover. ;)
Awesome breakfast place. Walked by this breakfast place a couple of times and finally decided to try it. It's in a pretty sketchy looking hotel, and they call themselves 'quirky and unpretentious'.
I wasn't so sure about a place that calls themselves unpretentious, but...I loved it!! I came at a good time (8 amish), when I left it was just getting busy. Friendly and efficient servers and great food. They definitely do breakfast well, but it's not the best. This is a place I come to when I'm hungover as it's a good greasy spoon place (so it's well named!).
Staff, food, atmosphere impeccable. I am ashamed to say I had reservations about the place upon first arriving. Those were quickly erased upon being seated (very quickly even for a large group) by the friendliest woman. The menu was overwhelming but in a really good way. I wanted to try everything! I have been back since and have had a chance to try out new dishes and find my regular go-to's. The food always hits the mark and have never once had a complaint from anyone I come with. The staff are genuinely interested in how the day is going, pick up on little, yet important things and react to medical emergencies in a calm, skilled way (I experienced this first hand - was so fortunate for the amazing staff). Cannot say enough of this place. Glad my now husband introduced it to me :) Great food for a great price!
Fantastic breakfast joint! The food is always good, the coffee is as well, but the real reason I come here every weekend is the staff. Genuinely great staff, funny, good at what they do and just phenomenal people. The owner has done an excellent job defining Spoons' culture and creating a team to build around that culture. A real diner atmosphere, I always describe it as an extension of my kitchen/dining room, same comfortable feel.
See you soon guys! (Heading to Spoons in an hour)
Why go anywhere else. Another perfect breakfast experince, Tanya and raven are always friendly personable and very adept at waitressing. The food is both flavorful and well presented. Portions never leave me wanting for more. My biggest problem is deciding what to try next as everthing I've had has been so enjoyable. Quality and consistancy has been excellent. The only place I go for breakfast.
Brunch on New Year's Day was fantastic. 3 of us got there at 11:55, and had to wait about 30min in line, but the hostess kept checking on everyone, and the long line kept moving. It was worth the wait. My chicken/waffle/poutine/Benny was amazing. Everything tasted great. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Coffee refills were always hot. Will definitely go back.
I found this hidden gem which is just a hop, skip and a jump away from my place. Not sure why I haven’t noticed it or heard about it until now.
Ordered their standard breakfast and upgraded to the waffles.
Everything was of decent quality, especially the waffles. Better than other breakfast establishments in Victoria and they didn’t overcook my eggs like Jam and The Ruby.
Outstanding price value as well. The prices were lower than places downtown, perhaps they have lower overhead.
Will visit again, definitely worth a try and worthy of their well received reviews already online.
Absolutely marvellous! we hit the new year’s day rush but definitely worth the wait! loved the cute and janky(in a good way) vibe and vintage atmosphere! everything on the menu looked great and the few we tried were so tasty! Great prices along with huge portions. As my sister said, best breakfast potatoes on the side, with trivia to go with. Would for sure return, maybe even try our luck with the prusa!
The service was excellent. The food was good. Love the restaurant. Portions are decent. Coffee is fresh and hot.
The only drawback is that there seems to be a rougher crowd that congregates outside as there is homeless housing on the second level of the building. It was a bit daunting walking up to the restaurant with a group of nefarious individuals watching you. There are no issues once inside the restaurant.
What a great dinner. Great staff and great service. We tried each other foods and there was all great food. I highly recommend
The food was really tasty, hot, fresh, and good sized portions. Our server was very friendly, and took into consideration allergy restrictions. This diner has a vibrant atmosphere and free ample parking just beside the diner. I’ll be visiting again.
The service was fabulous. The food was outstanding. Between the three of us we had the Greasy spoon, the Halouminami eggs Benedict and the Huevos Rancheros. All was delicious
This is my favorite place to go for breakfast. I went on a Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. No line-up today. It's always packed on the weekends because it is so good. Decent prices, excellent quality and funky atmosphere.
The portions are more than average in my opinion. We both brought home half of our meal.
We only ordered from the kids' menu - small servings very reasonably priced. The pancakes and waffles were delicious, and the grilled cheese sandwich was good too. They let us substitute a salad for the fries. Servers are attentive and friendly. Classic diner feel, decorated with classic comic book covers and old movie posters.
The host did their best to get us a table quickly on a busy day. Food was awesome, Both types of hash were very good. I feel like the decor needs a little update and unfortunately they were cleaning cutlery right next to my head. Would go again, great time!
