Spoonbread Too

Spoonbread has all the ambiance and style that any moderately
priced restaurant could offer. Gently nestled in the heart of
Harlem, Spoonbread is a restaurant that truly stands out. The
sun shines through huge front windows, creating a bright, airy
atmosphere. The checkered curtains and friendly staff make you
feel as though you're dining in your grandmother's kitchen.
The menu is ample, featuring a wide swath of Southern
favorites from which to tempt your palate. I chose to sample the
fried chicken, a soul food staple, and it was delicious! The
chicken was crispy and fried to a perfect golden brown, and my
sides of macaroni and cheese and collard greens were fresh and
tasty. My two colleagues tried the barbecued chicken, which
received an enthusiastic four thumbs up! By the end of the meal,
they were trying to figure out the "secret ingredient" in the
sauce and vowing to come back for more.
Spoonbread also offers a "Brown Bag" lunch special that
harkens back to the days when slaves took their lunch to the
fields in a brown bag. An excellent value at around $7.00, you
can choose from a variety of sandwiches, including chicken
salad, meat loaf, and a BLT.
Don't forget to save room for dessert! Freshly baked sweet
potato pie or homemade chocolate cake make a wonderful
mid-afternoon snack or after dinner delight.
There are some restaurants that truly separate themselves
from the pack by their food, style and staff, Spoonbread is
certainly one such rare gem.
