One diner eloquently captured the essence of Southern Spoon, stating that there's a lot of love in the cooking.

Whether you're savoring the buttery fried salmon topped with shrimp or indulging in the delightful chicken lasagna, every bite is a testament to the restaurant's dedication to quality.

Staff was very helpful and friendly for my first time coming! They give you one free wing to try, and I instantly had to by a box after. the wings are amazing and so is the catfish, just delicious. I also got yams and they were just too good.
I had the most amazing pork chops meal in this restaurant. I don't know if I can order pork chops elsewhere because it won't come close. couldn'tI walked in the restaurant thinking it's another bogué restaurant pretending to be southern. I was wrong
I got the catfish which they drop fresh for you. It came crispy with the perfect seasoning and a nice sized fillet I got two don't judge me. Mac n cheese was creamy but not runny with the classic browned top and nice cheese pull. Add to that the greens are good. Best southern cuisine in Omaha customer service top notch to go with it.
Great food, friendly service, clean. Garlic parm wings were some of the best I've ever has
Great Food!! Prices are reasonable. Clean! Great Food! Customer Service is Great! Parking is a challenge Atmosphere is pleasant
Highly recommend this place. I went in with a group and we ordered a variety of food to share and I think that is the move. You can tell there is a lot of love in the cooking and everything was seasoned perfectly and exploding with flavor. The yams were tender and sweet and complimented the oxtail. And the oxtail was incredible. Unctious, buttery with a deep beef flavor and a texture that melts in your mouth. Unreal. I also got to try the fried catfish which was light and flaky and fried to perfection. The salmon stole the show. Perfectly cooked and not at all dry, it is topped with shrimp and a creamy, cheesy herbed, bechamel sauce. Could not stop eating eat. I sampled my friend's chicken lasagna and it was better than my mom's. Loved that we got to try some complimentary fried chicken because it's worth the trip by itself. You can tell they season the chicken and the breading. Crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. Super nice folks running the place as well. Please go show them some love!
Tried this spot for the first time tonight! It was so goood. highly recommend the catfish!! If y'all get a chance check this place out!!!!
First of all I want to say this place is not located on south 16th street at all. It's actually on the corner of 40th and Ames. Secondly this place is cafeteria style and what you'll pay depends on the weight not the items. They have daily specials as well. I ordered the catfish fillet which they fry fresh ( definitely a plus for me, who doesn't love fresh food.) as well as the red beans and rice and some good ol collard greens. They had other options like cheesy broccoli, cabbage, mashed potatoes and chicken wings (which I did get one and were so good.) everything I ordered was really good. Please be aware that your food will be weighed by the lb so keep an open mind about what your total will be but definitely so worth it. 8/10 I recommend.
