Wooden Spoon Restaurant

This place should not be a 5 star rating. The food service is very slow if you order the mexican plates from the menu. Pretty much. The fastest things that come out are the specials because those are already cooked. The burgers are decent but completely loaded with butter on the buns. The onion rings are over cooked. The breading for it is just not good. The fries are not crispy. The fried okra is average. The salad dressing is given to you in a ketchup/mustard clear squirt bottle. This is pretty much one of the only restaurants in town so you have to eat here if you don't want to drive to Ashdown or New Boston or Texarkana. The place is a converted home to a restaurant so the bathrooms are tiny and poorly placed.

Well, five stars for basically the only resturant in town seems silly doesn't it? But, this place is a real gem in such a small area and always busy. The wait staff were terrific and everything we ordered was dang yummilicious! Home cooked food out of a home style kitchen was really welcome.

This place is a converted home with shanty tables and chairs and a rugged crowd... but don't let it fool ya, it has some fierce chow! We were actually excited to have lunch there the second day (as outta towners) and found the portions plus flavor to be fantastic!
