From the Kitchen
A Farmhouse Near the Lake
Stone fireplace, warm wood, and a cozy farmhouse feel right off M-179. We're just minutes from Gun Lake, around the corner from Gun Lake State Park, and right outside the Yankee Springs Recreational Area, a favorite for hiking and biking. Whether you're fueling up before a morning on the trails or winding down after a day at camp, Southern Spoon is worth the stop. Reservations are available for guests who want their table ready when they arrive.

What our guests are saying
Excellent food, service and staff! We were just passing through and stopped in for a late breakfast. Really really delicious! Eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy. Not your "run of the mill" low quality ingredients at too many places now a day. We loved it! Really clean too.

Today was my first time trying Southern Spoon and it was such a great experience. All of the staff were so kind and welcoming. Our server was Leslie, and she was great and very helpful! Will definitely be back very soon.

Our breakfast today was so good! I had the "Between the buns" competition breakfast sandwich. The cheddar biscuit it was on and the bacon jam really took it over the top! My husband said his country fried steak was delicious but the breakfast potatoes were some of the best he's had!
