Maria's Silver Spoon

As expected. We found this little diner on a Google search for "lunch." We prefer not to go to chain restaurants, and have a tendency to hit these small places at non-peak hours. We walked through the door at 1:40, and were greeted with a worn black & white floor, with black, red & white decor. It made me smile - we had found a real diner and not just a lunch joint! We were greeted by the server - very friendly, a person who has never met a stranger. She reminded me of Flo from Mel's Diner. The drinks were quick and cold (fresh iced tea!), and we both ordered the special of the day - mushroom swiss burger with fries & slaw. The burgers were huge! at least 1/3 lb, probably closer to 1/2 lb. Cooked and topped perfectly, on a fresh roll. The steak fries were hot and crispy with no seasoning (my preference - so I can add my own). The slaw was cold, but plain. It was good, there just wasn't anything special about it. Atmosphere: 4/5 (would like to go again when there are other customers) Cleanliness: 4/5 our area was clean, bathroom was clean, no lipstick on cups Service: 5/5 Super attentive staff, but not over-bearing Food: 5/5 for diner-style food (would like to go again when there are other customers) BONUS: they deliver nearby!

We like this gem of a diner and go at least once a week. Hubby loved the hash brown's and corned beef hash he ordered today and my Greek omelet was the best EVER. Portions are a bit large but the friendly servers are always ready to bring a takeaway box. Good atmosphere, nice staff, good cooking, quick service and good prices.

Maria's Silver Spoon is a wonderful gem hidden away in plain site. Great food Maria is a warm friendly person. The food is the best & extremely reasonably priced. It's like Cheers, everybody knows your name! Recently reopened under new ownership in November. Menu overhaul (keeping the old favorites) & a completely different change in decor. Only had pancakes so not much to say about the food. Try it & see for yourself & best of luck to the new owner, suggestion though, the new decor is nice but part of the atmosphere was in the warm kitchy colors & decor (bring some warmth & friendly touches back). 😉 See you next time we're in town.

I gave this two stars because the service was friendly, otherwise it would have received one. I give restaurants a star for good food, service, cleanliness/atmosphere, and value. The food, atmosphere and the prices deserve no stars at all. I went for breakfast and the potatoes were grease soaked and not in a good way. They had a bad flavor that I can't really describe. The same can be said about the sausage gravy. Blech!!! I would not recommend. There are far better choices for breakfast, Savory and The Village Inn, to name a couple.

This is a must have in Largo! The food was delicious and the serves was great. The owner was very kind to come over after we ate to how are meal was. I would definitely suggest the biscuits with sausage gravy and homefries!!! My husband had a burger and the stuffed pepper soup which he really enjoyed. We can't wait to come back next month!
