About The Serving Spoon

Watch on TikTok

Harold E. Sparks left General Motors in 1983 to open The Serving Spoon, and Inglewood has been better for it ever since. The breakfast and brunch-focused soul food restaurant has been called one of the top three brunch spots in Los Angeles — high praise for a neighborhood joint that keeps hours ending at 2 PM. The turkey chops and mac-and-yams combination are what regulars drive from across the city for; the grilled cornbread might be the best single side in Inglewood. An LA institution that represents everything great about neighborhood restaurants.
