Harold Sparks opened The Serving Spoon in 1983 and the diner is now run by his grandchildren, Justin Johnson and Jessica Bane. It is the neighborhood's default Saturday-morning table and a regular stop for athletes and musicians passing through town.
The move is catfish and grits, a salmon croquette plate, or a big omelet with a side of pancakes. Breakfast and lunch only, so go early and expect a wait on weekends; the staff keeps things moving and greets regulars by name.
