Lively Castro brunch hotspot with creative comfort dishes, friendly staff, and regular waits; pricing is moderate-high with a surcharge and some service inconsistency.
Wooden Spoon delivers exceptional food quality with elevated comfort classics—fried chicken sandwich, salmon scramble, and short rib hash executed with care and polish. Strong service attentiveness and appealing neighborhood location on Market Street reinforce its reputation as a destination brunch spot, though tight counter seating and occasional consistency dips during peak hours prevent grade A territory. Competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants and worth the wait for quality-focused brunch.
One caveat: Peak-time waits can be very long; arrive early or be ready to linger
