Spoon’s Grill

Spoon’s Grill, listed in some directories as Spoon’s Gril or Spoon’s Grill & Restaurant, operates at 3987 NW 19th Street inside the Lakes Merchandise Mart, a location and setting distinct from the North State Road 7 and West Oakland Park Boulevard corridors that carry most of the other businesses in this collection. NW 19th Street runs through the southern portion of Lauderdale Lakes, and the Lakes Merchandise Mart appears to function as a smaller, more locally scaled retail center than the strip plazas along the city’s two main commercial roads.

The restaurant’s hours, running from 7 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon daily, mark it clearly as a breakfast-and-lunch operation rather than a dinner destination, a schedule shared by relatively few other businesses in this collection and one that suggests Spoon’s Grill draws primarily on morning and midday foot traffic from the surrounding Lakes Merchandise Mart and nearby residential blocks. Its Yellow Pages listing puts the business at fifteen years in operation, placing its founding at approximately 2011, and notes that the location is wheelchair accessible and offers free parking, both practical details for a breakfast spot likely to draw an older or more mobility-limited local clientele alongside its general customer base.

Category tags for the restaurant span takeout and family-style restaurant classifications, consistent with a casual, plate-based breakfast and lunch menu rather than a formal sit-down dining room. The business maintains a website at spoonsgrill.com, referenced in its directory listing, though the site displays only a placeholder message indicating it is under construction, so current menu items, pricing and photos could not be confirmed through that source, and no customer reviews were found attached to the public directory listing checked for this profile.

Fifteen years of continuous operation on NW 19th Street, in a merchandise mart setting away from the more heavily trafficked and more thoroughly documented State Road 7 corridor, suggests Spoon’s Grill has built a stable local following without relying heavily on an online presence or directory reviews, a pattern common among older, established breakfast-and-lunch spots that depend on regular local customers rather than search-driven discovery. Anyone unfamiliar with the Lakes Merchandise Mart area should note that the restaurant’s hours end at 2pm, meaning it is not an option for dinner or evening dining.

NW 19th Street runs through a more residential section of Lauderdale Lakes than the retail-heavy State Road 7 and Oakland Park Boulevard corridors covered by most of the businesses in this collection, and a merchandise mart setting there suggests a smaller commercial node serving the immediate surrounding neighborhood rather than a plaza built to draw traffic from the wider city. That neighborhood-first character fits a restaurant whose hours are built entirely around breakfast and lunch rather than evening dining.
