About
Back in 1983, a young dreamer from Hamilton, Ohio - Harold E. Sparks - traded in his steady job at General Motors for something far juicier: his own soul food restaurant in sunny Inglewood, California. His vision? To serve up love at first bite and create a space where everyone feels like family. And just like that, The Serving Spoon was born - a place where comfort food meets community spirit.

Milira Young★★★★★Whenever I’m in LA I have to eat at The serving Spoon! Being a Chef myself I’m very very picky and I don’t eat anyone else’s cooking if I don’t have to but Here I’m never disappointed! Customer service is always good! It’s always packed and a wait but it’s never a long crazy wait! Food always good and em Turkey Chops be hitting! I love that it’s Family owned and I love to see all the young people working and earning their way ☺️ I’m in the mist of relocating to the area so I’ll be back even more now and I’m definitely looking forward to it! Keep up the great work
Michael Essien★★★★★When my party of 4 arrived, there were a significant number of people waiting to eat and it moved rather rapidly. I ordered the catfish with collard greens, black eyed peas, and cornbread. The fish and sides were delicious. The cornbread decent. It was my second time eating there and it was just as satisfying as my first trip. I wholeheartedly recommend people give it try.
Carolyn Gabrielle Chacon★★★★★The service was great, the food was great! The wait was long because there were a lot of people ahead of us but they’re very quick to get you in once a table is ready. Worth the wait!! The only thing you need to worry about is parking but there’s neighborhood streets with parking.
TYree S★★★★★The day began with a journey from Downtown Los Angeles to Inglewood for breakfast at the legendary Serving Spoon.

When I finally arrived, the place was packed and buzzing with energy—loud, lively, and about 98% Black, which immediately felt like home. Navigating through the crowd took a bit of maneuvering, but the restaurant itself was wheelchair accessible and the staff were patient a
