UPDATE: Silver Spoon on Flatbush - CLOSED!

What is this place like? My soon-to-be landlord owns it.

Any thoughts on the place and/or its owner?

I have breakfast there on the weekends pretty often -- it's a fairly standard diner, but seems friendly enough. I like that you can sit outside on the sidewalk.

Will Ricky Schroeder be there?

i personally will be looking for alfonso ribiero in his little michael jackson outfit.

once i had an omlet at the silver spoon. i forget what i had in it - maybe sausage and cheese. it cost over $8, so i vowed never to order an omlet there again.

I think he goes by "Rick" Schroeder now. :evil: :x

as apollonia666 can attest to, we'll be the ones eating there every weekend, soaking up the basic breakfast food whilst inhaling the beautiful scents of flatbush avenue. There seems to be a steady flow of people, so I'm guessing that the food istn't that bad;)

Silver Spoon has closed!

Looks like a "new" Silver Spoon will open in its place?

There was a sign on the Bergen St. side that said the owners were retiring so they could "spend more time with their families" and it would be open under new ownership at some point, but they didn't say when. I noticed yesterday that sign had fallen down, but that seems to be the deal. Personally I think the food there is inedible. I always want it to be great, especially when I am hung over and need some grease, but it has consistently disappointed me.

The guys that owned it are my landlords. We used to send our rent checks to the Silver Spoon. Now they go to their "office".

That's too bad. It was the first place I ever ate in Brooklyn-- 2 years before I moved here-- and always served as some kind of cosmic justification that I am in the right place.

I liked the breakfasts there. Had many a "last night was fun, but..." conversation in the table in the corner by the windows.

Also the only diner in the 'hood where I didn't have to explain what a black and white milkshake is.

The food there sucked.

I was never a big fan of the food there, but the grits were good. Pricey for a brooklyn diner...the prices were like those at 3 guys on Madison Ave on the UES. I hope that the "new" Silver Spoon isn't the same food.

ugh.
