“ 1st time going to Spankies and I’m hooked! The chip & guacamole are amazing You get more chips than you could imagine! The Tuna Tartar was A first for me I’ve never had that and my friend who took me to lunch there, ordered it, and I tried a bite, and it was actually surprisingly very good. I’ve never had tartar and was skeptical, but the presentation, the flavor, and everything about it was amazing. The Thai lettuce wraps, if I’m being honest were a little underwhelming that was the only thing that I didn’t love at Spankies I ordered the chicken tostada salad and it did not disappoint I will definitely be ordering that again. Next time I go. The atmosphere was great for a casual lunch with friends or even a date spot. We ate inside. They also have outdoor seating the staff amazing. ”

“ Our first time eating here and it was the best! I had the Jack Daniels Chicken w/ Basmati Rice and Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes! My cousin's dish was Fish (Grouper) and Chips, instead of chips she got Yukon Potato Salad, Southern Slaw and Fried Okra. We were given a couple slices of complementary Spankies Bread after we sat down and it was delicious! We were able to eat about half of our meals before we were full! This is a local place that has been in business for over 30 years. Jordan our waitress was an absolute delight! ”
