Who We Are ?
Jesse and Jessica Calvert, driven by their shared faith and love for good food, made a significant move from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to Maine. Their journey was not only motivated by their passion for serving others, but also by their desire to create a place where they could share their love for southern food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thus, they opened Southern Spoon restaurant, a delightful establishment that combines comforting southern cuisine with a sense of community.
At Southern Spoon, Jesse and Jessica infuse every dish with the flavors and traditions of the South, showcasing their culinary expertise and love for creating delicious food. From heavenly shrimp n’ grits to mouthwatering chicken and sausage jambalaya, each meal takes guests on a culinary journey down south.

Our Reviews
Newly opened restaurant by a nice southern family bringing up their fine southern cooking. You will swear you're in New Orleans. Small area for indoor seating and food is on... Read More paper china and plastic utensils. They seem to do a good takeout business.
I had the rice and beans, a southern favorite while my wife had shrimp tacos. Both were delicious. Finished it off with bread pudding with rum sauce.

I love southern spoon! I have tried three of their menu items now and all three of them are to die for. The food is prepared well and quickly making... Read More ideal for a lunch time stop during a work time break. I recommend the bang bang tacos made with their own special sauce and shrimp ordered from the south keeping the authenticity of the taste they bring alive.
If you like flavor and want something unique you don't normally get in a maine restaurant I highly recommend you give Southern spoon a try. You won't be disappointed. The sitting area is nice as well giving it a relaxing feel while you enjoy your food.

My wife saw a local news story introducing Southern Spoon to the Bangor/Brewer area, and shared it with me. We lived in Nashville for 13 years, and I miss some... Read More of the southern food. I went for lunch and really enjoyed their sausage & chicken Jumbalaya. A week later I again had lunch and ordered the Bang-Bang Shrimp Tacos. Also, very tasty! Portions are generous. The Jumbalaya came with a piece of toasted French bread. The tacos came as an order of 3 sans side. I've already recommended Southern Spoon to several of my work colleagues, and recommend it to those reading this review. Founders Jesse and Jessica, are delightfully friendly and welcoming, as is their staff. Southern Spoon is a very welcome addition to the area, one I'll be patronizing many more times.
