Spakes used to have amazing food. Now, however, it was horrible. We ordered for 5 people, 3 hamburger steak plates, 1 stew beef plate, and a double cheeseburger. Every single item of meat was dried out like it was mummified, all 3 hamburger steaks were so burnt on the bottom that you couldn’t cut them with a fork, they were literally inedible, even after a vain attempt to at least cover them in ketchup, since there sure wasn’t any gravy on them. The macaroni was mush, pintos tasted like they came out of a can, the only thing I can say was good was the fried okra. The menu prices had also changed and they failed to update the online menu, prices were a good $3-$4 higher than the online menu, and the online price was not honored. I understand inflation and that the cost of everything has changed, but the food should reflect that. Had it been good, I would not have cared to pay those prices. The girl who took our order was not rude, but sure not friendly, and the wait for a take-out order was almost 40 minutes, and it wasn’t because there were a lot of customers. After being lifelong customers, we will never eat here again.

It’s usually good. I was surprised at the food that was served to me. I got take out so didn’t know til I got home. The green beans tasted like they were poured straight out of a can, not cooked and super cold. Chicken strips looked like gizzards! Instant potatoes! At least the tea was good!

Went in at 20 till 8… was told we’re closed. If you are open till 8 you should take orders till 8. Stopped by and got cash back to pay since they only accept cash.. I try to support local businesses but this makes it hard to want to return. Great news after a 12 hr work day. Been eating here for years with my family.

First time eating here. Small establishment, but good food and great service. Haven’t had a good burger like that In a long time. The fries were a little overcooked. The Sundae that I ordered was not the best. The waitress was very friendly and attentive.
