Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Area LeadersNovember 20, 2012Hip yet mature, healthy while decadent. Not the average downtown restaurant! Great curry or burger or pastas- they've got a unique version of most everything. We adore their brunch. SO GOOD.
City PagesAugust 5, 2014People who take their diet seriously have a friend in Spoonriver owner Brenda Langton: Vegetables, and specifically locally grown, organic vegetables, are the root of most of her dishes. Read more
Lynn StudenyMay 1, 2015Ordered the hummus appetizer plate prior to attending a show at the Guthrie. It was excellent. They do have a small outdoor patio. Great service as well- City PagesAugust 3, 2015With an almost entirely gluten-free menu and a half vegetarian menu, Spoonriver really delivers great flavor and packs a lot of punch. Try it out!

David B.June 5, 2013This is by no stretch of the imagination a vegan place. There are vegan/vegetarian options but there is also plenty of tasty hoof, fin and feather on the menu.- City PagesJanuary 4, 2013One of best places for post-holiday eating! Langton's food is impeccable and doesn't need to rely on lard, bacon, heavy cream, or additional sweeteners to make it soar.
Rebecca MazzaJanuary 19, 2018Come for lunch around 12:45 when the Guthrie crowd clears out! Their specials are always on point.
Arun D'SouzaNovember 20, 2015Love the food here! Excellent for vegetarians and so close to the Mill City Museum.
Stephanie EskerJuly 29, 2014Listen to the waiters - they really know the menu and have great suggestions! Perfect portions sizes too.
Matt SchiefferJune 16, 2013It's ok. The place is suuuper tiny and narrow like an old diner. The lunch menu is SEVERELY limited. We were unable to try nothing that was recommended here. Also they are very stingy with the hummus.
Artspace ProjectsApril 29, 2011Artspace Projects, Inc. is in the middle of putting together the funding for a $15 million development to go on a parcel near the Guthrie Theater - across from Spoonriver. Details: Read more
Try the stone arch sling: old overholt rye, benedictine and heering cherry w lemon.
Cahill's Critter CareApril 5, 2012Great for vegetarian and vegan folks, BUT also meat selections that jive with Eco and local conscious people.
Come here for a wonderful, fresh meal or just dessert. Pumpkin brûlée or bête noir (double choc mousse cake).
Lauren GillmanJune 24, 2016Excellent vegetarian dishes but service is a bit lacking. They should pay more attention to their diners.
Always get the seafood special. It's what will be served in heaven.
J. W. BellAugust 8, 2011more than just a, "V" restaurant. Had a good poached salmon, confit duck, and cold pea soup. Read more
Make sure to try the nutty, delicious duck & chicken liver pate.
Fantastic takeout salads and sandwiches if you're in a hurry!
Flora DelaneyAugust 19, 2009Get the Tuna Sandwich and the Moroccan Mojito - but the Bloody Mary is not better than Red Stag's.
Christian FuchsSeptember 23, 2013Beware the specials... My dinner was ok, but definitely not worth the $29 I paid for it.... Price was listed as open
..the japanese okasuki is marvelous!..it's a noodle soup
Fred MaiMarch 21, 2013Our group ordered burgers and they were undercooked and tasteless. I would not recommend any of the hamburgers.
