My favorite restaurant hands down! Chicken fried steak meal is to die for! Plus the service is fast. I'm getting hungry writing this lol
Good food and nice clean restaurant!!!
Open past 8pm so we could eat after working and chores.
We stopped here yesterday for lunch. It was fantastic. The first look you wonder but PLEASE don't let that stop you. It was clean and bright. The server was the only one on the floor. One was cooking. It's just a sign of the times...sad... While we were there part of a baseball team came with parents. This server was awesome. Now, let's go to the awesome Chicken Fried Steak..AMAZING. It wasn't frozen...the mashed potatoes were real. The gravy was homemade and the seasoning in all was great. I have read some of the previous posts about this place. I don't understand how you couldn't like this place.. Please be kind to service people now as at least they are working...several aren't. We were going to go to Lawrence and so glad we didn't. Support your Mom and Pop places instead of big corps. These people are the ones that work for you. Will for sure stop again the next time we are through...

We are here last night, December 17th 2021, for my my husband's 28th birthday.
We have lived in Baldwin for 2 years and those years have been pretty rough, we were so lucky to find an apartment in sweet and quiet Baldwin City. We love it here and plan on buying a home. We've experienced quite a few events here but this was our first local restaurant. We were finally able to come to The Wooden Spoke after hearing so much about it and we brought friends from out of town.
What a charming, down-home, relaxed place. The parking lot felt like you were pulling into a old-time drive in, but you get out of your car and reach the door and it feels like you are standing outside of someone's well-loved home. The tables reminded me of my own kitchen tables in my childhood home. I felt comfortable as soon as I sat down. The waitress was extremely attentive, her energy was calm and sincere. Our drink orders were taken immediately, our appetizers came out quickly and the entrees were the best home cooking we all have had in many years.
We ordered the KC strip, the ribeye, the bourban steak and the spoke burger, spoke fries, mash potatoes, the chilli, mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and the wings in this beautiful honey brown sauce that was sweet, spicy, smoky and honestly it was incredible. I love WINGS and these took the trophy from me and my friends!
Our food and plates were hot, the food was fast. All the steaks were cooked as asked, all steaks were medium rare, juicy, delicious and quite big. Burger was done just well and had a classic burger taste.
The alcoholic beverages were delicious and made strong.
My daughter ordered the kids chicken strips and she said they were very good, we loved the fries. The spoke burger was amazing and the mustard tasted homemade. My husband especially loved the chilli. Overall, the food was spectacular. The service was fast and friendly, the environment was clean and comfy. We will definitely be back.
Thank you wooden spoke staff and mad respect and kudos to the Chef who made an unforgettable night full of nostalgic decor, warm and friendly interaction and phenomenal home-cooking! See you again soon!!
I wish I could add more photos but it was such a good time, I didn't think about taking a bunch, I just soaked in the night! ⚪️
The picture is old. The Wooden Spoke has moved to a new building across the street, 2 blocks up going west . Owner and staff are very friendly and food is good!! Love having some place locally. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
Rachael was amazing!! The prime rib was amazing!! The other servers made contact with us as well and they were friendly and accommodating!! Definitely recommend and we will be back!!!!
Food was delicious and service was great. Even though they were out of a couple of things, I was easily able to pick something else. Menu has a great variety of things to choose from. Our mushrooms were very good as an appetizer. I had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious and tender.
First time in to eat here. Small quaint place. Great service. We had the chilli with side salad. Very good. Will go back to try more.
I have dined across The USA often in small family restaurants which range in quality of food, cleanliness, hospitality, and service. The Wooden Spoke provided all even though they were short handed and busy. Our meals were delicious, eye appealing, and hot.
Great place to go if you are hungry.
They have the best Prime Rib on Friday and Saturday, seasoned very well. Everything seems very well priced. We will definitely be back.
