Menus
The Wicked Spoon Buffet is known for its individually portioned foods instead of grabbing from a large platter.
Ok, you can still have the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and familiar favorites, but be prepared for them to be top quality and elevated several levels above what you’re used to.
The Wicked Spoon has an all-day brunch menu. Be prepared to grow hungry as we take a look.
Brunch Menu
Several food stations are set up, including a cold bar, breakfast-inspired station, brunch station, grill station, an international station, an Asian station, and desserts. Yes, desserts for breakfast. That’s about all it takes to get us on board.
The cold bar includes refreshing breakfast food options like seasonal fruit, Nutella toast, smoked salmon plates, cheese plate, oatmeal, and chia seed pudding.
There are also some less traditional breakfast items like beef carpaccio and tomato basil soup. This is the spot you want to hit up if you’re looking for a light breakfast that isn’t lacking in deliciousness.
The breakfast-inspired station features classics where eggs are at center stage. Fluffy scrambled eggs with Creme Fraiche, an omelet station, scrambled egg whites, and frittatas accompanied by applewood smoked bacon, and breakfast pizza.
From here, the options only get more decadent. The brunch/lunch station offers perfect eggs benedict, lemon blueberry French toast, shrimp & grits, and Gochujang braised egg.
The rest of what you’ll find strays far from typical brunch food. Once you try the kale salad with ginger dressing, it will become something you always crave.
There are pork Barria tacos, samosas with mango chutney, Asian dirty fried rice, bone marrow with lemon gremolata, roasted chicken with miso and ginger, and then a whole slew of treats to satisfy your sweet tooth.
On the cold bar, you’ll find a few delicacies added, like tuna crudo with a grapefruit reduction, beef tataki with citrus ginger ponzu, and dehydrated duck egg.
If you’re in the mood for a more decadent meal, you can choose between the bone marrow, snow crab legs, or the slow-roasted prime rib that can be found at the carving station. It really does feel more like a massive dinner buffet than it does lunch.
There are also lots of great sides like the angry mac & cheese, poblano creamed corn, and classic salads.
Their seafood buffet is especially good on weekend Brunch.
You’ll also want to save room for the dessert section, where you’ll find assorted pastries, house-made gelato and sorbet, creme brulee, strawberry lychee mousse cake, and bourbon white chocolate bread pudding…there’s more, but we’re gaining too much weight just writing this.
Bottomless Beverages
The food isn’t the only star of the show at the Wicked Spoon. Adults can add a bottomless beverage to their buffet. Choose from champagne, Bloody Marys, bottomless mimosas, and Bud Light Draft packages.
Imagine a leisurely Sunday brunch or lazy Saturday afternoon, some great company, and a plate filled with your favorites. The server ensures your glasses of mimosas, champagne, bloody marys, or draft are never empty. It sounds a little like perfection, doesn’t it?
The bottomless beverage addition is $25 per person, and there is one caveat. Bottomless drinks are limited to 90 minutes. You don’t want to get too tipsy while hitting up the omelet station or dessert bar.
If bottomless drinks brought to your table aren’t your thing, there’s also a full selection of cocktails, wines, beer, and specialty brunch sips. Juices, soda, and coffee or tea are complimentary with the buffet.
Hours
While you might want to love on the Wicked Spoon all day and night, they only serve brunch. The buffet is open daily from 8am to 2pm.

I have a party of 20+ and was told I could not make a reservation and just arrive early. Is this true?
No, if you have a party of 20 or more you’ll want to fill out a party request here: https://thecosmopolitan.tripleseat.com/party_request/4224
I wouldnt trust just arriving early and hoping they can seat 20 of you.
If reservation is made on 10am for the breakfast. What time do I needs to be there? Do I still need to go in 1-2 hours early to line up? Or I can walk straight to the door and be seated?

If I went around 10:30am for breakfast and wanted to stay for lunch, how does that work? Would I pay $45 or would I get kicked out after breakfast and have to pay for lunch?
The Wicked Spoon doesnt take reservations for 10:30am for this exact reason. The latest you can get is a 10am reservation to get both breakfast and lunch. And, no they will not kick you out when the buffet is switched over. You can stay for both.
how do we reserve a lunch buffet on January 1 2022
The Wicked Spoon doesnt take reservations unless you have a party of 20 or more. I called them today on 12/29/21, and they said the wait over the holidays is about 2 hours. Its normally (off holiday peak) 45 min to 1 hour wait. I’ve also updated this page with a price and hours chart for the buffet on New Years Eve and Day.
