When you walk in to the Golden Spoon, you're probably expecting a regular diner atmosphere with witty waitresses and quick service. You definitely get that at the Spoon, but you also get a lot more.

Many of the workers are from Hopkinton so when you sit down for a 20-minute meal, you get your daily dose of town news and conversation as well.

Bill Morgan owns the Golden Spoon, and said, when it comes to the food, they serve plenty of your regular favorites (pancakes, omelets and burgers). They also offer, however, a treat for health-conscious patrons.

"We have what we call a Marathon omelet," Morgan said. "It's egg whites with vegetables a side of fresh fruit instead of bacon or home fries, and whole wheat toast."

It's this modern health twist on an old meal that Morgan thinks helped the diner get voted best breakfast in Hopkinton.

"We're really thankful for all of our customers that voted and supported us," he said. "Fast, friendly service is the key and we provide that here."

Second place Dunkin' Donuts with Hopkinton Gourmet and Red Barn at Angel's tied for third.
