Small Bacon Cheese Fries Original Classic Philly
Selin C.

food was SO SO GOOD. HUGE shoutout to Kori, her help was incredible. she was so kind throughout the entire process and helped us figure out our order. Thank you to Ari as well! Cannot recommend this place enough if you're craving an INCREDIBLE philly cheesesteak

Hayli Z.

Love that they have veggie options. I got the build your own, so you can choose chicken, veggie meat and steak, then you can pick your cheese and up to 3 toppings. It was pretty good, I got the veggie with mushrooms, peppers and onion and Swiss. The cheese pull on that Swiss was INSANE! I was able to reach my hand fully above me and the cheese at still stretching. Quick service, plenty of parking. I wouldn't go all the time because I dont usually like fake meats but I love that they have this option in Gainesville.

Ribeye Cheesesteak with whiz, onions, peppers and a side of fries with special sauce and ketchup
Miller Q.

Might just be the best cheesesteak I've had in Florida. Meat was tender and paired perfectly with the whiz, peppers, and onions. Bun was soft and didn't get soggy. Fries were crispy and a went well with their special sauce. Service was great, everyone was super friendly and answered any questions. Casual vibe since the food truck was parked at a brewery. Would definitely recommend trying this place out if you see it!

Regular cheesesteak with white American cheese and onions

Great cheesesteaks! Took my wife here for a quick lunch prior to the Gators game. I loved my sandwich but she was blown away. Immediately exclaimed it was the best cheesesteak she's had in Gainesville. Atmosphere is cool too! I loved the menu selection! But what really sold it for us was the customer service! Everyone was so friendly and helpful! The manager checked on every table. And at least four staff members came out from the kitchen to check on us. This place is really good! Support local! But also support good places!

Classic cheesesteak was delicious. French fries were nice and crispy with a little seasoning salt. Couldn't ask for anything more. Cori was friendly from the second I stepped foot in the place. I asked her what she would recommend. She jumped right on the classic cheesesteak and I went with it.

Veggie dog with sautéed onions & side of onion rings
Alyssa M.

The food here is really good and while it's not the nicest atmosphere, it definitely has a fun vibe and is themed well. The onion rings were really nice and crispy and went well with the sauce. The service was great and pretty fast. It's a nice casual place and I'd love to come back to try some of their other food options.

Big Philly Cheesesteak with mushrooms onions and peppers

All I can say is wow. I'm born and raised in Philly and this place has a better cheesesteak than 90% of places there. I've tried them all. Carmela's, John's roast pork, oregons, Angelo's, Jim's steaks and soda, Delasandro's, I mean u name it this cheesesteak is better. The bread is soft, the cheese is melted through, the steak tastes amazing. Got the classic white American with mushrooms onions and green peppers and everything tastes fresh. You won't be disappointed.

Carnival style fried Oreos.
William H.

Driving home to Houston from Orlando and discovered this gem of a place. The service was more befitting of a 4-5 star restaurant. The ladies were great to all visitors! The food was well worth the drive near campus. Don't even get me started with the fried Oreos. All 3 of us were beyond pleased!

My friend and I met after we parked our bikes. She was sitting outside, and as I was locking my bike, less than a block away, she texted me. I just walked to her without responding, and with a smile and a hug, we walked in to look at the menu. The sandwiches have some very creative names that go along with their creative construction. I got a #10, which was a fusion of French dip and Philly cheese!! I wanna buy the person a beer, whoever thought of that one! Even though it was busy, we didn't wait long to order. Every sandwich comes in a paper bag, so you can take it out or stay and munch. We got a combo with chips and a drink, because how else do you eat a big sandwich like this?! There are board games to play, decor that is not typical and a big display of Guy Fieri, from the Food Network, that lets you know this place is on America's culinary map. After the sandwiches were done, I brought them out to my friend Kimberly, who was saving our table. We both were hungry, so out of the wrap and in with the teeth. Mine was full of flavor and the fact that all the sandwiches are heat-pressed, made the texture very satisfying. The au jus was thick and delicious and made me think someone took great time and effort to make it. It is a casual restaurant, great for a date or a group of friends, or a solo quick lunch, that can also be a dinner as well. The food is somewhat pricey, but it delivers as a good meal with a creative touch. They could have emptied the garbage can more quickly, as it was more than overflowing, when I went to throw the garbage away. Memorable food, and makes me want to come back to try at least two other sandwiches that I read about.

Their menu offers a great variety of fresh, no-frills sandwiches that hit the spot every time. The quality of the ingredients shines through, and you can taste the care they put into each order. Their breakfast sandwiches, in particular, are a standout--perfectly cooked and satisfying without being overly heavy. I always get a egg and bacon when I go and onion rings . This time I ventured out and tried a bacon cheeseburger and it was incredible. My next item will have to be a patty melt and a milkshake or soda float. The service is friendly and fast, making it an ideal choice for a quick bite during a busy day. The retro atmosphere adds a nostalgic charm that makes you feel right at home. It's a refreshing change from chain restaurants, offering a unique local experience that keeps people coming back. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the parking can be a little tricky during peak hours, and I wish there were seating options in case you want to stay and chill for a bit and not eat in your car but I get it's not ideal do to their location. Depending on the day and whose cooking the quality might be different which is what I experience sometimes. Good to note that if you come on a weekend the line might be longer than usual and it might take longer than on a weekday morning. That said, it's a fantastic spot with delicious food and great vibes.

Visit after visit, year after year, this place is still the best Greek spot in town. Also up there…read morefor best lunch spot, period. I got my usual gyro platter; about $15. Sounds pricey but my wife and I spit it and still had some leftovers. Also, this might seem a bit off topic but this place has some of the best fries. Great seasoning. My platter came with a generous portion of gyro meat, and the side salad was nicely prepared. If you haven't tried this place and you like a good gyro, drop by, you won't be disappointed.

I hate to leave bad reviews, but I think want to be honest. I came to The Spot recently for lunch…read moreand was not happy with my experience. Located in midtown, this appears to a fast casual place that caters towards college students. They serve "Greek" street food, salads, quesadillas, burgers, and more. The food is relatively inexpensive. Service is fine, actually the people working there are friendly. Food is made to order and comes out quickly. There is some seating available inside (it's limited) but there are plenty of tables in the hall. I ordered the Street Chicken Souvlaki which included grilled chicken with tomato, onion, fries inside a pita, topped with ketchup and mustard. This was a very large portion. The pita was good, but pretty much fell apart the second I picked it up. While I liked the chicken, it was over seasoned and I didn't care for the "sauced" quality of it. I'm not sure if they marinated it or tossed it in some sauce, but it was too much. The fries were decent, but not super crispy. I felt that they were not necessarily and a little over-the-top. The tomato was fresh and but the red onion slices were very thick. The mustard and ketchup didn't work with the seasonings on the chicken. The dish was just all over the place and I couldn't even finish half of it before I started feeling sick. I ordered a side of onion rings as well. This was a large order and the size was great. But these onion rings were over-battered and were fresh, but not crispy at all. I bit into one and ended up pulling out the whole onion rings. Not good. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience. The food was so heavy and overly salted I couldn't even eat half of it. I ended up giving it to a homeless person on the way out. The food left my stomach in shambles the rest of the day. Service is fine. But the food is not desirable. It is safe to say I will not be returning, which is unfortunate.

So yeah, expectations were not exactly low. I pulled up and kept it simple. Cheeseburger, fries, large iced tea. No need to get cute when you're dealing with a place that's been doing one thing longer than most people have had careers. Let's start with the burger, because wow. This thing absolutely delivers. Cooked to order, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and hits that sweet spot where you take a bite and immediately understand why people won't shut up about it. Five out of five, no notes, no complaints. This is the kind of burger that makes you question every overpriced, overbuilt "gourmet" burger you've ever had. This is how it's supposed to be done. And then... the fries showed up. Hot? Yes. Fresh? Seemed like it. But somehow they pulled off the impressive trick of being both hot and soggy at the same time. It's like they skipped the part where fries are supposed to have texture. Total letdown, especially sitting next to a burger that's basically winning awards in my head. The iced tea did its job. No drama there. So here's where I land. The burger alone is worth the trip. It lives up to the legend, no exaggeration. But those fries dragged the whole experience down just enough to knock it to four stars. Mac's is this close to perfection. Fix the fries, and we're not even having a conversation. Right now, it's a legendary burger with a side of "what happened here?"
