Ice Tea (unsweetened) and a Pastrami and Sauerkraut Quesadilla (where cultures collide) sure hit the spot! All around me, locals chatted about their sports team, the weather, and other news of the day. A police officer sat at the counter, where two local highway crew joined him for a "slice." Always a good sign when you happen across a community meeting place - with great food!!!

They have a great drink selection, which is a nice bonus whether you're grabbing a beer or something a little more fun. Food-wise, we're big fans of the garlic bread--simple, flavorful, and always a must-order. The chicken Alfredo is another favorite: creamy, satisfying, and perfect when you're craving comfort food. Their sandwiches are solid too, with good portions and plenty of options. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the owner--always very nice, welcoming, and clearly cares about the customers and the community. Overall, The Spot is reliable, family-friendly, and a neighborhood favorite we're always happy to return to.

Got a chicken and cheese quesadilla. The price went from 11$ to 17$ after adding chicken. There was…read moremaybe half of a chicken tender throughout the entire quesadilla. I cannot believe it was 17$. Absolutely ridiculous. We also asked for guacamole and sour cream. Got salsa that we won't touch instead. We also got pickle chips. No dressing as a side. They are extremely salty if anyone is interested in getting them. Over 30$ for the 2 items. Overall, Pretty sad lunch experience

So on a warm October weekday, we drove in to find it open & crowded. It was the day before they closed for the season (October 31st) . They will probably reopen sometime mid- April. Its a stand versus a restaurant. Where you order at the window and either eat it at a picnic table there, sit in your car, or take it to go. My husband & I each got a breakfast sandwich & 2 coffees. $16. Very, very reasonable. It was such a nice day, so we ate at a table under a big tent. The sandwiches were on a good sized hard roll & pretty tasty. Coffees were good too. I'm glad we got to try this place before the season ended and maybe on a nice day next summer, we will be back.

This was just a great experience. The chef owner is very personable and professional. Definitely worth the visit!!!

Stopped in on a early Saturday evening. Order "House Salsa" appetizer ($5) Salsa came 'house-made'…read moretortilla chips, served on a sheet pan. Chip portion appeared small, larger portion or smaller pan would help. Chips were cold, thinner than most chips I've had. The salsa was nothing special, a little too spicy for the wife. When we ordered our tacos, I was disappointed to learn they were out of steak. They only had chicken, pork and shrimp selections. I ordered "Street Taco", my wife "Southern Shrimp". Since they were out of grilled steak, I asked for recommendation, for Street taco filling which was pork. Tacos are served on soft flour tortillas unless hard is requested. For $1.50 more, I ordered it "Gringo Style"- which includes shredded cheese, sour cream and shredded lettuce. Taco was nothing extraordinary- pork was a little dry, a little too spicy for my taste. More "Gringo" ingredients would have been better. Taco wasn't what I expected, but then again, my experience has mostly been with Taco Bell... A nice perk is that NCT is a BYOB eatery. The eating area is a big open, high-ceiling space, the seating area a combination of tables, benches and high-top bar. A "Day of the Dead" wall-size mural adorns the children's rec area that has a video game machine and rack full of board games. Service was on point, place squeaky clean. The atmosphere highly conducive to a relaxed family outing while enjoying your choice of imbibement. I didn't get a chance to try it, but my wife said her shrimp taco was good. She is a light-weight when it comes to spicy, so I believe her, makes me wish I ordered shrimp, it was not a meat option for the Street Taco I ordered, maybe it should be. My review is 2-stars short mostly for being out-of-steak on a early Saturday evening, and lack-luster appetizer and taco. I still think with some tweaking, this place has potential to become a 5-star spot.

Which brings me to my newly crowned favorite sandwich - Tongue On Rye; ask for the tip slices very lean. I even got a dependable guarantee from our server she'd provide an unforgettable tongue sandwich. In a comedic mood, I asked our server to not give me any lip! She doubled over giggling and said thank you for your honesty and THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I've been asked just Tongue with "No Lip." Despite the comedy and light hearted conversation the table for two was perfect Harry & Sally style! Watching the action, enjoying the lean tongue on rye with mustard an unforgettable delight.

Quality is still good, price and portion are askew…read more We came here as a quick sandwich bite on our way around the state. Service was good, and the ambiance is still lively. The still tastes good, with some exceptions. The frier oil seemed burnt, so the pickle chips we had just had that little bit of carbon taste on them. The pickle chips batter was very thick, and the mayo was the only respite. The sandwich, still tasty, seemed much smaller than normal, the meat still had good flavor, but the portion was lighter in comparison. The prices are also a bit high. The sandwich coming out to about 15 bucks. The bargain is very much gone now, and the portion is okay for a sandwich but pricy because of this shrinkage. Not shown are the overcooked onion rings. We returned those and the server promptly removed them from the bill. So really good customer service. I opted for a brownie for dessert, and the brownie was a disappointment. Too sugary, no flavor, gummy, and disappointingly small and thin. A detractor for sure. As a deli, it feels like it's on the decline. I know things are pricier now, but what you pay vs what you get doesn't match up. I'm hoping they pivot from this path, but right now it's no longer my go-to. It's still tasty, just pricy
