Nutella French toast
Melissa S.

Very good food at a small diner atmosphere. Kind staff was very attentive and friendly with all the guests.

Ybor Salad and Cuban: pick 2
Christie S.

Ordered lunch to go. Decided on the pick 2, Ybor salad and Cuban sandwich for $13.59. I get that its a half salad and half sandwich but for the price, i expected a little bit more. Taste/Flavor was just OK. Person at the counter was extremely friendly and polite. Area was quiet...diner style maybe 15 tables and a bar area. Only 2 other customers in the restaurant at the time. Probably would not go back for lunch because of the portions vs cost but may try once more for Breakfast.

Great food at a very reasonable price. Service is always friendly and prompt. The specials that are offered add a nice variety to their menu. It's a bit small for dining and keep in mind they are very popular so there sometimes is a short wait for a table. They serve Screaming Peacock coffee which is fantastic.

We were in town and I found The Spot on Yelp so we decided to check it out. It's a cute little mom and pop place with small town vibes that I loved. When we arrived there was a short wait and we opted for first available. We waited about ten minutes and were seated outside. The outdoor seating is right next to the highway so it was a little loud at times but overall totally fine. Our server seemed a little bit weeded, we had to ask for things more than once and I eventually stole what I needed from another table that left bc she forgot to bring it. Don't get me wrong, she was still good, she just seemed a little stressed or distracted. I got the coconut french toast which was INCREDIBLE! I didn't need syrup, I just ate it how it came. There was a slight savory aspect that paired so well with the sweetness of the coconut. It was SO good! My fiance got the BYO Omelette and I think he had a little bit of food envy, he said he thought about getting the french toast. Of course I gave him some. Overall the food was great and the service was decent but could have been a little better. Not bad enough to keep us from returning next time we're in town. I want more french toast!

1/2 chicken panini with Ybor City salad 1/2 Cuban sandwich with soup

First time at The Spot. Service was exactly as you would like it to being in this diner type restaurant. It is not fancy but the food is really good. I thought the chicken panini was really flavorful and my salad was excellent. I didn't care for the big blobs of ham and cheese and ended up chopping them up. My husband thought his Cuban sandwich was good. We want to go back to try some other items but it was a good solid 4 meal.

If the small parking lot is full.., keep going. I have not eaten yet but it's a forever wait.

I ordered the short braised ribs with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My entrée was just okay. The ribs were on the dry side. However, everyone else in my family really enjoyed their meals. My husband loved his pork chop, and the rest of my family raved about their crab bisque and entrées. Service did slow down once our food arrived. My husband wanted to order additional beverages, but it took quite a while for our server to return. The ambiance, though, was lovely. The patio, strung with lights, added a festive, holiday charm to the evening.

Ask for the gravy on the side. Exceptional dish! Their drinks are also really good. The bartenders know what they are doing. You won't go wrong with any cocktail, a glass of the house whiskey, or just asking them to get creative for you. Service is always excellent. Professional, friendly, attentive. Very well run. And the location is really cool - an old ice factory turned into a restaurant. Its industrial setting goes with the vibe. While the Saint Augustine trolleys cart people here, don't write this off as a tourist trap. It's one of the best restaurants in North Florida.

We walked in around 12 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon and was able to sit at the bar with no challenges. Bar area is open seeing if you want a table you do have to check in. I started with a handmade Italian soda the ginger one and I love this because the ginger is very pronounced. It's very crisp and light. I also got an order of their soup of the season, which was a red curry. It was absolutely delicious. Had great flavor little spice at the end of it as well. For lunch, we split the fried chicken that comes with collard greens and whole cakes. The collard greens are by far one of the best that we have ever had. They use slab bacon and they're absolutely delicious. We've literally talked about them for years and they were just as good as we remembered. Fried chicken was nice and moist and the hocakes cakes were very sweet. For drinks, I tried one of the seasonal ones which was the witches of Eastwick. The gin based drink definitely was sweet, but exactly what I was looking for. My husband got an old-fashioned because they had black walnut bitters when he was really excited about.

Shakshuka was so fresh and good with the homemade sourdough. Lobster Benedict with ikura was 20/10, the hollandaise sauce tasted so fresh idk if I could eat it anywhere else now. Grits were off the chart, and we had a few picky eaters who said they were the best they have ever had! Bacon was thick cut on the breakfast sandwich, which they loved. Sunday they had a biscuits and gravy with local sausage, that was hands down the best I have ever had. They have a great wine selection and other things to purchase like local art. We ended up buying two bottles of their orange wine, which was delicious! Everyone working was so kind and cool. Wasn't too loud inside and the vibes fit perfect for the location. If I lived closer this is def a breakfast and coffee spot I would frequent!

Seeing a 4.9 rating honestly made me pretty skeptical becuase usually places that hyped never live up to it. But wow... this one actually did. I'm pretty sure my 5 stars are gonna help push this place to a full 5.0 The design itself is cute but not exactly perfection, and the checkout line process could definetly be smoother during busy times. BUT the food... thats where this place absolutley shines. The Arepas Special with the corn pancakes filled with eggs, avocado and tomatoes was an absolute BEAST. Fresh, flavorful and super satisfying. Then the Avocado Toast with the sweet pumkin pieces just blew the rest of our taste buds out the window. Such a weird combo on paper but somehow worked sooo good. And finishing it all with a Cafe con Leche and a blueberry scone just put the final dot on this breakfast experiance. It honestly didnt feel like "just breakfast" it felt like an experiance you remember later. Big shoutout to Huhny for a human she is! She absolutley knocked it outta the ballpark with recommendations, brought everything fast to the table, and you could really feel the passion and positive energy she delivered Thank you team, we'll 100% be back next time we visit your cool town St. Augustine.

There was a customer with a dog, which someone came over and pet. They stopped petting it and it barked LOUDLY, scaring me. I hurriedly finished my food (which I had found a hair in the potatoes as I was finishing up) because at this point it's obviously not a service dog and was still allowed in a restaurant. As I was leaving it barked again, very loudly. This coupled with some of the conversations I heard while eating has sealed the decision to not return. Still on the hunt for a peaceful place where I can enjoy a meal.
