Intriguing little place in a small town with little competition for miles. The food is better than any restaurant in Georgetown (although the menu is a little weird - hipstery pub fare with sushi made on the back corner of the bar?), and the bar is well-stocked. A good selection of both beer and spirits, paired with a friendly and knowledgeable staff makes for positive experience each time you go. Trivia night can get aggressive (so trying to keep a conversation going can be difficult), the bar doesn't seat too many, and closing at 11, even on weekends, is a buzzkill. Other than that, an extremely above average bar in a town that doesn't have much else going on. read more

We came here last night with another couple. Loved the atmosphere it was a busy night they have a bar area while you wait to be seated. We had calamari rings and wings for the app. One of our friends ordered a chicken sandwich it looked good. They have a huge menu. We ordered the sushi and it was great. Friendly wait staff. It did take a bit for service and seating, they were out of menus but We will definitely come back again it's probably the closest and best restaurant for us living in Boxford Craig and Charm read more

The only game in town... Been multiple times, the sushi is surprisingly good, although very expensive... In all honesty I'm usually disappointed with my meal. Like, I've been about 8 times and either haven't finished, needed a re-cook, or flat out hated my meal 5 out of the 8 times...:( Wish I could say great things... just can't. Super expensive on top of it! Last week's special: penne with shrimp. $25.00! 6, shrimp. Freaking ridiculous. It's penne for chrissakes! 5 Oz burger and fries, 1 sushi roll and 2 beers and a Prosecco (from a can mind you) $70.00! Burger required a recook, it was incinerated I asked for mid rare. read more

My wife and I had dinner with our boys tonight to try and take our minds off a difficult day. Today we said goodbye to our dog. While eating our son dealing with the loss in his own way blurted out [Our Dog Died], the waitress (Julie) looked to us in horror or for some kind of affirmation. She offered her condolences and when she brought the check over they had taken care of everything. She said something about points on our card or whatever, but something more special was at play here. Now, we got to The Spot regularly anyways, it is always great and the kids love it there. But this gesture was something special. It was not lost on us, and while we didnt completely get to separate ourselves from the day, we smiled. Julies thoughtfulness and compassion deserves to be recognized. I plan on posting this everywhere I can because this is what makes a friendly neighborhood spot a staple in a community. read more

Have visited more than a few times and been generally pleased....however our last visit was a disaster, a Wednesday night ...we sat and ordered ...the app came out and then we waited and waited for our entrees ( a salad and shepards pie) nothing complicated ....40 minutes later we decided to just leave....we told the hostess and she responded with " oh ok " I understand foul ups in the kitchen, stuff happens but the more I thought about that response the more steamed I got ...not a proper response to a problem.... read more

Friendly good service. Great bartenders. Average food unfortunately and pricey. People love the sushi but that's not my thing. Best bar around only because it's the only bar in town. read more

Another great place. I like to go early afternoon it can get a bit noisy. Families bring their children so it can get laud. Besides that it's a great place. read more

Not a sushi place don't get sushi there. They don't know what they are doing with raw fish. There cooked food is ok but way overpriced. More of a local yuppie gathering place than an accommodating restaurant. read more

we moved to Georgetown in 2016. Being new to the area, we went to The Spot. It seemed (from the street) to be a cool place. I was wrong. We waited at least 10 minutes to be seated, and when a young hostess finally seated us, she put our party of 5 at a very small and dirty table. We waited about 15 minutes before someone came to give us menus. Drinks were ordered, and they took more than 10 minutes. We ordered, and the food came out fairly slow, but at that point we were getting used to being treated like second-class citizens. The waitress was MIA, and was not interested at all whether or not we needed anything or wanted anything. To top it all, the bill was ridiculous for what we ordered; the food itself was mediocre. Save your money and go to a place that actually wants their customers to enjoy their meal and service. read more

Soooo good! My fiance got the steak tips, he loved them, said they were like butter, I had the crispy chicken sandwich, also delicious! Two thumbs way up! read more

Horrible. Run! Been coming here for years because we live in the area, but after a number of bad experiences they've now hit bottom. Burgers are never cooked right. Either too cooked or close to raw and missing half the bun. Our fries were tooth breaking hard, ugh read more

One star only because no stars isn't an option. Bottom line-if you aren't a local, don't bother. Walked in and hostess was nice (even brought us water) then we were flat out ignored for the next..idk 15-20 min even by servers walking right next to our table. Whatever. Enjoyed our meal down the road. read more

Been here a few more times since it's opened. They recently updated their menu to add even more food choices in virtually every category. Small diatribe against pub owners who don't care about their patrons' comfort and maintaining the furniture... At least one of the pub tables on the bar side has a wobbly table. Everyone knows about it and says, "Oh, that's just the way it is." No, folks, I don't choose to spend my good money at a restaurant that doesn't have furniture that doesn't work. My table in my house doesn't wobble -- why would it ever be okay to pay someone else for a meal while trying to balance your food all night long? We moved over to the next table (with our waiter's permission). Another couple was sat next to us and experienced the same poor table. They tried wedging something under it, but it didn't work very well. So they too moved over to another table, again with the waiter's permission. Then what appears to be the manager comes over to the other couple and tells them they can't sit there. She apparently didn't realize the waiter had told them they could. This misunderstanding -- and all the drama that comes from it -- could easily be fixed by FIXING YOUR WOBBLY TABLE! (And yes, it's odd brand-new furniture has this problem, but just fix it so your patrons aren't trying to fix it themselves. Every single night.) Moving on to the food... We started off with an app of the new teriyaki chicken wings and two small salads. The chicken wings were very good, moist and meaty and the sauce combination just right. The salads were also good. My wife had the chicken, while I tried the new meatloaf entree. Both were delicious -- well-seasoned and properly cooked -- although the portion size of mine was ridiculously huge (two potato pancakes the size of half the plate!). Last, the service... Our waiter was excellent. He was very attentive in the often-crowded and busy bar area of the restaurant, and handled cleaning our table with aplomb. Sadly, the kitchen can't really keep up with the orders when it's busy, so we were left waiting a long time for our app and salads. But the wait shortened when it came time for our entree, so that was good. Finally, is it worth it? Here's where it's hard to decide. You can have a wonderful night out at Keon's in Haverhill for two for well under $100 -- which was about our tab for dinner here at The Spot. This is a high-priced gastro-pub where you are actually going to end up paying more than you would at some other local restaurants. Is it worth it? Maybe once in awhile, but it couldn't become the local spot I'd go to every week because of the price alone. read more

I'm not sure what happened. I think I arrived shortly after a company shamming/employee meeting. I sat at the bar and quickly noticed a beer on tap I wanted, no problem. Upon being served my beer the bartender turned to the manager on duty and stated the following remark... "we won't get a corporate complaint about that pour, its perfect, you should take a picture". I was left thinking, did I do something I'm unaware of? I knew 2 thing; 1) I don't order food here because its terrible at best. 2) I write reviews on yelp... did I write something?(which I have not until now). I'm not sure what's going on here, if you've been receiving customer feedback it means that your customers want to let you know not just when you're doing well, but when something is wrong. I didnt hear anyone complain about positive feedback, time to muster up and accept negative feedback and do something positive about it. read more

Came by on a Monday night looking for a good local bar. Was surprised when we were told there was a 30 min wait for tables when there were tables that were cleared but not set up or needed to be bussed that were open. No worries we were fine to sit at the bar. The bartender was attentive and very nice. I was excited to see the unique fusion to the menu with both burgers and sushi offered. We order the tuna tartar, steak and cheese and the blackened chicken cob salad. I was extremely disappointed with the size of the tuna. Although the flavor was good for $20 the tuna portion size was very small, the dish was mostly seaweed salad. Way overpriced. Everything else was tasty! The chicken was juicy and the greens were fresh, the streak and cheese was melty and hit the spot. I'm sure we will be back to try more offering soon. One side note: I felt bad for the bartender who was slipping and sliding behind the bar. I highly recommend investing in bar mats so one of these girls don't eat it in the middle of a busy shift! Haha read more

Great hospitality. Drewski, our server is one of the greatest servers in the area. Anna, our host, was extremely great.

Overall mixed review. Went here on a slow snowy sat night with party of 7 after 8pm and was seated immediately. Service was attentive but from time we ordered vs getting our food was FIFTY MINUTES maybe longer. My daughter ordered kids steak tips... Fatty and gross. 2 out of 3 burgers were cooked as ordered. Sushi was "good", I had the meatloaf that was a very small piece 6"x3" and about 1/3 inch thick. The flavor was outstanding, but when you order meatloaf I expected a generous piece considering it was $22!!! Yes for meatloaf. So out of 7 of us, 7 for 7 felt service was brutally slow for a half full place, 2 out of 7 "really liked" their food. 4 of 7 won't return. The other comment was overpriced for a few of the entrees. So expect to wait a long time to get your meal and pay a lot doing it. read more

Waiting over 30 Minutes for a pork belly taco... As an appetizer Then watching the waitress making fun of you at the kiosk to her fellow servers. Not good. Taco was so bland. And gross. Kale wit pork belly on a corn tortilla. Gross. Several empty tables... There is no excuse read more

Atmosphere is laid back, bar scene is cool. The bartenders were really pleasant but slow to serve. Food was average but very expensive for what you got. For instance we got a spicy tuna roll (sushi) and it was $18 for 8 pieces.... yikes. WARNING: do not drink here. The police sit outside and wait for patrons to leave the bar. I don't encourage drinking and driving at all but I know for a fact Georgetown PD watches this place like a hawk. read more

Be aware that the special deals advertised on their website are not available for pick up. We ordered based on what the website said and were very disappointed in both that fact and then the sushi came with no chopsticks and no soy sauce! read more

Husband and I went last night for dinner lived in the area for a few years and have always driven by but never had the chance to go have to say the food was excellent. Ordered the calamari which was top notch (gotta have my fried squid) dinner consisted of the Mac and cheese and a turkey club wrap both were tasty the only flaw was our dinner order was a bit slow coming out but it was worth the wait server was helpful as well. read more

**** DO NOT EAT HERE! My first and only visit with my family, we got hair in 2 out of 4 meals. The staff in the kitchen has facial hair which obviously isn't well maintained! The wait staff doesn't check to make sure everything comes out properly nor do they see if you n3ed refills on drinks. The atmosphere is to stressful and loud. read more

This place is the best. Miriam is the best. She recommended the best food and drinks. Food was awesome and drinks were awesome. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Passing through town, there wasn't much to choose from for lunch, so expectations were low, but shouldn't have been. I had an exceptional burger and, because I could, salmon nigiri for an apetizer. The bartender was also super friendly. I'll be back next time I'm in Georgetown. read more

Incredible wings, Tuesday nights don't miss. Our server Drew had astonishing customer service and never failed to keep us satisfied.

Very good food. Excellent service. Over priced for a pub on Rt 97 in Georgetown though. $95.00 for 3 apps, 2 beers, 2 glasses of wine, 1 cup of coffee, 1 appertif and bread pudding. I will def. patronize The Spot again, it is 2 miles from my home, but I will be a little more discerning with what and how much I order. read more

My friends and I all love The Spot. They have had their struggles, as many newer businesses do, and I think they all come back to employees. I know Management and Ownership are invested and attentive, but sometimes the service is slower, which is the root of the Spot's problems (Cold food? Slow server - too much water in your drink? Same deal.) Whenever I have commented, Management has been receptive and I have noticed vast improvements. People leaving too-harsh reviews are unrealistic, and have no basis for a business understanding. The first year is the year of blunders and change, and I feel the Spot had handled their blunders with grace and accountability, and the change is all for the better. Their food is always gorgeous and flavorful, and it fills a huge gap in restaurant type in this small town. I recommend you sign up for the Serenity Rewards card, which gives you great value. For Sushi fans, please make sure to try The Spot Roll! Also, I strongly disagree, and take offense to, the review saying that the Georgetown PD is just waiting to pull people over. The Police Officers in this town are all nice family men, and they do take their concern for drunk driving seriously, for the sake of the families in our town. You made it sound like that is a bad thing, or that the restaurant should somehow discourage police presence? - but you hit the nail on the head - Don't Drive Drunk. Have your drink, eat your food, drink some water, and only drive when able. Great restaurant - I think I'll have to visit this weekend. read more

atomosphere is kinda sports bar vibes. food is pretty standard. not blown away by service or taste.

The Spot is still my go to place for lunch. The food is still as good as it was when it opened a few years ago, and the selection of beers on tap is great. I typically eat at the bar, the bartender Tammy is a great girl and knows the menu thoroughly. read more

Great food always. However I think every single time I have got take out from this restaurant it has been extremely late! 5 or 10 mins wouldn't be a big deal, but when they say 30 minutes it always takes an hour or more. Shouldn't be that hard to just tell people around how long it will be. read more

Slowly watching this places decline....and it's really disappointing because I love having a local place to eat, but.....the burgers are still good. Hard to screw that up :-). But the salad was strangely seasoned (it was only a Caesar but was definitely over somethinged....and the anchovies that you pay an extra buck for we're pretty darned fishy). Then I ordered the sushi, something that was always good. I mentioned to my friends that their rolls were expensive but they were big and certainly a meal in themselves. Welllllllll....not. For 18 bucks the roll was small to average, and the flavors were meh. With so many good sushi bars in the area to compete with, I hope their bar business can keep them afloat. There's just something not right about paying for an expensive meal and walking away looking for a snack. Nuff said. read more

Fabulous burger, cooked to the right temp! So often, when I ask for a "burger medium," it's overcooked. But this place nailed it. Service was fast at the bar, and my side of garlic-infused spinach was a great healthy accompaniment to my burger. The aesthetics are great here, too. Warm wood tones and a fireplace in the dining room really make it feel welcoming in the wintertime. The music was good while I was there -- classic rock. My food came out quickly, but it wasn't that busy when I was there, so that was no surprise. I was on the wagon when I was there, but the beer selection looked very good to me -- both craft beers and mainstream beers. They have a full bar. read more

The Spot - Burger made to order - medium-rare, bacon, lettuce, tomato, blue cheese crumbles, and no bun. Side of onion for the burger. Sauteed spinach. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Georgetown, Massachusetts

Went to meet a friend at the Spot in Georgetown. I was welcomed warmly at the door and was waited on immediately at the bar by Tammy. Not only is she easy on the eyes but she is funny and a great bartender. The chef ce put to talk to us about the new menu and it was cool to see how excited and proud he is of the new menu. Mike took over for Tammy as bartender and he also is a great bartender with a great personality. The food was great. I love the friend pickles, the sushi and the Rubens. Glad to see they made it through the shit down!!!?? read more

Fantastic lunch with my husband and niece. The waitress was very friendly. We had a coupon for $15 off which was no problem to use. The kids meals are huge!! All the meals were hot and fresh! Loved it. read more

Went here on a Wednesday night. Crowded bar but found a seat. Got a well made stoli raz madress. Ordered a cup of house made chili. It was good. Wish it came with crackers or something but thats ok. Now for the reason for 4 stars. The BURGER. It was top 10 burgers of my life. Served on a brioche bun, cooked perfectly and served with what looks like house cut fries. Awesome. I even went back two nights later for another burger, hoping it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. The burger was great. The bathroom was clean and stocked. Only bummer is that it seems like once people get a seat at the bar they are there for the night. Highly recommended this place. read more

Well the fried pickles r quite addictive, but SHARE THEM! Sushi not too great but will try it again. Portabello burger yummy. Great service at the bar! read more

I love the sushi items here the sushi cook is really talented, however IDK what's going on at the bar, service was non existent, had to ask after I was walked by 3-4 times for another beer and was never asked really anything, had to initiate all interactions with the bartender. This has not been my past experience here, usually pretty good, never once asked me how my meal was, (I don't send food bak I just don't order it ever again), haddock was cold and mashed potatoes were not hot enough to melt a pad of butter but Brussel sprouts were hot and delicious. There's 7 people at a 40 person bar and the service was terrible!! For the prices here u would maybe expect a little better interaction with your server. It a Tuesday late afternoon early evening, take note FYI.‍ read more

We've been to The Spot handful of times now & have been happy with our experience each time. We generally sit at the bar and have always had pleasant interactions with the bartenders. Most recently we were there on a Thursday evening and it was packed! Service was a little slower than usual but it was to be expected, there wasn't an empty seat in the house. We are frequent visitors to all of the Setenitee restaurants and are happy to have one in our hometown now. Although The Spot isn't my favorite of their restaurants I think in time it will only get better. Pros: Excellent tap selection, sushi & burgers on the same menu (typical Serenitee style), friendly staff, and fun "nights" (i.e. Trivia, Ladies, Sushi) Cons: Food can be somewhat inconsistent (one night, Awesome! Next night, underwhelming) read more

Comfort food and good service with a good beer selection. Where can you get a good burger, fried pickle or a sushi!!

I have been coming to this restaurant since it opened a few years ago and never had such really poor service by a waitperson .. we had a young woman who at first appeared to e be attentive to us ( a party of 3) who arrived at 4pm . We were slow to make a decision but once we decided and then received our food we literally did not have her attention for another 25 minutes. It was still not busy and could not understand what happened ... long story short this server did not apologize for her lack of attention to us as customers. We ended up having to seek her out and walk up to her to request our check and to go boxes. The food was good but not great and I and my friends decided we will not return to The Spot even though it is a good location . Sad that one bad experience can change you from a place read more
