    The Spot take-out
    Christian L.

    The Spot in Western Ohio is a great, gritty and meaty lunch for your money type drive-in. The staff is young and fast. The food taste is farm-fresh meaty and a bit greasy. The shakes superb! There is not much signage or neon at The Spot but the drive-in berths are wide and Covid 19 friendly spaced. After you press a button and the server takes your order the food is brought out to you on a plastic tray, wrapped in paper bags and you can eat your heart out. The Ohio Streetside burger variety that I got was really good and the meat tasted like it was just run from a local butcher or farm to 'The Spot'.. Prices are moderate and the shakes chunky, cold frozen and the huge. Helpings of meats, fries and sauces are gargantuan and you won't have to eat for the rest of the day if you stop at The Spot. Delicious shake flavors that stay chunky even on the hottest days due to being served in freezer cups. Long spoons make eating shakes easy with out a straw. Burgers are hot and flavorful! Review: 5 star burger digs, try it!

    We decided to stop here for an early dinner before a show at the Historical Sidney Theatre. I've always loved the old-school restaurants that have drive-thru features. However, we decided to dine-in since we found amazing parking. The experience is a little confusing at first if you're not a regular. To place your order, you have to walk to the back corner of the restaurant. The signs are easy to miss and the staff is working hard to keep up with orders so they aren't always able to help. I have to give the staff credit, I've worked in fast-paced restaurants before and they have their system down. The employee taking our order was extremely patient with us while simultaneously answering phones and drive-thru orders. I can't remember what sandwiches we ordered, but we also ordered fries and onion rings with them. I believe I also ordered a frosted malt! The prices were very reasonable and our food came out as it was ready so everything was hot. Everything tasted good, although we didn't have much time to stay. It was very cool being able to read the history behind this restaurant. Andrew and I love finding local establishments while traveling and this was a hidden gem not too far from home!

    Drive-up menu board

    I like The Spot. Since COVID, we regularly pull up to the menu board, push the button and order. Food is prompt, hot and fast. Not as fast as most drive up windows, but since it's made fresh, and we're parked, I don't mind the extra few minutes. We like their burgers, sweet potato fries (which don't show on the outside menu) and their pies! So after a year of that, almost weekly, we decided on a Friday night to try eating inside. Maybe it was a bad day, but it was a mistake. The inside is a well worn 50s style diner minus the counter. About 8 tables and booths had people eating, but there was no one in line, so I was straight to the register to order. A burger, tuna sandwich, and two sweet potato fries,, and two soft drinks. And then, the wait. Outside, a ten minute wait seems long. Inside, much longer. We finished our Cokes and got refills. No food. When they called a number, we were surprised how far behind they were. After 35 minutes, they called our number. The tuna was supposed to be on toast, but not. My Court Street Burger which usually has thick cut crispy bacon had shriveled, fatty, under done bacon, which I removed. Yes, we could have complained but after that wait, we just wanted to eat. It was good, sans bacon, but not as good as usual. I forgot to order pie, so we placed a second order for pie and another sweet potato fry. Pie delivered immediately, and the wait for fries began. At 7:40pm, they locked the door (they close at 8). After 45 minutes I approached the counter and both cook and cashier said "we're closed." I said, okay, but we've been waiting on these fries for 45 minutes. They apologized and we could hear the fries hit the fryer. They were up quickly (a little too quickly) hot, but undercooked. Again, maybe a bad Friday, but we'll be back at the drive-in menu next time.

    It's an old diner. Not 11-Madison Park. The interior and exterior of this store has a feeling straight out of the 60's and is what I would refer to as 'quaint'. The menu has your normal offerings; breakfast till 11a, hamburgers, sandwiches, soups and pies. The food we ordered was pretty darn good if you're in to diner type foods. If you're looking for a 5-star meal, go elsewhere. The staff were all super friendly. As per the normal with me, I ask a lot of questions regarding the menu, what's popular, etc and the nice lady at the register answered them all without ever showing a slight hint of annoyance. I'd have no hesitation eating here again next time we are in the area.

    Onion Rings
    Heather D.

    This is the first time I've eaten food from this restaurant. I follow them on social media and it always looks delicious. My son and I went in back in 2019 but because of his shellfish allergy, we couldn't eat there. Their online menu doesn't list shrimp but it's on their menu in the restaurant. I had errands to run in Sidney and I was going to get one of my favorites but I decided to try something new. And I really wanted onion rings. I highly recommend the fries. They're delicious. They're crisp and fresh. The onion rings were terrible and disappointing. They were just a clumped mess in the packaging. I was able to break a couple pieces off while driving and they weren't crisp. I don't recommend the coleslaw, it was the driest I've ever tasted. The potato salad was ok but it was beige with no color or seasoning, I wouldn't recommend it. The Big Buy is as so disappointing. It didn't taste good and it definitely didn't look good. I only bought the pie because it's my boss' favorite so I thought I'd surprise him with it tomorrow. I've never had this kind of pie but it doesn't look impressive. I'll see how he feels but I don't have high hopes for it. I guess at least I know now. All of this food cost around $23 so it's cheap but I'd pay more for food I'm not going to toss.

    The only redemption was their onion rings. Chicken sandwich was rubber, burger was falling apart and everything else was very average

    I don't often repeat reviews unless something is very different since the previous review(s). This…read moreis one of those times. We had an art show to attend in Sidney and stopped here for dinner afterwards. It's a beautiful restaurant in downtown Sidney. I started with a cup of clam chowder. Salty and creamy, it was very good. Next I had the Ahi Tuna dinner. The tuna was a bit overcooked but still delicious (and also salty). But the veggies were way overcooked, mushy and served cold. Yuk. The rice was also way overcooked and a mush pile, yuk as well. My SO had the Ahi tuna appetizer as her meal and the Greek salad. The tuna was coated both sides with a thick layer of wasabi and completely overpowered. She tried to scrape it off. The salad was ok but lacking any feta (again, a Greek salad). Service was painfully slow even though it was not busy. (3/4 of the tables were open.) Given that, the bill was over $100, I would certainly expect more for that price. Sorry, but it will be some time before we return.

    We randomly ended up in Sydney on a Monday evening. After looking through Yelp, we decided to give…read moreThe Bridge a try. We lucked out and it was happy hour. Their martinis were half price (I think!). We both had a dirty martini with blue cheese olives! The starters were half price too. We ordered the tuna which was really good. It was served with wasabi. For dinner we both ordered the special, a 10 oz New York Strip. We split a wedge salad. The bread and garlic butter were wonderful! I could have feasted just on that! Our server, Madison was very helpful and thoughtful. We were really glad that we could pay our check right from the table using the QR code. We would definitely go back!
