    Brisket on Mac n cheese skillet
    Jen M.

    Spectacular food! Stopped in for a late dinner and their great staff was so accommodating even though it was near closing time. Hubby had their skillet with Mac n cheese and beef brisket. He drizzled it with their spicy barbecue sauce and says it was amazing. $15 I had the brisket and blue salad. $13 And it was great too! Very yummy crisped onions on top, house made. Almost every item on their menu is gluten free (except Mac n cheese). Portions were generous. Prices great. Server was on the ball. GF cornbread was fabulous on the side. Can't say enough about this stop. Not fancy, just fabulous food.

    Gainesville is running out of local barbecue restaurants, so definitely give this place a try! I find myself here often whenever visiting family nearby. I've tried every type of meat and side dish here, over various visits, and all are tasty. Best Meats: 1. Chicken - tender and juicy, quarter dark plate recommended. 2. Ribs - Half rack in their citrus sauce is more that I can handle in one meal. 3. Brisket - Those burnt bits thooooo! Appetizer: Grilled Jalapeños - Must have here. Filled with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon and packed with smokey, meaty flavor. Sides: Cheese Grits- perfectly cheesy, I could eat just a meal out of these. The creamy flavor pairs perfectly with smokey, tangy, sauced meats. My family loves sitting on the patio and listening to live music here.

    Food was really good. The mac and cheese was extremely creamy and had a nice "smoky" flavor. The noddles were cooked perfectly too. Pulled chicken and the brisket were cooked on point. Ordered brisket lean and got just that! The fried okra was very greasy, but the ranch served with it is delicious. Bread pudding isn't too sweet which was nice! The sweet tea was fresh! Two "cons" was how slow the service was, only 5 tables with people at them, so not busy. Service was friendly, but they must have been extremely understaffed. We waited over 10 minutes to even put in a drink order, then another 10 minutes to receive our drinks and place the food order, not a place to visit if you are looking to have lunch in under an hour with drinks taking 20 minutes to receive. Also you have to choose 1 bbq sauce to try, they are not at the tables, so if you like to "try them all" that doesn't seem like an option here.

    Garlic bread, okra, cheese grits, and pulled chicken.

    Just attended the soft opening in their new location at the front of the Oaks Mall. Food was amazing, service was outstanding, and we had a very good time.

    BBQ Combo Turkey and brisket.

    New location at Oaks Mall. Friendly staff, great menu and delicious food. Highly recommend the smoked Turkey and brisket. Cheesy grits were delicious and house made coleslaw was great. There are like 10 bbq sauces you can get beside what's on the table. Try the citrus bbq sauce. It was great. If you're looking for a great bbq lunch or dinner you can't go wrong. Full bar with good selection of draft beer.

    The Spot - The Gyro Platter

    The Spot

    (187 reviews)

    $

    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.
