The Spot — Restaurant in Charlottesville

Eh, the food was alright. Its a greasy spoon diner, nothing too fancy if that's what you like. If what you want is cheap food and decent quality, this could a good spot (see what I did there?) for your. I tried out their grilled cheese and turkey sandwich.

It's clear that the real star of the menu is the Gus Burger. I didn't know this, so can't comment on its flavor. Maybe try it out when you come here. The turkey and cheese sandwich was just okay. Bread was toasted, they did offer crispy veggies, and the turkey was standard. The price was around $8. Not bad but could be cheaper.

The cheese fries were surprisingly good. Your meal comes with a choice of s few different sides (mainly French fries or home fries, onion rings for an up charge I believe). The sauce was not too plasticy and genuinely flavorful. Overall, good. The employees are super quick and efficient, but the place can get pretty packed. All in all, not a bad spot to stop by for...

Before I say anything else, the staff were really VERY polite!

Aside from that... Lower your expectations!!!

I guess only college kids who are drunk on a Saturday night have been leaving reviews for this cave! We decided to try it because of the good reviews, and we were mislead!

The service was slow and overwhelmed by a group of 14, even though it was “order at the bar,” rather than one waiter trying to serve a table of 14. We all were not ordering at the same time & we did so over a 10-minute time period. (Read: this was not a massive “rush” that would have made their overwhelm reasonable)

The menu was unclear - ie: what is on the different burgers listed?

Speaking of the burgers, when one of our party went to the bathroom, he said he saw the burger patties stacked, uncovered, & not refrigerated.

Slow service, poor communication (menu), and unsanitary = perfect late night drunken college campus...

Great food fast service. This place is normally open late. This past week it's been closed with no sign on the door to what or when they will return. Myself and others have stopped by disappointed to find the doors locked and no one has been there for about a week. I hope it's just for a few days. I am surprised with the student's coming back that the place is closed Wednesday I meet my son for dinner we had to go some where else. I was not the one by person looking for one of their wonderful gyros. There were other people who came by and asked me if I knew why they were closed. It I did not. Know. That's two wenesday I have had to find some where else to grab dinner with my son. I will keep my eye out to see if they reopen soon. I would love a gyro this is a land mark a must for any visitors to Charlottesville. Be it late night or what ever I highly recommend you stop at...
