The Spot - (Near Gainesville, FL)

5 /5 Britney Megnath: I got the street chicken souvlaki and I really liked it. It was pretty big and there was fries in it which made it super good. It had mustard which I didn’t expect I normally don’t like mustard but it was ok. I really liked the wrap itself. My boyfriend got the burger and he really likes it he said it’s one of his fav spots to get a burger in Gainesville. We ordered inside and our food took about 15 minutes. I would recommend this place, it is even cheaper than a lot of places on university.

5 /5 Evan C.: Fantastic, truly mom-and-pop place. The gyros are tasty and generously portioned, the veggies on them were very fresh and crisp, and the fries were hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The service was very friendly, and my order was ready in less than two minutes! On top of all of it, their prices were unusually reasonable. Genuinely one of the best spots in the area!

1 /5 Coolio Slime: BOOT. This place used to serve awesome, crispy, fresh onion rings last semester! Now? I ordered onion rings and was given a box full of burnt, out of the bag, obviously manufactured thin excuses for onion rings. A massive downgrade in quality that was not obvious until you spent money on it.

5 /5 Christel Cashion: The Spot, was quite literally, the best food I’ve enjoyed immensely in years! I ordered the Gyro Plate, which came with a salad, and I ordered a side of Hummus with Pita Bread. If I could afford to eat here every single day, I really and truly would! It was beyond delicious, spectacular, magnificent, fresh, and I am thankful I tried them! It’s my new favorite, and I am obsessed! Pictures just don’t do it any justice, you really really have to go try it! And please tip, it’s well worth it! I love this place very much!

4 /5 N G: Was looking for something a little different but not too expensive while in Gainesville for an appointment. We found The Spot listed not to far from where we were and Greek sounded like a nice fish change of pace. We ended up paying to park in the little deck right next door as endorphins in the area was full. When we walked in we were underwhelmed by the atmosphere... two small cafe tables inside the corner shop, a walk up counter to order from, and a drink cooler or two. The lady at the counter greeted us briefly, not rude, but not what i would call pleasant either. My husband ordered the Street Chicken Souvlaki, and I ordered the Classic Chicken Souvlaki combo. The food was ready relatively quickly and smelled great! Mine was huge!! Though they were both gyro style sandwiches, mine was definitely bigger than my husbands by far. He enjoyed his, which had the fries inside the sandwich (he didnt read what all he was ordering), but I ended up giving him the other half of mine because there was no way I could eat it all. There were pieces of chicken falling out everywhere! The tzatziki sauce was great, but the sandwiches could have used a little more. When i got to the half way mark, the chicken was starting to get a little dry so a bit more sauce would have been great. They may have given it to us if we asked but I already knew I was done with it myself, and my hubby seemed fine with it as is. While the ambience and service were basic, the food was good, and there was plenty of it, so overall not a bad deal for the price!
