Always great food/drink and service. Chris genuinely cares about his business in every aspect and will always take care of you. He instills the same work-drive into all his employees! One of, if not - the best vibe/ chill environment in town. While currently under construction/addition they are still at full service and capacity. 5/5

Good place to get late-night food and beer. The food is quite good -- especially the broasted chicken. Sometimes the music is a little loud due to the acoustics of the place, but the bartender has turned it down when I asked. There is a pool room at the back and it has a very laid-back atmosphere in general. I appreciate places that are open late, since I often work so late that there is nowhere else open in the city.

usually don’t complain on these but we were the only ones in there, server took awhile before asking us for drinks., food took over an hour and was given to us at very separate times. a lot of uncleanliness. and food was complete garbage. definitely not the spot.

The Caesar is not what the pictures online show. Very basic. Nice staff though! Just wish the picture shown online is actually what you get. 🤷‍♂️ (Celery, olives, pickles) would be just fine but in the picture it looks like shrimp and a fried onion ring. Plus the things i just mentioned. Would still recommend! Super nice lady behind the bar! ❤️

My husband and I stopped by for a quick drink and it was such an amazing/fun vibe! The host was very friendly and checked up on each table quite often. We mentioned we were on our mini honeymoon and he even got us free shots and did a cheers/shout out! Do stop by this bar if you are looking for a good and casual time. The picture of is there special vodka fish bowl!

We are from out of town doing a job locally. Looked for a restaurant just to grab dinner. Honestly almost turned around after seeing the front of it. But we decided to try....unbelievable spot. Owner is a great guy. Food was amazing. Totally a diamond in the ruff....had a trembley sandwich...poutine....and Mac and cheese nuggets for an appetizer. Craft beers on tap. Great music. All around amazing experience and highly recommend

December 22, 2023

Honestly not very impressed, was told we d have to wait about 30 mins since they just opened, totally fine no worries at all. But the chicken Caesar wrap was disgusting to say the least. Literally half of it was brown soggy lettuce and the other was green. They use sub cheese? On a Caesar wrap it was literally dripping out of it in the worst way possible. There was barely any chicken in the thing either. Was thrown in the garbage immediately minus a tiny little bite. All in all we won t be ordering the chicken Caesar wrap ever again, but I d be willing to try their other items since the pizza rolls were good.

We ordered take out from The Spot; the food exceeded our expectations. I got the flip em the bird quesadillas, absolutely delicious! We also thoroughly enjoyed their fire in the hole poutine. Lots of great options, take out order was still hot/warm by the time we got home.

December 22, 2023

First time ever ordering take out from them. Ordered the party platter and apparently what is listed online and what they actually put in your order are two different things. When I called to complain, they said I was wrong. The burger was way overdone and that bacon was burnt black. The fries with the wrap and the poutine fries were all burnt. The sweet potato fries that they put in the platter instead of the shrimp that was listed online was all burnt as well. The person at the desk said they threw in an extra blue cheese dressing because the burger may be dry. I think sand was more moist than this burger. If I could have given zero stars, I would have.

The bartender BJ is an absolute rockstar and introduced me to a new shot that is to die for as I ordered my dinner for take out. I ordered the new broasted chicken with wedges tonight along with spinach dip and spot bites, all to go. That broasted chicken take out box might be plain but youre in for a treat when you taste whats inside!! I already liked this place but Ill be coming back more often now!!

You are coming onto private property and placing a flyer on a car that was no way near the street. They pulled the wiper up to place the flyer on my car which was on private property. I had to reset my wipers of how they placed under a wiper. For whomever your hiring to do this, be sure they dont touch peoples property on their own property.

Do not order from here. Picked up food and people were gathered indoors having drinks when restaurants are supposed to be closed for indoor dining. Waitress did not have a mask on when we picked up our food either and she coughed right in front of us. They did not have a lot of food available to make from their menu. Food was poor quality and pretty much inedible. The fries were old and hollow inside.

★★★★★

We ordered quite a few items from here through a delivery service. Everything was delicious, with large portions. This is my new favourite pizza place. There was an error in our order, and we called the store directly about it. The customer service was incredible. The gentleman that answered the phone immediately appologized and stated he would personally drive over the corrected item. Within 30 min, he was at our door with the freshly made food. Making mistakes is human, and happens in any bussiness. How those mistakes are handled creates customer loyalty. I would highly recomend this place.

Server made me really uncomfortable with his random outbursts, screaming at the top of his lungs across the restaurant in an unhinged way. As we walked in with our masks on we were told that we can take those diapers off of our faces in here. Not a single person was wearing a mask and I was made to feel uncomfortable for having done so.

Close to home, open late(for Port Colborne standards). First take out order was industry standard. Second take out order, my burgers were charred on the outside and still raw in the middle, declined replacement, couldnt eat afterwards. Third times the charm right? Covid has calmed, perhaps Ill give it another shot its been months. Nope..Forgot side of gravy and out of only menu item wife wanted, substituted another without confirmation (it was compd, Wife not mad at ME at least) The smokers directly in front of the door / sitting on the step is always great too.

Nice small bar on main Street. The food smelled and looked amazing. I never tried it as I was only out for a couple of drinks. The problem is that the owner and his staff were half in the bag when we got there at 9pm. It was so unprofessional and disheartening. It is also a draw for a younger crowd, in their 20s.

Myself and my wife went in and ordered the appetizer platter and cheese burger poutine. Didn t wait long for food and drinks but then again for a Saturday night at around 6pm there was only us and 3 other people sitting at the bar. Food is reasonably priced for the portion size. The appetizer platter was your typical store bought frozen appetizers (pizza rolls, battered shrimp, poppers, battered pickles, macaroni bites, mozza sticks, battered mushrooms) accompanied with some dips. The poutine was heavy on the lettuce, light on the cheese, and it was a challenge to find a french fry that was fully cooked. For a fairly new place the oil they were using in the fryers was clearly old and needed to be changed which was obvious by the color of the food and smell inside the building. Would we go back or recommend a visit to The Spot? Unfortunately, no. The establishment needs work and staff needs to be trained better. The Spot could be a promising establishment under the right management.

Went to the City originally for Tuesday wings and a pint but the waitress didnt even acknowledge us. It also seemed like the kitchen was closed because lights were off. Came here instead and got the steak sub and it was amazing and service was good. Only downfall according to my brother was that for $13 for one of the best steak subs weve ever eaten it could have had a $1 worth of potatoes beside it. Overall 5 starts though. Owner and waitress super nice.
