4.0 of 5 stars. I use to go here as a little kid and after all these years it still the same SPOT. Great burgers packed with flavor. Chili has good taste and is a great compliment to the burgers. I have never tried...

Yelp.com Review - by Rich R.

4.0 of 5 stars. I first went to the Spot in the early 70's as a wee lad. I know the management has changed since, but it has left an impression on me after all of these years. I take my family up there probably 6-8...

4.0 of 5 stars. You know a burger is good when the brown paper its wrapped in is soaked in grease. When I was a teenager in the late nineties I was lucky enough to have a friend whose grandparents owned a...

Yelp.com Review - by rich b.

4.0 of 5 stars. I had a chili dog. It was OK, but a little salty. For one, it did not have cheddar cheese or sour cream. It came with a small fresh cup of onions. The chili needed some work. Not much deep chili...

Yelp.com Review - by joe s.

2.0 of 5 stars. A burger, fries and a shake will set you back about 10 bucks here, and I can't say that you're getting much better than at In & Out for 5 bucks. Maybe the shake is a bit better and the burger has a...

Yelp.com Review - by Jessica J.

4.0 of 5 stars. Yup, its that good. The shakes (I had chocolate chip, b/f had chocolate) are the perfect consistency for fry-dipping. Which, I'm my opinion is a huge factor in how much I like a place. The burger...
