Galveston.com Review
What would the Seawall be without The Spot? We went there with friends recently when we wanted a casual and moderately-priced dinner. It was a hot day so we sat inside by the windows and the beautiful view of the Gulf. Self-service concept has you order at the counter. Lines were short so we ordered quickly, went next door for our happy hour Shiner Bock, and came back and settled in for a short wait while our food was prepared. We didn't have to wait long before we were buzzed to collect our goodies.

My companion had his favorite, the Gobbler Sandwich with a side of onion rings to keep it from being too healthy. The burgers at the Spot come with the best grilled buns and freshest trimmings (from a self-serve bar where you can get everything from pickles to jalapenos). With these additions, the sandwiches and burgers become so large that it's hard to get your teeth around them. This Gobbler was as good as he'd expected. Onion rings were once again the best, with plenty to share. You've got to try the onion rings! I don't even like onion rings but I love these.

I broke out of routine and ordered something different, the Caribbean Salad, with added grilled chicken. I loved it! Try imagining a mixture of lettuce, spinach, and spring mix tossed with spicy grilled chicken, fresh mango and strawberries, blue cheese, and walnuts, all drizzled with a slightly-sweet fig vinaigrette. This may become my new favorite, replacing the grilled chicken burger which is oh-so-healthy.

The Spot is a rarity, an establishment which consistently has good food even through changes of ownership. Go by car, by foot, by bike, skateboard, etc., but be sure to have a bite at The Spot.

Nola 7/13/2008 8:11:00 AM The trurh is the food is just OK. It's affordable for a family of 4. the burgers and salad are your best bet. The shrimp kisses will have your stomach hurting. It's rap in bacon and the bacon is under cook. I don't want to forget the services. it's the kind of place that you order your food and then they call you come and pick it up at the counter. Both my family and the faimly we wer traveling with order was messed up. so keep yur receipt you will need and check all to-go orders befoe you leave. But you will fair our okay with any of the salads or burgers. All in all we ate there one night and had a to-go order another night. It's affordable. AG 7/10/2008 4:48:00 PM Very good food and atmosphere but took a very long time to get the food. Steve Smythers 6/28/2008 11:17:00 AM Great burgers. The family in front of us ordered the fried fish and it looked great. Will try fish next time. Kara 6/23/2008 11:29:00 AM We loved it. Great food, service and view! Margaritas are great! We ate there twice in one weekend. We loved it. Eddie & Janice 6/6/2008 3:53:00 PM We've come to Galveston every year we've been married (6) and can't believe we just discovered The Spot!! It is now our #1 place when we are on the Island. Great food, great staff, great that the owner is available and friendly. Fish plate is the best on the Island. Michelle 6/6/2008 12:55:00 PM I love this place. Great atmos and the shrimp kisses are to die for!!! chali 4/22/2008 5:07:00 PM Stopped here for luch during our stay for our anniversary...been to Galveston tons of times, cant believe I never ate here before! Burgers are awesome, love the fresh fixins bar...also the "Frickles" ( fried pickles) are great! Only setback was the VERY young waitress who was either new at serving, or just not good at it...but overall, the food, atmosphere, and margaritas were excellent!! Clay 4/13/2008 7:35:00 PM One of my favorite places to eat. It was the first palce my wife and I went to after moving to the island and we keep going back. World class burgers and a phenomenal bakery to boot. Comeaux 4/1/2008 5:56:00 PM My band, HOLYHELLROD played there a few weeks back and the experience was awesome!
