The Spot

Very good my 3rd time here

Give it a shot, 'The Spot' will hit the spot!

I came across this little gem as a random advertisement online today, and upon seeing their many enticing pictures, and the fact that it's about five minutes from both my home and my job, I figured I'd give it a try...

Staff was friendly and welcoming, wait time was just as promised, prices were more than great for the quality, and the food was incredible!

I got mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, and I've honestly never thought they were really all that different from one restaurant to another around here, but these were different. Crispiest I've ever seen, and seasoned with parmesan and parsley... a nice added touch to mozzarella sticks that I've ever actually seen before in my seven previous years of being an Italian restaurant employee.

Their basic burgers/cheeseburgers are actually double burgers, and you tell them which toppings you want on them, with a dollar extra for bacon (do it), and when it comes to the crispy chicken sandwich, the piece of chicken is literally twice the size of the bun itself! All buns are toasted, unless ordered otherwise.

Quality of all ingredients is top-notch without a doubt, just as promised!

They have many other menu options that I didn't try yet, including Hershey brand milkshakes... so if any of my fellow local reviewers stop here, please share your experience! I'm certainly curious!

I will however, mention that as a brand new restaurant, they're still perfecting their craft, but they're INCREDIBLY close to the mark. Constructive criticism is always important to help new restaurants thrive; so I must say that all they need to do to make absolute perfection is to cook the meats just a little bit lighter, and use the juicier Iceberg lettuce, rather than Romaine. Without a doubt, "The Spot" could be a spot that Utica will not soon forget!

I wish the very best for the owners on their endeavor! I'll be back very soon.... again, and again, and again!
