Customer Reviews
Some of the best Greek food that I have ever eaten. The warm pita and hummus were incredibly delicious. My wife had the street gyro and it was almost orgasmic when I took a bite. It was probably the best, melt in your mouth, most amazingly tasty meat I think I've ever had. Since this is U of F campus area, it is best to park a couple of blocks down and walk in. The parking garage was quite difficult to manage with my Toyota Tundra double cab, but we made it. The Spot is definitely the spot for authentic Greek food obviously made with much love and care. I can't recommend it enough!
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!
I truly and honestly LOVE this place. I started going here YEARS ago, when I was an undergrad at UF. This place has sustained me through my masters degree, and now for two years (and counting) after that. In the 5+ years I've been going here, every single experience has been amazing. The chicken is seriously flavorful. The pita is soft and delicious. I LOVE their tzatziki. It is SOOOO good. Their fries are well seasoned, fresh, crispy, delicious, amazing. The owners are friendly (she even remembers how much I like extra tzatziki with my meal). I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Just try it out for yourself- you will NOT be disappointed. Delicious food and very reasonably priced. I WILL be returning again and again for one of my favorite meals.
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.
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 change of pace. We ended up paying to park in the little deck right next door as all the Street parking 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, mi
