I have eaten at The Spot many times over the years
Yesterday 10/12/25 was the worst I have ever seen. The hamburgers were not cooked fully. Raw in center. The place had food all over the tables needed cleaned. The floor needed swept! I so wish now I would have taken pictures! The lady cooking was very rude. Ot sure who is in charge now but definitely needs to step it up. The only nice employee in there was the lady running the register. Smiled and was nice and friendly.

I’ve eaten the Spot for nearly 60 years and honestly today is the most disappointing experience ever. Service was long and when asking was asked “do you want your food or not” several times in a very rude tone. Then get the food and OMG the normally delicious onion rings are SUPER GROSS! I sure hope new owners read this and take to heart. I brought a friend today bragging about the food and delivery of product and this was unbelievably disappointing.

Would there happen to be TWO of these restaurants, because we must have been at a different one.
We traveled over an hour (from Van Wert) to visit this restaurant because of the write-up on another page.
Boy, were WE met with a different experience!
