Gourmet burgers, loaded cheesesteaks, and community spirit






















"If you judge your cheeseburger by how many napkins you need to have on hand when you eat it, then Brewerytown’s Spot Gourmet Burger is the place for you. Their Santa Fe burger is loaded with avocado, pepper jack cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, lettuce, and hot sauce. You might not want to eat it while rocking your favorite shirt. But that doesn't mean you're not going to want to eat it on a monthly basis. " - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
"If you judge your cheeseburgers by how many napkins you need to have on hand when you eat it, then Brewerytown’s Spot Gourmet Burger is the place for you. Their Santa Fe burger is loaded with avocado, pepper jack cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, lettuce, Mexican hot sauce, and because of all that, you may not want to eat it while rocking your favorite shirt. Eat it at the handful of tables inside or make it an essential piece of your picnic on Kelly Drive, since it’s only a few minutes away." - Candis R. McLean

"Started as a cheery bright-yellow trailer in February 2012, Spot Gourmet Burgers was Josh Kim’s hustle-from-scratch venture (after managing ATMs) offering five to seven different burgers per service plus specials like beef bourguignon; Kim worked 80-plus hour weeks while rotating locations in University City, built street cred through pop-ups and Twitter, and in 2016 opened a brick-and-mortar in Brewerytown—though he notes the 2013 food truck scene is no longer the same." - Eater

"Any truly good burger joint should also have a hot dog option, and at Spot Burger, all-beef hot dogs are under $5. The dogs come plain, but Spot has so many topping add-ons that you can customize your hot dog to your heart’s desire." - Dayna Evans

"Outside Spot Gourmet Burgers at 2821 W. Girard Avenue a Mama-Tee fridge is maintained by the host business and volunteers to provide fresh produce and donated staples to the surrounding community." - Jillian Wilson
