The Spot

First time here.. Jaden is our server ( I say is because we are still here 😊) IThe atmosphere is very family friendly. There are little slides for the little ones and a corn hole set. Outside has a couple of big screen televisions and the inside has plenty more. You won't miss any games here. Now the BEST part outside of the customer service the, FOOD!!!! I ordered the Seafood Platter and the others ordered Salmon salad, Shrimp and Onion Rings x2, Fish tacos. After the first bite NO ONE was talking at our table because the food was so good. All you could hear from our table was "Mmm, Mmm, THANK YOU JESUS, MMMMM, YES LORD, this is so good, it's not greasy, my waffle fries aren't burnt, we have got to come back before we leave this area". We were celebrating our son's bday and because we arrived 45 mins before the restaurant closed most of the staff was off doing closing or had left already. But, Jaden was so sweet and VERY apologetic because we didn't get the whole bday singing. But he did say if we came back at an earlier time and he's there he would gladly have the staff serenade our son. Overall our experience was EXCELLENT. Thank you so much Jaden and the Bartender for your AWESOME, AWESOME conversations.

I love the Spot in Galveston, and the League City location is wonderful! With the scratch kitchen, large bar, multiple seating areas, and the milkshake area- everyone in the family will love the atmosphere! I have major food allergies, and I appreciate the grace and care the team always puts forth in providing the best food and drinks!

Absolutely refreshing place to eat! Atmosphere is friendly, restaurant clean and neat. Marshall took care of us, attentive, professional and kind - fantastic personality! Delicious food and huge portions! A must visit!

We had the chimichuri steak, grilled chicken sandwich, coconut shrimp, and fish & chips. We also ordered a crispie milkshake (I think it was called) to share. All the food was good. I think the steak & shrimp were the most well liked. Our server was friendly and prompt. Clean booth and bathrooms. Music is a little loud, but fun atmosphere and decor. It was a good recommendation from the locals.

Lovely and relaxing atmosphere perfect for a group of friends or a good sized family. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the lovely environment and attentive hosts. My young son and I enjoyed the fries, spinach & artichoke dip and field veggies. Dominique our server I would have to say was the best part of our experience! She was attentive, very knowledgeable of the menu and went out of her way for a special artichoke request from my baby. Her dedication, expertise and personality was definitely a great lasting impression of this restaurant. Will definitely be back again with family!

I’m not usually a person to write reviews for restaurants but I felt I needed to share my experience for a place that I had been really excited to try and unfortunately was VERY disappointed. I had been wanting to go to the Galveston location since forever, but with the busy life I have just couldn’t make it there so imagine my excitement when they decided to build a location in League City. My husband was admitted to the emergency room on a Wednesday night this past week. After spending all day in the ER and finally getting him settled into a Room I was heading home, hadn’t eaten all day so I was like Hey, the Spot…why not. Grant it, it was late (I’d say about 8:30pm)…I placed an order to go for the kids chicken strip meal, fried fish plate, octopus, fried cheese sticks. Needless to say when I got home and opened the food it honestly looked liked it was from a fast food drive thru. The fish was cold, falling apart, the chicken strips looked like they were the last of the pickings, and came with more sweet potato tots that out portioned the chicken, hush puppies were not cooked through, the rest of the fish plate was just sad, and the octopus was tough. Like I said I know it was late, close to closing, but the restaurant wasn’t empty. I felt that I should have gotten the quality of food as if I was a customer having dinner there at 7:00 pm. I was just very heartbroken after spending almost $70.00 to really waste more than half of what I bought. Probably won’t return. 😢

The food was great, service could have been better. Web said Kid friendly with lots of patio games, however we went on Easter and they said the games were put away. So we sat inside with the kiddos.

Usually eat at the Spot in Galveston but met some friends here for Happy Hour; party of 6. The atmosphere is great, service very good and the food was the best. Met Kendrid and had Logan as a waiter; both very nice so all was good. My only gripe is that bar service was painfully slow. So slow, I ordered my next drink before finishing my first so I did not have to wait again.

Finally got out to Texas to give this place a try. I've had it on my list but haven't been near Galveston. I love this location in League City as it is really spacious and parking and access is easy. Ample seating inside so you shouldn't have too much of a wait. They serve traditional American fare and promptly get out entrees. We got the hot honey chicken, cheese sticks, and shrimp poboy. The chicken sandwich was bigger than my husbands hand. His only complaint was that it was a little more breading than chicken. The shrimp pivot was perfect. Shrimp seasoned and fried to perfection. I usually don't like log cheese sticks but these were good. High recommend for a bite and get that drink flight to go with it.

After a long weekend trip in Galveston, my friends really wanted to stop at The Spot on our way home. We arrived around 5 p.m. and were surprised that our party of seven was seated right away. Our waiter was super attentive, especially to one of our friends who chugs water like nobody's business. He seemed to like us and made sure we were well taken care of, bringing waters for everyone, plus three extra at a time for our thirsty friend! I ordered the Fish & Chips, and while the batter on both the fish and fries was crispy and flavorful, the fish itself was a bit too hard and dry. The honey citrus slaw wasn't particularly memorable, but its acidity paired nicely with the richness of the fried food. Even though my dish wasn't a standout, I'd still come back and try something else next time. There were a lot of other items on the menu that looked really good, and my friends were happy with their meals, especially the Baja Fish Tacos and Seared Salmon.

The Spot in Texas City is a fantastic place to grab a meal--I've been several times, and the food never disappoints. My go-to is the shrimp po' boy, which is always fresh and packed with flavor. I like to add the hot honey sauce from the chicken sandwich, and let me tell you, that sauce is next-level! The fish tacos are another great option--they've been consistently delicious on every visit. While the service was a little slow this time (I got my beer just a couple of minutes before my food arrived), it didn't take away from the overall experience. If you're in the area, I highly recommend The Spot in Texas City--and if you get the chance, check out the original location in Galveston

Had heard a lot about this restaurant. Headed to Galveston, but the line was wrapped around. We decided to drive to this location, which I do not regret. Service was amazing, food was delicious, drinks were good and great price overall!

The OG in Gtown will always be my fave but I also love this location since it's right by our house. Everyone's friendly, place is chill and clean and plenty of parking space outside. They have been featuring different margaritas every month for only $6 and was finally able to try this month's flavor- Blood Orange Margarita- it was refreshingly delicious! Had the tried and true shrimp poboy, and also ordered a smash burger, buffalo wings that I forgot to take pics of- highly recommended! I had their chocolate cake to go but was a bit disappointed it was more on the fudgy side. Guess I should've tried one of the mega shakes instead :)

***This is a 3.5 rating.*** I've heard people mention that this place does not compare to the original Galveston Island location, but I've never been to the original (it's always been too packed). This joint is good enough on its own. The atmosphere here is fun; the service on our visit was good. The food here came out exactly as ordered. The cheeseburger was juicy, though I was not a fan of the house pickles here (too salty). The beer selection is good, and the menu is diverse. I would -- and plan to -- return here again.

Was finally able to try this new location. I had only ever been to the one in Galveston previously but after trying both, I can say that I definitely like this location better. I went on a Saturday for lunch with a friend and it was not crowded at all and service was prompt. The decor is so cute and the food was pretty good. I had fish tacos and hot lemon pepper wings. My only complaint with the wings is that they could have been seasoned differently. It's like the seasoning dust was just sprinkled on top of the wings instead of cooked into them. But one thing I did love is that apparently there was a special on the wings so I got them half price which was very appreciated. I'm happy that I finally had a chance to try this location and I will definitely go back one day.

I've been here twice, but I have been to the location in Galveston many times since it has opened. This location has a different set up, but the atmosphere is still great. I tried one of the frozen margaritas, and it was pretty strong. I'm not complaining because it was good. I also was in the mood for the Spot appetizer sampler as my main dish. It was perfect with the margarita as we watched football on one of the screens near the bar. The service was very good, and the waiter provided good suggestions. If you order the Spot appetizer sampler, you can pick the flavor of your wings. The menu states that it's the hot wings, but the waiter informed me that I can change the flavor. I chose the lemon pepper wings. They were crispy and good. I liked all of the items in the platter. The shrimp kisses were cooked perfectly and the bacon was nice and crispy.

Have come here a few times and it never disappoints. Went on a Saturday night and was sat right away. The drinks were good and food came fast. This grilled steak was delicious. It was already cut which made it easy to eat and the sauce was amazing. It really made the meal complete. The mashed sweet potato's were so good. Will definitely go back again.

Their smash burgers are absolutely delicious! I love their battered fish tacos, but I do not like the blackened fish tacos. I usually order delivery, but I have eaten in the restaurant twice and the atmosphere is very good.

Super mediocre experience at this Spot location. Cannot say that anything was bad, but I didn't enjoy dinning here. The atmosphere is loud, lots of TVs playing, tons of seating including outdoor area and a play area for the kids. It very much mimics what a Chilis, TGI Friday is going for, but it seems like they are stretching themselves too thin here. The service was fine, nothing special. The food was disappointing. Again, nothing bad, but really bland, boring and forgettable. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife ordered one of their burgers. The irony is that The Spot offers a wide variety of menu items to choose from - so many things that catch your eye, but as your searching you don't really see anything REALLY good. Overall, we both felt unsatisfied and thought going anywhere else would have been more worth our time.

I was surprised how good the food was and the beverages were enjoyable. I'll definitely be returning

Not during a holiday! Takes to long , and I hate waiting! I can do that at home! This is ridiculous, to have to use so many words, just to say one thing!

Came here for dinner and really enjoyed it! They have an outdoor area with a cute little play area for the kids. Our server was very nice and attentive. I had the fish and chips and shared the happy hour fried pickles with my date :). Everything was pretty good, but my favorite was definitely the waffle fries from the fish and chips!

Girls lunch! Food was good. Service was great! I love the way they decorated this one. We've been to the Galveston location many times. It's definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.

This place was spot on!! Burgers and fish sandwich's good. Servers excellent, food came out kinda quickly. Will be back, excellent for heading back to Houston from beach too. Lots of TVs too.

Good consistent food quality for a burger place. I get my food to go due to lack of service. Price is ok for what you get but all food is overpriced these days but if you want a good quality burger and avg fries I would give this place a 8-10. And Yelp quit asking why I didn't give a 10. If you want a 10, deliver my food to my house for free and give me a back rub lol. Just a joke.

The vibe here is def different than the one in Galveston but it's nice. It looks like a gringos inside honestly. Had the Cajun chicken sandwich and it was great. Waffle fries were a hit as always.

Having visited its sister location on the island, I knew what to expect. I believe the building itself was a previous restaurant. It is in a high traffic area. Parking is plentiful. What is different here is that you are given the option to dine in with waitstaff or order at the walk-up counter. Their email club brought us in for the complimentary birthday appetizer for my wife. We went with the sampler, and it is huge, probably a meal for two easily. We did end up ordering everything from the counter. I went with the shrimp po-boy, and my wife got the fish and chips. Our daughter nibbled off the sampler. So the prices have changed a bit higher. And even though you order at the counter, you are still somewhat serviced by waitstaff. The dilemma you may face is feeling obligated to tip twice. The counter terminals prompt for a tip. Of course, it is totally up to you. Overall, the vibe is fun and inviting with the up tempo music. There is a 360 wrap around bar that was crowded possibly for happy hour. I'm not sure if they have that, though. Overall it is worth a visit.

One of Galveston Island's best places to grub on burgers and seafood as well as tie a few down, The Spot sets down stakes on the mainland in League City. As of this writing, the establishment was conducting a soft opening ahead of its official introduction post-Labor Day. The Spot League City is housed in a building that was once a breast-aurant called Tight Ends. But unlike its predecessor, The Spot provides clean, pristine family friendly environment and is likely to be a bigger, stronger draw. I used to frequent the original Spot, which had the oh-so delicious ribeye steak sandwich. Here, I helped myself to the Ahi Poke Salad. You should've seen my eyes when my waiter brought it out to me. It was in a bowl almost big enough to feed at least two people. The vegetables and the ahi chunks were fresh, plentiful, and nicely doused in a flavorful lemon-balsamic vinaigrette. There was much of the salad I ended up getting it boxed. Overall, I have a new go-to item. May I add that you have to start your lunch or dinner with the fried pickles, of which the kitchen staff gives a generous amount. They were served right from the fryer, with each bite a burst of sour goodness. Just like the previous places I reviewed, The Spot presents itself as somewhere I could catch my Astros, Rockets, and Texans. Shout-out and congratulations to owner Dennis Byrd on his latest dining addition.

I was expecting the same service and quality of food as the Galveston store. The League City store is nowhere near the same quality and freshness of food as the Galveston location. In fact one of the League City store employees stated it was intentionally not the same as the GALVESTON store and some of the food is actually frozen. Granted, I've only been there one time and it wasn't too long after it opened I don't anticipate trying it again. You fooled me once, I don't plan on giving you a chance to fool me a second time

I have to be 100% honest. We dicided to give this place a try while it's still going through it's grand opening growing pains. Wait time on Wednesday night 8pm was about 30 min., not too bad. Our bar height table was way too close to our neighboring table. The staff and patrons kept bumping into our table while waking by. Very, very, very annoying. The table and seats were wet when we sat down, not a nice welcome. Atleast you know the seats were wiped down. The waitress was super nice, as was any other employee we dealt with. Super nice and courteous. I tried to order Miller lite, surprise surprise they were out. I had to order dos x, cause I sure as heck ain't ordering bud light. Wife had fish tacos which she enjoyed. Not enough cheese sauce and doesn't come with salsa. Son had the burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms. He said it was tasty, but it was rather small for a burger from the adult menu. He's 10 years old and he says it was small. See picture. Waitress up sold him on the onion rings, she should ask the parents not the kid. My daughter had the chicken strip kids meal. It was sad ok for a kids meal. I ordered the shrimp and fish po-boy. I was disappointed to find out the fish is tilapia, expected it to atleast be catfish. Generous portion of shrimp, the fish was rather limp and not crispy. Had to ask for tartar sauce. Only hot sauce option was Tabasco. I ordered two dos xx drafts. Menu says 29 degree, they were close to warm. I really want to like this place, I edited my original review, I was being too picky initially. Overall good experience.

The spot had very friendly staff, and possibly one of the best chocolate shakes I've had in a long time! I live in California and came back the next week for a quick day trip and had to come back for the chocolate shake! Their wings were also very good. We brought our kid here, and the staff was very accommodating to our seating needs.

Great atmosphere, drinks and food! My husband and daughter had a burger and fries while I had the harvest bowl. Everything was delicious we will be back.

My husband and I are always passing this place and decided to stop for the first time...we walked in, they sat us down at the bar area since we were only having drinks. My husband had sweet tea and water with lemon, I had a frozen strawberry margarita and decided on fried mozzarella sticks. The service was good, and our waiter made sure my husband had a full glass of sweet tea. My frozen strawberry margarita was good, but it was just a little too strong for me. I couldn't finish it all like I wanted to. For the mozzarella sticks, you get 4 sticks...the price is a little high but they are huge, bigger than your average mozzarella sticks. Overall, The Spot is a great place to just hang out and chill. Very relaxing and fun. Sorry, no pictures this time.

About 8 months ago I visited The Spot in Galveston, TX. That visit was AMAZING. 5-star all day. When I saw there was a new location opened in League City, we made a point to come during our staycation... unfortunately, it didn't compare to the original. The building itself is gorgeous. I love the Island look and the vibe inside. Our server was good. The negatives are with the food and the speed of service. It was disappointing that the locations have different menus. I had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich at the other location (and it was AMAZING) and was looking forward to having it again, only this Spot doesn't have it. (But they DO offer a fried chicken sandwich and they offer wings... why not have a Buffalo chicken sandwich on the menu??) I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich instead and my daughter ordered kids sliders. Our order took awhile to come out. People sat after us got their order delivered at the same time as ours. Not a huge deal but I noticed. Anyways, I took a bite of my sandwich and it tasted like seafood and was extremely salty. (PS I HATE SEAFOOD.) I thought maybe I imagined it and took another bite and nope... it tasted like seafood. Our server brought it back and they made me a new one. I asked them to leave the seasoning off the chicken as well. The new one was 1000x better. I don't know what they did different but no hint of seafood and tasted great without whatever seasoning they used the first time. He reassured me that the shrimp doesn't go on the same grill area as the chicken... which makes me question even more WHY my chicken tasted like fish/shrimp if they don't go on the same grill??? (I told my dad about the seafood-tasting-chicken and he said maybe it was spoiled... which now makes me even more nervous!!!!) Needless to say, the new sandwich took another 15+ min to come out. A big positive were the fries. They were absolutely amazing! Overall, despite fixing my sandwich, I felt this visit was disappointing. We only had a few meal "slots" available while on our Webster, TX staycation and I felt like I wasted one here.

The five stars is for the excellent service. I brought my husband in who has Alzheimer's and trouble getting around. They were so accommodating - helping me get my husband in and out of the restaurant and the bathroom. Food was good as well but I already knew this from the one in Galveston. The only disappointment for me was the fact they didn't have Mikey's ice cream and no chocolate peanut butter, milkshakes boo-hiss! Lol.

The original location of The Spot is a Galveston Island icon. Needless to say, League City was excited to get a location in northern Galveston County. I intentionally waited a few weeks before visiting the new location to make sure most of the kinks were worked out before I arrived and wrote them a review. There are pros and cons to the new location. So let's get started. Pros - First, the menu and food seems to be just as diverse and good as the Galveston Island location. One of the primary differences in the two locations is the League City location has two options available for dining in. There is a section reserved for table service and there are sections that are reserved for counter service. This is different than the original location in the fact that the entire restaurant on Galveston Island is counter service only. There were only two in our party and a 30 minute wait for table service so we quickly opted for counter service. After perusing the menu, we opted to get an appetizer and a burger and split both. Shrimp Kisses is a bacon wrapped shrimp served on a bed of fried onion strings. For the burger, we ordered the Ralph Burger. It also has bacon and onion strings piled on the burger. If I'm honest, we did not notice the duplicity until after we paid. Otherwise, we may have changed it up slightly. We ordered the burger cooked medium and it was cooked perfectly. The shrimp kisses were also very good. There were open tables in the counter area that are FCFS so we grabbed a small table for two. They gave us a buzzer so they could bring us our food. A burger and appetizer with two waters was $30. Not too bad. The cons - The biggest difference I noticed was the physical temperature of the food was warm to slightly cool by the time we received it. This is a definite negative. The original location's food is always served hot. In this instance, the food was not served at the correct temperature. Although it all tasted good, it should have been hotter. The fries were already cold, the burger and shrimp were lukewarm at best. I was definitely disappointed. The other major difference was the age of the employees. It seems that the employees that were hired at League City were much younger than the professionals that work at The Spot on Galveston Island. They just didn't seem to move with the same urgency as the folks on the island. Going back to the food temperature, I can't help but wonder if the food sat on a counter somewhere cooling down while it was waiting to be brought to the table. Bottom line - League City will never be able to compete with the original location simply because of the Seawall/beach. Since that is the case, owners and management need to ensure that everything else that makes The Spot iconic is, well, spot on. As for now, it isn't. I'll give them 4-stars for now. If the food temperature improves, I'll bump it up to 5-stars. If it doesn't, it will drop to 3-stars. Bon appétit, y'all.

We enjoy the spot sampler and burgers and kids play area on a pretty day. Service was good as well.

The food was good. It was very nice and clean. The seating was everywhere inside and outside. The service was good for how busy it was. Only complaint was with the mushrooms on the king burger. They tasted like they were from a can. Overall, good!

I live locally and love going to the Spot(in League City). Great atmosphere and food. The wait staff(can't recall the name since our last visit) and manager Issac was very nice and attentive.

Island Famous has made it's way Inland! What a great looking restaurant! The line was out the door and every guest was given the red carpet treatment. From the owner greeting every guest at the door, to the multiple attentive servers making sure you are taken care of. I decided to get the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich with onion rings and I'm glad I did. The perfect balance of sweet, savory, and heat. Nothing was overwhelming or drenched. Awesome to see the consistency from one location to the other. I can't wait to try the next one at Hobby Airport when I am traveling.

Food and service is amazing!! Kayla our server was amazing and attentive, also so sweet. We loved the decor, environment, and food. I got the Tuna salad, and my bf got the chicken burger! 10/10 Kayla is fantastic!!! She was one of the best server I've ever had! We will be back!!

This is a very good spot. The bartenders were very nice and attentive. The atmosphere was very friendly and inviting. We will definitely be going back soon!

Waiter Logan with the food mustache: did not take kids meal off on "kids eat free Tuesday". When I kindly asked for refund of 8.99 he handed me back my $100 bill and 5 singles and told me to do what I want with this instead of breaking it and refunding me as he should. His attitude was abhorrent. Will not be eating here again as I feel I was stolen from. 0 stars if I could.

Table for 2 at a relatively not-busy time. We were seated right away. From there we were largely forgot about. When we got to order, our appetizer came out with the main meal, and we were again forgotten about. The fish and chips were pretty bland, and the calamari had no seasoning. Ambiance was similar to the Galveston location, except you sit down to order, not go to a counter.

We met some friends and sat on the patio. We had drinks and shared apps. Mai was our server, and she was very attentive. We've been to the location in Galveston, but had never been to this location. My husband got the Dirty Monkey and I got an Amaretto Sour. Everything was good, especially the fried pickles!! We'll be back again next time we're in the area!

Drinks, service and food are always great. My favorite is the harvest bowl. The broccolini is cooked to perfection. The medley of flavors blend really well but everything has their own distinct flavors as well. My 8 year old is obsessed with their burger sliders.

The Spot has great food, but even some of their most basic dishes are expensive. Our service was fantastic. For those of you who drink (not me), The Spot has plenty of concoctions for you to choose from. I'm glad that this location doesn't serve turkey burgers. The turkey burgers served at the Galveston location are pure ground white, putrid-putridness! They have a play area for small children outside. The place gives off a theme of a tropical hut. The Spot has a variety of crazy milkshakes. I got a toothache and gained a thousand pounds just LOOKING at them in the menu! You're better off sharing those 'sugar bombs' with a large group of people. The Spot also have regular milkshakes and some simple desserts too. NO, they don't offer sugar free desserts. Because there's alcohol and they show sports TV, The Spot is always loud and rowdy here. The food's OK, but personally, this place just isn't for me.

I've been to the spot in Galveston, but the new on League City was 10 times better. Was very clean, the waitress was very nice and very helpful. My waffle fries were hot and crispy, very good. I ordered the spot burger, and it was very satisfying. I will go back again. Very soon.

The food and service were very good. Deducted a star because our party of 12 couldn't sit together. They don't have tables big enough for large groups. So we split 6 & 6. One of our tables had a waiter come and take drink orders right away. The other table had to wait quite a while and finally asked for a server. But everyone enjoyed their food. Servings were huge.

WOW! It's hard to put words together how delicious our food was. Our server Greg was fantastic. He had great recommendations for all of our meals in terms of ordering it extra crispy or adding on a sauce. Restaurant was nice and clean. Will definitely be back. Plus it's so much closer than Galveston!

Second visit and just as good. Female next to me recommended shrimp Diablo and she was right. Great flavor, texture and size.

The spot new restaurant in league city Texas. Just stopped in today to see how it measures up to the one in Galveston. Although I am only drinking today I can see by the decor that it's going to be as good as food as the other spot location. Welcome to league city looking forward to some island dry rub wings.

Cold food, only twice saw our waitress. My salad was disgusting so I did not eat. My wife has 2 drinks and said they were good. She also has the fish and chips and they were ok. The steak salad I had was littered with cold meat and the overall taste was horrible.

I ordered the cob salad and it did NOT disappoint! Fresh ingredients, super juicy chicken and the lettuce was tossed in what has to be a homemade ranch. It was exceedingly delicious! This salad is big, easily shared by two. I will DEFINITELY be back for this again.

The service was very very bad for a slow Friday night about 8pm. The servers were all standing around on their phones. Food was mediocre at best. Cold and over cooked. We didn't even get all the food we ordered.

Burgers were on point. You can tell the place is still a little new, but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We sat on the patio. It's one of the better places to bring the kids and let them run around. Overall, we'll definitely come back. Great addition to the area.

Just had lunch for the first time here, and I must say they didn't hit the mark. Food was bland with very little to no flavor profile whatsoever. Ordered a Micheleda (spicy) and it tasted very watered down and it seemed as if they attempted to fulfill the spice with more of a pickled flavor. Service was very attentive and we were very pleased with the friendliness of the staff, the music was nostalgic and loved singing to it with a random person in the bathroom, but sadly the food was a complete miss.
