The Spot

I really love this place.
Dependable, accommodating and very affordable. The man who usually answers the phone will go out of his way to ask about a special substitution, order, etc. He’s always very kind and the delivery is always so quick. I’ve really only ordered a few things including a salad, breakfast, zucchini fries and sweet potato fries (which are amazing) oh and waffle fries! They have waffle fries! Enough said, right?!
Customer service here is always on point and they respect people’s time and money. Much appreciated ! A+

Very solid chicken cheesesteak. One of the few places I’ve had one where they actually spice the chicken so it’s not bland.
Good chicken finger platter. Fries are good. Have to ding them because the chicken finger platter no longer comes with coleslaw. This is not reflected on their menu online and in print. It took me ordering it 3 times for someone to actually tell me this and then they tried to charge me for it. I know rent is high, but I imagine coleslaw isn’t a particularly expensive item to make. I’m not expecting a huge container of coleslaw, but you can’t give me a small container size of coleslaw?

Since moving here, I found that many restaurants around here are quite pricey. Being a grad student and living on my own with a part time job can be difficult when the only places around you cost more than $ 15.this place is great for cheap and good tasting food. I’m not the usual, go sit down and relax kind of gal. I am always on the go and need good food that also won’t cost me so much. This is a great place with such a huge variety. Some people may get overwhelmed but since I usually order through the app, I get to look on my own time and think about what I want to eat. This place is rather small since coming from Texas but its a nice and quiet place, friendly service and good food. Whats not to like?

There’s A LOT on the menu, all pretty basic grill food, priced right for a neighborhood joint, but one thing worth mentioning is the Chicken Souvlaki. A great garlicy tzatziki sauce and freshly grilled chicken with veggies in a very nice pita wrap. It’s a great (and healthy!) lunch or dinner. Our friends (another couple in the neighborhood) recommended this and we’ve been hooked ever since. Steve (the owner) is a nice guy, too. I wish they offered more Greek food because THAT’s what they really do well. If this place focused on simply varieties of pita sandwiches and a single ethnic theme they would do phenomenal business. Sometimes too much «choice» is not a good thing. Would give more stars if there were more items of Greek origin.

Will do in a pinch, which is how I got here in the first place. I got a slice of spinach mushroom. Nice thin crust, well heated, good cheese but much too much garlic and salt. Also, they just dropped the spinach on top and put it in the oven to heat, so the spinach got completely dried out and I had to pull it off before eating the slice.

Pizza is GROSSSS. Both times I got pizza here it was soggy, extra salty, soggy, undercooked and it just fell apart like a sloppy mess.
I am not a PPP (picky pizza person). But come on! Sevs pizza is better than the spot.

I think this is the second time I ordered from this place. Don’t remember what happened the last time. I ordered from Grubhub and this was a mess. I’m waiting to see what I will get refunded for. The sandwich was not what I ordered, but I did expect a change since they had called me and told me they were out of an ingredient. But it still was not what I thought I was getting. I ordered a cake slice but they sent a different one, so I sent that back with the delivery guy. I cannot believe they can stay in business making mistakes like this!

A large specialty pizza was just $ 16, and would easily feed 4 people with a salad or something on the side. We felt like pigging out a bit, so it was just for 2 people accompanied by movie candy;-) We only got through ¾ of it and were both beyond full.
The pizza is good, the crust is thin but not crunchy. Ordered for pickup and it was ready within half an hour. Got the Scallopini pizza and we both really enjoyed it! I didn’t find it greasy at all, which was nice. We will definitely be ordering again.

This place has a very good chicken cheesesteak wrap, but if you are delivering be cautious of the roof delivery guy. I’ve had two encounters with the same guy and he is rude. The first time he was impatient, when I work at a hospital and was trying to meet him in the lobby. The second time he shoved the bag in my had since I told him to come inside instead of me going outside for the food. That is not how you treat customers! I called and spoke with the manager and he said «well he is very busy, that’s no excuse I’ll talk to him». If that was no excuse then it shouldn’t have been mentioned. I’d recommend only dining in, if you must.

Great food!!! I order from here all the time. They have some of the best burgers around which are also 100% pure angus beef and they make some of the best pizza dough around. Also try they’re soup! I’m personally a big fan of their waffle fries.

The food here isn’t bad, but it’s a problem when you order something and it is consistently incorrect. I ordered 3 things 2 of them were wrong. When I brought it back the woman at the counter gave me nothing but grief. I asked what we needed to do to communicate better and was a met with silence. Nothing like trying to figure out how to work with someone better only to get stonewalled.

Ordered the Chicken Ranchero Panini and the Chicken Cheesesteak Wrap. Both were good, especially for delivery food.

I’m a new neighbor. I ordered other place when i was just move in but there is bad at all. So I tried here today.
It was good. I ordered a pizza.
it’s very tasty, lovely thin crust and nice combination with vegi and meat.
but little salty to me… hence I rated 4stars.

I would give this place more than three stars but the woman that is always at the cash register is so grumpy and unpleasant to deal with. She yells at the cooks all the time. As well as the delivery boys. So far everything that I’ve eaten from here is fantastic.

Love this place. It’s our lunch go-​to «spot.» The paninis and waffle fries are so good!!!

I liked the chicken philly. The cheese wasn’t excessive, and they weren’t cheap with the chicken.

Love coming here for breakfast sandwiches.
Long kaisers with pork roll egg and cheese. It’s probably more food that anyone needs in the morning but when you wake up late on a Saturday there is nothing better.
I have only been here for breakfast and it has always been fast service. I normally eat and chit chat about the night before with a friend. I love that this place is so casual it really does not matter what you wear. However you may be judged as you walk by spread to get here.

Really 4.5 stars — 5 stars for those boneless wings and around 3 to 4 for everything else.

The last time around, The Spot didn’t blow me away, but it wasn’t half bad. So in an attempt to see what their pizza and wings were like, the GF and I decided to check them out again. I’m glad we did.
Large Special Pizza [$ 15.99]
Pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, onions, mushrooms, green peppers
First thing’s first. For us, it’s not about the pizza at The Spot. It was a bit soggy, but the dough was decently seasoned and the veggies seemed fresh. Overall, it was alright, but there are certainly better pizzas out there like Lazos Pizza & Grill.
Special Chicken Sandwich [$ 7.99]
Lettuce, tomato, provolone, bacon, Russian dressing
The GF was in the mood for a chicken sandwich so was happy with this effort. The chicken was crisply fried, juicy, and decently seasoned. The Spot seemed to have forgotten the provolone, but the Russian dressing helped to amp up the sandwich a bit. And waffle fries? Nothing wrong with those!
Boneless Buffalo Wings [$ 13.29]
20 pieces; half mild buffalo, half BBQ
The real star for us though? The boneless wings. Now let me tell you — I’m personally a bone-​in man myself. But for the GF’s sake, I deal with boneless. And with The Spot’s iteration, I have no qualms with that at all. These were incredibly moist, perfectly crispy and both sauces were on point. The buffalo was slightly spicy and the BBQ was not overly sweet and definitely had nice smoke to it.
So if you’re in the mood for wings or have a somewhat finicky partner, definitely check out the wings here. There’s easily some of the best boneless wings in Center City.

If you’re looking for a place for a great salad this is not the place. Like most places I’ve ordered from, only the fried food is good. But isn’t it always…
The lettuce is rotten. I ordered a cob salad that included brown lettuce, avocados like rubber, and raw bacon. The garlic knots were also stale. Stick to fried food if you order from here.

This is my neighborhood jawn for hangover food and Friday night cheesesteaks.
It’s pretty straight up from-​the-​grill grub. I used to have a weakness for their buffalo chicken cheesesteak, but depending on who is making it, the sauce can get a little heavy.
Nice staff, quick service, and a solid Philly cheesesteak.
