There were a couple of times there was an employee near our table, we tried to wave them down to ask for something, and they acted like they didn't see us.

What a unique and awesome fun spot this was. Pun intended. There are five different places to eat in this one establishment I like how they're connected with walkways and such. Very unique idea. It was pretty chilly out I just wish that the plastic tarps were enough to keep the cold out. But otherwise the service was good the food was good The drinks were good. Wish there was a place like this back home

We had an overall excellent experience. If you have never, been it can be a bit overwhelming and chaotic. You order at the counter, get your drinks and doge food runners all in the same area. Once you survive the gauntlet you are set. You find an open table. They provide you with a device you place on the pad on the table. Once your food is ready they magically deliver it to your table. I was impressed with that system. We ordered their sampler platter and everything was great tasting and hot. Well done. In the end the organized chaos works and everyone in our group enjoyed their food. The staff were all helpful and very friendly. One tip. If you come in a group it's better to order all at once. We ordered separately in our group and the food came out at different times. It was really the one thing I thought was bad about the experience. They also provide free 3-hour parking so you can eat then walk across the street to take a walk on the beach. It's what we did!! We would definitely go back.

Amazing food and the service was quick and friendly. Came here with a group and we all received our food cooked perfectly. Burgers and cheese sticks were amazing 🤩 Would absolutely return here again!

The food here is fantastic! Everything we ordered went above and beyond in terms of flavor! I HIGHLY recommend the coconut ship, and the shrimp kisses. The bar menu was a little lacking but the specialty drinks are fantastic! And your able to eat all this staring out at the beach a few meters away!

Amazing food! Every single bite! The entire staff was also wonderful! Every single one! Atmosphere was great and there’s more than one option if you want a variety. This is several “spots” in one with one great menu! Well done!

It's such a great place!
Had a great lunch with a perfect view of the Gulf!
The adult beverages were top-notch and major compliments to the bartender! Most tasty!
I also appreciate the little umbella! LOL
The meal was delicious, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the onion rings. Hand cut onions and dipped in a very light tempura type batter before being deep fried. You can tell the difference between a hand-made ring from a frozen box ring. They were so good I got 2 orders! 1 to go.

Seven venues in one place. Awesome personalities greeted us and were very kind, smiling warmly and welcoming. Many tables on the terrace and indoors to choose from. A great and varied menu to suit whatever taste you're feeling. You can order your food and choose any table in any of the venues to sit and your food will find you, via a locator device you set in the middle of your table. And FAST.
The food itself was good, albeit simply prepared and mostly deep fried (we did order the appetizer sampler that included mostly deep fried items - shrimp, onion rings, a tilapia filet, waffle fries - so I can't complain so much), but sitting on a second level patio terrace with an amazing ocean view and several winged friends all around made the experience a brightening and happy one. And the food really did taste great, no matter how it was cooked.
My lovely lady and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The staff really are all top-notch, all smiles and helpful beyond measure. We will definitely be going back before our much-loved vacation is done. I'd say anyone and everyone should hit this place at least a few times whenever possible.
P.S. For any unknowing touristy types, like me and my babe, the seagulls, Gracks, and pigeons can be a real joy. They will fly and/or walk right by your feet seeking the good food. As my pics show, I couldn't resist pitching tiny pieces of waffle fries and fish to the gulls and the somewhat fat pigeon that approached nearly like a pet cat. The great tailed Gracks here are beautifully iridescent black, quite talkative, and appreciative of any morsels. Our apologies to the staff if this practice is frowned upon, but we had great fun with it.

The food we got at The Spot was EXCELLENT! We sat outside on the upper deck and the views of the beach were incredible! We didn't wait .ore than 5 minutes or so for our food to be delivered to our table, but here's the rub: if you haven't been there before, the ordering process is very confusing. When you go to a place like this you expect to sit down, and then someone takes your order, brings your drinks, appetizers, and meal. But that's not the way it goes here. There is a hostess, but it would seem her only function is to direct you over to a counter, like a fast food joint. After you order they give you some sort of track here to lay on your table, so that they can bring the food to the appropriate spot. The drink stations are awkwardly placed, where the traffic going to them and away from them pretty much just runs through the same area. But really, great food and a great atmosphere! Pricey for a casual restaurant, but it's a tourist area so I guess that's par for the course.

Fun “Spot” with solid food. I enjoyed the coconut shrimp and the queso was delicious despite them being a little skimpy on the chips. We were hoping for a table with a view but it’s difficult to find a table especially if you have kids in tow so we ended up in an empty room upstairs which was ok. The marg of the month was tasty. Overall, pretty good food. Just be prepared that it’s a popular place and you may have a hard time finding a place to sit.
