The Spot on Lakeshore

It didn't look like much from the parking lot, but I am so glad we went in to the gem. A fun, lively atmosphere on an early Sunday afternoon. We sat at the bar to eat because the place was packed and many were waiting. Lauren behind the bar was efficient and friendly. Drinks were made well. (Aperol spritz) The food was delicious! Please try the short rib hash. Slow braised beef, tomato jam (!), roasted potatoes, fried egg. So good! Menu is full of interesting choices and fresh made favorites. People all around us were talking with folks from nearby tables. The Spot really is the spot to be for brunch! We will be back!

My husband and I were looking for a new restaurant to try with our kids (12 and 6). We found The Spot on Google and decided to try it. It did not disappoint at all! Our server was attentive and friendly and didn't ignore our children like many do. She spoke to our children asking them what they would like and letting them know plates were hot. She spoke TO them instead of ignoring them and talking to us. The atmosphere was very relaxed with a gallery of paintings from local artists to look at or even purchase. The food....the food was amazing! My husband got a chicken sandwich that was so flavorful! My daughter got the big breakfast, and it certainly was big! My son ordered kids chicken tenders. They were perfect! The breading was very crispy with a peppery flavor. I got a bacon cheeseburger that was cooked to perfection and filled the entire large bun! The French fries are reminiscent of fair fries. All in all, we had an amazing experience eating here. With tip, we paid 70. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been here.

Food was delicious! Got the Hettie -big old piece of chicken fried perfectly still juicy on the inside. Fries were perfectly salty. Food taste. Live music was a bit too loud but seeing everyone enjoy themselves was worth it. And the guy was great too. First time there, will be going back!

Went on a whim after I heard they had gluten free waffles. It was no lie! I had a gluten free waffle, crispy hashbrowns and two eggs. All were cooked perfectly, and as I ordered it. Ma got the tiramisu pancakes and she loved them. Waitress was awesome, decor was awesome. definitely going back for lunch, definitely a hidden gem.

Really great breakfast spot! The menu was a modern version of an old school breakfast joint. I had the short rib hash, my kids had biscuits and gravy, a kids waffle and the tiramisu pancakes. Prices were good for the quality and quality of food. Server was nice, professional and attentive. Location was clean I appreciate the owners supporting local artists. I would 100% rather visit a place like this versus a chain. Would recommend to anyone visiting in the area. Next time I am back in NE Ohio, I will visit again :)

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Idk why I thought they served breakfast all day, but the burger I had was awesome! The other 2 sandwiches my friends had were equally good. The server was very sweet and seemed to know the menu. Prices were on the high average end.

This place is so good I’m sitting at my table right now writing the review. I walked in, and it’s a full house. That’s always a great sign. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a coffee. My server has been attentive especially given the amount of patrons here. My coffee is piping hot. The chicken and waffles is one of the best I’ve ever had. The gravy is delicious. I close to never truly enjoy restaurant gravy. There’s just enough maple.... What a pretty dish. This place is a no brainer. I will be back! Update: I came in for breakfast on 4/20 with one of my girlfriends from out of town. We had a beautiful time with mimosas and live music. This place just gets cooler and cooler with every visit! They have art pieces hung on the walls of local artists that are up for sale. Angela is a wonderful server. Top notch. It was packed again, no surprise. Lake county loves this place. This is a hidden gem of Mentor-on-the-Lake. Update May 4: Angela is a great server! The house is always packed to the gills but she is consistently attentive and friendly. I’m always excited to see her on the floor when we come in. I’ve yet to have a bad meal. When my mother in law and I walked in today the gentleman playing music was playing ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ which is obviously my song so that was extra special

The food here is definitely of higher quality. That is what sets it apart from the other breakfast/brunch spots in our hood. Perfectly prepared eggs. Once over medium is actually that! The service was fantastic as well! Love the menu options .. I want so many things! * You have to make a reservation and also have a better chance of no wait if you go earlier in the morning
