Cool local college spot that we chose for hot wings and they delivered! Small space with lots of signed sport memorabilia on the walls. The wings were hot, fried hard and spicy! The service was fast and with a smile.

Mr Spots is hands down one of the best hole in the wall gems in Ann Arbor. I usually get the steak hoagie (minus onions) and a sack of waffle fries. This is an absolutely delectable combination. The cheese on the hoagie is perfectly melted and piping hot, with the fresh tomatoes and lettuce as a nice contrast. The line can be long at times (especially when there's a sports game going on), but Mr Spots is definitely worth the wait.

Philly Original, wings, Chili Cheese Fries

My fiance and I came to Ann Arbor for a weekend trip and stopped by here because we heard Tom Brady liked it, and my fiance loves Tom Brady. You walk in and it's very casual, with cool photos and articles of different athletes hung on the wall. We got to order right away. Service was very friendly and patient as we figured out what to order. We ultimately got a Philly cheesesteak, chili cheese fries, bbq wings, and a lemonade. All were simple but tasty! Exactly what you would expect. It was fun to read about Tom Brady's experience here and have an affordable and delicious meal!

I dig dingy college food joints and was truly hoping to love this spot. Wings and cheesesteaks? Sign me up! One might suggest that Mr Spots makes good drunk food, but the flaws in their main offerings would not pass muster even if I were three sheets to the wind. The only thing that elevated my experience beyond one star was their willingness to serve my six piece wing order as all flats, without an added premium. Flats rule. Drummettes drool. Actually, I should not cast aspersions about drummettes. The more people eat 'em the more flats are left for me and the rest of the chicken wing cognoscenti. But I digress. The best part of dingy college food joints is typically the low prices. I get that food costs are drastically on the rise, and wing prices in particular have gone through the roof. So I did not let a $10 order of six wings dissuade me. However paying an additional buck fifty for blue cheese and celery, felt punitive. And north of $7 for a six inch cheesesteak? If the food is good, I'm certainly willing to pay for it. Except the food is not good. It's not just not good for the price. It would not be good for even half of the price. To be fair, the wings smelled great. I ordered the food to go, but parked right outside the front door. It was literally seconds between getting the hot food in my hands and opening the styrofoam lid in the card. The wings looked great too! Large, well-sauced, and with crispy edges. While the wings were certainly crispy at some point in their lives, something awful must have happened to them along way. At the tips of the wings, there was still a little crunch, however the skin of the wings was flabby AF. Additionally the wings were barely warm in their center. It seemed as if these wings had been fried in advance and were simply reheated. My wing loving daughter, who I've seen tear through a pile of wings, tried one and simply could not go on. Then she tried a bite of the cheesesteak, and was done with that too after her first taste. I cannot abide wasting food, so I dutifully finished our order, but it was without an iota of pleasure. The cheesesteak improved a bit when it was dragged through the wing sauce and drizzled with the blue cheese dressing. But even that magical combination of flavors could not make the sandwich anything better than edible. When I think that people are ordering wings at Mr. Spots when they could be going to the newer place down Packard, I weep a bit for humanity. With chicken wings being ever more precious and in reduced supply, I feel it's more important than ever for wing places to respect their ingredients and do good things with these delectable morsels. This was more than a little disappointing. At least now I know and never have to return.

One of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had

Courtney E.

OMG! Soooooo good. If you could only get one item off their menu, make sure it's the cheesesteak with extra cheese. The meat was tender, the cheese was cheesing, and the roll was soft. I also got the fries which were delivered cold, but seasoned. I'm that toxic person who has to get something sweet when I eat something salty/savory so I also ordered the chocolate malt milkshake and that was great as well. If only my stomach was big enough to finish it all, but at least I have leftovers. This was easily one of the best cheesesteaks I've had outside of Philly.

Jessica L.

Great place to go if you're craving something quick and cozy. I regret not coming here as often in my undergraduate years. You can tell that this place is a frequent location for a lot of students. Definitely give it a try if you want a nice meal after studying!

Lily N.

Can I get a heeeeeeckkkkk yeah?! This sandwich is BOMB. I have to add, I ate this sandwich 4 hours after I got it and it still tasted amazing. $11 for a 10 inch cheesesteak, gooey cheese, and a ton of steak inside - can't beat it. I ordered it at about 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and it was finished in less than 10 minutes. Best cheese steak around!

I ordered the 10 inch Philly cheese steak. I usually order the 10 inch Philly original. This time I wanted to try something new. I was very disappointed to find out that the Philly cheesesteak is nowhere near as good as the original. I feel wronged and this should be taken off the menu. NEVER AGAIN. Tom Brady was wrong.

Kelsey I.

This place was unassuming from the outside, but super neat when you walk in. The owner is obviously a Michigan/ Patriots fan because his Tom Brady fan gear is all over. I have to say, I wasn't expecting great things from this place, and they wowed me. Expect to fight for seating or take it to go on game days- there isn't a lot of "real estate" but it makes it up for it in food taste. I got the cheese steak with sauce on the side & onion rings. Hubs and I shared a chocolate shake and I munched on a chocolate chip cookie on the way to the hockey game. The cheesesteak was cooked amazingly, but when I picked it up, some hot grease spilled out of the meat onto my lap, so that wasn't cool, but it tasted great. It had an amazing savory taste. I thought they should have offered some au jus with it, that would have sent it over the top. I wasn't fond of the watery marinara and glad I got it on the side. The shake was great, but not $5 great. Same with the onion rings, nothing to write to mom about but a plentiful serving that we couldn't finish. I want to try the cheese fries and brownie next time I'm around. The cookie was a shrink wrapped and not locally or hand made. Overall, this place was unexpectedly great.

Boneless Wings (garlic parmesan) w/ a side of hot sauce.

Having grown up in PA one of my favorite foods is a Philly cheesesteak. Mr Spot's is not only the best cheesesteak I've had outside of PA, it's one of the best places to eat in Ann Arbor, period. Their cheesesteaks and waffle fries are absolutely amazing. If you're in Ann Arbor, you have to stop in. Staff is great! read more

Decided to stop in one night - always wanted to find a decent cheesesteak in Ann Arbor - and wow, I don't think a first order anywhere could have gone worse. I ordered a steak hoagie to go only to get back to my place, open it up and find that they had gotten the order wrong and given me a chicken hoagie instead. Nice. How one mishears the word "steak" for "chicken" is beyond me. But I wouldn't be so put off if it wasn't for the overall terrible quality of the sub. Damp bread. Dry chicken. Watery sauce. Don't anticipate a return visit - they're one-for-one on giving me an awful experience, wouldn't want to potentially hurt their shooting percentage. And I prefer competent restaurants that actually get orders correct. read more

Ok food. A little pricey. But good if you're craving greasy onion rings, wings, and chee steaks. CAUTION: suicide wings are very hot.

Cheap and quick to go food that always hits the spot! Not the best food in town but when you are feeling something greasy spots is a good choice. The boneless wings are always a good choice in my opinion. Half a dozen wings and a 6 inch philly original will fill you right up. Delivery is pretty speedy as well. read more

I'm not the biggest fan of cheese steak hoagies, but their suicide wing dings with a side of their beautifully seasoned waffle fries definitely hit the spot every time I go there. Also what makes them really unique about their delivery is that every time I order delivery I get it just as fresh and hot as I would if I were dining in. Most definitely my new to-go spot for wings in Ann Arbor. read more

Order was chili cheese fries, chicken fingers, 2 doz hot wings with bone and a full Mr.Spots cheese steak. What was good: Ccheese fries. Chicken figers... just fine. Who can't make those? Not so good: Wings were WAY overcooked making them leather-like. Was more like eating wing-jerky. Spice however, was good. Sandwich lacked flavor and doesn't deliver well as the bread was soggy to the point where you needed a spoon to eat it. I didn't want to Yelp this but their website has no way to provide feedback directly. They should change that unless they want 2 star reviews to end up in the public eye. We might try them again but there are many other places that can provide similar offerings so it will be a while before we dial there number again. read more

Let's be very clear, the only reason this place isn't a 4 star is because there are better cheesesteaks out there. Not by much, but Gabriel's in Ypsilanti and Pat's in Philly both have a better sandwich. Spot's differentiates itself by the mountain of waffle fries they provide, the fact that they deliver (slowly), and the in store dining experience promises sports on TV and all the ketchup your bun and fries can soak up. I've been to this place over 50 times, maybe closer to 100. I've picked it up and had it delivered in the same day. Spots is the ultimate hangover cure, and by hangover cure I mean sleep-inducer. They might as well have a disclaimer on the aluminum foil that says "may cause drowsiness, do not eat while driving or operating heavy machinery). Eating spots cheesesteaks requires at least 2 hours of napping or 4 hours of TV to shake-off, after which you'll be ready for a night out at Rick's or the Jug. I recommend the Philly O with mushrooms and Wiz but the Wings are also awesome. read more

I'm not a fan of this place. The cheesesteak was nothing close to the Philly original. They don't offer a Cheese Whiz option; you can't call yourself a Philly Cheesesteak place without that. The steak was under-seasoned; the American cheese wasn't completely melted; and, the onions were undercooked. Then, there is also the issue of cleanliness. I got a Sprite from the soda machine, and when I looked at the cup, there was brown organic matter in it. The food sucks, and the restaurant is diirty. Stay away from this place. read more

I came back for lunch excited to experience it again, and while the staff was just as warm and the environment just as great, however, this time the lunch menu didn't quite live up to my expectations. They offer salads, sandwiches, mac and cheese and similar American-style comfort food, which is totally fine, but for a restaurant of this caliber I was hoping for something a little more exciting. I ended up ordering a salad with added shrimp, which was absolutely delicious, and a pomegranate rosemary lemonade that was incredibly refreshing - perfect for a summer day-. But if you're not in the mood for sandwiches, salads, or mac and cheese, your options are pretty limited.

From the gardens to the land with a creek flowing though it -- to the beautiful building and pleasing decor inside and a porch with tables around much of it. So impressed. The menu, our server explained, is changed out quarterly and this is the new summer one. So many unique small and large plates (but when he described them, they were way more intricate and enticing than the menu even showed). He was attentive and helped guide our choices. We ordered the eggplant small plate to share, then the mushroom pizza (so much tastier than the description would indicate), and the wild boar brat with cherry and peach accents. Everything was delicious. I also got an iced latte with the house made mocha and it was better than alcohol, if you're a coffee lover anyway. 100% plan to come back! And likely soon. This is up there with how I feel about Sylvan Table, which is a huge compliment to Dixboro Project!

This Sunday, my mom invited myself and my siblings to join her for brunch. The ambience was amazing - with lovely natural lighting and gorgeous table settings. The menu makes every dish seem mouthwatering and delicious. When the plates came out, they were gorgeous and the food looked so inviting. Unfortunately, the taste was completely lacking. If you're going to charge the prices they're charging, the flavor should be amazing in every single bite. We sampled four different dishes, and none blew me away. Some, were even borderline "bad." Here's a rundown: mushroom pizza - the description makes it seem like it will be cheesy and full of flavor, but it was very one note duck confit pizza - had three pieces of duck on it and was otherwise covered in hot peppers lemon blueberry pancake - more of a skillet cake - sauce was the best part, otherwise dry on the bottom Raclette burger - $30 which is almost comparable in price to a burger I had at The Four Seasons in Maui. That burger, was worth every penny. This one had absolutely no flavor. The meat tasted like mush - definitely lacked seasoning, and there was not a speck of cheese to be found. If you're going to call a burger a raclette, it should be oozing with cheese. grilled Romaine salad - leaves were bitter and the dressing again, looked delicious, but had no flavor. The flavors did not compliment each other at all - with the pickled grapes, taking away from the dish and contrasting very starkly against the rotten tasting lettuce Brown sugar oat milk latte - really the only thing that delivered both on looks and on flavor. Sadly, not high on my list of places to return. It kind of made me think of Vegas: lots of pomp and glam which momentarily distracts you into thinking you're having the best time of your life. But in retrospect, not very fulfilling.

The drink is only available for a limited time so indulge and enjoy the hard work to make such a delicious and decadent drink. My final bill was $37 before tip. I try not to look at the prices when I visit as each visit is such a treat and the quality in everything is unmatched. Worth it. The convenience of the drive up is also a perk. Easy in and out without having to leave my car. Love it.

I just really liked their pumpkin pancakes and wanted to see what was in season now. We ordered the breakfast burrito (a bit on the smaller side but filling for me). It's hot sauce and sour cream were great companions!! We also ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes and it was cooked to perfection (crispy on the ends but still fluffy)!! The flavors were amazing too! I also appreciated that they put the whipped cream to the side (since I have lactose sensitivities). It's very loud in there but we were seated near the windows so it was nice. Oh and there is a waiting area with a couch to the right once you enter in.

Our servers were very friendly, attentive and took great care of us. Tonite we had the pickled tomatoes, which are marinated with basil, and some type of vinaigrette, served in a small jar.

Tip: order extra of the toasted bread, when you order, it's so good and you will need it as the portions of ricotta, tapenade and tomatoes are generous. We then ordered the Arugula and Prosciutto pizza. Awesome flavors, great crust, would definitely order again. It gets busy, so suggest reservation's.

Naked Chicken Wings Cooked very well. This is a somewhat unique feature of Mr. Spots. Have been visiting here intermittently since 1995 (2016 now!!) PRetty consistent recipie, its is a somewhat sour vinegary striking flavour for the Naked wings. Slightly overcookes, Made just crispy enough , which most restaurants can not do without battering /deep frying. SO in conclusion their unique naked wings making system is very specific and provenly consistent and unique. IF you can take sour and hot, then this is the best. Very very casual, mostly bench seating in a small area. My Favorite order: 2 people SHARE 6 wings, fries, celery, and share a soda, comes out to about $10,and decently healthy(ifyou chew SLOWLY on the well cooked bones, even healthier!!) THANKS FOR READING!!!! read more

Awful Customer Service Experience 2pm - called in order for 630 pm delivery 330pm - received call that delivery would not be on time, but would be on the early side. 545pm- called and told me they were very busy, order would be delivered by 8pm. 815 pm - I called and they said my order was actually for pickup not delivery, and they refused to deliver it. (clearly lying, they had contacted me 2x previously that delivery was not going to be on time.) I will NEVER eat there again, nor will any of my roommates. Shameful how they treated a long time customer, from the poor service to the outright LYING. read more
