The food was amazing and it was worth the wait because we were waiting for our food and they came two us and offer us a ice cream sandwich

Loved the friendly vibes here! We were staying nearby passing through Oregon and The Spot was one of the places in town open a little bit later, so we decided to come here and I'm so glad we did. It's a beautiful set up with an outdoor patio set up with lights and fire pits as well as plenty of indoor seating for the cold and rainy weather days. It's a good place for dinner or just to chill over drinks. My friend and I came by Saturday night around 8:30 pm and it wasn't too crowded. We weren't super hungry, so we just got some chips and salsa to share as well as a drink each. The food menu is just one page and looked pretty basic imo, but the drink/cocktail menu is really where The Spot shines. They have a huge selection of specialty margaritas and martinis along with other specialty cocktails. Of course, since it's Oregon, there's a large variety of wines and beers (draft and canned) as well. My friend got one of the beers on tap, and I asked the bartender (also the owner as I found out later) to make me a mocktail. He was able to whip something up with non-alcoholic gin that was tasty. My one issue with my experience here - based on the final amount I paid (it's so much easier to calculate when you don't have to worry about taxes), I think my mocktail was $15 which seemed pricy to me, given that many of the cocktails on the menu are the same price or even cheaper. read more

We have been waiting 35 minutes for two burgers. The waitress says it'll be 10 to 15 minutes before anything comes out of the kitchen. Seems crazy to have a downtown restaurant that takes an hour to get a hamburger. At this point I would not recommend. Update: left after 1.25 hours without getting no food. The restaurant was totally empty except for a single guy nursing a drink. I think the cook must have gone home. read more

This is an awesome spot (see what I did there ) for live music, great food, and awesome hang on the roomy patio with fire table for when it cools off. The owner is super friendly and the service is top notch. Perfect place to unwind with a tasty drink and yummy eats on after a long day. read more

They have a short menu but it's good. I definitely think some of the dishes were very good. Madras has a new spot, called The Spot. You order at the bar and get a number. The lady working there was super nice. We ordered the pulled pork, chicken nuggets, smoke salmon sandwich and tacos. All of them were good! They have a full bar and good amount of beers on tap. The place is clean and airy. I would come again. read more

I ordered a salad add chicken with blue cheese dressing. I could immediately tell that the bc dressing was cheap, out of the bottle dressing; reminded me of Kraft. Being someone who doesn't like sweet blue cheese dressing, I asked for ranch instead. It was hidden valley, which just made me feel like I could make a way better salad at home. The chicken was like jerky dry. Almost like it was twice cooked or something. My father got the carnitas tacos, which were kinda bland without a bunch of salsa. I wanted to write this because these guys have a 4.5 star overall review so we expected great food! Definitely not the case.. two star at best. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the bar was very clean. Nice bartender. I would stick to the affiliated food trucks out back to be safe if I were you. If the owner reads this, as someone who has been in the industry my whole life, I would make your own ingredients, or buy way better quality. Other than that it's a great place to grab a beer! Hope this helps some of you. read more

Best experience I've had at a local restaurant in quite a while. Karaoke was so much fun.

Convenient place to stop and get a quick bite. The food was fine but cheap which was great. Sunday happy hour all day. Nice clean restaurant. Service was nice read more

Nice venue - event venue! Met the owner, he is peasant and personable. We both enjoyed the teriyaki bowl. The Spot has a full bar and entertainment options, e.g., live music and food trucks on certain days. It could be the best entertainment and food option in Madras! read more

Very nice place. Food was good and owner is very nice and pleasant. Would recommend for any occasion

Andre is a wonderful host, he excels in warm communicaion with his customers and makes you feel at home. Ive heard his guest artists have been good, making people come to dance and hang out on a Saturday night when someone comes to play music. Ive had the food from he bar and the outside food truck, and his chef seemed a little naive when they first opened, ive heard there have been gradual improvements in that department. He always offers a nice variety of alcoholic choices with creative cocktails, its his extraordinary "mocktails" that have been gaining in popularity. People aren't always looking for a hard cocktail, the other offerings have been picked up and served to those alcohol free, discriminating crowd. But you'd have to come out for a taste of offerings yourself, and give some feedback of your own true favorites! read more

Stopped here before heading to Lake Billy and had amazing service and delicious food and drinks.

Fun spot for drinks and music. Food would pass on. Pretty pedestrian served on paper plates. Stick to drinks and friends.

The food was phenomenal! And the owner was super kind, accommodating, and friendly! We played cards while we waited for our food, which was a fun time and different from other restaurants :) Would highly recommend! read more

Very expensive for what you get, the drinks are poured light! and the owner is really full of himself! Will not return

A great, clean family friendly restaurant. Super friendly staff and good food. The chicken meteors were a favorite! We loved the little extras like card games and patio games. We will definitely be back! read more
