I hate The Spot. The service is always terrible. Burgers are fine, typical Galveston townie service.

Goes to the island for the island vibe. Complains about the service having the island vibe.

Nah, it isn't the typical laid back island time thing. What pisses me off is they come around for service, then they don't. They will come refill your tea, then you never see them again. I don't mind self service, but you can't come around and set the expectation, and then disappear. Service or self service, not self service with half ass service.
Evidently they are opening up a new location in League City in the old Tight Ends spot. I bet they get the service right at this location, but I will wait a while before I try it. Too many good burger spots around here to mess with that.

Nothing like having a Hooters waitress that is 8.5 months pregnant, and likely not exactly classic Hooters material prior to being so.

The Spot is terrible. The food was ok (same quality as Landry's chain food) but the service is non-existent. You go to a counter, order your food, get asked for a tip in advance, get your own drink, fight for a table, pick up your own food, and hope you didn't lose your table to someone else while getting your food. The staff, other than the cooks, do nothing.
If the island vibe is you do everything yourself like at fast food restaurant but still get to tip, then this is your place.
Yet people rave about the place and are positively wetting themselves over a second location in League City.

It looks like you don't eat out much because pretty much every counter service place asks for a tip when you pay.

Head next door to the bar, full food service and full waitstaff, no counter, no line.
Look, it's a burger / wing place servicing fried-whatever frozen Sysco fare. It ain't gourmet sheet Jimmy. You go there to chill out, kill a few drinks and soak in the scene. It's a crappy-plus burger place on the beach with booze, music and decent people watching. It knows its place.

Problem is that it isn't full service. They come around when you first get there, well, about ten minutes after you sit down, bring you drinks like it is full service, then they disappear. If you want a second beer, you either wait until they show back up, or you go up to the bar and open a tab there too. So you sit there in limbo, hoping your stoner waiter finishes his heater and shows back up until you are thirsty and pissed off and open a tab at the bar. Happened too many times for me when I lived down there. I'm out on that place.
