Spot Drive-In

I always come here for a chocolate dipped soft serve — the small is huge!

Unprofessional and unfriendly. If something is not specifically listed on their vague menu they «are not allowed to make it» like it’s some specialized request rather than just ice cream …
I will most likely come back for a soft serve ice cream but I was shocked at how rude the ladies were that worked there.

So today, after I got off work, me and my husband decided to stop by «The Spot» again, and order some of their hot food. And take pictures of the food (also pick up a paper menu from them) so I could do a proper review. So here is what we ordered:
ME:
California Burger (I asked for cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup and mustard)
Onion Rings
MY HUSBAND:
Cheeseburger (he just wanted cheese and mayo)
Cheese Fries
And of course we tried some of each other’s onion rings/​fries. So here is my review on the food and the service.
This time, there was a lady working there, and a young woman in the back as well. She was very nice and friendly. I asked her if I could take pictures of the menu for Unilocal,and she said she would rather not… But instead, she offered me a paper menu, if I wanted to include that information online. And actually, I prefer the paper menu (because I can take it home and use it to order ahead for pick-​up when I want to go back again), so I gladly accepted.
The burgers are actually good – they were generous with the condiments, so they weren’t dry or anything. And the patties were fresh cooked right in front of me. The lettuce and tomato were fresh. I think the cheese was the white kind, but I like both, so its all good. It was pretty tasty all round. I would have to say it’s a decent quality burger, I mean given the choice, I would rather have this than Burger King.
The onion rings were crisp and fresh. They had a nice flavor, and they are not too salty. They have more of the batter-​type coating, instead of the corn meal (which is good, because I believe the batter type is more traditional anyhow).
I tried a couple of hubby’s cheese fries too, and they were good. The fries are those thicker restaurant style-​cut ones, which are better for cheese fries.
We didn’t get any drinks because we don’t have cup holders, and it was chilly out, so we were gonna go back home to eat anyhow, and we have plenty of beverages here.
I really can’t complain about anything. The food tastes good and its fresh. The service is quick and friendly. And it’s a cute little place! Reasonably priced. I mean what’s not to like?
On a warmer day, I think I’ll stop by and try some of their ice cream, but in general, I’m a happy customer. If you are a local, or traveling through, I would say give this place a try!

Coming from a big city, it’s nice to find quaint places like these. If you keep that in mind, businesses like these are a diamond in the rough. Prices are good and quality is what it is for a drive-​in. I’d rather go here than a Sonic’s any day.

I have stopped here twice and purchased iced cream once. I saw the food coming out and perhaps I shouldn’t write a reviewon something I did not eat but I would not eat it. The fact I wouldn’t eat it qualifies as a 1 star in my opinion. The iced cream is generic soft serve with generic syrups etc. The plus side is that it is very inexpensive and the owner now has Square so he will accept credit cards.

Touting 27 flavors of soft serve ice cream and about 20 different flavors of milkshakes. They serve all the usually lunch items like burgers, fries, hot dogs, chili dogs, BBQ pork, pierogies, cheese sticks etc. They have 8 picnic tables on a covered porch for seating. Great for kids or a quick bite between errands since it convienetly located.

Local to me, & take the kiddies for ice cream a few times a summer. I’ve not eaten from here, but kids have once maybe twice.
Its a small shack w/​some seating on the side. They seem to do a good business.

I come for the amazing soft serve ice cream and the outdoor atmosphere, not many places like the spot around anymore. They have lots of food too! Great place to visit if you are in the area

The Spot Drive-​In is one of the greatest remaining examples of traditional Americana left in the Lehigh Valley. The Spot operates on a seasonal schedule and is open during the late spring, summer, and early fall months.
The Spot is located off of Rt. 191 between Bethlehem and Nazareth. Depending on the time of day, The Spot is usually crowded with a mix of people enjoying traditional fast food items and ice cream. The Spot offers counter service and there is a covered seating area. Personally, I have never eaten anything at The Spot besides ice cream but there are always a wide array of customers eating none dessert menu items so they must be doing something right.
As far as the ice cream, they put out a quality soft ice cream product at a more reasonable price than many of the other ice cream stores in the Valley. Stopping by the Spot on a summer night is something that I look forward to during the winter months.
