The Spot On the Alley

Three stars for food.... OK bar food, but nothing worth an extra drive (unless you're near Clemson, in which case you're in a food desert and this is better than sand).

Two-point-five stars for service... friendly and attentive if you can wave the server down amidst the hecticosity of bingo fest.  Food slow to arrive due to small kitchen and big crowd, but it happens.

Five stars for Thursday  bingo and five stars for the bingo host-caller-guy... entertainment made us forget about the minus-stars.

Bottom line... a great experience if you're in it for the experience.  If you're in it just for the food, it's merely alright (which is alright in its own right).

Alright by me.

Went in to order a take out order. The place is smoker friendly, but to a non-smoker it was like walking into a living ash tray. After suffering for 30 minutes I finally got our food. When we opened the first box we discovered the fried green tomatoes to be charred black and grease soaked. We had a BLT that was served with the stem part of the tomato on not just one of the slices, but all of them. Next up was the Philly steak. It was void of all seasoning with the exception of a dash of worcestershire, very tough and just not good. The final hope for grace was the fried pickles. They were also charred beyond edibility. We were given no forks, knives, spoons, sporks, salt, pepper, or other normal things provided in a to go order. I was informed by the manager that is restaurant policy unless you order a salad. Very disappointed. The Spot on the Alley touts itself as Seneca's finest sports bar and restaurant. I guess those that voted this as the Best Of The Best in The Journal have very low expectations.

Love this place. Love bingo on Thursdays, love happy hour prices. Best burgers in town.
