11/5/24 Election Day Update ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ:

Election Day has arrived and Iโ€™m quite certain that the only certainty is that when this election is complete, 1/2 of America will be happy and 1/2 will be mad.

I donโ€™t have an opinion on the outcome because Iโ€™m confident that regardless of the outcome, Iโ€™ll still be flipping burgers and tending bar tomorrow morning.

But, in an effort to make a long day go by faster, weโ€™re extending Happy Hour until closing time!

Weโ€™ll dedicate a couple of TVโ€™s to news channels (one on Fox and another on CNN so we are politically correct) and Iโ€™m including a US coloring map for the kids who want to engage in this years political process.

Disclaimer: If the kids are following along, please donโ€™t bring them to Happy Hour. Just not a great idea.

Please remember that while you may not agree with someoneโ€™s political affiliation, itโ€™s best practice to agree to disagree and be respectful of each other.

I believe we live in the greatest Country in the world and Iโ€™m thankful for that.

Cheers to Election Day 2024. ๐Ÿป

My best.

10/24/24 Update:

With Lone Star Rally just around the corner, I want to take a moment to address something important. While weโ€™re excited to welcome everyone to Galveston for this huge event, our priority is always the safety and comfort of our guests.

In light of that, weโ€™ll enforce a no-entry policy for anyone wearing the 1%er patch throughout the rally. This decision is made out of respect for everyone visiting us, ensuring The Spot remains a safe, welcoming environment for all.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

**NOTE** This only applies to our property. This does not apply to any other Lone Star Rally venue.

**ADDITION** This is our 21st year of Lone Star Rally. Over time, things change. I am responsible for acting in the best interest of our business and ensuring a safe and productive work environment for my team and guests. I have spent my entire career being transparent with my team, guests, and community, and this post is simply a continuation of that transparency. It's Friday, go enjoy your weekend.

My best.

In Houston, we elbows, in Cali they Daytons.

For my friendโ€™s 44th birthday, there was only one way to celebrateโ€” with a cake thatโ€™s tippinโ€™ on 44โ€™s. And who better to create it than Hailey Quintanilla of Joy Treats?

Hailey, a former bartender of ours, has gone on to start her own small, woman-owned business, baking cakes from home, and let me tell you, she does an incredible job. Itโ€™s always amazing to see someone from our team succeed, and I couldnโ€™t be more proud of her.

Letโ€™s show Hailey some love and support.

10/4/24 Update:

When I was a young man entering the restaurant business, there was a local restauranteur that I admired.

His restaurant was open from 11am - 2pm & 5pm - 10pm. Multiple times per week, over the course of many years, Iโ€™d go to his restaurant at 1:45pm, sit a the table nearest the kitchen, and have a list of restaurant related questions to ask him.

Without hesitation, heโ€™d sit down with me and answer all of my questions.

Heโ€™s been a mentor, a friend, the God Father to my three sons and I love him like a father.

Today is his birthday and I canโ€™t wait to celebrate with him.

I love you, Paco. Happy birthday. Thank you for being you.

What people say

The Spot on Seawall Boulevard in Galveston is a must-visit American restaurant for anyone looking for delicious food and a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. What sets The Spot apart from other restaurants is their commitment to using locally sourced seafood and making nearly everything in-house every day. From hand-dipped onion rings to gulf shrimp breaded to order, the flavors are sure to impress even the most discerning palate.

But it's not just the food that makes The Spot so special. The restaurant itself has an interesting history - it was built from three vacant houses that were set to be demolished. The founders of The Spot saw the potential in these houses and turned them into a thriving beachfront restaurant that has been serving up "Beachfront Day and Night Done Right" for over two decades.

Whether you're a first-time visitor to Galveston Island or a seasoned local, The Spot is the perfect spot for lunch, dinner, or drinks with friends and family. With five venues all in one spot, there's something for everyone - from burgers and sandwiches to seafood specialties. And with fast, friendly service and a casual dress code, you can relax and enjoy your meal without any fuss.

So if you're looking for an American restaurant that delivers on flavor, atmosphere, and history, look no further than The Spot on Seawall Boulevard in Galveston. Discover what makes this island famous today!
