The family running the place stems from a family of restaurant owners in California, who wish to extend the tradition of quality in a casual setting here in Nassau County. The beef is grass-fed, which I enjoy, but the price tag is something I don't. Burgers without adding anything extra on can run you about 9 dollars. That's the price you'll pay however if you want a burger without antibiotics on Long Island, and if you justify the fact that you will pay 9 dollars for a club sandwich at any given diner, it's OK once in a while.
The Burger Spot offers a veggie burger option, which is very tasty for a vegetarian offering, but too expensive for a sandwich with no meat in it. It utilized portabella mushrooms as the main meat replacement which is smart, instead of some odd fried veggie concoction. There's an Alaskan Crab option, as well as an Italian themed burger called The Sicilian.
My favorite burger however, was just the standard burger, as I enjoyed the home sauce and just tasting the meat of the burger. I enjoy the brioche bun as the standard bread, as it brings a different flavor to the burger than the regular white bread sesame many other burgers universally use.
The fries were tasty, thin and very crispy. They tasted like you got them at a carnival and not from a fast food fryer.
Overall, I'm not too crazy about The Burger Spot. It is a nice option for 7th Street, and has a nice exterior and a friendly interior. However, this new burger craze seemingly sparked by Five Guys is a bit much for me, and most gourmet burger places are overrated and really expensive. Taking your family of 5 out for burgers at The Burger Spot will run you 50 dollars at least, which is insane. There aren't too many options, so I assume burger aficionados will likely not be too impressed, as they are the ones who would be excited about such a place. If money is not an issue, there shouldn't be too many complaints. It's a nice looking place in a nice area, family owned and operated. For a good, solid, grass-fed burger, The Burger Spot is a cool new place to try once or twice.

My family and I were there last week and we ordered the nine dollar burgers with onion rings. And as you know, it's kind of expensive, but very good, and we enjoy the atmosphere since we walk around there a lot. So keep flipping, you guys are great!
