First time dining here. We were greeted immediately and taken to our table. It is a quaint older home and dining was on the back patio. Although a very hot day it was comfortable and cozy. The server was pleasant and engaging. The food was excellent , portion was satisfying and well presented. Choices are limited but varied. Would highly recommend The Spot.

A one & done and a disappointing “dining” experience. A cat sleeping on a dining table? The whole place looked like it was in severe need of a thorough cleaning! They shouldn’t even be on Open Table.
The Spot on Mill StreetResponded on March 7, 2023
Sorry you did not enjoy your experience at The Spot. The house was built in 1750 and, yes, we clean it every single day. It isn't sparkling new. The cat came with the house. She is a feral cat that is 17 years old and she decided she liked hanging out at our place. So we have made her as comfortable as possible to live out her remaining years. Regarding the comment about not being on Open Table, we're ok with your opinion. Denise and David

Awesome quaint little spot with a treasure trove of liquor, beer or wine libations. Wonderful friendly staff and delicious food to boot. Prices are reasonable for the list finger licking plates on the menu. Love the loaded coffee and hot chocolate. Sunday brunch is delightful!

We enjoy this restaurant, but the food was a bit disappointing and the noise level was distracting. It was not due to the other patrons, it was the location. I had the mimosa flight, which was meant for more than one person. The staff was good, and tried to be attentive. I also had the chicken and waffles, which was disappointing. The children was overcooked and dry and the waffles were almost cold. I definitely would not order them again. Overall, we had an okay time but this was a mediocre experience. However, I do have to praise the staff, they were great.

Had not seen each other in person in 25 years, but kept up through Facebook. Our friends came and stayed at an Airbnb in Occoquan so when they wanted to do brunch, I knew exactly the spot to pick, The Spot On Mill. It was a wonderful time spent laughing and enjoying each other and the incredible food! Everything was incredibly delicious and I loved that they left with this wonderful memory!

Table for 4 for Mother’s Day. The place was bustling, but every staff member was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately for us, the weather was windy and cold. The Spot is almost entirely outdoor seating and they did what they could to make things as comfortable as possible (fire pits, blankets, plastic wrap around the perimeter) but it was still a bit of a battle with the elements and future diners should plan accordingly. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, the menu was kid friendly. You couldn’t ask for a better location and the overall rating is 5 stars.

So glad we were able to make your Mother's Day special!! Hopefully we'll see you guys for all the other special occasions too! Denise and David

Isn't the salted caramel the best!!!!!! We love it too. If you like adult beverages. next time we can make you a shake with bourbon added to it!!!! That is 100% drool worthy! Denise and David

We had a nice time at the Spot on Mill Street. I was disappointed, though, that my sandwich was made with processed cold cuts. I would have expected fresh turkey instead.

Sorry, you didn't have the 5 star experience you had hoped for Thursday. I do want to let you know that all of our deli meats come from Boars Head. We do get the deli slices, not the fresh turkey breast slices you had hoped for, Hopefully you will see you again soon. Denise and David

My husband and I went for brunch and sat on the back deck, which was cute and cozy with fire columns and a garden. We sat in a windy spot and the staff thoughtfully offered me a blanket so I wouldn’t get too cold. We were able to move closer to a fire column soon after. The staff was very attentive and friendly. This was our 2nd visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Per our waitress’s recommendation last time, we each got a mimosa flight. They have something like 25 different flavor choices. It’s so festive! We both got the JoAnn sandwich which had ham, turkey and carmelized onions. It was very tasty and served with vege chips. They serve it on plates lined with British newspapers, to add interest. Our server was very efficient, but he said there was no rush, so we enjoyed the rest of our champagne and I relished the warm sun on my back on a cool day in April. We will be back again soon.

The owner is very friendly. I appreciated that he took the time to check on us and talk to us about our visit. When the check came I didn’t realize the gratuity was already added in since we were a party of 6. I tipped 20% on top of the already 20% added in. A gently and friendly reminder about the added gratuity would have been nice. I still would have tipped on too, just not an extra 20%. All around cute little lunch place.
The Spot on Mill StreetResponded on April 4, 2022
Sorry, you had a less than 5star experience at The Spot and that you did not see the notations on our menu and on our website regarding the added gratuity. Please feel free to give us a call tomorrow and we can refund the additional tip that you added.

The Spot on Mill Street not only has a very tasty brunch, the service was absolutely outstanding. Our table was lovely, even with our large party of seven. (We did make a reservation to ensure availability.) I was blown away by the delicious food, and smiling faces of the staff. The mimosa flights were not to be missed, although there were many beverage choices of mimosas aren’t your thing. Five enthusiastic stars, I highly recommend!

Hands down our favorite little cafe anywhere!!!! First, we got there a little early and they sat us right away. We had our puppies with us and they were treated like royalty. The Spot burger is 100% legit!!!! Hubby had the Tomato Basil Soup and the Adult Grilled cheese sandwich. He said it was the best soup and sandwich combo he had ever had. The Spot is absolutely a must visit while in Occoquan. 100 stars out of 100 stars!!!!

What a sweet find! We made reservations because a friend recommended The Spot. We were not disappointed! This little coffee shop is so much more than coffee. The menu has something for everyone. Including my gluten-free needs. We had 2 mimosa flights. There are over 30 flavors offered for them! The largest selection I have ever seen!! It was my girlfriend's birthday and the server Kim brought out a cupcake for her. The gesture was so sweet and the cupcake was so delicious! We recommend The Spot to everyone for any occasion!
