| - Michael Symon is a bit of a local celebrity. He is in charge of Lola and Lolita, which cater to the culinary needs of people in Downtown Cleveland and the surrounding areas. However, for people who aren't willing to drive into Downtown, he has the B Spot for burgers, beer, and bologna.
Their burgers have won national awards, according to the waitress. Burger names are just as exotic as the ingredients. The burger I got was simply called "Yo!" (yes, the exclamation mark was part of the name). It had banana peppers, colla, salami, a "hot" spread that wasn't really that hot, and - obviously - a burger. The burger itself was on the small and expensive side, and sides are extra. If you don't mind dying and going to heaven, get the onion rings. That was not a figure of speech.
I really wanted to give this place a fifth star, but I found some flaws. The waitresses seemed as devoted to socializing with other employees as they were about doing a good job at their job(s), which is both good and bad. I always thought good servers got to know their customers in the same way a stripper gets to know hers before a VIP dance. That did not happen with me. The full bar made me very happy, though. It would be a good place to meet up for a Yelp Elite meeting or something *hint hint*. For a burger joint, the bar is large like Rosie O'Donnell's waistline. Yes, that was a fat joke. I didn't have any major problems since I'm not that picky and I was by myself, so I can't comment on the poor customer service that others received.
Burgers here are among the best I've ever had - it's getting really hard to rank burger joints now - but the overall experience could be hindered by poor customer service or Nickelback on the satellite radio.
