The Point Tavern

"Very disappointing! I was looking forward to this place but it turned out to be a terrible meal. Sandwiches were tiny and did not come with anything else other than a spoonful of coleslaw and the best part of the dish- a pickle slice. The tater tots had a chemical taste to them, the mashed potatoes were boxed and both the turkey and stuffing were bone dry. Also worth noting is the plop of craisins dumped on top of the turkey as if they were a delicacy. Lastly, the bottled beer selection was sub par for a bar on Forest Ave. One and done for Point."

"Bad experience. Hour wait for absolutely no food. Not even a piece of bread. Maybe 15 diners and you can't serve them in a timely fashion? Amateur operation. Plus a line for the bathroom. Trash. Go to Duffy's."

"Great food selections and nice atmosphere. Very disappointed being this was my first time eating here. Sheperds pie does not call for so much black pepper and Turkey dinner shouldn't need to disguise the burnt waffle that was like a hockey puck under the Turkey. Don't expect stuffing. When I asked for a manager or the person in charge the lady said no such person this evening. Hire staff that cares about your place and food they cook to serve you customers. All the best. Not sure if I will return or recommend."

"When it comes to food, I am a big food snob. I've been living in Staten Island for 34 years and I passed this place when it was Rusty's a million times. I met a colleague of mine for drinks and food here and it did not disappoint. The prices were fair, the place was new and fresh, inclusive of the bathroom (this is very important LOL). The drinks had a generous pour of booze and the food was excellent. Reading thru some of the bad reviews, they may have had a couple of off nights however none of them made sense to me. We both ordered a roast beef sandwich. I had the South Shore. It was fantastic. The beef was juicy, the bread fresh, everything was great. In addition to a pair of roast beef sandwiches, we ordered a hot pretzel and the apple-cinnabon dessert. Everything was great. In addition to this, we got to chat with Edward who had just started his shift serving us animals (he was a gentleman) as well as Rusty (former owner of Rusty's) who gave us a little history lesson on the transition of Rusty's to Point Tavern. I will definitely be back again as it was a good place to have a drink or have some drinks and grab some good pub food. There is a bar area, separate dining area as well as an outdoor space. The surrounding streets offer ample street parking."

"Went last week for dinner and drinks with a few friends and loved it!!! Ordered a bunch of appetizers, chicken was tender, Mexican street corn shrimp with bang bang sauce was on point! Smaller menu with a bunch of roast beef sandwich options and pork/Turkey/beef platter options too. Roast beef platter was delicious and sliced super thin, love that! Wish I got more pics of dinner but ate that too quick lol Wait staff also really nice and attentive. Definitely going back. And redesign feels cozy and very nice looking."
