Bennett Point Grill

I went there a week ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Four in my group arrived at a peak lunch time. There were no tables available yet they managed to find one for us after a very short wait. We came for the fried oysters. Our waitress was very accommodating. She pointed out the menus had not yet been revised to include a lunch basket at a better price which included fries (Ok), slaw (excellent), and a home made combo of tartar sauce and red sauce which was really good and fresh. The appetizer amount of fried oysters at dinner were the same portion as the lunch offering. I looked about to see what other people were ordering and I almost changed my order a few times because of the really great variety of foods. Next time (and there will another time soon) I may get the huge bowl of chili. We were each given a fresh warm roll with ( real ) butter which helped us wait for our orders. Considering the crowd, our wait was not long.

I am so surprised I haven't added a review yet since we frequent Bennett Pointe Grill. It is a local favorite, and they have a room that can be reserved for dinner parties. We have had many family events in that room. The food is always good and the drinks are reasonably priced. My favorite burger is the one with the pimento cheese, which is also great. I haven't had anything bad there. My favorite dish is the shrimp and grits. It's one of the few places they take the tails off the shrimp! The flavor is so good a d this salt a holic doesn't have to add salt. The deserts are made for them special by a local lady and they make amazing Key Lime pie in-house. Definitely get by there for a fabulous dinner.

My food was good and didn't take long to get service, this place has a nice ambiance is nice with a lot of friendly customers.

"Durham neighborhood restaurant, lots of seafood"Nestled in a strip mall by Food Lion and Dollar General sits this place, this place has been there since 1997 as a family restaurant. The menu has salad, pasta, sandwiches, chicken, beef, and especially seafood. I ordered takeout from here via ChowNow. I got the "low country fried flounder" with fries and a side salad, and my wife got the pasta san remo. There was an option for curbside pickup, so I used that. This is one of the places in town where curbside pickup actually seems to work. (Gotta laugh at the places on Ninth Street that claim this...) You place the order, get a time estimate, and when you pull up, call the number, and they actually come out to the curbside right away and give it to you. Two thumbs up!Everything was packed very nicely-- salad was in a separate box with the dressing on the side, a tartar sauce cup with a good quantity, and even some rolls & butter for us. Though that did mean a lot of styrofoam.The food was good. The flounder came with a LOT of flounder, which was excellent. I felt not-great after eating it just because of the sheer quantity of "fried" oiliness (it was a little greasy, but that's expected from a batter-fried flat fish)... this may be a good dish to split with someone. Salad was fine-- decent mix of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., and not 90% lettuce like some places pull. My wife liked her pasta san remo, but note menu says "in a light cream sauce"... she said it wasn't "light" but a lot of cream sauce (which was fine with her). Basically, I'd say expect anything here to be a little "rich"... Price was fair. It's no cheap Cracker Barrel meal, but it's not unreasonably priced. Pasta dish was $12.50 (before tax and tip) and fried flounder meal was $17.95.Overall, it was good-- I'd say 3.75 stars, so I'll round up.

First time here. The salad was crisp and fresh. I ordered the salmon and dill dressing. Salmon was a tiny bit over cooked, however, flavors were delicious! Highly recommend!! $18.76 for this. I mean... covid and inflation.

Terrible place to work! They treat their employees terrible. Food mediocre at best. Employer not personable.

The food was good the last time we dined there several years ago, but now I see Dixie chicken and grits on the menu. I don't know how long it has been there, but that's disturbing to me. It shows that the restaurant owners are very insensitive to the bad memories that some may have of the Old Jim Crow South. Come on people-- Dixie--Really? This is 2024, so let's move forward with more sensitivity. That's why I rated it so low. You can do much better.

We ordered blue plates special for take out. The hamburger steak blue plate special is really good!

Dined here last night and at 5:30 there was a 30 minute wait. Didn't expect that but we had no where else to be so we waited.Have dined here from time to time over the years and its simple restaurant food at a fair price. My husband had the fried oysters- it was a smaller size order than we remembered it being but considering what we have paid for oysters recently it was a good deal. Nice size oysters, not too big and not tiny ones either. A medium light batter. Says comes with fries and Cole slaw but can substitute other items at no extra cost.Ordered mashed potatoes and a side salad. I had shrimp and grits with thin slices of what looked like kielbasa. Has good flavor and worth what we paid. Came with a side salad. We had key lime pie for dessert,Could have been a little tangierBut home made and it was descent.Atmosphere in the main dining room is a bit crowded, it's one of the things that keeps me from coming back, I sorta feel like cattle being herded into a room. They have a bar area with tables but you can only sit at the bar if seats are available the tables are used doe regular seating. I prefer to sit at the tables in the bar area. This area seems to be filled with regulars. If your looking for decent food at a reasonable price give this place a try.

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended! The the Chicken Alfredo is awesome!
