Point Restaurant & Bar

Man, this place has done it again. AMAZING LUNCHES! Friendly, family-like staff with that ole diner feel/ great look. Make sure you stop in for lunch or order pickup from here ;0)

Great place to grab lunch. The food is always quality.They have some of the best fried oysters in the area at a reasonable price.

A friend brought me to this out of the way spot for lunch. The inside has a charming 50s soda shop/diner vibe with bright paraphernalia covering the walls. Very cute!We shared two specials: the catfish and shrimp mirlton casserole which were $11/12 a piece. Both came with peas, the canned version. Not my favorite but pleasant all the same. The catfish was excellent: fresh, crisp, not even the slightest bit greasy with cocktail and tartar sauces and potato salad on the side along with the peas. The shrimp mirlton was good but we were missing the zing of a bit more Cajun spice which would have elevated the dish. It was served with bucatini style mac and cheese which was a solid showing and an overly dressed side salad..The catfish was the star of the day. Overall a charming, frugal and filling lunch at a happy hole in the wall. I'd be glad to return.

Service was great. All the food was good especially the catfish. I even ate the peas even though I generally don't like peas. The Mirliton and shrimp stuffing could've used some Cajun seasoning. But it was all still good.

This place is like your mama's home cooked food! Everything on the menu is delicious! Excellent home made fresh Onion rings! They are only open during lunch time Monday thru Friday! Wish they were open more hours I'd eat there more! Go there--great food and service!!

I'm kind of torn about The Point.This is a neat little lunch place in Harvey. They only serve lunch and close at 4. I met Dustin for lunch here, on his suggestion. They serve all kind of things from sandwiches and burgers to hot plates. It's cafeteria style, so you walk up and tell them what you want and they put it on a plate and you pay at the register and seat yourself. Not a bad setup for lunch.I decided to get a club sandwich with sweet potato fries and Dustin got one of the specials, which was fried chicken with salad, corn and mac and cheese. My sandwich was okay. It was nothing overly special, but I enjoyed it. The sweet potato fries were a nice touch. I was able to try some of Dustin's chicken and mac and cheese. It was super good and for a lunch, you really get your money's worth.I like the atmosphere of the whole place. The walls are decorated with Louisiana knick knacks and signs and the whole restaurant has a "50's diner" kind of feel. The staff was super nice and friendly.I think that I would go back and maybe try one of the hot meals that they offer. They also have burgers, so I might check that out too.

I would give it 3 1/2 starsThis is a place in the Harvey Canal industrial corridor that we eat at for lunch when we get burnt out on Angelos.It is homestyle foods, white beans, hamburgersteak, tuna fish on croissants, fried trout and such. It is good. I rarely have time to eat in so its usually to go.There is alot of cool trappings to look at. Check out my pics That is what I enjoy about eating in.Ok, let me describe the ordering walking process....Right when you walk in you will see an dry erease board with the specials. You then make your way down the line like a cafeteria and tell the nice ladies what you want. Then you pay at the end and they get your name and you take a seat. They bring out shortly, sometimes though you get it on the spot, just a matter of them scooping it and such. A little reminicant of Rocky and Carlos lunch ladiesGood food no doubt. If you work in the area or it, your already familiar with it, if not and your close by, make sure to put it in your rotation.If you call them they will add your fax # to thier daily menu list. A plus!There is a big giant nice looking bar but im not sure if it is ever used?

Good spot, friendly people, great atmosphere and good food value.Definitely a southern spot which is nice.Don't turn away if they look busy as they can get a line of people served quite quickly.This is the kind of place that sadly is going away so let's all go there and keep this great place alive

The food is incredibly good! the service is more than fantastic and hospitable. it's like you are eating at an old school diner with home cooked meals you would only get from your grandma. if you are in the area or not, this is a must stop!

Great place to go if looking for a true local, authentic experience. Food is off the chart. People very nice. My favorite was the fried eggplant appetizer. Home cooking, poboys and other sandwiches, seasonal options. Well worth the stop and would go again.
